Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 454

Aileen ascended the social ladder by becoming Donovan Slater's mistress, and in the second year of their affair, Donovan's first wife passed away. That same year, while she was pregnant with Nola, Donovan's son from his first marriage died in a tragic accident. But there was no evidence to implicate her in either event."

Elliot frowned, "Evidence or no evidence, it's clear that Aileen is bad news. Nola's scandal has already been suppressed, probably because Aileen pulled some strings behind the scenes. We need to be cautious today, and not let our guard down. Since we don't know their plan, it's safer not to bring mom along..."

Elysia, of course, wanted to go! When your child is in trouble, it's only natural for a parent to step in. But then, Elijah started acting strangely. He wasn't sick, but he sat by the window in silence, just like he used to.

Elijah was faking it to keep Elysia at home. Unaware, Elysia checked on him but found nothing wrong. Still, she couldn't leave him like that. Yet, she wanted to accompany her little ones to the Slater residence, torn between the two.

Blossom said, "Elysia, you stay with Elijah. I'll take Elliot, Evan, and Emmett to the Slaters. I'm their Aunt Blossom, it's just like you going."

Elysia was worried but had no better option, so she reluctantly agreed, leaving her kids in Blossom's care.

So, Blossom set off with Elliot, Evan, and Emmett to the Slaters. Upon reaching the Slater residence, the three kids managed to knock Blossom out. They were worried about Elysia's safety, and naturally, Blossom's too. Blossom was like a mother to them. They cared for Blossom and genuinely liked her.

After making sure Blossom was okay, Emmett quickly took out the makeup kit they had prepared and started disguising Elliot and Evan. Soon, the three kids arrived at the Slaters' mansion. The gatekeeper informed Aileen, and they were let inside.

Nola asked Aileen, "They're here?"

"Yeah, just the kids. No adults."

"Of course, we can't expect manners from the Slaters, spewing filth and making a five-year-old want to curse your ancestors!"

Aileen watched Evan with a thinly veiled displeasure, "So young and already so bold. Does your mommy not discipline you?"

"Yeah, she does. But if someone insults us, we hit back! What, you can insult my mom, and we can't respond? It's wrong for kids to curse, but it's right when you do it? What are you, hypocrites?"

Aileen's eyes narrowed slightly at Evan's retort, "Quite the temper for a little one."
