Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1632

Winona shot him a glare. While driving, she called Elysia Thorne.

“Elysia, have you made it to the hospital yet?”

“Almost there. Are you starving?”

“I am, but Keaton and I had to step out for something. If you don’t have anything else going on, could you just wait for us in the room for a bit?”

Elysia was curious. “You went out?”

“Yeah. We probably won’t be back for about forty minutes.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the room then.”

“Okay, thanks.”

As she hung up, Keaton couldn't help but speak again. “Will we really be back in forty minutes?”

“Yes.”

Keaton glanced at the GPS. “It’s another ten minutes to City Hall, and half an hour from there back to the hospital. Are you not planning to spend any time talking to Beatrix?”

Winona replied, “Meeting her won’t take long.”

Just as Keaton was about to say more, Winona’s phone rang. It was her agent.

Her agent was speechless about her secretly running back to Jindale City and launched into a tirade.

“You personally agreed yesterday to have dinner with the brand partner today. Their young master flew back from abroad just to meet you, and you just disappeared!”

“For heaven’s sake, you just stood up the son of a major sponsor!”

Winona blinked, finally remembering. “...I’m so sorry, Allen, I completely forgot about the dinner! Something urgent came up in Jindale City, and I left in too much of a hurry. Please, cover for me. Tell him I’ll make it up to him personally next time we have a chance to meet.”

Allen sighed dramatically. “What could possibly be so urgent that you had to rush back overnight?”

Just as Winona was about to invent an excuse, Keaton suddenly spoke up.

“I suddenly felt sick, so she came back to see me. Stop giving her a hard time. I’ll handle the fallout. Just bill it to me.”

Winona’s eyes widened. “!”
