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
"I'm fine," Cordelia responded."Are you sure? You didn't allow guests when Keegan was still missing. Baldwin mentioned you couldn't get out of bed. Is that true?"Cordelia chuckled, "I'm sure you know the truth behind that, Stella."Stella's heart sank immediately. It seemed her suspicions were correct; Cordelia had been confined at that time.The question now was whether it was Chandler's decision or if Chandler and Dahlia had conspired together.Before Stella could say anything, Cordelia made a hushing gesture and put on the gloves, saying, "Didn't you talk to Keegan when you arrived?"The mention of Keegan naturally evoked thoughts of his present connection with Jaylene, causing a twinge of discomfort in Stella's heart."He has company. Why would I want to talk to him? He'll just say something hurtful, and I'll get mad."Cordelia sighed, "Not only does he not remember many things, but his temper has also changed a lot since he came back. It's hard to say whether this is a b
Cordelia paused and looked at Stella, who had a strained face and a rigid expression."Alright, then. Take Stella along with you. She just mentioned that she hasn't seen Juno for a while."Stella was confused; she had not said that. She stared at Cordelia in disbelief, 'She's so good at creating opportunities.'Keegan hesitated for a moment and glanced at her with impatience, "Come along, then."Stella could not believe the look on his face, 'What a scumbag. Does he really think I want to go? Forget it. There's no point in engaging with someone illogical.'Imitating Jaylene's tone, Stella sarcastically said, "Sorry for the trouble, Keegan."Keegan and Jaylene did not say a word.The horse trainer was grooming Juno as the group approached the stable. Juno became restless when it saw them, pacing back and forth, almost impatient.Juno was taller and more robust than other horses. Those unfamiliar with horses would feel an overwhelming pressure just standing close to it.Jaylene
