Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1443

When Keaton arrived at the hospital and checked his phone, he finally saw the news blowing up online.

Honestly, he had nothing to say about his own mom’s antics—he just ignored it.

After learning that Winona was out of surgery and resting in her room with an IV, Keaton headed over to find her.

He’d barely stepped out of the elevator when he spotted Janelle in the hallway.

Janelle had just left Winona’s room. The moment she saw her darling son, she frowned and shot daggers at him with her eyes.

Toting her designer handbag, she marched over.

Keaton could tell she was in full “mom fury” mode, but there was nowhere to hide. He braced himself: “Hey, Mom—”

Janelle didn’t even respond. She grabbed his ear and dragged him around the corner, into the stairwell.

“Ow, Mom! Take it easy, I’m your actual son!” Keaton yelped.

Once they were behind the door, Janelle launched into a tirade.

“Don’t call me ‘Mom’! What did I do in my past life to deserve a son like you?”

“Look at what you’ve done! Winona needed three stitches. Three! Do you have any idea how much that hurts?”

“She’s a celebrity, for heaven’s sake! Do you know how much actresses care about their looks? She had to cut away some hair for the stitches! All because of you!”

“It’s all your fault! Yours!”

The more Janelle spoke, the angrier she got—she even started smacking him.

Keaton tried to shield himself, apologizing as blows rained down. “Okay, I know it’s my fault! That’s why I’m here—to apologize to Winona. Please, can you stop hitting me now?”

Janelle finally stopped, catching her breath. “I don’t care how you do it—just make sure Winona forgives you!”

Keaton tried to reason with her, “Mom, can you calm down a bit? Winona’s not your daughter-in-law, remember? I’ve told you a million times, there’s nothing romantic between us. We’re just friends.”

Janelle nodded vigorously. “You’re absolutely right! I don’t want Winona as my daughter-in-law anymore.”
