Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1684

A long time later, Evan finally pulled away from Tarquin’s embrace. He roughly wiped the tears from his face, his small chin lifted in defiance.

“I won’t lose hope! I am Evan Thorne!”

“My mentor, Bernard, was the greatest titan the martial arts world has ever known! My other great-grandparents are all legends!”

“My dad is the smartest and richest man in the world!”

“My brothers and sister are rising stars who will all be amazing!”

“And I have the gentlest, most beautiful, most understanding, and most loving mom in the entire world!”

“So, even if the sky falls, I will never lose hope!”

“Besides, I still have to get revenge for Bernard!”

“I’m going to find the people who killed his master and his master’s wife, the ones who poisoned him, and the ones who bullied Grandpa Walter. I’ll hunt every single one of them down and make sure they rot for what they did to him.”

“I’m also going to restore the honor of the Warner family! I’ll make it the most powerful martial arts family in the world!”

“And I’m going to grow up to be a strong man, to be the pride of Bernard and my mom!”

Tarquin nodded firmly. “That’s right! Our Evan is the best! You’re already Bernard’s pride, and your mom’s and mine!”

...

The father and son stayed in the mountains for several hours. By the time they returned home, it was nearly eleven at night. Baby and Emmett were already asleep, but Elliot and Elijah were still waiting up for Evan. Elysia was also awake, waiting in her room for them.

When she saw Tarquin return alone, she quickly asked, “Where’s Evan?”
