Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1665

"At least we didn't go around looking at maternity wards!"

"And we certainly didn't broadcast to everyone that we were expecting a grandchild!"

"But the main point is, our sons haven't declared themselves lifelong bachelors!"

"Mrs. Huber, don't blame us for laughing. In this lifetime, you are never going to hold a grandchild!"

"How dare you say I'll never have a grandchild?" Janelle seethed.

"It’s just a fact," one of them retorted. "If the Huber family ever has a grandchild, I'll come crawling to your door to congratulate you!"

"That's right! We'll all come crawling!"

Janelle was furious. She slammed her hand on the table. "You…"

Speechless with rage, she shot them a final glare, turned on her heel, and stormed out, leaving her expensive order of broths and delicacies behind.

A staff member hurried after her. "Mrs. Huber, please wait. We are so sorry you had an unpleasant experience in our establishment."

"We will have your order delivered to your home later. Please accept this small dessert as a token of our owner's apology."

Janelle didn't refuse. She accepted the small box with a curt thank you, got in her car, and left.

"Winona. I'm back. Long time no see."

...

In the hospital, Keaton was lying alone in bed, lost in thought.

His brow was creased, a heavy weight on his mind.

When he saw Janelle walk in, he quickly smoothed his expression. "Mom."

Janelle walked to his bedside. Noticing Winona was absent, she asked, "Where's Winona?"
