Chapter 1838

Author: Eleven Jewell
Despite claiming to have lost his memories, Keegan was still a good kisser. Within moments, he left Stella completely weak, her eyes filled with tears.

"Feeling like cursing, still?" Keegan's nose brushed against hers, their breaths merging.

Although Stella felt powerless, she refused to concede defeat. "You jerk!"

Keegan chuckled, and his chest vibrated slightly, his eyes radiating an irresistible tenderness.

Stella's heart raced as she clenched her fists. "What's the meaning of this?" she asked in a stern voice, referring to the kiss.

Keegan glanced at her and replied, "Didn't you mention wanting to build a connection with me?"

Stella felt stunned. She clenched her jaw and persisted, "And you thought kissing me was the way to do that?"

Keegan reached out and lightly rested his hand on her lower abdomen. "Considering we already have a child together, I thought we could move forward a bit quicker."

Stella gritted her teeth, "So, following your logic, should we jump straight int

    Keegan was stunned to hear that Stella was drinking vinegar.Stella slid a cup toward him and said, "Try it. The vinegar arrived last night. Go on and see if it has the right kick."Keegan waved it off. "You enjoy."Stella smirked and brought it to her lips, taking a sip.Since her pregnancy, her palate had evolved, steering away from the spiciness she once favored to a penchant for sweet and sour flavors. However, her doctor recommended she cut back on sweet treats to ensure a healthy weight for the baby.Hence, Cordelia had a friend make some homemade fruit vinegar that carried a subtle sweetness and a strong fruity fragrance. Stella tried it for the first time today, and it suits her tastebuds perfectly.As Keegan finished putting on his shoes, Stella called out to him once more, "My brother is returning tomorrow."Keegan halted, asking, "What time is he arriving?""He mentioned catching a flight tonight and reaching tomorrow morning. He said he'd get in touch with me before

    Leighton had had another argument with his father, and what made matters worse was that it all happened on his birthday. They didn't even enjoy the cake that day.

Seeing an opportunity to mediate and alleviate the father-son conflict, Stella decided to go there.As Stella headed upstairs, she overheard Aurora conversing on the terrace. She thought about the strawberry pudding from last night that she hadn't given to Aurora.Planning to inform her about it, Stella approached and overheard Aurora saying, "I found an opportunity, too, but I can't make it too obvious. You know how cunning Stella can be. If I'm too

    "Stella, I'm about to board the plane now. I should arrive around ten tomorrow morning. I've checked in some luggage, and you'll see the rest when I get back," Trevor's voice fought against the wind, clearly audible through the phone."Alright, have a safe flight. I'll be there to pick you up tomorrow," Stella responded warmly.Trevor hesitated for a moment before calling her name, "Stella...""What is it, Trevor?" Stella sensed there was something he wanted to share. However, after a brief pause, he decided, "Let's talk about it when I'm there. It's not the best moment for it over the phone.""Okay."Stella ended the call and tightened her grip on the steering wheel. She anticipated that Trevor might have uncovered some details from the past, but the extent remained unknown."Oh my God!" Felicity suddenly exclaimed.Stella was startled. "What?!"Felicity hit her forehead and said, "I forgot to block my mom! She just liked my latest tweet.""What did you post that's so scandal

    Not long after, Stella finally arrived at the Motives for Murder roadshow. Felicity and Stella sat in the corner of the audience, watching as the host invited the creative team onto the stage one by one.Nicole, the other main actors, and the director came on stage first. After a brief introduction, Leighton made his entrance.Perhaps due to some prior engagement, he arrived looking slightly disheveled, but his popularity was undeniable. The moment he stepped on stage, a wave of excitement swept through the audience, mostly comprised of his fans.Stella and Felicity found themselves amidst the cheers, nearly deafened by the fans' screams.Leighton was dressed in a black suit with a white undershirt. He had broad shoulders and long legs. Standing there, he looked unbelievably handsome.During promotional roadshows, interviews usually revolved around movie-related topics, followed by some fan interactive segments.Leighton's top-tier status as an idol wasn't just about his looks; i

    Leighton's eyelid twitched as he ignored Nicole's absurd accusations. The reporter attempted to extract more information from him. However, Leighton remained tight-lipped, only responding to questions related to the movie. The journalist had no choice but to steer the conversation back to the film.After a while, the interview concluded. Leighton walked over to Stella, saying, "Hey, let me head to the restroom, and we can grab a meal together later."Felicity seized the opportunity to get an autograph and gave him a thumbs-up. "You did great, Leighton!"Leighton chuckled and headed to the restroom. Stella and Felicity sat in the lounge, waiting for him.Shortly after, Nicole entered, handing them each an orange. She winked and said, "We're at a movie press conference, yet the lead actor is sitting in the audience?"Stella chuckled and joked, "That's because I don't want to be overshadowed by your radiance on stage."Nicole laughed, "Well, aren't you sweet? Why did you quit The En

    "If you're looking for trouble, do it elsewhere. Don't take up the corridor," Leighton declared, releasing his grip.Following that, the woman found herself sitting on the ground. Looking up, she found Leighton's formidable presence and stern countenance daunting, but her words became even more malicious."Are you also this woman's lapdog?" she sneered. "Do you genuinely believe she appreciates you just because you've been intimate with her? Let me assure you, she's fixated on her brother."She avoids kissing men and despises their touch. She just finds you somewhat attractive and is fooling around with you. When she gets tired of you, you will be no different than her exes—""He's my boyfriend," Nicole interrupted coldly.Her words left everyone shocked. Even the woman was taken aback. She forced a laugh and said, "Do you think I'd believe that?"Nicole remained silent. Suddenly, she put her arm around Leighton's neck and kissed him.Leighton stiffened, attempting to push her a

    The people present shifted their attention to Nicole. She reached for the band-aid, her gaze lowered. "We can be in a fake relationship. You help me navigate this crisis, and I'll pave the way for you in the industry. Six months down the line, we can release a statement citing irreconcilable differences and part ways amicably. What do you think?"Leighton's expression darkened momentarily. "What makes you think I need your help to get into the industry?"Nicole responded calmly, "Despite your soaring popularity, you've only recently entered the entertainment scene. Those scripts won't fall into your lap without the right connections. Unless, of course, you're willing to seek assistance from your father or cousin."Nicole knew exactly how to rile up Leighton. His family disapproved of his chosen career, and he was adamant about making a name for himself without their support.Leighton gritted his teeth and retorted, "I am where I am today through my own efforts!"Nicole raised her

    Nicole pressed on, "Soon, the internet will catch wind of our relationship during the roadshow. If you disagree, how do you plan on setting the record straight? You didn't exactly push me away during that incident."Estelle's expression darkened. "Are you trying to threaten us? Leighton didn't resist your advances because he wanted to help you."Nicole nodded. "And I appreciate that. I believe there's no better solution than I've suggested for our current predicament."She then turned her gaze toward Leighton and said, "If your aim is merely to sustain your current level of popularity, I can release a statement saying that today's incident was a publicity stunt and that I was the one who put you up to it. You can continue being the idol adored by fans."A moment of tension lingered. Estelle sensed the potential trouble. Nicole seemed to have a knack for subtly manipulating situations.Leighton valued his fans but genuinely disliked the burden of being labeled a top star. The conce

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
