Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 838

Keith gazed out at the horizon, murmuring to himself, "What on earth did the Bradfords do to me..."

His eyes were rimmed red, his face etched with a sense of profound loss.

It was as if his heart was crammed full of sorrow, fragile enough to shatter at the slightest touch.

Elysia wasn't one to pry into others' secrets, but this was something she felt compelled to understand.

Only by unraveling the whole story could they find a way to address the issue at hand.

After a moment of silence, Keith shared his story with her.

A story not too long, but certainly heart-wrenching!

Elysia was stunned, struggling to grasp the full impact of his words.

Keith asked her, "So, do you think I should hate the Bradfords?"

Elysia didn't respond, but her mind was made up: Yes, hate them!

Those Bradfords, worthless as dirt, how could they...

Indeed, they deserved nothing less than death!

Keith, as if he could read her thoughts, cracked a smile.

He turned away, lost in thought for a while.

When he looked back at her, the sorrow and brokenness in his eyes were gone, replaced by the calm and collected Keith once more.

He poured her a cup of hot tea, offering it with a gentle hand.

Elysia, with furrowed brows and a complex expression, wanted to offer some comfort but found herself at a loss for words.

She had hoped to find a breakthrough to persuade him, yet now she found herself unable to speak.

Such an atrocious act, unbearable for anyone to endure!

She wasn't a saint; she was a flesh-and-blood human being, full of emotions and desires. While she could refrain from encouraging Keith to seek revenge, she couldn't bring herself to urge him to let go of his hatred.

If she had been in his shoes, she probably would have been blinded by vengeance as well!
