Chapter 1597

Author: Eleven Jewell
Keegan's eyelids twitched when he heard Stella say that Marshall had a crush on her. He clenched his hands and tried to keep his composure, "Did he confess his feelings to you?"

"No... It's just that I feel that he's treating me differently. It feels more than just a regular friend," Stella replied.

Keegan probed further, "Did anything happen during dinner to give you that impression?"

Stella chose to skip the part about the close call with the car and continued, "Nothing significant. It's just that he seemed unusually concerned about me."

Stella let out another sigh, "It's so strange, Keegan. Mr. Moore is such a perfect man. Why would he be interested in me? I know how charming I can be, but I'm already in a relationship."

Keegan tried to suppress his anger, but he could not, "Are you trying to make me jealous?"

Stella chuckled briefly before saying, "I'm just teasing you. But I'm genuinely puzzled by the situation. Mr. Moore is your childhood friend. Him having feelings for me

    Stella chuckled, "Is Trevor really that unreasonable? Lately, he has been including your share whenever he sends me something. So don't go around bad-mouthing him."Keegan laughed at the sound of that, "The chairman election is next week. If I get chosen, I'll probably be busy for the first half of the year. I don't want you to be disappointed with me for being unable to travel with you."Stella lightly caressed his ear, "Why would I be disappointed with you?""I used to neglect family because of my job. I didn't even know when you fell ill."'I didn't divorce you because you were too busy with work,' thought Stella. But upon some consideration, Keegan indeed used to be overly immersed in work. He was not good at understanding people's emotions and did not like explaining himself.At that time, Stella was a full-time housewife, and being alone for too long led to overthinking. This led to various misunderstandings, which snowballed into their separation.Keegan often reflected on

    Trevor was astonished by the chaos unfolding at his father's residence, 'It looks like this matter concerning Chris is rather severe.'"By the way, don't let Stella come home for now. Things are a mess, and I'd rather not burden her with this," stated Wenham."Why are you being so protective of Stella? Are you afraid she might have made the wrong decision?" Trevor teased.Wenham snorted, his tone filled with pride, "Stella told me about the situation a few days ago. She asked if it was okay for her to fire Chris. She's much more level-headed than you and knows when to strike."Trevor was stunned. He could not believe Stella had informed their father about the problem without giving him a heads-up. In response to Wenham's smugness, Trevor decided to bring down his spirits a little."Stella won't be coming back tonight. She's not in Rivera right now.""Where did she go?" asked Wenham, taken aback.Trevor's tone was cryptic, "I thought you two were close. Didn't she tell you?"Wen

    Wenham pretended not to know about the incident, "I'm not involved in the affairs of the jewelry store. Stella did not tell me anything, so I have no idea what's going on. Please stop crying. I'm sure you don't want your children to witness you like this. I'll inquire about the situation when Stella returns. Trust me. I won't stand by her if she's in the wrong."Chris's wife, usually preoccupied with looking after the children and playing Mah-Jongg, lacked the sharpness of mind to see through Wenham's act. Moreover, Wenham's gentle demeanor and apparent lack of awareness left her uncertain. She cautiously glanced at Darcie.Darcie's expression remained stern as she addressed the situation, "Chris changed our material supplier in secret and padded his own pockets. What more is there to discuss? I've treated him well over the years. I thought he was diligent and reliable. I let him assist Stella, thinking it was a good way for him to earn some extra money. If his salary wasn't enough,

    Trevor let out a sigh, "Look, he probably fooled you.""Wh-What do you mean?" Chris's wife thought her lie had been exposed, her voice trembling.Trevor pulled out his phone and scrolled through the photo album before handing it over to her. "When Stella discovered that he embezzled money from the company, she considered he might have his reasons, so she took the trouble to check the flow of funds in his account. Turns out, most of his money went to this woman. He even spent two million dollars to buy her a property that's less than a kilometer away from your place."Chris's wife looked at the photo of the young and attractive lady and instinctively denied the allegation, "This can't be true. You're making things up!"Trevor remained calm, "Almost all of his friends know about this woman. If you don't believe me, you can take her photo and ask around."The woman was still doubtful when her daughter suddenly spoke up, "That's Cassie."Chris's wife was taken aback, "What did you sa

    Wenham furrowed his brows. "Freesia wouldn't have fussed with the kids."Darcie's face turned pale, and her heart was shattered.Wenham was about to say something else, but she had already turned around and left without a word.Trevor leaned back on the couch and observed his father's troubled expression. "Shouldn't you go upstairs and comfort her?" he casually remarked.Wenham shot him a glare. "This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you!"Trevor shrugged. "I'm just telling it like it is. Who would've thought that Darcie would be so sensitive?"Wenham was frustrated. He had little experience in comforting women. His late wife was a straightforward person. It was easy to know whether she liked something or not. She would tell him whenever she was angry.Darcie, however, was different. Although she was understanding, her temperament was far less carefree. She would always overthink people's words and come up with many interpretations. She was both perceptive and sensitive.

    Stella was momentarily stunned, and she turned to look at Keegan.He kept his gaze lowered, and his voice was soft but clear. "Even though it was you who initiated the idea of getting married on Valentine's Day, I believe that men should still be the ones to propose.""We didn't really know each other well when we first met. Our marriage started hastily, and I wasn't mature or attentive enough at that time. I failed to notice the underlying issues in our marriage back then, leaving you feeling anxious and insecure, which ultimately led to a tragic end.""I used to think that marriage was simply about two people living together. I provided you with respect and everything you wanted. I was faithful to our marriage, thinking we could just grow old together. But, later on, I realized that my feelings for you were more than that. I realized I can't live without you, Stella. I've always hoped that you'd only have your eyes on me and that your heart belongs to me," he added."I-I've been

    "You don't have to do that," Keegan leaned in and whispered in Stella's ear. "I gave you that money so that you can have a safety net. I've already hired a lawyer to come up with an agreement. With the money, you will have the right to leave any relationship in any unforeseeable circumstances."Stella was momentarily stunned. She felt a bittersweet pang in her heart. "Why are you saying it as if you would no longer be with me in the future?"Keegan gently nuzzled her cheek. "Grandma was hospitalized again recently. Although it's for the same reason, I notice she's not as energetic as before. Life is unpredictable, Stella. Who knows what'll happen? I want to make sure you're well taken care of, so I can have peace of mind."Stella understood that Keegan was thinking ahead for her sake, but such topics always left her uneasy. "Why do you always bring up things like these when I'm happy?"Keegan noticed that she was upset and changed the subject. "Let's freshen up and go out for a wal

    "Stop," Keegan playfully pinched Stella's cheek and said. "If you're being too greedy, I bet none of them will come true."Stella pouted and reluctantly complied. "Alright. I'll just go with the last wish I made." She then turned to Keegan and asked, "Where's my birthday gift?""It's closer than you think it is."Stella immediately grabbed her fork and began to search within the cake.Keegan was confused. "What are you doing?""You said it's close by." Stella did not even look up, and her face was filled with excitement. "What did you hide in the cake? Is it a piece of jewelry or a credit card? It might be a bit cliché, but I like it. Wait, where is it? Why can't I find it? Did you hide it at the very bottom of the cake?"Keegan did not know how to break the news to her. "Your gift this year is me."Stella paused and glared at him. Following that, she put down her fork and waved her hand. "Goodnight."Keegan's mouth twitched when he heard that. He stepped forward, wrapped his a

    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
