Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 324

Tarquin stared at Elliot for a few more seconds before asking, "Would you guys be okay with Elijah becoming your mom's adopted son?"

Elliot shot back, "Why wouldn't we be? It would make Elijah happy, it would make Mom happy, and it would make us happy too! If it's something that brings joy to everyone involved, why would we have any objections?"

"...You're not worried about Elijah taking away some of your mom's love for you?"

Elliot rolled his eyes. "Getting another brother is something we'd celebrate, not worry about! You sure have a narrow mind!"

Tarquin was speechless.

Alright, alright, call him childish, call him sick, now call him narrow-minded! No wonder he's one of Elysia's. Must've been raised on bravery and boldness, huh?

"You're not keen on Elijah being my mom's adopted son, are you? Give me one good reason." Elliot narrowed his eyes.

Tarquin replied, clearly annoyed, "Because I don't want to end up with Elysia."

"Oh?"

"Elijah said if he becomes Elysia's son, that means I'd have to be her husband. I've only got eyes for Elijah's mother. I don't like Elysia, so there's no way I could be her husband. That's why I have to refuse Elijah's request!"

"Hah!" Elliot couldn't help but scoff. "Don't worry, my mom isn't into you either. She definitely wouldn't want you as her husband."

Tarquin frowned, about to say something when Elliot cut in sharply, "You're not smart enough for my mom. Not only does she think you're not a match, but I do too!"

Tarquin scowled, "You're saying I'm not smart?"
