Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 237

“What on earth is going on?” Blossom was equally baffled.

Elysia, putting her phone down, was too embarrassed to mention the kiss with that man, so she simply said,

“He came to talk to me about Elijah, and then you guys almost walked in on us.”

Blossom’s eyes widened. “No wonder you were so flustered! The daycare had a sudden closure today, and I forgot to tell you before I came back! And these gifts, they’re from him?”

“Yeah.”

“King crab from Alaska, a giant lobster from Maine, and such a huge sea cucumber… My God, didn’t you say he was bankrupt? Where did he get the money to buy these expensive gifts? They must’ve cost a fortune!”

Elysia was taken aback as she asked, “Are they that expensive?”

“Yeah!”

“He must be really worried I’d stop looking after Elijah, so he went all out!”

“Are you still planning to take care of Elijah? Aren’t you afraid of retaliation?”

“I am, but I can’t just abandon him. We’ll take it one step at a time, starting with getting him the medical care he needs.”

Elysia, looking at the seafood, took ‘eep breath and rolled up her sleeves.

“Seafood feast tonight!”

Normally, she would’ve hesitated to accept such lavish gifts, but today was different. She was upset! After all he did, why not enjoy some seafood on him? This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

It’s only right!

Not to enjoy it would be a loss!

Both the king crab and the giant lobster were fresh, a sight neither Elysia nor Blossom had ever seen before.

The kids were thrilled, playing and searching for recipes online.

The seafood was delicious, and the cooking process was filled with joy.

After the meal, Elysia suggested a trip to the mall.

First, to make the most of the kids‘ day off and take them out for some fun.

Second, she wanted to buy some gifts for Elijah. It was their first official meeting, and she didn’t want to show up empty–handed.

Plus, she hoped the gifts would help her learn more about Elijah’s preferences.

At the mall, Elysia let the kids pick out their favorite toys.

With each child having different tastes and personalities, she decided to buy an extra set of whatever they chose. The extra set was for Elijah, allowing him to choose and thus revealing his preferences and

character.

If he chose the toy Elliot liked, it might mean he shared similar traits with Elliot.

Should he prefer Evan or Emmett’s toys, it would suggest he had more in common with them.

While the kids were busy picking toys, Blossom suddenly exclaimed, “Sarah?”

Elysia followed her gaze and indeed spotted a familiar face!

Zane’s cousin.

Blossom whispered, “Didn’t you say Sarah had a miscarriage? Then who is she buying all those baby clothes and socks for?”

Watching her pick out baby clothes with such care and kindness, Elysia frowned slightly.

“She seems a bit off.”

Right after Elysia spoke, Sarah looked up and saw her

It was as if she was looking at her worst enemy! Overwhelmed with emotion, she started gasping for air, struggling to breathe, which alarmed…e store clerk who quickly offered to call a doctor.

“Mommy, can I get this?” Evan, having chosen his toy, ran over to ask Elysia.

Sarah’s gaze immediately shifted from Elysia to Evan. That fierce look, it was like something out of a thriller!

Elysia instinctively pulled Evan close and watched Sarah warily.

After a few tense seconds, Sarah, still frowning, shot Elysia a venomous look and left. Elysia’s heart was racing. She entrusted the kids to Blossom and hurried after Sarah.
