Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1388

Keaton’s face suddenly turned grim.

Normally, he was all jokes and grins, but now his expression was weighed down, as if something serious had just flashed through his mind.

It took him a moment to pull himself together. When he finally did, the mischievous glint was back in his eyes as he squinted at her and said,

“This is between me and Beatrix. I can’t really talk about it, but trust me—I'll handle it, okay?”

“I promise, I won't drag you into this. Just give me a sec, I need to make a call.”

Before heading out to the deck, he handed Winona a napkin and tried to cheer her up, “Come on, stop crying. You’re about to turn into the ugly duckling over here.”

Winona watched him step outside, frowning. She’d been sobbing her eyes out and he still wouldn’t tell her what was going on!

What in the world was between him and Beatrix?

Was it really that top secret?

Her phone suddenly buzzed, the ringtone slicing through her thoughts.

She glanced at the screen: Janelle was calling. Swiping away the tears, she steadied herself before answering, “Hey, Janelle.”

Janelle didn’t waste a second. “Winona, did Beatrix come after you?”

Jessamine had just told her that Beatrix had shown up, and Janelle was clearly rattled.

“I’m fine, Janelle. She just wanted to talk, that’s all,” Winona replied quickly.

Janelle’s voice was tight with frustration. “She’s unbelievable! After everything that’s happened between her and Keaton, I know my son’s innocent. I’m furious with the Suttons, not her!”

“I’m a woman too, I get what she’s feeling. No matter what happened, she’s the one who got hurt here. I always wanted to make it right for her. And now she’s got the nerve to come after you?”

“Don’t worry, Winona. If she tries to mess with you, Richard and I will have your back, you hear me?”

“We’ve already had the Huber family’s PR team put out a statement. The engagement between our families ended ages ago. Beatrix is not, and has never been, my future daughter-in-law. She doesn’t have anything to do with the Hubers anymore!”
