Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1455

Of all the things his son said, the only words Richard heard were ‘announce our marriage’!

He was so overjoyed he was on the verge of tears. “Son, you’ve finally done something right! In the thirty years I’ve been your father, this is the proudest I’ve ever been of you!”

“You’re finally willing to settle down! The Huber family name is saved! I can finally die a happy man!”

Janelle’s expression was conflicted. She wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t unhappy either. After a long moment, she said, “Winona is so exceptional, she must have high standards. How could she possibly fall for you?”

Richard didn’t like that. He stood up for his son. “What kind of thing is that to say? No matter how flawed he is, he’s still my son. He might be unreliable, but he’s not completely useless. At least he’s good-looking, right?”

Keaton: “…” So, the only good thing about him was his looks? Both his mother’s and father’s love for him was present, but not by much.

Keaton continued his charade. “Okay, you two need to calm down. This thing with Winona and me… it’s brand new. We’ve barely gotten started.”

“For the sake of our future, I need you to keep this a secret. Don’t tell anyone. If Winona finds out I spilled the beans, she’ll definitely break up with me!”

Richard immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, son, my lips are sealed!” He then warned Janelle, “Don’t you go around spreading this. Keep it a secret for our son’s sake. Don’t ruin his big chance!”

Janelle’s face was still twisted in conflict; she neither nodded nor shook her head.

Keaton tried to reassure her. “Mom, I know you adore Winona. Don’t worry, whether we end up getting married or not, I will never let her get hurt. If we do break up, she’ll be the one dumping me, not the other way around!”

Richard’s face immediately darkened. He lectured his son, “What break up? Don’t jinx it! Why can’t you be more positive?! Now that Winona likes you, you need to hold on tight and do whatever it takes to marry her into the Huber family!”
