Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1359

And then, to top it all off, his parents publicly and unilaterally announced they were cutting him off!

Honestly, to end up like this… poor guy!

Just before they reached Tanhe Manor, the Huber family’s chauffeur—who was driving her home—suddenly broke down in tears.

With snot and tears streaming down his face, he said,

“Ms. Newsom, I just heard—Keaton’s been kicked out of the house by Mr. and Mrs. Huber. They want nothing to do with him anymore… and they’ve ordered that anyone who tries to help him will be cut off too!”

“He’s still badly hurt, Ms. Newsom. If he’s out there alone, something could happen to him. What if his wounds get infected again? Oh, God…”

“Ms. Newsom, please, just let me go back and bring Keaton to Tanhe Manor.”

“Don’t get me wrong—I’m not asking to bring him into your house. Keaton’s got his own place at the manor.”

“He really is down on his luck. If you don’t help him, who else will?”

At first, she didn’t believe it. After all, Keaton was the only heir of the Huber family.

If the Hubers disowned him, wouldn’t that mean the end of their family line?!

But now, seeing Keaton herself, Winona really believed it.

Especially after remembering what the driver said: part of the reason Keaton got thrown out was because he snuck some of Harold Huber’s whiskey.

She felt a pang of guilt.

Even though, honestly, it wasn’t her fault!

Still, she had definitely helped herself to more than a glass or two…

After some thought, Winona ended up calling a cab.

She decided she’d take Keaton to the hospital first—get his injuries checked out and patched up before dealing with anything else.

Meanwhile, when Richard and Janelle heard that Winona had taken their son in, they were so happy they set off fireworks in the front yard!

Everyone else: “…” Oh boy, that’s it for Mr. Huber!

Mr. and Mrs. Huber looked so delighted, lighting up the sky with fireworks. They really didn’t want him back!

Mr. Huber had truly become the castaway of the family—now doomed to wander the world alone!

Richard and Janelle just rolled their eyes: “You guys don’t get it at all!”

That result alone proved there was a connection between Lucian and the so-called “mystery man.”

After all, the illegitimate child had grown up under the mystery man’s protection!

So Tarquin had rushed over to get to the bottom of things.

As soon as Tarquin got out of the car, Axel appeared.

He looked the same as always: black tracksuit, black baseball cap, black face mask. He radiated that same icy, dangerous vibe, with eyes sharp as knives.

“Everything’s normal with Lucian. No suspicious visitors, and nobody’s been watching him—except for me, of course. But I’m sure the mystery man’s monitoring things remotely, so be careful what you say when you go up.”

“Yeah, I’ll go in alone. Wait for me down here,” Tarquin said.

“Will do. One more thing—Lucian wasn’t told about the death by the mystery man. It was a private investigator who let him know. No connection to the mystery man at all.”

Tarquin raised an eyebrow. “How’d a private eye know about Lucian and the kid?”

Axel replied, “Years ago, when Lucian first found out he had an illegitimate son, he hired a private investigator to look into it. The PI only tracked the kid down when he came back to the States, and as soon as Lucian woke up, the PI gave him the news.”

Tarquin frowned slightly. “…Got it.”
