Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1013

Inside the house, Pamela was still in tears, insisting on heading to the harbor to search for her daughter.

Clayton was by her side, trying to comfort her. She was injured, and it was clear she couldn't make it to the harbor now.

Upon hearing about Evan, he momentarily calmed Pamela down, left the bedroom, and went downstairs to inquire about the situation.

Seeing Evan, Clayton's heart skipped a beat!

The boy's features, at first glance, bore a slight resemblance to his own daughter!

Evan resembled Tarquin, but there was also something of Elysia in him, given she was his mother.

Clayton's thoughts instinctively drifted to a young Elysia, and a sense of familiarity warmly enveloped him.

He was about to ask Evan some questions when the boy suddenly burst into tears.

Running over, he clung to Clayton's legs!

"Grandpa, save me, there's a bad man chasing me, waaah..."

Before any formal introductions, Evan hadn't dared to call him granddad outright.

Clayton froze, "..."

The assistant, seeing this, quickly stepped forward, trying to lift Evan away.

The little guy had smeared his runny nose all over Mr. Hawkins' pants!

"Little buddy, let me give you a hug."

"No, no, I want grandpa to hold me." Evan clung to Clayton's legs, refusing to let go.

As the assistant was about to say something, Clayton stopped him. His Irene, when she was a child, also liked to cling to his legs like this.

Clayton felt a lump in his throat, bent down, and picked up Evan, wiping away his tears with a loving expression, he asked,

"Stop crying for a bit, and tell grandpa, how did you end up here? Where are your parents?"

Evan sobbed,

"I'm not sure, I just know a bad man was chasing me, he ran after me, I was so scared, waaah..."

The Hawkins family's bodyguard explained,

"We found him crying and running, indeed someone was chasing him, and that person looked no good. We tried to catch him, but he jumped over a wall and escaped. Our people are still out looking."

Evan said, "He must be a person who kidnaps kids."

She really did look like mommy!

But grandma looked so pitiful, the Irene she was talking about, was that mommy?

Clayton had already reached the second floor, he quickly helped Pamela up,

"Did you hurt yourself? Why didn't you call me before coming out? Let's get you back to your room."

"No, no, I have to find Irene." Pamela resisted.

Clayton patiently tried to soothe her,

"Listen, let's get your knee better first, and once it's healed, I'll take you to the harbor to find Irene, okay?"

"Not okay, I want to go now, Irene is waiting for me there."

"Pamela, Irene isn't at the harbor."

"Huh? Then where is she?"

Clayton's lips moved, but he didn't know how to respond.

Pamela cried, "My Irene is at the harbor, let me go, I have to find Irene, waaah, I need to find Irene..."
