Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 296

Elijah was fuming on behalf of Elysia, and it only made him angrier at Tarquin!

"Trust me, if I could get another chance to see her, I'd make it up to her in every way I can. I'd devote myself to making her the happiest woman in the world!" Tarquin promised his son earnestly, with all sincerity.

Elijah furrowed his brows, wanting to say that Elysia was indeed his mom but worried she might not be ready to accept him yet.

After much thought, Elijah said, "Just be nicer to Elysia, okay?"

Tarquin paused, baffled. They were talking about his mom, and suddenly it shifted to Elysia?

"You really like Elysia, huh?"

"Yeah."

"How much?"

"I really, really like her. I want to be with her forever, never apart."

Tarquin was shocked, "...And you're not worried about your mom anymore? Weren't you concerned about what would happen to Elysia once your mom came back?"

"She is my mom!"

Tarquin was stunned.

Realizing he had let the cat out of the bag, Elijah quickly corrected himself, "I want her to be my mom! If you truly care about me, you'd treat her better!"

After saying his piece, Elijah left, leaving Tarquin in a daze.

Exiting the study, Elijah watched Elysia retreating back with joy before finally heading to his room.

He texted Elliot.

[Let's meet today, I've got something important to say.]

Elliot replied after a while.

[We are going to preschool today, might be hard to get away. What's up? Does it have to be in person?]

Hesitating for a moment, Elijah texted back.

Elliot added, "I've done a DNA test with your dad, and the results are in. Your dad is indeed my dad! If my mom is also your mom, then we're really full brothers!"

Elijah was thrilled at the thought of finally having a brother, no longer alone.

"Have you told your dad or my mom about this?" Elliot asked.

"Not yet. I was afraid to spill the secret."

"You did right. Let's not say anything until the DNA results are in."

If they truly were full brothers, it would raise many questions. Firstly, if their mom knew about Elijah, she wouldn't have abandoned him. It meant someone took Elijah without her knowing.

Who was it?

What was their motive?

And why did they take Elijah but leave Elliot, Evan, and Emmett behind?
