Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1021

Watching those all-too-familiar eyes, Clayton's pupils dilated in shock, his mouth agape!

He couldn't believe his own eyes!

Frozen in place, his excitement made him incoherent, "You... you..."

He saw his Irene!

This was Irene!

Clayton wanted to recognize her immediately but feared the mistake would frighten her!

All he could do was tremble, shivering, trying hard to control his emotions to not lose control, his approach was so cautious it bordered on humility,

"Miss, are you... are you..."

Elysia's eyes were red, tears streaming down her face!

This was her father!

The man who had brought her up, who had searched for her tirelessly for over twenty years!

Even though she had no memory of him, seeing him now felt incredibly familiar!

Seeing how careful and cautious he was in front of her, Elysia felt a pang of heartache and pain!

It's said that extremes meet. How strong must his feelings be, to be so nervous and humble upon seeing her?

He must have searched for too many years, faced too many disappointments, the yearning in his heart too intense!

That's why at this moment of reunion, he was so cautious, afraid to trust his eyes, afraid to trust his instincts.

His cautiousness hid a father's love and the bitterness of years spent searching for his daughter!

Elysia's heart was heavy with sorrow, feeling not just for Clayton but also for herself.

In front of Tarquin, she was a mature wife.

In front of her children, she was a strong mother.

But in front of her parents, she was just a child.

Seeing her father, she immediately broke down!

The hardships she had endured in her childhood, the suffering she had faced, rushed out from the depths of her heart!

Which child doesn't need the love of their parents?

She quickly wiped her tears and turned to look at Evan.

Pamela sat in a wheelchair, wearing a loose linen dress by Evan's side, curiously looking over here.

Elysia's breath hitched, "!"

From a distance, she couldn't see Pamela's face clearly, but she knew, that was her mother!

Longing to the point of illness, madly searching for her for over twenty years!

Because of madness, she was mistreated for a whole twenty years!

Elysia dared not think about how she had survived these ten thousand days and nights?

The agony of longing and physical pain, how had she endured it all?

Elysia's tears broke free again, her heartache reaching its peak!

Clayton stood not far from her, clutching his heart in turmoil.

He didn't know if Elysia's emotional outburst was because of them or because of Evan?

Seeing her cry, he felt heartache, wanting to comfort her, yet not knowing how.
