Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 

ButI still don’t get it. Why does he have that delusion? Is that like, narcissism or something? Mom isn’t even trying to get his attention, and yet he acts like she’s been following him around,Evan mumbled

Elliot replied, It’s kind of narcissism but not exactly. Rich folks tend to overthink things way more than the average Joe.” 

Why’s that?” 

The richer you are, the more danger surrounds you, and the more enemies you have, which makes you super sensitive.” 

How do you know all this?” 

Elliot pursed his lips and said, Because, I happen to be one of those rich people.” 

Evan’s lips twitched. So, are you always paranoid, thinking someone’s out to get you?” 

Not really.” 

Huh?” 

Because I keep a low profile. Other than you and Emmett, no one knows I’m loaded, not even Mom 

babe in the So, no one’s out to get me. To the rest of the 

woods.” 

world, I’m just

Evan paused. No wonder Mom always says to keep a low profile. There’s wisdom in 

that.” 

Wealth under wraps is another way to stay lowkey

Elliot continued, Mom may not be a genius, but she’s a good and honest person. Her advice is solid, and we should listen to her.” 

Yeah, yeah, we should always listen to Mom. So, what’s the game plan?” 

Elliot let out a sigh and said, First, we clear up Tarquin’s misunderstanding so he stops pestering Mom and giving her grief. Then we dig into why he won’t grant her a divorce. Once we figure that out, we can help Mom.” 

Evan grumbled, Can’t we just strongarm him into divorcing Mom?” 

That was still his goto solution brute force

We could, but it’s not the best move. Don’t forget, Mom hasn’t mentioned the past to us, nor has she told us her real reason for coming back. If we push Tarquin, we might rip 

open 

Mom’s old wounds and throw her back into the media frenzy. It’s best to avoid that until we have all the facts.”

Alright, so how do we clear up Tarquin’s misunderstanding?” 

Elliot furrowed his brow, looking all grownup, Let me think on that.” 

Meanwhile, next door

Elysia was blissfully unaware that her sons were turning her world upside down

She was handing Blossom her nightgown after her shower. It was a tad snug, showing off 

Blossom’s curves
