Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1356

Winona hurried to explain,

"We're just friends, honestly. With everything going on with Zane lately, Keaton's helped me out a bunch, and I'm really grateful."

"Today he got punched by Mr. Huber, so everyone's worried about him."

"Mr. Bradford said that you and he were bringing Keaton some food, but Keaton probably wouldn't eat if you guys brought it, so he asked me to come instead."

"Mr. Bradford figured Keaton's got his pride, and he wouldn't turn me down if I brought him dinner."

"I brought some wine, just hoping to get him to eat something, but then we got to talking and, well, ended up opening Harold's whiskey..."

"When you and Mr. Huber came in, and I saw Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Windham too, I just didn't want them to get the wrong idea and start gossiping, so I thought hiding was the best move."

Seeing Janelle still looking skeptical, Winona emphasized,

"Seriously, Keaton and I are just friends. There's nothing else between us."

A maid came over with a blanket, and Janelle personally draped it over Winona's shoulders.

"You don't need to be nervous," Janelle said gently. "I just worry Keaton might give you a hard time. I hope he hasn't upset you."

Winona shook her head, "No, not at all."

After chatting for a bit, Winona said her goodbyes.

Janelle walked her all the way to the car and even arranged a driver to take her

home-no way was she letting Winona drive after drinking.
