Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 368

She just left, what about Winona?

She still hadn't heard from Winona!

First, there was the mystery of her vanishing act, then the uproar over Duchess Kate's scandal…

Lives were at stake, and she genuinely worried for Winona Newsom!

Without further thought, Elysia grabbed her phone to call Zane.

She hadn't told Zane she was leaving, just inquired if he had managed to reach Winona.

Zane said, "Got in touch, yeah. Was planning to catch up with you about it these past few days. Meet up for a chat?"

"...I’m a bit tied up at the moment, just want to know if Winona’s okay? Where is she now?"

"She’s fine, didn’t leave the country though. She’s been here secretly filming. The whole ‘leaving the country’ bit was a ruse by the production team."

Didn't leave the country?

That matched up with what Callum had uncovered, mentioning there was no record of Winona leaving the country.

"Can I give her a call, maybe talk to her?"

"That’s a no-go, confidentiality agreements and all."

"Oh..." Elysia sounded deflated.

Seeming to cheer her up, Zane quickly added, "But, her agent sent over a work clip of Winona the day before yesterday. I’ll send it your way."

"Sure!"

Receiving the video, Elysia and Blossom watched it together.

In the video, Winona, looking radiant in costume, leaned back in a chair, script in hand, deeply engrossed.

"Winona, look here."

Someone called out to her, and Winona turned towards the camera, "What’s up?"

"Zane’s missing you, thought we’d shoot a video for him. He might come down with a case of lovesickness if he doesn’t see you soon."

A smile played on Winona’s lips, "He’s always fretting over nothing. Tell him I’ll be home soon."

"Will do."

The video ended there, and Blossom remarked, "She only said she'd be back soon, no mention of when exactly."
