Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1630

Winona was still curious. "Why the sudden breakthrough? How did you get over her?"

Keaton was silent for a few seconds before answering. "I don't know. All of a sudden, I could just talk about her."

Winona: "…"

They looked at each other for a moment, then Keaton cleared his throat. "Hey, uh… don't go sleeping around, okay? I don't think that method I taught you is very reliable."

Winona: "…"

"Look at me," Keaton explained. "I slept with so many people and it never helped me get over her. It feels like I was only liberated today. So the whole 'sow your wild oats' method? It's a bust."

Winona felt a wave of awkwardness talking about this. She forced herself to ask again, "But how did you really get over her today?"

Keaton replied, "I really don't know. Maybe I already got over her a few days ago. It's strange. But I'm sure it wasn't because I was sleeping around. Anyway, just listen to me. Don't go sleeping around!"

Winona: "…"

*For crying out loud, I already slept with you, and NOW you're telling me the method doesn't work? It sure as hell doesn't! After sleeping with him, I don't feel liberated at all. I feel even more anxious!*

"Ancestor!" Keaton suddenly called her name again.

"What?!" Winona snapped, irritated.

Keaton grinned. "Let me see the phone first."

Winona composed herself, took out her phone, found the video she had just recorded, and showed it to him. "I recorded your conversation so that everyone knows you're really done with Shifra. It'll stop her from using you for clout outside."

Keaton seemed to not hear her. He sighed. "I've lost a lot of weight. I'm not as handsome as I used to be, am I?"

Winona: "…Can I post this video? Just the first part, not the part where you talk about your first love."

Once the video was out, everyone would know that Keaton and Shifra were well and truly over. Shifra's days of using him for personal gain were finished. They would finally have a clean break. And only with a clean break would Shifra stop bothering her and Janelle.

But Keaton said, "Why not post that part? Post the whole thing."

Winona looked at him suspiciously. "If you post it, people will get curious about who your first love is. They'll talk."

"It's fine," Keaton said. "I'll answer them openly."

Winona: "…You're really over her?"

"Yeah. It's not a lie!"

Winona pursed her lips and took back the phone. "I'll have someone post it now."
