Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1716

“Then you’re at a huge loss. You’re losing out on a great son!”

Tarquin was speechless.

Evan tried to smooth things over.

“I know Dad loves me. He would never stay mad at me, and he definitely wouldn’t tell Mom! I’m going upstairs to take a shower.”

The little guy bolted as soon as he finished speaking. Tarquin watched him go, a helpless look on his face.

“I’m only letting you off the hook this once. Don’t let it happen again!”

Evan flashed him a brilliant smile. “Okay!”

Tarquin’s eyes filled with affection as he gave a resigned smile.

Upstairs, Elliot and Elijah rushed over to Evan as soon as they saw him.

“Are you okay?”

“You’re not hurt, are you?”

Evan shook his head.

“No. I saw Dad as soon as I came in, and it scared me. I thought he was going to beat me up.”

“We acted without telling him first, so Dad was definitely not happy,” Elliot said. “He was mainly worried something would happen to you.”

“I know. Dad loves me just as much as Mom does!” Evan said, then added excitedly, “Bro, your plan was amazing. That place is in total chaos now, they’re at each other’s throats! And I saw that we managed to rescue a lot of our countrymen!”

Evan’s initial idea was to rush in, cause some destruction, and rescue some of their people himself.

But Elliot disagreed.

Elliot felt that a direct confrontation was too risky. It was better to let them fight amongst themselves.

That way, they could keep Evan safe while rescuing even more of their countrymen.

Besides, with them tearing each other apart, their entire operation would suffer a heavy blow.

Elijah added excitedly, “Not only did we rescue a lot of our people, but we also got a huge sum of money back! We really made them bleed!”

Elliot gave all the money to Zhinora’s rescue team. Part of it was used to expand the team, and the other part was used to help poor families find their loved ones for free.

The situation in Mariana Land was complicated. Wiping them out in one go was impossible.

They could only offer what help they could.
