Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 634

After all, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett all had a great deal of respect and affection for Keith.

Elijah nervously glanced at Elliot, terrified that the fragile goodwill his dad had worked so hard to build in Elliot's heart might crumble.

Tarquin knew exactly what was making Elijah anxious, but he didn’t expect Elliot to take his word for it. He spoke up to put Elliot on guard against Keith!

Elliot was sharp and cautious, especially when it came to matters involving Elysia. He would be extra vigilant. Whether he believed Tarquin or not, he’d be careful around Keith after hearing him out. Tarquin couldn’t be there to watch over them around the clock. If the kids were mentally prepared, they could better protect themselves and Elysia when he wasn’t around.

That was the whole reason he suggested they go downstairs for ice cream! Since they couldn’t shake off Keith for the time being and hadn’t caught him red-handed in anything shady, the best they could do was stay alert and minimize any chance Keith had to stir trouble!

As for whether Elliot might misunderstand his intentions, that was a minor concern compared to the safety of the kids and Elysia.

Elliot frowned, pondering Tarquin’s silence before asking, “After Keith turned off the listening device, what exactly did he say?”

Tarquin scowled, “He made some disrespectful remarks about Elysia.”

“Disrespectful... about my mom?”

“Yes.”

Elliot’s brow furrowed deeper. “What did he say?”

“You’re too young; it’s not appropriate for you to hear. But I’m not lying to you, Keith is bad news!”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Elliot then said, “I’ve done my own checking on Keith before. He seemed okay.”
