Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Elysia looked utterly defeated, her vulnerability tugging at the heartstrings, "I just don't know..."

Blossom frowned. This was a blatant threat and warning!

A message popped up on Elysia's phone from an anonymous sender:

【Last time it was Elijah, this time Elliot, next up are Evan and Emmett. You can't always be lucky to save them. Do you really want to gamble with your children's lives, Elysia? You need to listen to reason, leave him. It's too dangerous for you to be around him.】

The "him" in question was Tarin.

This wasn't advice; it was a downright threat!

Blossom knew Elysia well. Her children were her Achilles' heel, and someone was exploiting this to force her away from Tarin!

No wonder Elysia had been so cold towards Tarin today!

With her children being used to threaten her, how could she dare to continue her relationship with Tarin?

But she loved him so much, and the thought of leaving him was unbearable...

If this was a choice, it was an impossible one!

Blossom felt a pang of sympathy for her friend. She set the phone aside, wrapped her arms around Elysia, and said,

"The problem is this person. Let's go to the police and track him down. Once we do, the kids will be safe, and you won't have to leave Tarin."

Elysia, tears streaming down her face, shook her head,

"Catching one won't end it; he has too many enemies..."

After the car accident a few days ago, she received a message warning her to leave Tarin, but she hadn't wavered.

She loved him, regardless of the dangers that surrounded him.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

But today, she was scared!

She blamed herself, thinking if she hadn't been so lost in love, refusing to leave, Elliot wouldn't have been hurt.

It was because she insisted on being with Tarin that Elliot was in danger!

Elysia felt overwhelmingly guilty, "It's all my fault... I've put Elliot in danger..."

Blossom quickly tried to comfort her,

"You can't think like that! It's clearly the perpetrator's fault, not yours. You're not to blame, and neither is Tarin. The person at fault is the one who harmed Elliot!"

Elysia sobbed, "But if I hadn't been with Tarin, the perpetrator wouldn't have targeted Elliot. He wouldn't have gotten hurt..."

Blossom was anxious, "Elysia, I understand you're upset about Elliot, but you really can't think like that! The fault clearly lies with the person who hurt Elliot. You and Tarin..."

Blossom stopped short.

She wanted to encourage Elysia, but she was at a loss for words when it came to Tarin.

The incident with Elliot wasn't Tarin's fault, but it was indeed triggered by him.

If Elysia hadn't been involved with him, the perpetrator wouldn't have targeted Elliot...

Blossom felt panicked, and she struggled to find the right words to defend Tarin.

All she could do was offer a shoulder for her friend to lean on, to be a listener for her to confide in...

It wasn't until Elysia's crying subsided that she spoke,

"Regardless, Tarin and you aren't to blame. You mustn't jump to conclusions. As for you and Tarin... don't rush to make a decision.

Elysia, personally, I don't think you should break up with him over this. You love him, and leaving him would only bring regret and sorrow. You might end up crying yourself to sleep.

Haven't you always said how a parent's mood can affect their children's development? If you're unhappy, how can you create a cheerful, positive environment for them to grow up in?"

Elysia choked up, "I'm just scared..."

"I get it, I really do. Any single mom would be scared in your shoes."
