Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 538

Elysia, though puzzled, quietly followed his lead and mimicked his actions. Elijah, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett each placed incense in Kendrick’s holder. Suddenly, the candle in front of Kendrick’s photograph flickered loudly, and the flame shot up high.

Evan, amazed, asked, “Hey, is Grandpa Kendrick really happy?”

Elliot confirmed, “The higher the flame, the happier he must be.”

Emmett was thrilled, “Grandpa Kendrick likes us.”

Elijah looked content, “I just told Grandpa about his daughter-in-law and grandkids.”

Tarquin: “…”

Elysia: “…”

The Bradford family collectively scowled, “…”

In the quiet chapel, only the voices of the youngsters echoed, unusually loud. Elysia felt awkward and gestured for them to be quiet.

Elijah smiled gently, “Mom, no need to be shy, Grandpa likes you.”

Hearing this, Elysia’s embarrassment grew, her lips twitching: Where’s the ground when you need it to swallow you up?

This was a chapel, and she couldn’t argue with the children; she could only shake her head at Elijah, signaling him to keep quiet.

Tarquin wasn’t bothered. After all, his dad wasn’t foolish. If he had really brought a daughter-in-law to see him, he would have mentioned it himself. Elijah’s words were just child’s babble. But to the rest of the Bradford family, Elijah’s words, coupled with his smile, made them even more uneasy!
