"I'm already over thirty years old. If I don't conceive now, I might never be able to. What's wrong with being a little selfish? Do you really have to treat me like this?"You said you'd only want a child with me after you've succeeded in your business. I've been waiting since graduation, and it has already been ten years now. Your company has finally gotten on track, but why wouldn't you let me have a baby?"Tell me honestly. Do you not want a baby, or do you not want me? Let's get a divorce if you don't want me anymore! I'll raise the baby myself!"...The people around them started gossiping."She's already thirty years old, yet the man is stopping her from having a baby. What a selfish man.""He must be seeing someone else now that he's become successful. Otherwise, who would not want their wife to have a baby at this age?""That's why a woman should never waste her youth on a man. I've seen this too many times. Despite all the efforts and sacrifices a wife makes for her hus
Of course, Keegan did not let go. Instead, he lifted her even higher. A smile flashed on his face as he asked in a low voice, "Why are you so scared? It's not like I'd actually drop you."Stella realized that he was just teasing her. She got angry and playfully pounded Keegan's chest.Felicity leaned out of the window upstairs and said, "Damn. Stella's really something. She actually managed to make Keegan carry her out."Vermont rested his chin on top of Felicity's head and watched the scene below with her, "Why do you think Keegan was so obsessed with her before? Your best friend is more than just something.""Hey, your brother is a doctor here, right? Why don't you ask him to find out if the child in Stella's belly is a boy or a girl?"Vermont said, "I don't think we should do that. Why do you want to know? If it turns out to be a boy, would you not want to be his godmother?"Felicity pouted, "Well, I do prefer to have a goddaughter. But if it's really a boy, I'll still love hi
"I can certainly do that, but..." Vermont paused as he looked at Felicity before continuing, "Would you want that? Would you want me to make your work famous using money?""Of course not." Felicity pouted and muttered, "My mom is going to mock me for the rest of my life if you do that."She had once proclaimed that she would become one of the most successful screenwriters ever. If she were to resort to buying success with money, it would not be any different from cheating.She wanted to earn her reputation and stand on that award podium based on her own capabilities.Vermont chuckled and placed his arm around her neck, "I know you very well. If I were to buy your script and make it famous, you'd probably break up with me straight away.""We've already broken up a long time ago, okay?" Felicity retorted as she forcefully slapped the back of Vermont's hand. "Stop pressing down on me like this! You're the reason I got shorter!""Really?" Vermont leaned into her ear, his warm breath
Aldor nodded before asking, "Mr. Kane, are we still going to the office?"Keegan rubbed his temples, "No. Drive her back to the Saun residence first."After a short pause, he added, "Call the maids at Royalpark Villa and tell them to clean the house. We'll move back tomorrow."'We? He doesn't need to do anything to win her back just because they are having a child together?' Aldor thought to himself.He looked at Stella and figured that she was not someone who would give in so easily. However, after hearing what Keegan said, she did not object.So, with a confused mind, he drove them to the Saun residence.When they arrived at their destination, Stella grabbed her stuff. Then, she glanced at Keegan before getting out of the car and said, "Come and pick me up personally tomorrow, or..."Keegan raised an eyebrow, "Or what? Are you going to get an abortion again?"A captivating smile appeared on Stella's face as she said casually, "A woman's emotions are unpredictable. Please bear
"You two would argue, but you never won. In the end, you'd always buy her gifts to make her happy," Aldor said.Keegan kept quiet again. But after a while, he could not help but ask, "Did she use some dirty tricks to make me marry her?""Not at all. You were the one who went to Mrs. Kane Sr. and said you wouldn't marry anyone else but her. Mrs. Kane had just graduated from university back then and was forced into a marriage by her stepfather. Actually, it's you who took advantage of her. After all, she's so much younger than you. Under normal circumstances, a lady like her would never be with someone of your age."Keegan was speechless."I'm only five years older than her. You're exaggerating.""That's what Mrs. Kane said, not me." Aldor could not help but laugh.Keegan became even more unhappy, "I treated her so well back then, and she still complained about me being old.""Mrs. Kane was just stating a fact and didn't mean that you're old. It's just that for someone her age get
Jaylene seemed to be in a good mood as she greeted Stella when she saw her.Stella greeted her back indifferently. When she was about to walk away, Jaylene called out to her, "Stella."Stella turned around. Jaylene smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Stella, would you pick my outfit for me?"Stella was confused.Jaylene continued, "You have a great sense of fashion, so I thought I'd ask you for some advice on what to wear tomorrow."Stella did not know what she was up to but agreed to help anyway.Wenham's relationship with Darcie was not exactly bad, so she did not want to have bad blood with Jaylene and put her father in a difficult position.So, she did not turn her down.Jaylene then led Stella to her dressing room.The dressing room that Jaylene had was the biggest one in the house.Before Stella returned to the Saun family, Jaylene was spoiled by everyone in the family and had the best of everything.For example, the room with the best lighting and the largest balcony b
However, Stella figured that she could not just brush Jaylene off after she asked for her help openly. So, she glanced at Jaylene's clothes and picked a simple, light green dress."What about this? It's not too formal or too casual."Jaylene took it and said, "You have great taste. Trevor gave this to me for my birthday last year because he knew I'm a fan of this designer's clothes. He secretly noted my measurements and had it custom-made without me knowing. I haven't worn it much since I got it."Stella pursed her lips. She did not like hearing about what happened between Jaylene and Trevor or Wenham back then.It would make her think that if she had not been taken away all those years ago, she would be the one spending the past twenty-plus years with her father and brother.Whenever Wenham looked at her childhood photos, he would sigh, wishing he could hug the young, adorable her.Stella knew that Wenham still loved her as much as he did now. He just regretted not being there d
Vermont turned to the scriptwriter, Devin Booker, and said, "She's just talking nonsense. Please don't mind her."Devin knew that Vermont was trying to smooth things over for Felicity after her inappropriate question, so he smiled and said, "Your girlfriend is pretty interesting."Vermont patted Felicity's head and said lovingly, "She's also really strong. She can fight three guys without any trouble."This surprised Devin.Felicity didn't get the answer she wanted and pushed, "Mr. Booker, do you really need to film those sensual scenes? Can a movie win awards without them?"Devin had no idea how to answer Felicity's question. After thinking for a bit, he said, "Some stories need physical actions to show how feelings change."Felicity, who had had a bit too much to drink, found that funny. "Who watches those scenes for emotions? People just stare at the woman's breasts or the man's butt.""Pfft—"Devin spurted out the water he was drinking.Vermont was left utterly speechless.
