Chapter 1446
Janelle was speechless and tried to defend her son. “He stole the liquor for Winona because he knows we like her. He probably figured that even if he got caught, we wouldn’t be too mad because of her p>
“And as for sneaking into her bedroom… wait, Keaton, why did you sneak into Winona’s room?!” Janelle suddenly grew agitated as she spoke. “She’s a young woman! Even if you don’t care about gossip, she does p>
“No wonder your father said he’d break your legs if you two aren’t together. You better explain yourself right now, or if he doesn’t do it, I will p>
Keaton was at a complete loss. He said meekly, “Aren’t you two being a little old- fashioned? What’s the big deal about a bedroom? It’s the 21st century, friends can hang out in each other’s rooms p>
Janelle smacked him across the back of the head. “A girl’s bedroom is not just any room you can waltz into p>
Richard added, “Especially not by sneaking in p>
Janelle nodded. “Right. If you and Winona are just friends, why did you have to sneak over? Why not use the front door?” She leaned in and sniffed. “And, what did you do in her bedroom?! You smell like Winona’s shampoo Her eyes widened. “You took a shower in her room p>
Keaton quickly explained, “I just washed my hair, I didn’t take a shower! Can you please stop looking at me like I’m some kind of creep p>
Janelle was furious. “What kind of decent young man climbs through a window to wash his hair in a girl’s room p>
Richard chimed in, “Unless they’re dating p>
Janelle faltered for a second, then glared at Keaton. She took out her phone and snapped two photos. “Tell me the truth about you and Winona right now! If you don’t, not only will you get a beating, but I’ll post these ugly pictures of you online for everyone to laugh at p>
Keaton: Was this really his mother?
Seeing the ‘ready to strike at any moment’ attitude from his parents, Keaton didn’t dare speak rashly. The last time, with the Beatrix Sutton incident, his dad had nearly taken a golf club to him while his mom tried to intervene, and he still barely made it out alive. This time, if they both teamed up they’d probably bury hin in the backyard! Besides, his mom had photographic evidence.
She’d become obsessed with her celebrity idols lately; he had no doubt she would actually post his embarrassing photos online.
After mulling it over, Keaton let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, “Let’s talk in the living room. The walls are thin, we don’t want her to hear p>
He managed to coax his parents out of the bedroom and sat across from them, ready to spin a tale. “In my eyes, you’ve always been such open-minded parents, so loving and p>
Richard cut him off. “Cut the crap! Tell us about you and Winona p>
Keaton pursed his lips. “Winona and I… we are together.” Richard: “!” His eyes lit up. The Huber family was saved!
Janelle: “!” She was just shocked, unsure if she should be happy or angry Her son was with Winona, which should be a good thing. But how could this brat possibly be good enough for her idol p>
Keaton continued his lie. “The reason I didn’t tell you is because Winona asked me not to. She’s not sure if she wants to marry me yet, so she wants to keep it quiet p>
“She said she wants to test me out first. If we don’t work out, we can break up quietly without affecting our families and friends. If we do, we’ll just announce outarriage and give you all a big surprise p>
