Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1117

However, before Evan could confront him, Cecil made the first move!

Failing to swindle $300,000, he shifted his strategy.

Getting his son back was the new plan. With his son in his grasp, the reasons to demand money would be endless!

Cecil wailed outside Blossom's hospital room,

"Ms. Thorne, I've only just discovered Emmett's existence. Please, I beg you to return Emmett to me. He's the only legacy of the White family, sob, sob, sob..."

The people inside the room were stunned.

Elysia pulled Emmett close, hugging him tightly as if afraid Cecil would snatch him away.

Emmett, confused, looked at Elysia,

"Mommy, what's wrong? Is that uncle outside talking about me?"

Elysia's eyes welled up, her lips trembling, at a loss for words.

"I'll check it out!"

Evan and Blossom went outside together.

Seeing them, Cecil frowned, "Where are Ms. Thorne and my son?!"

Blossom, annoyed, said, "Speak properly. What's with the shouting outside my room?!"

Cecil, sensing her hostility, flashed a menacing look, subtly threatening,

"Ms. Blythe, you've barely escaped death. It's best you stay out of this. Who knows if you’ll be so lucky if you catch someone's attention again."

Blossom was shocked. How did Cecil know about her kidnapping?

"I'm here for Ms. Thorne and my son, not you. Step aside!"

Cecil attempted to barge into the room.

Blossom quickly blocked the door,

"This is my room. Try to force your way in, and I'll call the police!"

Cecil's face darkened, "Blocking my way, are you trying to keep me from seeing my son? Is this what Ms. Thorne wants too?"

Before Blossom could reply, Cecil shouted towards the inside,

"Ms. Thorne, I know you and my son are in there. This isn't right. Emmett is clearly my son, and you're holding him hostage? Keep this up, and I'll call the police!"

After he spoke, he tried to push past Blossom!

Evan, gritting his teeth, stepped hard on Cecil's foot!

Cecil's expression changed drastically, "!"

Blossom, knowing the law, panicked.

If the police got involved, they would definitely hand Emmett over to Cecil!

Evan, having heard about the custody issue from Elliot, knew this was a tough problem.

Evan clenched his fists, ready to resort to force!

As the saying goes, while violence might not solve the problem, it can certainly solve the person causing it!

Just as the little guy was about to act, Tarquin suddenly appeared.

"Let him call!"

He had been downstairs on the phone and had just returned.

Seeing him, Evan and Blossom felt like they saw a savior,

"Daddy!"

"Mr. Bradford!"

Tarquin patted Evan's head and looked at Blossom,

"You two go back inside with Elysia and Emmett. I'll handle this."
