Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1146

Emmett clearly didn’t inherit Cecil's wickedness.

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Emmett relaxed significantly and asked, “Then... why would Dad want to hurt Mom? Aren’t spouses supposed to be loving?”

Elysia replied honestly, “Not every couple in this world lives in harmony.”

Emmett pressed on, “Would Dad ever hurt Mom?”

Elysia laughed at his question, “Of course not, honey. Dad treats Mom very well.”

Emmett sighed in relief, seeming to find solace in her words.

He was saddened by Claire’s death, especially learning that she was killed by her own husband, which made him worry for Elysia.

Innocent as Emmett. Kind as Emmett. Heartwarming as Emmett.

“Mom, will my sister get better?”

Elysia sighed quietly, “We hope she will, but if things don’t go as planned, we need to accept it calmly. Life has its ups and downs.”

“But your sister would want you to be happy, Emmett. If you’re happy, she’ll be happy too. Can you be a cheerful little guy for her?”

“Yeah!”

Elysia smiled, ruffling Emmett’s hair again, “Feeling better now?”

“Yeah.”

“Hungry?”

“Yeah.”

“How about we go back and I make you some late-night snacks?”

“Yeah!”

Having felt better, the little guy realized he was hungry. Elysia’s mood lifted with her son’s spirits, and she carried him back to their room upstairs.

Tarquin and the other kids were still awake, looking anxious as they returned.
