Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1658

Keaton’s brow furrowed slightly. “Beatrix brought this on herself. My mood has nothing to do with Winona.”

Elysia reminded him, “You should be well aware that Winona went after Beatrix for two reasons. One was revenge. The other was because of you, Janelle, and Mr. Huber.”

She couldn’t do anything about Keaton being upset over Beatrix. But if he was going to blame Winona for what happened tonight, she had to speak up for her friend.

What right did he have to blame Winona? A huge part of the reason Winona sought revenge on Beatrix was because of the Huber family!

Keaton sensed something was off. “Did Winona misunderstand something?”

Elysia shook her head. “No.”

“...I’m not an ungrateful person,” Keaton said quietly.

“Good. How are you feeling now? Still nauseous?”

“Much better.”

“Then the prescription is working. Keep taking it tomorrow, just once a day.” Elysia then looked at Tarquin. “I’m heading home, too.”

With Winona gone, there was no reason for her to stay.

Keaton caught the shift in the air and knew it was his cue to leave. He said to Tarquin, “You should go with Elysia. My nausea is gone. I’ll get a good night’s sleep, and if I’m still feeling this way tomorrow, I’ll just check myself out.”

Tarquin nodded. “Call me if you need anything.”

“Will do.”

At midnight, Elysia and Tarquin left the hospital.

In the car, Elysia asked Tarquin, “What did Keaton say to you?”

“Nothing.”

Elysia was surprised. “Nothing at all?”

Elysia’s brows knitted together. “…”

Beatrix and Keaton’s relationship was a tangled mess, and now Winona was pregnant with Keaton’s child. She was worried that if Beatrix found out, she would use Keaton’s indulgence to hurt Winona and the baby.

Elysia looked at Tarquin with a serious expression. “I don’t care what’s going on between Beatrix and Keaton, but if Beatrix ever dares to hurt Winona, I will make her regret it.”

Tarquin met her gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Did something happen to Winona?”

Elysia shot back, “Why would you think that?”

“You had me go buy her a pair of flats today…” Tarquin said slowly. “Is she pregnant?”

Elysia froze. “!”

Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at Tarquin. All she’d done was ask him to buy a pair of shoes, and Keaton had been right there. Keaton hadn’t noticed a thing, but he had managed to figure it out!
