"Miss Xianna, you're still too immature. I don't think being a housewife is bad, nor earning one's own money is nobler. It's just the difference in one's role in marriage. My husband is the breadwinner while I take care of the household. If there happens to be a day when he no longer wants to be the breadwinner, I can still switch with him and be the breadwinner instead. I won't look down on him for being the househusband since I can still care for him." Stella followed up by switching the topic. "On the other hand, I detest NEETs that can't earn money and have to depend on their parents, yet they could be very vocal about being independent."

The jewelry shop may not be packed, yet Stella's voice was loud enough for everyone within to hear.

Most that came to the shop in the morning were housewives like Stella. Apart from housewives like Stella, who had a wealthy family background that did not require them to work for money, there were those that chose to become housewives for their c

    "Clean it properly. I don't want the things I just bought to have other women's weird smell."Stella's lips twitched, even though she did not take such childish behavior to heart."I'm sorry, Miss Xianna, but your card doesn't have enough credit."All it took was the salesperson's one sentence to embarrass Xianna and cut her temporary moment of glee short.She was at a loss for words. "How is that possible? My card should have a fifty thousand credit limit?!"The salesperson said, "I'm sorry. This jade bracelet is thirty-one million and two hundred sixty thousand dollars only after a discount. Your credit is indeed insufficient. Would you like to pay by installment instead?"Xianna's face turned ugly. 'Shouldn't a jade bracelet be, at most, around two or three hundred thousand? How can I afford that with my pocket money?'She was conflicted. Would she not be a laughing stock if she were to renege on her own words?Sophia persuaded in a soft tone, "Xianna, let's forget it.

    Xianna was infuriated. "Which eyes of yours saw that I was introduced by her?""Weren't you the one who said to gift this jewelry to Mrs. Kane? You wouldn't be here if you were not acquainted, right?"That one reply was enough to turn Xianna speechless. She pointed at the crowd, gritted her teeth, and said, "What a horrible shop this is. I'm going to expose you to the media!"She then stared at Stella and hatefully said, "Just you wait, Stella!"Stella held the check between her fingers, waved at her smilingly, and said, "Until we meet again."Sophia silently cursed Xianna for being an idiot. As she was about to stand up for Xianna, she saw that Keegan was at a spot not far away. Her heart sank, and she followed Xianna as they both dejectedly left the jewelry shop."Mrs. Kane, would you like to look at the other jewelry?"The manager politely asked.The jewelry shop belonged to Vermont, and Keegan had patronized it together with Stella a few times until the manager knew them.

    There was no response from behind, but the tug at his sleeves remained. Keegan soft-heartedly said, "Stella, stop messing around. This won't work on me."He turned around as he spoke, only to lower his gaze soon after.A little girl about the height of his thigh was pulling at his sleeve. Then, she softly said, "Mister, you're stepping on my flower."Keegan did not say a word.He lowered his head only to see his right foot stepping on a lily-shaped paper.He bent over, picked up the paper flower, squatted, and handed it over to the little girl. "Where's your mommy?"As the girl was about to speak, a man came running as he called the girl's name.The little girl's father held her hand and left after he thanked Keegan.Keegan looked around before he saw a familiar figure in the men's clothing store.He went into the shop with a gloomy face and happened to see Stella picking out neckties.The irritation that built up in his heart dissolved instantly.Stella was of two minds abo

    "Who else did you buy a gift for?" Keegan could not help but ask.Stella loved sharing her shopping haul. So, when Keegan asked her, she could no longer hold the chatterbox. She shook open the bag and showed him one by one.There was a pair of wear-resistant gloves for the gardener, a massage tool for the housekeeper, a pair of new boots for the horse trainer, and even a small hairpin for Juno.When she showed them to Keegan, Stella was so excited that she was completely oblivious to Keegan's peeved face.It was not until when there was only one box left in the bag that she recalled something. She took out that box and said, "By the way, this is for you."Keegan glanced at the box.The logo on it belonged to a branded outlet where Stella had bought a tie just now.Acting like he did not care, Keegan said flatly, "Why are you giving me a tie?""It's not a tie." Stella smiled and said, "When I bought the tie, the sales assistant told me there's a store promotion today. I just nee

    The man then turned his eyes away and smiled faintly. "Didn't you say she's your granddaughter-in-law? So, it must be her."Stella was even more confused until Marshall explained it to her. "This is Trevor Saun. The girl you saved in the restroom last night is his younger sister."Not only that, Trevor's father, Wenham Saun, was actually Keegan's late father's ex-classmate. They had been close friends.In order to get Jaylene—Welham's youngest daughter—treated for her illness, the Saun family had transferred most of the family assets overseas many years ago. It was not until recent years, when Jaylene's health had shown improvement, did Wenham thought of settling down in his homeland. Therefore, the Saun family was planning to come back to Hustuabourg. However, there were still many things to wrap up, so Trevor and Jaylene returned to Hustuabourg before the rest of the family.Last night, Trevor and Jaylene were supposed to attend that charity event together. But, something came up

    Keegan twisted the strand of hair on his fingertips and nonchalantly said, "There's a strand of gray hair."Stella looked down and saw that he really had a strand of gray hair in his hand.She was so furious that she was at a loss for words. 'Isn't he aware that this is not the right time to pluck my gray hair? What is wrong with him? Is he sick or something?'The secret squabble between the two attracted everyone's attention.Trevor looked at the two of them and smiled. "The last time we met Keegan, we were high school students. I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he had already married a smart and virtuous beauty."Stella smiled humbly, but what she thought was that Keegan finally had a discerning friend."Stella is one of the most courageous ladies I have ever met," said Marshall.He then told everyone in detail about how Stella had rescued Jaylene in the restroom last night.Stella did not find her rescue of Jaylene to be a particularly impressive feat.

    "I've been busy lately, so I couldn't pay you a visit. It's not that I don't like you. Why are you angry?""Does it understand what you said?" Marshall walked up to her at some point.Stella nodded. "Juno is definitely the smartest horse here. I remember one time I said that another horse was better-looking right in front of Juno. Then, to my surprise, it deliberately spat the water it was drinking right at me. That shows that not only does it understand my words, but it also holds grudges worse than humans!"Juno seemed to know that Stella was talking about it. So, it stomped its feet unhappily.Stella quickly changed her tone to coax it. "Be good. I was just praising how good-looking you are."Juno suddenly pivoted toward Stella. From five centimeters above its left eye, a scar crossed the eye, making it appear dim and distinct from its bright right eye. Despite this imperfection, the scar gave Juno a regal and intimidating appearance.Stella was startled by Juno's sudden move.

    Marshall chuckled, "Well, we did do silly things in school. Now, we're more mature."Stella internally rolled her eyes and thought, 'Competing in a horseback riding race just to hear one call the other big brother? Hardly seems mature for two grown men in their early thirties.'Keegan accepted the proposal in a fit of childish avidity. "Well then, you might have a new older brother today," he said flatly.Trevor smiled confidently. "Or maybe, a new younger brother for me."As the whistle sounded, the two horses shot out like arrows.However, it was not long before the maroon horse took the lead, steadily widening its distance away from Juno."It looks like Juno's vision is still affecting its performance a bit," said Marshall.Stella pursed her lips. "Juno won't lose," she said in a low, determined voice. Her thoughts added, 'especially with Keegan on its back.'Keegan and Juno were made for each other. No one would understand Juno's pride as a racehorse better than Keegan, and

    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
