Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 452

Blossom bent over and playfully pinched Elijah’s cheek, greeting him warmly, “Hey there, little Elijah, how’s it going?”

Elijah was quite fond of Blossom. Even when she pinched his cheek, he didn’t get mad. Instead, he blushed and responded, “Hi Blossom.”

Blossom chuckled at his reaction. She adored Elijah's shy demeanor. His blushing face reminded her of a cool kid at school getting flustered by a flirt, giving her a sense of accomplishment.

Elysia asked her, “Are you coming home with us now, or are you going to continue feeding the stray cats downstairs?”

She knew Blossom was a cat lover but couldn’t keep one for various reasons. So, she bought tons of cat food and cans, often coming downstairs to feed the strays.

Blossom replied, “Let’s head back together now. I can come down later to feed them.”

Just as they went upstairs, Axel appeared next to the trash can.

Wearing a mask and a baseball cap, he checked the trash bag Blossom had just thrown out and frowned.

Finding a secluded spot, he called Tarquin, “There were dead cats in the trash bag she threw out again today, same as the previous ones. Today, there were two.”

Tarquin, on his way to the office, furrowed his brows, “Are you sure she’s the one who killed them?”

“Not sure, but it’s certain she threw them in the bin, and that those two dead cats were definitely killed by the mystery person.”

Tarquin was skeptical, “If she was the mystery person, Elliot and Evan would have noticed by now.”

“Maybe she’s just good at hiding it.”

“But the mystery person likes Elysia, he even said he wanted to take Elysia home as his wife. It doesn’t sound like Blossom.”

Axel asked, “Should we probe her?”

Tarquin pondered for a moment, “Go ahead and probe, but be subtle. Since she’s linked to those dead cats, there’s definitely something up. Even if she’s not the mystery person, she must have some connection. Try to probe her and quietly investigate her social circle.”
