But Keegan did not seem to have any strange reaction at all. 'I should've switched to video call just now. It's hard to tell anything from just hearing his voice,' Stella thought to herself."Come and get them yourself," Stella said calmly. "I'm an actress, after all. What's going to happen to my career if others find out that I'm living with a man?"Keegan retorted, "You've made numerous headlines with Marshall. Why do you care about this?""That's all made up by the media. I can clear things up any time I want. But, if my place is discovered to have a man's clothes and family planning supplies, my pure and innocent image would be shattered. Do you know how much loss I'd suffer? I'm not trying to risk my career here."Keegan's eyelid twitched, and he could not help but say, "You were married previously, and you still expect others to see you as pure and innocent? Aren't you just deceiving your fans and audience?""So what?" Stella leaned lazily on the couch. "Isn't that what all
Felicity was shocked. She quickly put down her utensils and rushed after Stella.Stella had not eaten anything for the whole day and had only gone wine tasting with Marshall earlier. That was why she could taste some alcohol in her vomit.Felicity stroked her back, as she vomited. "I told you not to drink so much because you haven't eaten anything. Do you think you're still young?"Stella vomited for a while before she finally took the water that Felicity handed to her.After rinsing her mouth, she frowned and said, "I didn't drink much. Don't you know my alcohol tolerance? That was nothing to me.""You already threw up. Stop acting tough."Stella put down the cup and asked while washing her hands, "I suddenly felt nauseous after smelling the fishy odor of the chicken soup just now. Did you forget to wash it?""That's impossible." Felicity was not going to let anyone question her cooking skills. "The chicken was carefully prepared, and I even seasoned it before cooking."Then,
Those who understood it would know that Keegan did that because he cared for her. But those who did not might start assuming things, especially with what was happening between him and Chandler. She could not guarantee that other people would not make up stories about this. She did not want other people to gossip about Keegan because he decided to get a vasectomy."You two are overthinking it," Stella came up with a story. "I was very weak back then, and the doctor told me that I had to restore my health before planning for a pregnancy. So, we've been extra careful. It's not possible for me to be pregnant."Vermont said casually, "Condoms are not 100% percent effective, even on your safe days."Felicity thought about something and asked, "Stella, have you gotten your period this month?"Stella paused and said, "For now, it's late by five days."Then, she added, "I caught a cold earlier, so it's perfectly normal. Besides, a five-day delay isn't really anything."Felicity's expressi
"Am I a baby machine to you? Dream on!"Vermont rubbed his calf and laughed quietly for a while before speaking in a gentle tone, "Didn't you ask me to buy some? I did something wrong, and I will do everything I can to make up for it. I don't dare disobey your orders."Felicity was almost fooled by his smooth talk again. She glared at him and said, "I told you to stay away from me too. Why did you disobey that?"Vermont paused and completely ignored Felicity's words. Then, he turned to Stella and said, "Stella, you should get tested now for your peace of mind."Felicity immediately switched to Vermont's side and added, "Yeah, don't be too sure. What if you're really pregnant and harm the baby because you're not careful? It's better to be safe than sorry."Stella could not argue back, so she took a box of it and went to the washroom.Felicity sat upright on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the direction of the washroom.Vermont was amused by the way she looked as he leaned over and as
Felicity felt somewhat frustrated when she thought about all these experiences coming from flirting with other women.She used to think that people with no experience in dating should be with someone just like that. But as someone who had never dated, she had not expected to fall in love with someone as experienced as Vermont.Vermont was a smooth talker and a cunning person; she was an innocent, straightforward person. How could she possibly deal with someone like him?Rationally, she should carefully consider her relationship with Vermont. But emotionally... she did not want to be rational. With just a few words, Vermont could easily shake her principles.Felicity pushed Vermont's hand away and said uncomfortably, "It has nothing to do with you. I'm trying to lose weight.""But you're not fat at all. Being too skinny isn't healthy."Suddenly, Felicity realized that after getting together with him, she had gained seven to eight pounds because he just would not stop praising her.
Felicity was in a state of confusion. She had no experience in using pregnancy sticks either. So she flipped through the manual while simultaneously looking it up on Google."It says here that a weak positive could be a sign of early pregnancy or biochemical pregnancy. As long as there are two lines, the probability of pregnancy is high. If you're skeptical, you can wait a couple of days and test again or just head to the hospital," said Vermont.Felicity immediately hugged Stella in excitement, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! You're going to be a mom! And I'm gonna be a godparent! Ahahaha..."Stella was still trying to wrap her head around the situation. She reached out to stop Felicity, who was bouncing around, "Can you check if these pregnancy tests are expired? There's no way I'm pregnant."Keegan had a vasectomy. It was unlikely that Stella could get pregnant."Why not? I bet your excitement is clouding your judgment," Felicity said. Still, she pulled out the pregnancy test
"Keegan asked her to go," Trevor stated, adding to Stella's pain.Stella turned over in bed and said, "He's adamantly claiming he doesn't know me now. He won't appreciate it if I show up. I don't want to be a spectacle for Jaylene.""Aren't you afraid they might develop feelings for each other? Keegan doesn't remember you, after all."Stella paused, looking up, "Trevor, did Jaylene tell you how she found Keegan?""She said she found him on the shore three miles away from where you two had your accident. Keegan was out cold for half a month before waking up."Stella bit her lips and asked, "Do you believe her?"Trevor did not give her a direct response, "It's been too long; any evidence by the shore would have disappeared by now."As the truth could not be confirmed, they had no choice but to trust Jaylene's account.Thinking about the pregnancy test she took last night, Stella suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Trevor, can you help me prepare a gift? I'm going to visit a patient a
Stella's words were veiled with sarcasm. Referring to someone as second-hand was undeniably offensive.It triggered a defensive response from Keegan, "Who do you think you are calling someone second-hand goods?"Stella paused and said, "Not you, obviously."As Keegan felt more at ease, Stella continued, "Second-hand goods are those that have been rejected once. Since you've been dumped twice, that categorizes you as third-hand goods."Her response left Keegan at a loss for words."Stella, what's going on between Keegan and me is not what you think—""What is it then? Tell me."Jaylene clenched her fingers and said, "I-I just want Keegan to recover quickly. That's all.""Strange. Does he recover faster with you around? Are you a doctor? Do you have some miraculous potion that can help him?"Jaylene did not know what to say, her face turning red. Having a somewhat somber appearance, she became even more pitiable when aggrieved.Seeing this, Keegan frowned, "Did you wake up on t
