Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 510

He was decked out in a black face mask, sporting dark casual pants and a mid-length hooded down jacket, hands buried in his pockets, sauntering towards the troublemaker with an air of nonchalance. Despite his obscured face, his clean attire and neatly trimmed hair spoke volumes of his meticulous nature.

As the elevator doors slid open at the top floor, she was greeted by the sight of Blossom and three strangers of similar age, two women and a man, seemingly waiting for the elevator. Elysia, surprised, exclaimed, "Blossom?"
