Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1388

Keaton's face suddenly turned grim.

Normally, he was all jokes and grins, but now his expression was weighed down, as if something serious had just flashed through his mind.

It took him a moment to pull himself together. When he finally did, the mischievous glint was back in his eyes as he squinted at her and said,

"This is between me and Beatrix. I can't really talk about it, but trust me I'll handle it, okay?"

"I promise, I won't drag you into this. Just give me a sec, I need to make a call."

Before heading out to the deck, he handed Winona a napkin and tried to cheer her up, “Come on, stop crying. You're about to turn into the ugly duckling over here."

Winona watched him step outside, frowning. She'd been sobbing her eyes out and he still wouldn't tell her what was going on!

What in the world was between him and Beatrix?

Was it really that top secret?

Her phone suddenly buzzed, the ringtone slicing through her thoughts.

She glanced at the screen: Janelle was calling. Swiping away the tears, she steadied herself before answering, "Hey, Janelle."

Janelle didn't waste a second. "Winona, did Beatrix come after you?"
