Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 462

Evan's eyes lit up. "What's the plan?"

"Just wait and see. Don't worry. With me on your side, the Slater family won't make Elysia come over! I'll handle this mess for you. Just do as I say. Let the doctor check you over, and if you're all good, I'll let you go. Now, let's go find Elliot and Emmett."

Tarquin spoke with the warmth of a doting father.

Evan felt a soothing touch on his heart as he gazed at Tarquin, his little face a mix of emotions. Without further resistance, he allowed himself to be carried towards the stables.

Once they arrived, Tarquin had a doctor examine Evan to make sure the lad was alright before letting him go. Evan hurried back to Elliot, rubbing his hands together with a guilty expression.

"Bro, I think I've caused another mess."

Elliot ruffled his hair. "Don't sweat it. The cleanup crew has arrived. Mom won't find out."

The commotion today was quite something, and Elliot was a bit worried, but he felt reassured after seeing the messages from Tarquin and Elijah.

Evan glanced at Tarquin. "Can he really handle it?"

"Absolutely! Like I've told you, as long as it doesn't involve Mom, he's a genius. Just watch."

"…"

"These troublemakers did it! They wrecked our home! The Slater family demands compensation, double the loss! Call their parents, let's settle this. If they can't pay, they'll pay with their lives! Or let that woman Elysia rot in jail forever!"

Aileen sneaked a glance at Tarquin. She was a clever woman. She knew Tarquin was here for the kids, and she feared he might defend them. Suppressing her rage, Aileen turned to Tarquin with a pitiful look, choking up.

"Tarquin, it's not that we want to be hard on the kids, but the Slater family's loss today is too great. We can't just overlook it. We need to discuss compensation with their parents."

The Slater family and the three kids all turned to Tarquin. With a slight frown and a lift of his eyelids, Tarquin spoke coldly.

"I am their guardian. What does the Slater family want to discuss?"
