Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1513

"He told me I absolutely had to deliver it to Dilan in person!"

"He also gave me a lot of money and warned me to leave Alerasia and never go back, saying it was very dangerous there!"

"He also instructed me not to tell anyone I knew him, and especially not to mention I was bringing something back for him!"

"He said if he had the chance, he would come back to get it from Dilan himself. If he didn't come, his son would!"

"He said that no one could take it except you or him!"

"I didn't know what it was, but he said it was more important than his life, so of course, I swore to protect it with my own!"

"Just as Mr. Bradford instructed, I went to my boss that same day, used the excuse of being homesick, and went through the formal resignation process."

"Then I took a ship across the ocean. The journey took nearly a month to get back to Border City! We even ran into pirates. I had to give them all the money Mr. Bradford gave me just to get away with my life."

"After I got back, I took the item to Dilan that very night, handed it over, and repeated everything Mr. Bradford had told me."

"Dilan and Mr. Bradford were very close. The moment he heard it was something more important than Mr. Bradford's life, he took it extremely seriously."

"He guarded that item constantly. It was only on his deathbed that he called me over and told me where it was hidden. He knew I had been faking my madness..."

"He passed the task on to me. He hoped I could take his place and continue to guard it for Mr. Bradford. I promised him I would!"

"I pretended to be crazy to protect myself, and to protect Dilan."

"...Over twenty years ago, not long after I returned from abroad, I suddenly got an overseas call. It was from my old boss, the restaurant owner in Alerasia."

"He asked me again why I had suddenly returned home, and also asked if I knew a Kendrick and an Elizabeth Gonzalez."
