Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 649

Elliot, with his usual straightforwardness, said, "He's got a lot going for him, but he's not without his flaws."

"Oh? Do tell."

Elliot elaborated, "His biggest strengths are his integrity and solid moral compass, not to mention he's quite capable, takes responsibility, and has a sense of duty. Plus, he's not just a breadwinner; he also knows how to look after the home front. And he's easy on the eyes too—definitely a catch. The downside? He's a bit cold, straightforward to a fault, can come off as abrasive, and has a bit of a commanding presence. Plus, he's not exactly the type to sweep a girl off her feet with sweet nothings. If Mom decides to give it a go with him, she might have to whip him into shape a bit."

Elysia's cheeks flushed, "I—I didn't say I was going to be with him."

"I mean in the future. I get the feeling Mom's got a bit of a soft spot for him. There might be something there down the line."

Elysia was taken aback at Elliot's observation. Could it be that even her child noticed her feelings? Was it that obvious?

Elysia cautiously asked Elliot, "Hypothetically speaking, if—and I stress if—Mom were to start a relationship with him, would you and your brothers be opposed?"

Elliot chuckled, "Of course not. As long as Mom's happy, we're happy."

Elysia was moved to tears, holding her son tightly, speechless with gratitude. How lucky was she, Elysia, to have such wonderful children! She must have done something extraordinary in a past life to be blessed with them as her children.

Comforted by her son's words, Elysia felt a weight lift from her shoulders. Her children's unwavering support was all the reassurance she needed! Elysia's worries faded, and her thoughts simplified. If there was mutual attraction, why run from it? Letting things flow naturally was the best course. As for whether it would lead somewhere, only time would tell.

That afternoon, Elysia took a well-deserved nap, waking up refreshed. Checking her phone, she saw it was already past five—time to start dinner. Blossom had texted, saying she'd be out for a work dinner and wouldn't be home. Just as Elysia replied with an "OK" emoji, a rapid knock at the door startled her.

"Ms. Thorne, Ms. Blythe, are you home? It's the caretaker from across the hall, Keith's aide."
