Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1628

He leaned back against the pillows, took a few sips of water to wet his throat, and then spoke. "Me being sick has nothing to do with you, either. Don't overthink it, and definitely don't feel guilty."

"You should know my style by now. When I break up with someone, it's clean. No loose ends. We're done, which means I'm not torn up about it."

"And there's absolutely no chance of getting back together. I don't go back for seconds. It's over between us."

Shifra cried, "Breaking up with you was an impulsive decision, I…"

She truly never imagined that Keaton wouldn't come crawling back to her. He hadn't sent her a single text in all this time.

Keaton chuckled. "Shifra, I might have a soft spot for a pretty face, but I only care about my girlfriend's tears. We've broken up. Crying in front of me now is useless. I don't feel sorry for you, and I certainly won't go soft on you."

"And another thing. It's not a crime for a girl to be a little clever, but you've played games and used me time and time again. Do you think I'm an idiot, or did you think I'd be sentimental about our past?"

Shifra froze, immediately denying it. "I… I didn't use you."

Keaton’s eyes narrowed, his tone deceptively mild. "You didn't use me? Then how did you get close to Winona? And where did you get the resources to make her go viral with all that hate?"

"And for that matter, you caused a public uproar, so why has your life been proceeding as normal?"

"How did you find out what was going on with me? How did you know I was sick, hospitalized, where I was, and what room number?"

"If you weren't using me, you'd never have had the chance to get near Winona, you wouldn't have been able to dig up info on me, and you certainly wouldn't be standing in front of me right now."

"And your life? It would be a complete mess."
