Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1402

As soon as Tarquin left, Evan sneaked out through the window.

Outside, Scarface—the big guy with a face full of scars—was already waiting for him. The two of them headed off together toward the gym.

Evan looked troubled, like his mind was spinning with questions.

Scarface was just about to ask what was wrong, ready to offer some advice, when Evan blurted out, “Hey, why is Dad always kissing Mom?”

Scarface: “…” How was he supposed to answer that?

He’d never been in love himself and couldn’t really wrap his head around why couples were so attached to each other.

After thinking for a bit, he finally said, “I guess it’s ‘cause he loves her.”

Evan frowned. “So when I grow up, am I gonna be like Dad? Always sticking to my wife and wanting kisses?”

Scarface: “…Not necessarily.”

“Why not? You just said Dad kisses Mom ‘cause he loves her. I’ll definitely love my wife, so I’ll want kisses every day too!”

Scarface replied, “Well, you might not even find a wife.”

Evan’s eyes went wide. “No way! I’m so good-looking. If you and Bernard can’t find wives, that’s just ‘cause you’re ugly. I’m not ugly!”

Scarface: “…” Wow, nothing cuts deeper than a kid you care about!

Was this little rascal even worth it?

Evan suddenly beamed, caught up in his own daydream. “When I grow up, I’m gonna find the prettiest, kindest woman in the world, just like Dad. I’ll spoil her rotten! Ha ha…”

Scarface found himself at a loss for words and started thinking maybe he should have a talk with Tarquin and Elysia.

Couldn’t they keep their lovey-dovey stuff away from the kid?

Tarquin and Elysia would probably protest: “We have no idea when he saw anything!”

Scarface changed the subject. “So, how are we getting in? The gym charges for tickets.”
