Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 522

Elliot and Elijah both scrunched up their brows in worry.

Emmett felt a shiver of fear.

Evan was fuming, "Why should they take Elijah away? They don't even like him. Mom, don't worry, I've got this. I won't let them take Elijah. I'm going to chase them away right now!"

Elysia quickly grabbed Evan, "No way! Going out there would just blow your cover."

"I'll wear a mask."

"That's not going to cut it, either!"

What if the mask falls off? It's way too risky!

Elysia said, "Mom's going to handle this. Listen to me, I'm going to talk to them, and no matter what happens, none of you are stepping outside! Anyone who disobeys will really make mom mad. Like, really mad!"

Elliot was skeptical. With mom's... let's say 'unique' problem-solving skills, could she really come up with a good plan?

"Mom, at least give us a hint about your plan."

Before Elliot could finish, a loud, aggressive knocking sound came from the door.

Elysia frowned, "No time to explain now! Lock the door behind me, Emmett, keep working on your brother's disguise."

She then turned to Elijah, crouched to his level, "Don't be scared, Elijah. Mom will never hand you over to them!"

After planting a firm kiss on Elijah's forehead, she turned and left.

Make sure the kids lock the door!

She double-checked it to ensure it couldn't be opened from the outside before she could relax.

Cranking up the central heating to make the house cozy, she then hurried to the front door, "I'm coming, I'm coming."
