Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin)
Tarquin was scrolling through his tablet with a determined look. âMake contact now!â he commanded.
Lowell knew Tarquin had been on the hunt for this for a while, and he understood the reason behind it, but âGiven Mr. Ex fondness for the item, he might not be willing to part with it even if we want it.â
âWeâll make him an offer he canât refuse. Let him name his price!â
Hmm, and what about Gideon? If heâs asked Mr. E to find the person who breached our system, and that person is both talented and wealthy, it could spell trouble for us if Gideon gets to him firstâ
Tarquin frowned. Forget him for now Letâs secure this item first!â .
âAlright then.â
Lowell began to reach out to Baby ETâs Support Oneâ.
But despite sending numerous messages, there was no response.
Tarquin was visibly annoyed by this!
Little did he know, Mr. E was actually his eldest son. At the moment, his son was surrounded by a group of little girls, too busy to respond to his messages, his favor.
It was recess, and the girls were showering Elliot with gifts in an attempt to win One girl offered him chocolates, another gave him a pack of marshmallows, and there were those who presented stickers, colored papers, and even Play Doh âElliot, if you accept my gift, youâll have to marry me, okay? A man of his word canât go back on his promise!â
Elliot was baffled. Did I accept? Did I even say anything?
Before he could speak up, another girl chimed in, âElliot canât marry you because he just got my has to be my husband. He can only have one wife, so if he mamies me, he canât marry you!â
âBut I want to marry him too!â
âThen go find Evan or Emmett.â
âNo way, Evan and Emmett already have their crushesâ
marshmallows. If he eats my treat, he Evan and Emmettâs crushes were none other than their beloved mommy. They declared their undying love for her and her alone!
Elliot had said the same, but these girls werenât having any of it âWhat do we do then? We all want to marry Elliot!â
âIâve got an idea. Letâs ask Elliots mom to have more kids just like him, then we wonât have to fight over him.â
âRight, thatâs a great plan.â
So, the girls surrounded Elliot, saying, âElliot, when you go home today, could you talk to your daddy and mommy? Tell them to try harder and have more kids like you. That way, we wonât have to fight over you.â
âLetâs see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine! Nine more, and that should be enough for all of us!â
âWeâre not asking for much. Even if the new kids donât look like you or Evan, resembling Emmett would be fine too.â âElliot, our happiness is in your hands. Please talk to your parents tonight and get them to work on Elliot was exasperated. He wasnât a fan of the constant chatter from the girls.
But his mommy had taught him that a boy must always be a gentleman, especially towards girls, and treat them with respect. With a sigh, Elliot replied. âIâm afraid I have to disappoint you. My daddy and mommy wonât be having any more kids.â
âWhy not?â the girls pressed.
Elliot couldnât tell them his parents were considering divorce. Instead, he said, âBecause my daddyâ¦
heâs not capable anymore.â
âAh? Not capable? Is your daddy sick? Is he dying?â
âNo, heâs not dying anytime soon. But heâs got a condition that means he canât have more kids with my mommyâ
And so, the news that âElliotâs daddy canât have kids anymoreâ spread like wildfire throughout the kindergarten.
Even the kids in the younger classes heard about it!
Some of the girls were particularly emotional. The thought of Elliotâs parents not being able to have more kids, and thus their chances of marrying him dwindling, brought them to tears.
