Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1678

Tamsin had noticed it the moment they entered the airport: a strange gaze fixed on them. But it didn't feel hostile, so she ignored it.

About ten minutes later, they got up to go through security and prepare for boarding.

Keaton had been hiding in a corner. He had waited at the airport for over an hour and finally saw her, but he couldn't bring himself to approach her. He could only watch as Winona boarded the plane and disappeared from sight.

Keaton was frustrated, not with anyone else, but with himself. He knew he wasn't acting like himself today, but he didn't know why. He had rushed to the airport to talk to Winona, hadn't he? But when he saw her, all he could do was watch from afar, too afraid to go up to her.

What was he hiding from? Why couldn't he just be straightforward and ask her? If he didn't like her, he should just tell her plainly and clear everything up. But he chose to hide, feeling an unwillingness to make things clear, and he didn't know why.

Keaton couldn't figure himself out anymore, and it was driving him crazy. He watched as Winona's flight took off, then made a call to arrange things for her contract terminations in advance, to prevent her from being given a hard time or extorted when she brought it up.

After the call, Keaton drove back to the Huber estate.

The Huber estate felt like a tomb today, draped in a heavy, suffocating silence.

When the servants saw him, they rushed over. "Keaton, thank God you're back! Please, go see your parents!"

"Mrs. Huber has been crying ever since she got home, and not only could Mr. Huber not console her, but he started tearing up too. They haven't eaten a single thing all day."

A servant speculated, "I wonder if it's because of all the rumors outside? For a while, everyone thought there was going to be good news for the Huber family, but today, someone suddenly said we got our hopes up for nothing! All those people who were secretly jealous of us are now coming out to mock us! I suspect Mr. and Mrs. Huber were upset by all the gossip!"

Carter, the old butler who had worked for the family for decades, and the nanny who had watched Keaton grow up, both asked him, "Keaton, is Ms. Newsom pregnant or not? Is there any happy news for the Huber family?"
