Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 242

Elysia was on edge, worried that Elijah's temper might flare up and he'd lose control. Quickly, she crouched down, placing her hands on his shoulders to calm him.

"Elijah, don't bother with him. Not everyone has manners. Getting mad at someone like that is just making things hard on yourself. It's not worth it."

Elijah didn't say a word but started walking towards their apartment building. Elysia hurried after him.

They had barely reached the entrance when that boy suddenly appeared again, zooming towards them on his skateboard with a deliberate look of mischief!

By the time Elysia snapped back to reality, the boy was already too close to avoid.

Just as the collision seemed inevitable, Elijah ran over and knocked the boy down, tumbling to the ground himself in the process.

"Elijah!" Elysia was horrified, rushing over to help him up.

Tarquin and Lowell were also taken aback, rushing over quickly.

"Did you get hurt anywhere?" Tarquin asked, full of concern.

Ignoring them, Elijah stood up and glared coldly at the boy still lying on the ground.

The boy, either from pain or fear, started crying loudly. His cries attracted an elderly lady in her sixties, who began shouting from a distance, "Oh dear, what's happened? Has someone been bullying you? What did you do to my grandson? If you've hurt him, I'll have your heads…"

Elysia frowned. No wonder the kid was such a brat; he had this kind of grandmother.

A rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

"Lowell, handle this!" Tarquin clearly didn't want to argue with these people and carried Elijah upstairs.

"Ms. Thorne, you go with Elijah. I'll handle this," Lowell told Elysia.

"This isn't Elijah's fault. It was him…"

"I know, we saw everything. You go upstairs."
