Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 868

The four little ones chimed in unison, "Yeah, we're siblings!"

The little one, puzzled, said, "But, Daddy never told me I had brothers."

Evan, upon hearing this, got riled up, "He didn't tell you because..."

Elliot gently pulled Evan back, calming him down, and smiled at the little one, explaining, "That's because he wanted to surprise you."

The little one adored Keith, even calling him Daddy. To speak ill of Keith would only push the little one further away from them.

Upon hearing the word "surprise," the little one's eyes blinked in wonder, "A surprise?"

"Yep! If you don't believe me, I can call him right now and let him tell you himself."

Elliot, in front of the little one, indeed made a call to Keith.

"Keith, it's Elliot. I'm at your place, with the little one."

Keith, rushing back home, was shocked, "You've met the little one?!"

Elliot hummed in response, a stark contrast to Keith's frantic tone, much calmer,

"Not just us. There were also a bunch of thugs trying to snatch the little one. It's not safe here. I want to take the little one home, but she doesn't recognize us. Maybe you should talk to her."

Elliot handed the smartwatch to the little one, who eagerly reached out with her chubby hands.

Holding the smartwatch, she spoke in a tender voice, "Daddy?"

Keith's voice was urgent, "Yes, Daddy! Little one, are you okay?"

Hearing Keith's voice, the little one's lip quivered, and she burst into tears,

"Daddy, where did you go? I came looking for you, but you weren't home, and there were bad people here. I'm scared..."

Her crying was intense, like a child pouring out her grievances to her parents.

The four siblings frowned, their hearts twisting in concern!
