Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 862

Evan was starstruck, his eyes twinkling like the night sky!

He quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, trying to get rid of the dirt from the scuffle earlier. He didn't want to dirty the little girl's hands. Once his hands were clean, he eagerly reached for the candy, his excitement tying his tongue in knots.

"Th-thank you."

"You're welcome."

The little girl flashed him a smile that nearly melted his heart.

Oh Lord, whose little angel is this? How can someone be so adorable?

Her face was soft and squishy, just begging to be pinched!

This was the dream sister he had always wanted!

He was so tempted to take her home!

The bodyguard, probably picking up on Evan's intentions, frowned warily and told the little girl,

"Miss, we'll leave those bad guys to the police. It's time for us to go."

"Oh." In a voice sweet as honey, Blossom asked Evan, "Did you come out all by yourself? Where are your mommy and daddy?"

Evan hurriedly replied, "They're out there doing good deeds, helping other kids with counseling. I came out by myself."

Blossom's eyes went wide, as round and shiny as grapes,

"My daddy says kids shouldn't go out alone, or the bad people might snatch you away, and then you'd never see your mommy and daddy again. So, you shouldn't go out by yourself anymore, it's too dangerous."

Evan's heart swelled with joy, touched by her concern.

He momentarily forgot his own stature, whether or not he could be snatched away, and without thinking, he nodded,

"Yeah, you're right."

You're so cute; anything you say is right!

"I have to go now, bye." Blossom's sweet voice lingered as she hugged her bunny plushie and started to walk away.

Evan, with a thick face, declared,

"If you don't say no, I'll take it as a yes. Let's exchange contact info. I know lots of fun and tasty places. When you're free, your big brother will take you out! What's your phone number?"

He genuinely liked this little sister before him, truly wanting a sister and especially fond of Blossom.

He had never seen anyone so cute and charming!

Everything about her matched his ideal aesthetic!

She even resembled his mom, which had to be fate!

Blossom blinked, not fully getting it,

"My daddy said not to give my contact info to strangers. If you want to reach me, you have to go through my daddy first."

Evan immediately responded, "No problem! I'll start with your daddy."
