"Let me stay and help you. I won't cause you any trouble," Aurora said.Keegan looked at her with his deep gaze. After a long pause, he said, "I promise you. Can you come down now?"With shaking legs, Aurora sat on the railing. Keegan got worried again. "I've already promised you. What else do you want?"Aurora's face turned pale as she said in a hoarse voice, "I can't climb back in..."Keegan and Stella were both left speechless.After getting Aurora down, Keegan scolded her for a long time.Stella stood on the side, silently observing everything.She figured that if Keegan had been stricter with Aurora when she was younger, maybe she wouldn't have acted this way.In the end, Aurora still stayed there.After she went back to her room, Keegan explained to Stella, "It's too late today. I'll have someone send her back tomorrow.""It's okay. She's just worried about you. Let her stay here if she wants."Stella was unexpectedly understanding.Keegan was also a little confused b
Stella chuckled, "He wasn't wrong. I did play terribly in the last round. I got carried."Felicity chuckled, "Why don't you turn on the team voice chat? His voice sounds so good. He even asked me about The Enclosure previously."He said that the production is starting soon yet he didn't hear anything about you. He wanted to visit you on the set.""Stop joking," Stella said while playing, "He's still in school. He should focus on studying instead.""Just listen to his voice. He won't know it's you anyway. Look at your game ID—HereToDie. Who would choose such a name? He would never guess it's you in a million years."Stella was successfully convinced by Felicity and decided to switch on the team voice chat.Very soon, the guy's voice came through, sounding innocent and sweet.He was full of praises for Stella. As soon as he realized that she was a girl, his attitude took a big turn, offering Stella all the help he could give.Stella was not very good at the game and would get kil
Keegan watched helplessly as the mattress was moved to Aurora's room.He roamed around the house with an angry face and found that the only place he could sleep was the couch in the living room.That was his room, and two other maids were living there. How could a grown man like him sleep on the couch?He paced back-and-forth outside the master bedroom. He extended his arm to the doorknob several times but could not bring himself to twist it open.As he hesitated, the door suddenly swung open. Stella, dressed in her pajamas, leaned against the door frame, arms crossed. She glanced at him and asked, "You've been standing there for over half an hour. Are you going to sleep with me or not?""I'm not going to sleep with you," Keegan corrected her."Ah, sleep in the same room as me," Stella clarified.Then, he explained, "Aurora moved the mattress from the study to her room, and I have nowhere else to sleep."Stella raised an eyebrow.Keegan pressed his lips together before saying,
Jaylene frequently spoke negatively about Stella, citing instances like Trevor distancing himself from Jaylene after Stella's return, Wenham's inclination to give Stella her room, and an incident involving Stella replacing expensive decorations with cheaper items.At that time, Keegan hadn't perceived Stella's actions as inherently wrong. Instead, he harbored a peculiar sensation—a strong urge to meet her face-to-face.One day, when Jaylene wasn't present, he ventured out in a car.Despite not knowing what Stella looked like, the instant he laid eyes on her, he recognized her immediately.That day, Stella stood outside the Vinci Rivera office building, dressed in formal attire with her hair elegantly tied back. She had come out to bid farewell to Ted and the others.Her face boasted exquisite features. Despite the makeup, the weariness in her eyes was evident.She appeared completely distinct from the person Jaylene had portrayed as frugal and grasping.She was like a blooming r
Keegan wasn't certain if Stella possessed knowledge about perfumery, but he could sense her dedicated efforts to compensate for any shortcomings.While flipping through the pages, he noticed a name in the notes. Pausing for a moment, he returned the book to the bedside table and sent a text to Aldor, "Call someone for me..."As Keegan concluded his conversation with Aldor, Stella's phone began buzzing persistently.Her phone screen was still lit, showing the gaming interface with a private message from someone.Though Keegan had no intention to pry, his eyes inadvertently caught a message that appeared: [Hey pretty, can I have your number?]He paused and opened the chat window.The message was sent by someone with the game ID—HusbandOfStella.It instantly triggered Keegan's memory of the youthful voice he had heard when Stella was playing the game moments ago.He pursed his lips tightly together, struck by the realization.After not getting any reply, HusbandOfStella sent Stel
Keegan stared at his phone for a while before answering.On the other end, a head of blonde hair appeared. The teenager was still fixing his hair, attempting to create what he considered a cool look.However, when he looked up, he saw a mature and attractive man on his phone, leaving him dumbfounded.He opened his mouth, and his voice changed, "Pretty lady?"Keegan looked at him coldly, "Is there something wrong with your eyes? Can't you tell a man and a woman apart?"The teenager was taken aback by Keegan's comment."Mister, were you talking to me with a voice changer in the game just now?"The teenager looked frustrated, "I couldn't tell at all! How could you have the heart to lie to an innocent teenage boy like me?"Keegan said with a stern face, "Did you just call me old?"The teenager paused and immediately realized what he had just said, "No, you're young and handsome!"Keegan's expression eased slightly.The teenager seemed not to care whether he was lied to or not. I
"I'll just change it."The young man continued reluctantly, "Fine, you win today. We'll play again tomorrow. I'm sure I'll beat you.""Just change it already."The teenager stopped responding for a while. Then, Keegan saw that "HusbandOfStella" had changed its ID to "CurrentHusbandOfStella".Keegan's eyebrows twitched, "Are you being serious right now?"The teenager said innocently, "You told me to change my ID, but you didn't specify to what."Keegan pulled a stern face and remained silent.The teenager laughed and said, "Bro, you're already so old, yet you're still so obsessed with your idol. It's just my game ID. Are you really that jealous?"After hearing the word "jealous," Keegan suddenly realized the strange things he had been doing that night. Instead of answering his question, he asked, "What do I have to do to make you change it?"The teenager smirked, "Play another round with me. If you win, you can decide on what my next game ID will be."Coincidentally, Stella ha
The waiter spoke very impolitely but his tone sounded like he knew that woman. Trevor sat afar but could still hear a few derogatory words. The woman looked embarrassed, likely understanding what was said.Trevor watched their interaction for a while before walking over, "Hello, are you Ms. Taylor?"Venice Taylor turned around, saw Trevor, and looked somewhat surprised and cautious, "Who are you?"Trevor said calmly, "The person who wanted to meet you."Venice paused and scrutinized Trevor. Then, she widened her gaze, "Are you the little boy from back then?"Trevor did not respond to that. Instead, he gestured for her to follow him and said, "Let's sit and talk."Venice felt uneasy. She then followed Trevor hesitantly to a private room.Other than Trevor, there was a foreign man in the room. He looked expressionless, but his robust physique made him look scary.Venice could not help but put her guard up."Ms. Taylor, please have a seat," Trevor said flatly. Venice clutched the
