Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1439

Alicia put on her best fake apology face.

“I’m so sorry, Ms. Newsom. I totally misunderstood, and I’ll cover all your medical bills. I’m young and stupid—please don’t hold it against me, okay?”

She wasn’t apologizing for Winona’s sake.

She just wanted to calm down Elysia. No way was she dumb enough to cross Mrs. Bradford!

And, hey, playing the victim might even score her some points with Keaton.

Alicia thought she had it all figured out. Too bad Winona wasn’t having any of it.

Winona shot back immediately, “Nope! I don’t accept your apology!”

Alicia blinked, thrown off. “Excuse me?!”

Winona said, “If it really was just a misunderstanding, I could let it go. I get it—if I walked into my boyfriend’s house and found a strange woman there, I’d be pissed off too. That’s normal.”

“But you didn’t hit me because of some misunderstanding!”

“You only started swinging when you saw my face. If it were anyone else, you wouldn’t have snapped like that!”

“So come on, spill it—what exactly do you have against me?”

Alicia froze. She hadn’t expected Winona to read her like an open book!

It was true—she’d lost it because the woman in question was Winona. If it had been another girl, she wouldn’t have gone off like that.

As for the reason… Alicia quickly shoved it aside and stuck to her story.

“No way. We’ve never even talked before. How could I have a grudge against you? You’re reading way too much into this.”

Winona snorted.

“If I’ve misjudged you, I’ll eat my hat—hell, I’ll hand you my eyeballs to play hacky sack with!”

Alicia started to get nervous under Winona’s stare and turned to Keaton for help.

“Babe, I swear, I didn’t do anything! She’s totally making stuff up, I—” Her voice broke into dramatic sobs, like she was the real victim here.
