Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1437

Alicia was fuming inside, but she didn't dare show it. Instead, she pouted and turned on the charm.

"Come on, babe, the only reason I don't like those girls is because I'm scared they'll steal you from me! I'm sorry, okay? Don't be mad, please? I'll watch what I say from now on."

She punctuated her apology with a quick kiss on Keaton's cheek, her eyes sparkling flirtatiously.

Keaton just raised an eyebrow. "Benny can pull off cute, but act too clueless and you're just being dumb. Maybe try thinking before you talk, yeah?"

Alicia nodded eagerly. "Got it, I promise!"

As they strolled down the street toward home, they spotted Elysia slipping into the house next door. Alicia's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wait a sec-babe, you live next door to Winona?"

"Yeah," Keaton shrugged.

Alicia's tone turned instantly sour. "How come you two live so close, huh...?"

Keaton grinned and teased, “Not as close as you—I mean, you're right here in my heart."

Elysia, who'd just stepped inside, rolled her eyes so hard she nearly saw her brain. Whatever little soft spot she'd had for Keaton was officially gone. When it came to relationships, that guy was absolutely hopeless-just look at the girlfriend he'd picked!
