Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 869

"Okay!" The little girl nodded obediently.

Evan Emmett and Elijah let out a silent sigh of relief. Their hearts, which had been suspended in worry, finally settled. They were genuinely concerned that their precious little sister wouldn't want to come with them. The thought of forcibly taking her was unbearable; they didn't want to scare her. So, if she had refused, they would have been at a complete loss.

Both Evan Emmett and Elijah turned their admiring gazes towards Elliot. Indeed, Elliot, the eldest, managed things far more smoothly than they ever could!

When they were taking their little sister away, they even covered her eyes until they were well away from the Keith residence, only then did they let go. The living room had been the scene of a violent struggle, with blood spilled - they didn't want to frighten her.

Before leaving, Evan thought of something and asked Elliot to take their sister downstairs first while he went back inside the Keith house.

Tarquin's bodyguards had already subdued both parties involved in the altercation.

Seeing Evan return, everyone grew anxious. What was this little tyrant up to now?!

Evan glanced at them and instructed his own people, "Just detain Keith's group for now, and treat them fairly. Get a doctor to look at their injuries."

The little sister's bodyguards were stunned yet touched by this generous act.

Evan's instructions weren't born out of overflowing kindness but respect for their attitude towards his sister. Regardless of their reasons, their vow to protect her at all costs was genuine. For Evan, that alone merited a degree of leniency.

After all, they were protecting Evan's sister!

…

By the time Evan made it downstairs, his sister and Elliot were waiting for him in the car.

He hurried over, but suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. A moment later, he dashed off towards something that caught his eye. The bodyguards escorting them quickly followed.

Realizing something was amiss, Elliot stepped out of the car.
