Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1334

Tarquin drove away from Number One Manor, shaking his head as he spoke.

“No matter how old you get, you’re always your dad’s kid. If he thinks you’ve screwed up, he’s gonna lay down the law.”

“But Mr. Huber hasn’t really lost his temper in years. Whatever Keaton did this time must’ve really crossed a line.”

Elysia turned to him. “What do you think happened?”

Tarquin thought for a moment.

“Jess said it had something to do with Beatrix. So, relationship drama, probably.”

“Mr. Huber’s old-school, very traditional. Keaton, on the other hand, is all about living wild and free. They argue all the time because their worldviews don’t match.”

Winona piped up, “Who’s Beatrix?”

Elysia answered, “I’ve met her—she’s Keaton’s fiancée. Their families are planning a big engagement party at the end of the year.”

“But Jess said Keaton isn’t actually into her. He only agreed to the engagement to keep his parents happy.”

Winona raised an eyebrow. “Does Beatrix even like him?”

Elysia shrugged and looked at Tarquin. “What do you think? Does Beatrix like Keaton?”

Tarquin shook his head. “No idea. Keaton’s never mentioned it.”

Winona continued, “Isn’t Beatrix that academic superstar with a bunch of degrees?”

“Yeah, she’s got an impressive résumé,” Tarquin confirmed.

Winona nodded knowingly. “I know her! No wonder Mr. Huber isn’t a fan—she’s definitely not his type.”

Keaton always went for girls who were either drop-dead gorgeous, adorably sweet, or had that untouchable ice-queen vibe. Beatrix, with her scholarly reputation, just wasn’t his style.

Elysia frowned.

“If he didn’t like her, he shouldn’t have agreed to it in the first place. Sure, it’s tough to say no to your parents, but saying yes and then backing out is even messier.”
