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.
Vermont let out a sigh. "If I did that and they turned into hits, she wouldn't believe it's because of her great scripts. She'd think it's just my connections. She might appear to be a tough person, but she actually lacks confidence in her work."Devin quipped, "Why do you treat your girlfriend like she's your daughter?""Hah!" Vermont couldn't help but boast, "When you find someone as compliant and gentle as her, you can't help but spoil them."Devin grinned and displayed a phone number on his phone. "Here's my associate's number. You can send her scripts to him. He's working on some light web dramas. It's a good chance to see how things go."Vermont saved the number, cautioning, "Make sure to give him a heads-up. We won't accept low offers."Devin laughed. "What a money-minded guy you are!"After dinner, Vermont carried Felicity's small backpack and escorted her out of the restaurant. "Time to head home, Your Highness."As Felicity stumbled, she asked, "Where's Devin? I need t
Vermont took Felicity's hand and put it on his shoulder, grinning. "Right here. I'll do it without asking for money. It's all about art."Felicity's eyes sparkled when she heard that Vermont would do it for free. She grabbed his hand and asked eagerly, "When can we start?"Vermont put his arm around her waist and whispered, "Right now."Saying that, he bent down and lifted her up.Felicity put her arm around his neck, her face red. She asked nervously, "Are you really doing this for free?""Yep," Vermont said, rubbing his nose against hers. "Just let me give you a kiss."Felicity blushed even more, partly from shyness and partly from the alcohol. She stuttered, "I-If I let you kiss me more, can I keep studying you?""Absolutely," Vermont chuckled, feeling generous. He whispered in her ear, "You can study me all night."Felicity couldn't wait any longer. "Let's head back now.""As you command." Vermont chuckled.Vermont had only teased her, but Felicity took his words seriousl
Vermont tensed, shooting a stern glare at Felicity, a clear warning for her to abandon her idea.However, Felicity, in her drunken state, couldn't grasp the significance of his expression. She gazed at Vermont's belt for a while before impulsively reaching out.In a rush of panic, Vermont leaped from the couch and dashed to the bedroom, hindered by his bound hands.Despite his efforts, Vermont couldn't move swiftly. Felicity caught up and once again toppled him to the ground.Vermont cursed inwardly.He had fantasized scenarios like this before, but this was nothing like what he had imagined!Felicity sat astride him, staring down at him, somewhat bewildered.Something new struck her as she observed Vermont tied up and unable to move beneath her. She felt a twinge of empathy, seeing Vermont's helpless gaze fixed upon her.Suddenly, she started grasping a bit about the dynamics of an intense scene."Relax," Felicity reassured Vermont, her tone soothing. "I'm just looking, that'
