Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1808

They weren't just excited about the baby—they adored Winona too.

They clamored to greet her, with a few eager staff members even throwing out a respectful "Mrs. Huber."

Winona was completely overwhelmed. She blushed furiously, looking like a bashful newlywed.

It wasn't that she was overly timid; the sheer scale of the reception was just jaw-dropping.

The hospitality of the Huber household was practically a tidal wave.

Janelle beamed with pride, her smile stretching from ear to ear as she personally handed out generous holiday bonuses to the staff to celebrate.

The atmosphere was electric, every single person in the estate swept up in the jubilant mood.

Back with the Livingston family, Winona had been treated like dirt.

But here, with the Hubers, she was treated like absolute royalty.

Yet, where there was joy for some, there was sorrow for others.

Later that evening, Elysia received an unexpected call from Lancelot, asking if she was free.

"What's going on?" Elysia asked, pausing her dinner prep in the kitchen. "Do you need something?"

"If you have some time, could you swing by Blossom's place?" Lancelot's voice was tight. "She got into a massive fight with her parents. She's in tears."

Elysia froze. "What happened?"

Lancelot let out a heavy, ragged sigh. "Me."

Elysia fell silent, the pieces slowly clicking into place.

"I know Winona is pregnant, so I didn't want to bother her with this," he continued. "If you're busy, I can—"

"I'm free. I'll be right there."

Elysia hung up, quickly explained the situation to Clayton, Pamela, and the kids, grabbed her coat, and rushed out the door.

Folly and Hollis lived in the Faculty Courtyard, a charming but older residential complex subsidized by the university.

It lacked underground parking, and street spaces were notoriously tight, meaning outside vehicles were strictly barred from entering. Elysia had to park outside the gates and walk the rest of the way in.
