Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 827

In the countryside where the Tylers lived, not having kids after marriage was a topic of ridicule.

Back in the day, three years into their marriage, Aiden's folks hadn't had a child. This became fodder for gossip among some spiteful neighbors who whispered that the couple must have committed sins in their past lives, hence their barrenness.

Aiden’s father, known for his temper, blamed his wife for their childlessness, leading to domestic disputes that were far from rare in their household.

Eventually, the couple vanished, rumored to have gone to the city in search of medical help.

Years later, they returned, their pride and joy Aiden in tow. They paraded him around like a trophy, not just because they'd finally had a child, but a boy at that—and a strikingly handsome one, no less. In their poverty-stricken community where sons were prized over daughters, Aiden was a slap in the face to their detractors.

But then, it became apparent that Aiden couldn't speak. The same folks who'd been silenced by his birth now jeered, calling him defective despite his good looks.
