Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1626

Shifra froze. The last person she ever expected to see in this hospital room was Winona.

She stared at Winona for a long moment before snapping out of it and offering a weak greeting. "Winona… hey."

Winona didn't respond. She just continued to study her, a sly smile on her red lips, her beautiful eyes narrowed.

Shifra was dressed for innocence today: light makeup, a high ponytail, a collegiate-style sweatsuit, and a pair of canvas sneakers.

The whole preppy look made her look like a high schooler at first glance.

Winona immediately thought of Keaton's first love, that girl named Clementine.

She let out a disdainful scoff and thought to herself:

*Shifra's a smart one, alright. She knows how to play to her strengths and give him what he wants.*

*Keaton was only with her because she looked like Clementine.*

*She might not know Clementine by name, but she must have guessed that the one person Keaton could never forget would be his first love.*

*After all, first loves happen when you're young and impressionable. You remember them for a lifetime.*

*Her dressing up all innocent like this is a ploy to look more like Clementine, to win Keaton back.*

*The idea is sound, and her method of seducing a man is on the right track. Like I said, she's smart.*

Feeling unnerved by Winona's stare, Shifra forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes and tried again. "Winona, I thought you were out of town for an event? When did you get back?"

Winona had secretly flown back to Jindale City overnight, without even her agent. Almost no one knew.

Ignoring the question, Winona turned to Keaton. "Am I your ancestor?"

Keaton blinked, then nodded. "Yep! You are!"

"Good. Then I'm going to have a little chat with her. Settle some personal business. You stay out of it."
