Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 863

"So, do you wanna swap digits first? Just in case we lose touch," Evan suggested, eyes sparkling with the thrill of a new bond forming.

The girl, with a bounce in her step, recited Keith's number, and Evan, bubbling with excitement, promptly saved it in his phone.

With the contact info exchanged, Evan couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"

"Baby Garcia."

"Baby?" Evan paused, feeling a vague sense of familiarity with the name but couldn't place where he'd heard it before. His mind was too caught up in the excitement of the moment, all his attention fixed on the little girl in front of him.

"And where do you live?" Evan's curiosity got the best of him.

"I came from far away to see my daddy. He lives in a place called Future Community," the little girl answered sweetly, her innocence shining through.

"Future Community? No way, I live there too! What building does your dad live in?" Evan's surprise was genuine. It felt like fate was playing its hand, bringing them together.

"I'm not sure. I need to find it. Gotta go now, my daddy misses me a lot. I wanna surprise him. If you need me, call my daddy first, okay?"

"Sure, sure, go ahead!" While Evan was reluctant to see her leave, he knew better than to hold her back.

As the little girl disappeared from his sight, Evan still found himself staring in the direction she had gone. Such an adorable little girl, she had quickly found a place in his heart.

Suddenly, the sound of police sirens snapped Evan out of his daze. Not wanting to waste any more time, especially with the police arriving and Blake having nowhere to run, Evan decided to leave.

On his way to Fuyah Gardens, Evan couldn't resist sharing the news with his buddies in their group chat.

Evan nodded, "Absolutely. I asked around."

Elijah's face turned serious, "Something's wrong then. I've noticed Mr. Lowell acting strange too. He seems to be forcing a smile whenever he's with us, but looks worried when he thinks we're not looking."

The realization that their parents' unusual behavior might be linked to a more significant issue dawned on them. With two top-tier hackers in the family, it didn't take long for them to find out their parents were in Spirit Village.

Elliot immediately called Tarquin, "What's going on? You and Mom are in Spirit Village, but why lie about it? What happened?"

After Tarquin reluctantly revealed the truth about the kidnapping, the kids were left in shock, quickly ending the call to video chat with Elysia.

The moment they saw Elysia safe on the screen, all four kids couldn't hold back their emotions any longer.
