Felicity's answer rendered Vermont silent. After a long time, he asked, "Does Stella know you're going back home?"

"Yes," Felicity whispered, feeling guilty.

Suddenly, Vermont found a reason to lose his temper. "Why didn't you tell me? What if we talked about you, and I had no clue what was happening? Aren't you afraid that she'd kill me?"

Felicity did not know what to say. "Okay, okay. I'll let you know next time. Do you want anything to eat? I'll bring you food and your meds before I leave for the airport."

"Forget it. I don't want anything. I'm hurt and don't have the appetite," Vermont sulked.

"What's wrong? Is it the injury?"

"No. It's my heart."

Felicity found his answer puzzling and was at a loss for words.

Vermont sighed and said, "It's fine. You don't have to come over and give me the meds anymore. Just pack your bags and go. Remember to send my regards to your mom."

The man's tone made Felicity uncomfortable. "Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? What's wron

    Stella was startled. She turned over and saw Marshall, standing not far away from her, with many things in his hands. The man just stood there, sizing her up from top to bottom. There was some hesitation in his eyes, indicating that he was unsure if it was her.Stella put up her finger to make a silent gesture, and Marshall instantly understood. He walked toward her and whispered disapprovingly, "Why are you out and about in the market at this crucial time?""This place is hidden from the city. Who would think I would be at a market if you don't tell anyone?" As Stella said, she took two oranges from her bag and gave them to Marshall. "Here. Try them. They're cheap and sweet."Marshall looked at the two oranges that were green and doubted her claim. He wore light gray sportswear and did not style his hair as usual. His clean look made him seem younger.Stella could not help but take a few glances at him. 'That sporty attire looks good on him. I wonder if they come in white. Keegan

    "Hmm. I suggest you not choose a big one if you're making stew." Marshall looked at the fish and pointed to one of them that had slightly sunken eyes. "Don't choose the ones with bulging or cloudy-looking eyes either because they're no longer fresh. It's best to avoid ones that are too dark in color too. Choose the ones that look paler and have their scales intact."Marshall paused and pointed to one of the flat carp almost the size of his palm. "Get that one. It'll be good for soup."Stella informed the fishmonger about the fish, and he said, "This young man knows his stuff." The seller then weighed the fish and cleaned out its guts. After some calculations, the carp cost 45 dollars. Stella stuffed the fish into her bag, looked up at Marshall, and asked, "Are you not getting one?"Marshall smiled and shook his head. "I don't eat fish," he said.Stella was a little surprised. "Seeing how you know so much about fish, I thought you liked them a lot.""I like to fish, but I don't eat

    After thinking about it, Stella changed her mind and asked, "Are you done with your shopping?"Marshall looked at the items in his hands and said, "I'm still short of some glassware. Do you have somewhere to be, Stella? If not, can you help? I'm not very good at choosing this kind of stuff."Stella looked at the time and realized it was still early, so she said, "Sure, that's fine. I'll pick up two pieces of glassware too.""For you and Ms. Thompson?" Marshall casually asked.Stella paused and laughed dryly, "Yeah."She was actually buying them for Keegan's new house. 'Though the mansion has been renovated, there's basically nothing in it. All of the tableware and toiletries that Aldor bought are disposable. Keegan said to wait until we're free to go shopping together since we'll move into the new place when we get remarried. Grandma mentioned that the house was in a good location that could promote a healthier marriage and possibly children. I don't get why an atheist like Keegan

    As soon as Stella met the young girl's eyes, the other party immediately stopped staring and avoided her gaze. Stella wondered why she was looking at her when Marshall asked, "What kind of glassware are you going to buy?" She returned to her senses and said, "Mugs, I suppose. You?""I need some teacups for the guests.""Don't you have teacups at home?" Stella wondered. 'Didn't he say they have a Thanksgiving dinner tradition? How in the world would they not have enough glassware?'"Our cupboard that holds the tea sets fell a while ago. Everything was broken, and no one got around to buying new ones. So...""I see," said Stella. 'How would a cupboard where the tea sets were kept fall for no reason? Did his family fight and break all the glassware?'The elevator arrived at the fourth floor, and the crowd started getting out. Marshall led Stella straight to a store that sold tea sets. The glassware looked pretty, but the prices were not since they were from imported brands.Stella l

    Stella frowned and gave the girl an unpleasant look. She pulled her cap down and said nothing. Stella realized that the girl, who was taking pictures of her, was the same girl standing next to her in the elevator. 'Maybe she recognized me when the kid pulled my mask earlier. It doesn't matter. I have to leave as soon as possible.'Stella turned her head in Marshall's direction, but he was nowhere to be seen. So, she pulled out her phone and texted him, [I think someone recognized me. I'll buy the mugs some other time. I'm gonna go downstairs and try to leave. Don't wait for me.]After sending the message, Stella handed the glassware to the cashier and said, "Sorry. I don't want these anymore." She then turned around and left. When the girl saw her leaving, she ran up and grabbed her. "You're Stella Jewell, right?"Stella broke away from the girl's grip and coldly said, "I think you got the wrong person.""No, I don't. It's you!" The girl agitatedly said as she held her phone in Ste

    The girl who dropped her phone pulled her friend away and said in a muffled voice, "Let's forget it. My phone is fine." Her friend's face looked tense as she stared at Stella.Suddenly, she rushed forward and yanked Stella's mask off just as the call to 911 was connected. "It is you!" she yelled. "Everyone, gather around! The big star, Stella Jewell, knocked my friend's phone out of her hand and refused to apologize! She even threatened us just now! Do celebrities think that they can do whatever they want and bully others?"This attracted the attention of others. The sound of a celebrity being there was intriguing, so everyone surrounded the glassware store in no time.Stella pursed her lips and was about to answer the phone when one of the girls knocked her phone to the ground. "What? Trying to call for backup?""Look, guys! This is the person who refused to apologize after pushing Bella Young down the stairs! A few netizens said she was being framed, but where's the proof for tha

    The high school student that Stella had pushed away was shocked when she saw the broken shards of glass on the ground. 'It would've been me if it weren't for her,' she thought."Stella!" Marshall's voice sounded. His face was sullen as he pushed through the sea of people, trying to get to Stella. He hastily used a handkerchief to cover her wounded head. Seeing that the cloth was soaked in blood, Marshall stared at the crowd with a cold face and said, "Who did this?"Those shouting at Stella earlier immediately shut their mouths and looked at each other. No one admitted to the assault. Then, someone said, "She deserved it for pushing Bella and refusing to apologize."Marshall's cold gaze pierced through them as he said, "Did any of you see her push Bella down the stairs? Or did the police say that she did it?"The person choked on their own words and retorted, "Why didn't she come forward and clear things up if she didn't do it? Why did she go into hiding? It's not fair. She should

    The little girl shook her head."Why did you throw the glass at her if you don't know her?" Marshall asked.The girl subconsciously glanced at the woman next to her, and the woman immediately said, "She didn't mean it. She was just too caught up in the moment."Marshall looked at her indifferently and said, "I wasn't asking you."The woman shut her mouth after that.Marshall then turned his gaze to the little girl again and said, "Please answer my question.""I... I just don't like her..." The girl said, and her eyes were red."That's not a reason to hurt someone. You should be responsible for your own actions." Marshall stood up and grabbed the child's hand. "Come on. Let's go to the police station."The girl started to panic at the sound of that. She tried to break free from Marshall's grip and sobbed, "No... I don't want to... I don't want to go to the police station... Please... I'm sorry... Don't send me to jail..." Obviously frightened, she cried as she pleaded."My sist

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
