Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1169

That evening, Elysia brought Caroline back to Number One Mansion. Caroline only had one daughter, Winona, and now that Winona was in trouble, Ridley was too busy playing house with that "illegitimate daughter" to be there for her. Elysia couldn't bear the thought of Caroline being alone in that house under Zane's watchful eye.

Bringing her to Number One Mansion meant she had company and could speak freely without the fear of being overheard.

As soon as they got home, Elysia reassured her, “Caroline, you don’t have to worry about Zane spying on you here. In my house, you can say whatever you want, and he won’t be able to hear a thing.”

Tears welled up in Caroline’s eyes, “Thank you, Elysia. Thank you so much.”

“Please, there’s no need to thank me. Winona is like a sister to me, and her family is my family. Consider this place your home, truly.”

Caroline, overwhelmed with emotion, hugged Elysia tightly, sobbing, “I regret it so much. I should never have let Winona marry that beast Zane!”

“If I'd known how cruel he was, I would never have let him into the Newsom family! I’m so regretful, so regretful…”

Finally, she could let out all the words she had been holding inside. Elysia understood her pain, holding Caroline like a daughter comforting her mother, gently patting her back.

Elysia was determined to help Caroline because Winona had always been so good to her.

Once Caroline had let it all out, Elysia said, “Good things happen to good people, and bad things catch up with bad ones. It may take time, but justice will be served.”

“Winona is a good person, and she will come back safe. Zane is not, and his time will come.”

Elliot and Evan quickly joined in to comfort Caroline as well, “Mrs. Newsom, don’t cry. Winona will definitely come back.”

“Please take care of yourself, Mrs. Newsom. You need to stay healthy and strong for Winona’s return.”

Caroline looked at the two youngsters fondly, “Such good kids, really good kids!”
