Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Evan snuck out with White long before dinner time at the Hawkins house.

They barely made it out when they bumped into a guy with a face full of scars!

Seeing Evan, the guy squinted.

Evan froze.

After a brief stare-down, Evan's gaze dropped to what the guy was holding.

Not a thing, but a person!

It was Dr. White, who had fled amidst chaos and once owed his life to Clayton!

Dr. White was unconscious, lying on the ground like a sack of potatoes, and the guy was dragging him by one leg as if he was no heavier than a bag of groceries.

Evan gasped, "What are you doing?!"

"You were looking for him, right? I brought him back for you! How do you wanna do it?"

The guy's tone was casual, almost seeking approval.

Evan's eyes widened, "I did want to find him, but I never said I wanted to kill him!"

"He's your enemy. If you don't take him out, you waiting for him to get you first?!"

"He'd need the skills to try! Besides, there are plenty of ways to deal with an enemy without taking his life! Not everything has to end in death, you know. It's against the law."

"What do you know? Dead men tell no tales. It's the only way to be sure!"

Evan rolled his eyes, remembering how his mom always said to be a law-abiding citizen in a society governed by rules.

His grandpa in the mountains said martial arts were for self-defense and protecting one's family, not for violence!

He decided to listen only to his mom and his trainer, not this guy!

Ignoring him, Evan glanced down at Dr. White with a frown.

His grandpa treated him like a brother, and he betrayed him!

Such scum was despicable!noveldrama

Thinking of Larry and the house staff who had been kidnapped, leaving his grandpa with no one to lash out at, Evan said to the guy,

"Just toss him over the wall, let grandpa have a go at him."

The guy seemed to think Evan was too kind, slightly pursing his lips, but he did as told.

He grabbed Dr. White by the leg and threw him over the wall into the Hawkins house yard.

Immediately, there was a commotion inside, "Who's that?!"

"It's Dr. White! Quick, tell the boss we found Dr. White!"

Evan exhaled and turned towards the Murphy house.

The Murphy house was the closest to Hawkins Mansion. He planned to check it out first, then hit up the Coffee Shop to hang with some investors, and finally visit Larry at the hospital.

After hanging out with Larry, he'd meet up with Helen.

He aimed to make the full round without missing dinner!

However, passing through a wooded area, the guy suddenly blocked his path,

"Don't bother with the Murphy house. It's off-limits."

"Huh? Why?"

"The Murphy house caught fire."

Evan was stunned, his dark eyes spinning in shock as he quickly checked his smartwatch.

Unaware until now, he was shocked to see the Murphy mansion fire topping the trending news, complete with live footage. The fire was huge, lighting up half the sky!

The Murphys were on the ground, wailing as if the world was ending.

"Good Lord, what a tragedy! It's all gone, all gone. Heaven must be wanting to end the Murphy line!"

"Waaah, who the devil did this? I'll kill them, I swear I will... Waaah..."

Evan was shocked, turning to the guy, "Did you do this?"

"Yeah."

"Why? To get revenge for me?"

"Yeah."

Evan: "?!?"

The guy squinted, saying,

"Don't bother with the Coffee Shop, the hospital, or the police station. I've taken care of those people for you."

Evan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You took them all out?!"
