Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1650

Richard and Janelle shot back, “Who told you Keaton was proposing today?”

Sophus and Sophie were floored. “...?!”

They had only heard there was going to be a proposal; no one had explicitly mentioned Keaton. But since Beatrix’s romantic entanglement was with Keaton, they had naturally assumed he was the one proposing. That’s why they were so overjoyed, even starting a livestream to announce it to the world.

“But Beatrix and Keaton…”

Richard cut them off. “They’re ancient history. Didn’t you just see that young man proposing to Beatrix?”

Sophie was frantic. “No, but our son-in-law is a Huber!”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Janelle retorted. “That man over there is your son-in-law!”

Sophus and Sophie looked at Tate Joubert, gasping for air. “No! No! This is wrong! This… this is all wrong!”

Sophus started to move forward to interrupt Tate, but Richard grabbed his arm, his face darkening as he applied pressure. “There’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t you dare ruin this. The kids put a lot of effort into setting this up.” He wasn’t about to let him spoil Winona’s elaborate plan.

Janelle added coldly, “Your daughter hasn’t said anything yet, so why are you so worked up? It’s not like he’s proposing to you!”

Sophus and Sophie were furious, but they didn’t dare lash out at Richard and Janelle. They could only force a strained, placating tone. “But… Mr. and Mrs. Huber, Beatrix is your daughter-in-law! She’s carrying a Huber baby in her belly! You can’t just…”

Janelle’s brow furrowed, and she cut Sophie off. “Mrs. Sutton, you can’t just say things like that! I don’t know whose baby Beatrix is carrying, but I know for a fact that it is not a Huber!”

Sophie’s eyes widened. “But Beatrix said it was Mr. Huber’s! You can’t disown your own grandchild!”
