Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1386

Jessamine frowned, letting out a dramatic sigh.

"Honestly, Winona, you've really been through the wringer. It's just not fair to you." She leaned in, lowering her voice conspiratorially.

"Next time Beatrix comes looking for trouble, just ignore her. Or better yet, tell me. You're a public figure, so you can't cause a scene-but I'm happy to take care of her for you!"

Winona just smiled, not saying much.

Jessamine checked her watch. "Gotta run-lunch with Corbin Denton. Wish me luck!" And with a quick wave, she was out the door.

Elysia hesitated a moment, then turned to Winona.

"Hey, there's something I should probably tell you. Jess said Mr. Huber and Janelle are trying to set you up-with Keaton."

Winona's eyes shot wide open, totally caught off guard. "Are you serious?"

"I'm pretty sure. Jess isn't really the type to joke about this stuff."

Winona just shrugged, rolling her eyes.

"Well, they're going to be disappointed. Keaton and I? Not happening. We're both sworn singles. Marriage is definitely not in our plans."

Elysia just nodded. What could she say?

Winona had just had her heart broken; she wasn't likely to fall for anyone again anytime soon.

And Keaton? The guy had dated half the city, but it was always just for fun-never anything real.

Trying to get those two to fall in love and settle down? Yeah, good luck with that.
