Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 401

Elysia let out a sigh, "Yeah!"

Blossom, bubbling with excitement, said, "Seriously, Elijah’s dad is a total stud! I mean, he doesn’t even seem like he belongs on this planet – he’s that ridiculously handsome!"

"So, you're saying he's not even human."

"Exactly! He's a god among men!"

Elysia pursed her lips, "Aren’t you into younger guys, though?"

Blossom explained, "Sure, I like them young, but my tastes aren’t limited to just that! Some people might go for the boy-next-door type, but Elijah’s dad, he’s universally adored! He’s versatile – can pull off being the mysterious bad boy or the sweet, caring guy. But trying to get a young hottie to exude that bad boy vibe? Tough!"

Him? The sweet, caring type?

Ha!

Elysia got goosebumps, "He could never pull off being the sweet guy. He's more of a fierce creature – a wolf in disguise!"

Blossom said mischievously, "But there’s something about a bad boy that’s just irresistible! Hey, haven’t you ever thought about being with him? A fling with no strings attached doesn’t sound like a bad deal."

Elysia bit her lip, "Never thought about it! Don't want to!"

Suddenly, she felt a pang of sadness, "But Elijah, he really wishes for it."

Elysia looked at Blossom, moved, put down her knife and potato, and hugged her, "Blossom, you're the best."

"Of course, you should take a leaf out of my book. 'I do no wrong.' That’s the way to live a carefree and happy life. Follow your heart, that’s the right path!"

"Right!"

Just as Blossom had cheered her up, Elysia's phone suddenly went off with a new message alert. She let go of Blossom, wiped her hands on her apron, and pulled out her phone to check it.

After one glance, Elysia screamed in shock, "Ah!"

The phone dropped to the floor like it was burning hot.
