Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1395

“Your mom totally lost her cool and marched right up to the other kid’s parent and slapped them across the face. After that, things went off the rails.”

Elysia’s heart skipped a beat. “Is my mom hurt?!”

“No, no, she’s fine. I was there with the school security, we kept her safe. But, well, now the other parents are even more pissed off. The teacher said we’re not allowed to talk to the other family anymore. She wants you and Tarquin to come down.”

Elysia asked, “Is Blossom not at school today?”

“No, she’s out at some conference at another school.”

Elysia frowned. “We’re on our way back now. Tell the teacher we’ll be there in about forty minutes, okay? You and mom just keep an eye on the kids and don’t argue with the other parents.”

“Alright, alright, I got it.”

Once she hung up, Elysia immediately called the preschool teacher to get the details.

The teacher just said, “I’d rather talk in person.”

When Elysia hung up again, Tarquin glanced over. “Which kid got into a fight?”

“It was Punikon. The one who’s half Zhinora, half Thyania.”

Their kids went to an international preschool. Most kids were from Zhinora, but there were also some mixed kids and a handful of foreign kids.

Tarquin frowned. He remembered Punikon—a little troublemaker, if ever there was one.

His family ran a martial arts studio. Dad and both grandparents were from Thyania; his mom was Zhinorian.

Punikon had been learning Thyanian boxing since he could walk and was known for being pretty aggressive—kind of like Evan, but with even less self-control.

The difference was, Evan never picked on regular kids or strutted around like he owned the place. Punikon, on the other hand, always wanted to be king of the playground. If things didn’t go his way, he’d start swinging.

The teacher explained, “Usually there’s always someone in the classroom. But today, one of the kids suddenly got a stomach ache, so our staff took him to the nurse’s office.”

“The other teacher hadn’t arrived yet. That’s when it all happened.”

“There’s no camera near the bathroom, so we don’t know exactly what went down. All we can do is ask the kids.”

“I talked to Punikon, Evan, Emmett, and Elijah.”

“Punikon said he wanted to be friends with Elijah, but Elijah ignored him. He got mad and decided to try and scare him.”

“Then, out of nowhere, Emmett ran over and started hitting him!”

“He says Emmett threw the first punch, so he fought back. He also claims he didn’t go too hard, but when Evan came back from outside, he pinned Punikon down and just kept wailing on him.”
