Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1509

The video call lasted for over half an hour, and Evan only reluctantly hung up when Elysia called him home for dinner, promising to see them again tomorrow.

As soon as the call ended, Dane immediately asked Lowell, "Was that a real snake?"

Lowell nodded with a smile. "Yes, it was."

Dane was shocked. "It's such a tiny snake. Why would it scare Jove?"

"White isn't an ordinary little snake," Lowell said. "It's highly venomous."

Dane frowned. "Why does Evan have such a dangerous pet?"

Lowell smiled back. "Evan saved White's life, and White has saved Evan's. They have a life-and-death bond, and their relationship is very strong, just like you and Jove."

"Isn't Evan only five?" Dane asked. "How is he so skilled?"

"He's been trained by the best," Lowell said. "Plus, Evan is naturally gifted, so he's very capable."

"...My brother is two years older than Evan, but he's not nearly as skilled."

"You can't compare them," Lowell said quickly. "Evan is a special case. Forget Diaz, even I'm no match for him."

Dane was stunned. "!"

Lowell just smiled. "Our Evan is truly incredible, but he's also a very sweet and well-behaved kid. When you get a chance to meet, he can teach Diaz a few moves."

Dane was dazed for a moment, then something clicked. His eyes filled with suspicion. "If he's that powerful, why would his father come here to learn martial arts from Sutton?"

Lowell watched Wyatt, frowning slightly. The man's methodical way of herding the sheep didn't look like the work of someone who had completely lost his mind. But that alone wasn't enough to prove he wasn't one.

Lowell glanced at the sky, and a plan formed in his mind. While they were busy, he quietly made his way toward the crazy guy's hut.

Wyatt had been watching him. When he saw Lowell sneaking toward his home, he frowned. Seeing Lowell enter without a word, he grew suspicious. When Lowell didn't come out after several minutes, he became uneasy.

A moment later, Wyatt called out to Dane. "Dane, I need to relieve myself."

Dane, on the other side of the flock, called back, "Go ahead! I've got this!"

Wyatt nodded and headed for his hut.

Inside, Lowell was rummaging through the simple belongings. When he sensed someone approaching outside, his eyes narrowed.
