Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1145

At dinner, Elysia noticed that Emmett was unusually downcast.

The little guy barely touched his food, just sipping on some chicken soup.

It pained Elysia to see him like this.

Lately, a lot had happened around Emmett. Even though he was young, these events were taking a toll on him.

If it weren't for Cecil cozying up to the press and leaking those stories, even sharing Emmett's photos.

She would have handled it privately, making sure Emmett never found out.

It wasn't something to be proud of. Knowing would only make the child sad.

Elysia frowned internally, cursing Cecil for his actions!

He was nowhere near fit to be Emmett's father!

After dinner, Elysia found an excuse to take Emmett downstairs alone.

Mother and son sat on a bench in the garden, stargazing.

After a bit of small talk, Elysia asked,

"Emmett, you're troubled about something, aren't you?"

Emmett turned to look at Elysia, his long eyelashes fluttering.

Elysia smiled tenderly, stroking his hair with immense gentleness,

"Emmett, you've said before that mommy can share her worries with you, so if you have any worries, you can share them with mommy too. We're mother and son, but we're also best friends, right?"

The little guy nodded, his eyes reddening before he even spoke.

Elysia immediately pulled him into a hug,

"Is something making you sad, Emmett?"

As soon as his mom mentioned it, Emmett's tears started flowing, sobbing uncontrollably.
