Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 967

So, Elysia was adamant that Evan did nothing wrong by joining his bodyguard in giving Gideon a good thrashing!

No one could guilt-trip her into thinking otherwise just because Gideon was older. Not on her watch!

“Mommy, what’s with the Bradford family calling? Are they looking to cause trouble for you?” Evan asked.

Elysia frowned in concern,

“You don’t worry about this, darling. Daddy and I will handle it. You need to head up, brush your teeth, and get some sleep. No more sneaking out, okay?”

“...Okay.”

Evan obediently went upstairs, and Elysia turned to find Tarquin in the backyard.

Tarquin had just finished a phone call, his voice hoarse,

“I need to make a trip to the hospital. Don’t worry about Evan; I’ve got it covered.”

“I’m coming with you!”

The Bradfords might be a force to reckon with, but even knowing he wouldn’t get hurt, she couldn’t bear the thought of him facing those heartless devils alone!

He may have been alone before, but now he had her, and she wasn’t about to let him face them by himself!

She might not have superpowers, but even a cornered mouse will bite a cat!

Tarquin was reluctant to have her come along, knowing dealing with those people would only lead to frustration.

Elysia insisted, “I’ll feel better being by your side. Please, let me come.”

Unable to resist her, Tarquin agreed to take her along.

As they got into the car, Tarquin received messages from Elliot, Evan, and Elijah.

Elliot: [I’ve got Gideon’s shares now, and he owes me a fortune. He’s broke and in debt up to his eyeballs!]

Elijah: [The top ten trending topics are all exposés on Gideon. His reputation is in tatters; he’s finished!]

Tarquin’s eyes welled up, but he smiled,

“If ghosts do exist in this world, my mom would be so content seeing the life I have now. A wife who loves me, children who adore me—I’m truly happy.”

“Your happiness would make her happy, just like our children’s happiness brings us joy.

When we get a chance, let’s go pay our respects, and then lay mom and dad to rest together. They loved each other so much in life, and now they’re finally reunited. They must be overjoyed.

After a long struggle comes joy, a reunion of spouses, a house full of children and grandchildren. It’s a celebration for our parents, and we should be happy for them too.”

“You’re right, we should celebrate for them!”

Tarquin sniffed hard, his voice firm but his gaze sharpened with resolve.

The one who truly deserved to be miserable was Gideon!

His days of comfort were thoroughly over!
