Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 315

Elijah was like a little beast that had been thoroughly provoked; without a word, he charged and threw a punch!

Tarquin swiftly dodged his attack, retreating several steps in shock.

"Elijah, what the heck are you doing?!"

"Cut the crap! If you're brave enough, fight me!"

Evan's face was filled with fury as he launched a fierce attack. Tarquin, of course, wasn't going to engage in a fight with him, but Evan was skilled, leaving Tarquin no choice but to keep retreating and dodging his attacks. Back and forth they went. Furniture clashed, vases shattered, and soon the sound of breaking echoed throughout the spacious room.

Worried that the glass shards might hurt his son, Tarquin tried to force him to calm down, only to receive a punch straight from his own flesh and blood! Even though Evan was young, his punch was powerful, striking Tarquin hard enough to draw blood. Tarquin was stunned, his mind reeling with the thought, 'my son hit me, my son hit me, my son hit me.' It wasn't just his face that his son had hit; it was his heart... The heart of an old father, shattered into pieces on the spot.

Lowell happened to walk into the room just then and stood frozen in shock at the sight! Seeing Evan about to throw another punch, Lowell quickly stepped in front of Tarquin.

"Whoa there, Elijah, cool it, let's talk this out."

Evan immediately withdrew his fist; his intention was only to hit Tarquin, not to hurt an innocent.

"Mr. Lowell, step aside!"

Mr. Lowell?

"Elijah, you're not confused; you recognize me, right? Then do you know who he is?"

Elijah surely wouldn't know; otherwise, why would he resort to violence, especially against his own father. But 'Elijah' said, "Of course, I know. The world’s number one jerk, Tarquin, the ultimate jerk!"

The world’s number one jerk, Tarquin?! Lowell's eyes nearly popped out of his head in disbelief. Elijah knew this was his dad and still hit him? A son hitting his father—this was utterly against nature! And to call his dad the world's number one jerk!

Lowell instinctively turned to look at Tarquin. Tarquin, deeply hurt in spirit, had been silent for a while. On hearing this, he pressed his thin lips tightly together and stared straight at 'Elijah', not saying a word. Evan frowned deeply, visibly angry.

"A real man stands by his actions. If you can’t own up to them, you're a coward!"

Tarquin's brows were furrowed as he looked back at him, his tone even, "The 'mom' you're referring to, is Elysia?"

"Of course! She's the only mom I have!"

"..."

Tarquin clenched his lips tightly, a surge of anger rising within him, a flash of severity passing through his eyes. Well then, Elysia!
