Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 894

After searching the village for two days, there was still no sign of Aiden.

The locals all speculated that Aiden was deliberately hiding because he didn't want to leave with them.

During those two days, Ms. Gonzalez was beside herself with worry, not eating or drinking, searching everywhere for Aiden. They even ventured to the wooded hills behind the village, but found not a trace of him, dead or alive!

At one point, while searching for Aiden, Ms. Gonzalez suddenly fainted. Her boyfriend, panicked, scooped her up and ran to the clinic.

When the clinic couldn't help, he rushed Ms. Gonzalez to the city hospital and they never returned to Hill Village after that.

Back then, we had the money and didn't think to keep searching for Aiden, so we just left Hill Village…”

Today, when Elliot called, Tarquin was discussing the Farmjoy Estate case with the police.

Their conversation turned to Keith and then to Hill Village.

The police mentioned they had just arrested a couple from Hill Village for child trafficking.

Tarquin dug a bit deeper and was shocked to discover that this couple was Aiden's adoptive parents.

Years ago, when Elizabeth and Kendrick wanted to adopt Aiden, they had given the couple a substantial amount of money. After spending all that money, the couple resorted back to their criminal ways.

The police had finally caught up with them!

After reading Elliot's message, Tarquin immediately questioned him about that night and even recorded the conversation.

Anyone with a sharp ear could tell there was something off.
