Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 612

Keith nodded again.

"So, before your mom fell for him, you didn't want to acknowledge him?"

"Yeah."

"I get it now. No wonder you were so startled when you saw me. What about him? Does he like your mom now?"

"He does."

Keith was surprised, "He likes her even without knowing the truth?"

"Yeah, he said it himself."

"Is it just a physical attraction, or does he genuinely like her from the bottom of his heart? Or is it because of certain circumstances that he feels compelled to like her?"

Elliot was confused, "Isn't liking just liking? Is there a difference in how you like someone?"

Keith hesitated for a moment, then lifted his hand to ruffle Elliot's hair.

"There are many kinds of liking. You're still young. You'll understand when you grow up."

Changing the subject, he asked,

"What about you? Do you want them to be together or not?"

Elliot responded, "We'll follow our mom's lead. If he likes her and she likes him, then of course we want them to be together."

"I understand. Don't worry, I won't spill your secret. I'll cover for you."

Hearing this, the kids finally relaxed and collectively thanked him, "Thanks, Keith!"

Keith smiled, "You're welcome."

He then seemed to remember something, his expression turning to one of disbelief,

"The guy who's been bugging me about buying a house recently, that wouldn't happen to be him, would it?"
