Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1123

Blossom knew the value of the card and frowned, feeling a pang of regret.

Calling it pocket money was an understatement; the amount was colossal!

Let's not even start with how much Tarquin had already contributed. Just the other day, Clayton Hawkins and the Patel family had given a substantial sum!

All told, it was over a million!

But Elysia wasn't worried, not because she was now wealthy and had lost her obsession with money.

She believed Emmett's actions were justified.

Putting aside the rights and wrongs, it was indeed Claire who had gone through ten months of pregnancy to bring him into this world.

His life was a gift from Claire.

His way of repaying Claire for the gift of life, that was an act of filial piety.

Her Emmett, he was doing the right thing.

Claire stared at Emmett, speechless, "Emmett..."

Emmett stood in front of her, cautiously begging,

"Could you... could you please not fight with mommy over me? Mommy can't live without me, and I don't want to be away from mommy."

Elysia and Claire were taken aback!

Such innocent words, yet no one expected Emmett to say this to Claire.

Elysia was moved, her eyes filling with tears.

But Claire couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Her own son saying such things was like a knife to her heart.

She cried as if her heart was being torn apart, and Emmett panicked, his little face twisted, not knowing what to do, "I... I..."

He knew he had made her cry.

He wanted to apologize, but he didn't want to take back his words.

The little guy looked nervously at Elysia, "Mommy..."

Elysia, not wanting Claire to upset him further, quickly lifted Emmett into her arms,

"Emmett, why don't you go and chat with your sister for a bit? Mommy needs to talk to her."
