Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1247

Jindale City was Tarquin’s turf—if he wanted to make someone’s life difficult, it was never a problem.

But this time, things were tricky. The person he wanted to deal with had a complicated relationship with Evan. There was no good way to go after them directly.

Tarquin and Evan’s mentor had a history. Sure, that made them enemies in theory. But at the same time, Tarquin had always looked out for Evan…

The little guy was frowning, clearly troubled. After a moment, he blurted out, “I’m gonna talk to him myself!”

No sooner had he finished the sentence than he was climbing out the window again.

Sneaking out the back made it a straight shot up the hill behind the house—much easier.

Tarquin didn’t stop him. This was between his son and the oddball. As a father, he wouldn’t make Evan’s choices for him.

He’d just be there in the background, waiting. When his son needed him, he’d step in—no sooner, no later.

...

On the Hill.

The man waiting there was a mountain of muscle, face crisscrossed with scars. He squinted as Evan appeared again, giving him a slow once-over. “Yeah?”

Evan marched right up, frowning. “What’s the deal between you and my mentor?”

The big man’s brow furrowed. “None of your business, kid.”

Evan’s voice shot up, “Of course it’s my business! If you’re my mentor’s enemy, you’re my enemy too!”

“…I’m your mentor too, you know.”

“I never agreed to that!”

The man’s face darkened—he was annoyed now.

Evan felt a pang of guilt. He hadn’t exactly treated him as a mentor, but after all this time together, he had grown attached.

If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t have come to talk things out—he’d have just set a trap and kept the guy stuck in Jindale City for good.

Evan balled his little hands into fists. “I’m going to visit my mentor soon. If you can’t promise me you’re not up to anything, I’m not taking you with me!”

The big guy’s eyes widened in shock. “You’re going to see him?!”

“Yeah!”

He was flustered. “When?!”

“…First, you tell me: what’s really going on between you and my mentor?”

He pressed his lips together. “When I see him, I’ll tell you everything.”
