Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 414

\"What on earth are you worried about, Mom? Can you just talk to me?\" Nola pressed.

Aileen snapped out of her reverie. Her daughter was too naive; explaining too much would only confuse her more and possibly mess things up.

\"There's nothing to worry about. But if that person contacts you again, you must tell me immediately, got it?\"

\"…Oh.\"

\"Anyway, you can't just do things on your own anymore. You need to tell me everything from now on. Tomorrow at preschool, you better make sure Elysia's sons like you. That's the only way you'll get close to Elysia.\"

\"I got it, Mom. Just a few brats, I can handle them! Don't worry.\"

\"…\"

Meanwhile, Elysia was blissfully unaware of the scheme Nola and her mother were plotting against her.

The next morning, she woke up to the sight of her son Elijah sleeping beside her, her heart instantly filled with joy.

Turning over, she quietly watched the little guy, her heart brimming with affection.

This was her son, Elysia's son!

How lucky she must be to have found her missing son so smoothly!

And he didn't even blame her!

Smiling, Elysia gently touched his cheek, feeling utterly blissful.

She used to complain about her unfair fate, but now, she was just grateful to the heavens for her wonderful sons.

If this was the universe making up for her past hardships, she truly hit the jackpot!

While the little one was still sleeping, Elysia sneaked a kiss on his forehead, then cheerfully went to make breakfast.

She started by putting oatmeal on the stove, then headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

The toothbrush on the sink looked just the same as yesterday, and she didn’t notice anything amiss, beginning her morning routine.

After freshening up, she dove back into making breakfast.

It was only after breakfast was ready that she realized Tarquin wasn't home.
