Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Tarquin had arranged undercover bodyguards around the trio, and seeing the situation unfold, they quickly followed suit.

Evan chased Keith all the way to the rooftop, his face dark with anger, shouting, "Keith, I've recognized you, stop running! Wherever you go, I'll follow, even into your own house! Do you really want me to confront you in front of our darling?"

Keith remained silent.

Elliot and Elijah caught up and were surprised to see Keith frowning, not expecting him at this place.

Today, Keith had just brought their darling back home. Given Keith's affection for their darling, they had expected him to stay indoors, devotedly keeping their darling company.

"Did you hurt Lucian?” Evan demanded.

Keith didn't respond but glanced at the bodyguards behind the trio and said, "I don't want to get into a fight with you guys, so don't push me."

Evan grew angrier. "What are you thinking? Lucian was also at Hill Village back in the day; he must know a lot. You..."

"Lucian was saved by you, right?" Elliot suddenly interrupted Evan.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Evan glared. "What?!"

Keith remained silent.

Elliot continued, "Lucian is just an ordinary guy. If Keith wanted to harm him, he'd be dead by now, not barely hanging on."

It must have been someone trying to silence Lucian for good, and Keith happened to stumble upon it, saving Lucian in the process.

Before Keith could speak, Elliot added, "Since Keith managed to find Lucian, he must be after the same thing as us, trying to uncover the truth about Hill Village, right? Did you find anything, Keith?"

Keith frowned, "This is adult business; kids shouldn't get involved. It's not good for you. Our darling cares a lot about you guys; I hope you stay safe." Elliot said, “Our darling cares a lot about Keith too, hoping Keith stays safe. Keith should protect himself from the bad guys."

Keith remained silent.

Elliot went on, "Regardless of whether you found out anything from Lucian, the fact that someone tried to assassinate him proves there's something fishy about that night. If it was really Kendrick who took you up the mountain that night, there'd be no need to target Lucian. Killing Lucian is just to prevent you from learning the truth about that night. Why? The answer is obvious; someone wants you to keep misunderstanding Kendrick, to keep hating my dad."

Keith's brows were tightly knit, and he stayed silent, contemplating.

Elliot concluded, "Keith, seeing is not always believing. What you saw that night might not have been Kendrick at all. The incident with Lucian says it all."

If it was indeed Kendrick's doing, there'd be no need to silence Lucian.

The attempt on Lucian's life was clearly because he could prove Kendrick wasn't on the mountain that night.

Keith stared at Elliot for a long while, his lips moving slightly, but no sound came out.

Without a word, he turned and walked towards the safety door.

Evan wanted to stop him, but Elliot held him back, “Let Keith go. It couldn't have been him. Keith's smart; he'll figure something out from this." Though it seemed he was speaking to Evan, his words were meant for Keith.

Keith, fully aware, glanced at Elliot but continued walking without a word.

Evan was frustrated. Although Elliot was guiding Keith towards a conclusion, they still lacked hard evidence. With Lucian's incident, their leads had hit a dead end. So frustrating!

Suddenly, the rooftop safety door swung open.

Tarquin, dressed in a sharp dark suit, appeared before them, blocking Keith's way.
