Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 554

"Mom, please sign here. I've checked it for you, and the settlement document is all good."

"Alright!" With a flourish, Elysia signed her name.

The Bradfords: "..." Their anxiety turned into utter despair!

Elliot chuckled as he neatly filed away the settlement document. "Congrats, Mom. You've finally made it; you're a wealthy woman now."

The million dollars from Tarquin and that unlimited credit card were nothing.

But this 2% shareholding turned Elysia into a bona fide wealthy woman!

Elysia thought Elliot was referring to the million-dollar medical bill and immediately whispered, "Let's keep it low-key."

Her eyes curved with joy, her smile almost reaching her ears. She was clearly overjoyed.

In the oddly tense atmosphere of the dining room, she was undoubtedly the happiest.

Only their family of six was joyful, while the rest looked like they had lost all hope!

"Let's eat," Gideon said with a dark face, pulling everyone's attention to the Christmas dinner.

He couldn't bear to think about the shares anymore; it made his blood pressure soar!

Servants began bringing in the dishes one after another. Gideon shot Tarquin a glare and then focused on Elijah.

He let out a cold huff and signaled to his confidant, who understood and left the room.

The Bradford family's Christmas dinner was extravagant, with ingredients so fine and dishes prepared by top chefs.

They had Lobster Bisque, Turducken, Prime Rib, Shrimp Scampi, Clam Chowder, a Seafood Medley, Caesar Salad, and Cornbread.

Not to mention authentic dishes like Southern Fried Chicken, Tex-Mex Stir Fry, Honey Glazed Ham with Papaya, and more.

Elysia, Evan, and Emmett were practically drooling.

They were the little foodies of their family.

Once all the dishes were on the table, Gideon, feeling deflated, rushed through a couple of blessing words and then they began their meal.

Due to his sour mood, many formalities were skipped.

Elysia picked up her fork and first served Emmett some Prime Rib, then got Evan some Shrimp Scampi.

Next, she served Elijah and Elliot some Papaya Chicken and Tofu Casserole.
