Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1580

Jessamine's tone was sharp.

"Mom and Dad didn't start the rumor, Mrs. Wallace did. She doesn't know the woman is Winona, so you don't have to worry about Winona's reputation."

"But Keaton, you know how much Mom and Dad want a grandchild. How can they handle this kind of emotional whiplash?"

"Mom was so excited she couldn't sleep all night! Dad was up before dawn, spending the entire morning in the family chapel in deep prayer."

"He was praying for you and Winona, praying that the baby in her womb would be healthy and safe!"

"They're in their fifties! This kind of stress is too much for their bodies!"

"Besides, several of their friends called Mom today to ask about it. Even though she didn't confirm it, they were already starting to congratulate her."

"Because of your chaotic private life, Mom and Dad have had to put up with a lot of mockery. Today, they finally felt proud for once. They were over the moon."

"And now you want me to tell them that Winona isn't pregnant, that there is no grandchild, that it was all just a big misunderstanding?"

"First of all, they have their pride. The 'big news' of a grandchild turning into a farce? They’ll become the laughingstock of the entire social circle!"

"Especially Mom. She's already been looking at birthing centers. How is she supposed to face anyone after this?"

"You know how those social vultures are—they’ll tear Mom to pieces the moment they scent blood in the water. This will make her their new favorite joke."

"And second, Mom and Dad genuinely want a grandchild. Finding out the truth so suddenly… they'll be sick with disappointment!"

After her tirade, Jessamine added, "I know this isn't entirely your fault—it was Mrs. Wallace's mistake—but you're responsible too. You were the one who started this whole charade with Winona, which made Mom and Dad misunderstand!"

"If you had kept your distance from Winona, and kept your other women away from her, then even if Mrs. Wallace had sent that video, they would have asked you what was going on first. They wouldn't have just believed it!"

"It's because they were already under the impression that you and Winona were together that they were so quick to believe she was pregnant!"
