Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1451

Winona Newsom’s heart was pounding, beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest!

Caroline called from the first floor, “Winona, what was that noise?”

Winona forced herself to lie, “...It’s nothing, I’m just binge-watching a show. I’ll be done soon.”

“Oh, just a show.”

Her parents didn’t think much of it and went back to their conversation.

Winona let out a long sigh and shot a glare at Keaton Huber, gritting her teeth, ready to tear into him.

But when she saw him pointing at his own hair with a questioning look, her anger deflated.

The haircut wasn't just bad, it was hysterically awful.

Winona mumbled, “You’re the one who made me cut it!”

Keaton gritted his teeth. “But you didn’t have to make it this ugly, did you?”

“That’s because you turned your head!” Winona shot back.

Keaton’s eyes widened. “So it’s my fault?”

Winona glared. “Well, it’s not my fault, is it? You forced me to cut it, and we agreed beforehand—if you got mad, you broke the promise!”

Keaton felt wronged. “How was I supposed to know that a beautiful girl like you could be so clumsy!”

“You’re the clumsy one! And you’re getting mad, so you broke your promise!” Winona retorted.

Keaton scratched his head. “Just fix it, quickly. I can’t stand this hairstyle for another second!”

“Right now?”

“Yes!”

“My parents are waiting for me outside!”

“It’s fine, they won’t rush you. Just hurry up.”

Winona said irritably, “I don’t know how to cut hair. What if I make it even uglier?”

Keaton pressed his lips together. “Trust me, it can’t possibly get any uglier than this! If you don’t fix it for me, I’ll start screaming right now and let your parents and my parents know that you’re hiding a guy in your room!”

“You…!”

Janelle continued, “To be honest, I used to hope Winona would be my daughter-in-law. But then I realized they aren't right for each other.”

“That rascal son of mine is simply not good enough for a wonderful girl like Winona!”

“So we’ve given up on that hope. Now we just want her as our goddaughter. You can rest assured, we will absolutely cherish her!”

Keaton and Winona: “…”

Ever since Winona learned that Janelle and her husband wanted to set her up with Keaton, she had been a bit reserved around them. She didn't want to disappoint them, so she was afraid to get too close.

Hearing Janelle say this, she felt a wave of relief. Now she could be close to Janelle without any pressure. The affection was mutual; Janelle liked her, and she liked Janelle.

Winona raised an eyebrow and teased Keaton, “A roast from your own mom is the most brutal. You’re really failing, huh?”

With that, she left the bedroom in a good mood.

Keaton was left reeling in her room. “…”

His own mother had just trash-talked him in front of Winona's parents! Just how much did she adore Winona?! It seemed his mom had completely given up on the idea of them getting together.

In the living room, Ridley and Caroline Newsom, seeing how sincere the Hubers were, immediately gave their answer. “Of course, we’re willing. As long as Winona has no objections, we certainly have no objections.”
