Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 885

"I'll take care of the situation with Keith and the mysterious stranger. Just focus on your sister; she's just returned and could really use your company," he spoke, his tone veiling a request more than an order.

At this, the triplets exchanged a glance, their eyes softened with sympathy for him.

They had all been excited to reunite with the family gem, who recognized everyone - her mom, her brothers - but mistook him for Mr. Handsome.

To have her see Keith as 'Dad' instead of him was a blow, cutting deep.

...

Father and sons had spent a long morning in the study, emerging only as noon approached.

Immediately, the triplets scampered off to find their baby sister.

The tension surrounding Keith and the mysterious issues paled in comparison to their sister's return. She needed their attention most.

Elysia and Emmett were already with her in the bedroom, surrounding her with toys and laughter.

Her face lit up at the sight of her brothers, her voice sugary sweet as she called out, "Elliot, Evan, Elijah."

Their smiles were instantaneous, "What's our little princess up to?"

"Building blocks, castles," she responded, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Emmett was in the midst of constructing a castle for her.

Not seeing Keith around, she asked curiously, "Where's Daddy?"

The question hung heavily in the air, the brothers exchanging uneasy glances, uncertain how to respond.

Elysia's lips moved slightly before she said, "Let's play a bit more, sweetheart. Mommy will go check."
