Chapter 1873

Author: Eleven Jewell
The closet on the east side of the master bedroom was filled with lingerie.

Some of them were bought by Stella, while others were gifts from Keegan.

Only the two of them knew about what was in the closet. It was clear what Stella was insinuating.

The sound from the other end of the line made Stella's heart skip a beat. 'C-Could he...'

"Could you please be a bit more careful?"​​

Keegan's voice on the other line was calm and indifferent. It sounded like he was talking to someone else.

Meanwhile, in Cordelia's home, Aldor looked at Keegan with confusion as he picked up the phone from the ground. He blinked at his boss after being scolded.

Keegan shot him a glare, and he jolted, saying, "Apologies, Mr. Kane..?"

Stella, who had been expecting something else, instantly became disheartened. 'Did I overthink it?'

Keegan glanced at Aldor with satisfaction and said, "Get out."

After sending Aldor away, he asked, "What did you say about the closet in the bedroom just now?"

    Darcie hesitated for a moment. She was sure Trevor had taken it before she let go. 'Did he do that on purpose?' she thought.Thoughts of the plane crash filled her mind, and she was about to speak when a voice from afar interrupted."What's happening?"Wenham had just finished paying his respects to his late wife. He was startled when he heard the commotion and walked over to see what was going on."I accidentally dropped the oats I made for Stella," explained Darcie. She then turned to Trevor, saying, "I'm sorry, Trevor. I thought you had it. Did you get burned?"Trevor glanced at her inquisitively, withdrew his gaze, and said, "It's okay. It's just a shame Stella can't taste your food now."He looked at his sister affectionately and said, "Sorry, sis."Stella chuckled, "I think I've had my fill of Darcie's cooking for now. I couldn't have finished that bowl of oats anyway. Let's take the broken dish as a sign of good luck."Wenham joined in, "Agreed. I'll have Sandra clean it

    Stella's words were a clear, undisguised jab at Jaylene's previously feigned illness during the family reunion​​.Jaylene's face turned pallid with anger. "You—"Possibly anticipating another impulsive remark, Darcie finally intervened, "Stella, the essential oil you have isn't made from roses. I detect scents of sandalwood, chamomile, and wild orchid, but not roses."Stella hesitated, furrowing her brows. "That's not right. They specifically told me it was infused with roses. I bought it because roses are my favorite."Trevor's eyelid twitched. 'Huh? Wasn't she obsessed with sunflowers?'"Some sellers might intentionally claim certain ingredients to boost sales, especially in the field of fragrances. Ordinary users find it difficult to discern the exact additives, making them vulnerable to deception. You can come to our company next time you want some essential oils. Tell me the fragrance you desire, and I can personally help you create a blend," Darcie replied softly.Stella sm

    Stella recalled the days spent at the Saun family home. Watching Wenham's tender care for the pot of roses, she noticed his demeanor softening. 'Was he seeing those roses as reminders of someone he lost long ago?'"Dad originally planned to build a greenhouse in the yard for them. He wanted to plant more roses, but then Darcie had an allergic reaction. So, he put that idea on hold," Trevor shared.Stella gave a wry smile. "That's quite the coincidence, isn't it?"​​Her skepticism lingered. Rivera's temperature rarely dropped below minus four or five degrees. Roses aren't that fragile. They shouldn't have perished after just two days of frost, even if they were a cultivated breed.Of all the flowers, Darcie was allergic to the roses that Freesia loved so much. The issue did not seem entirely coincidental."Trevor, why did you deliberately knock over that bowl of oats when we were downstairs? Did you find out something?" Stella asked in a low voice.Trevor shook his head. "I'm not

    Stella recalled the post she made to scare Keegan.She was surprised to see Marshall at her house. 'Why isn't he celebrating New Year's with his family?' she thought.However, she found it impolite to send him away, as he was already at the door.Stella took the wine, thanked him, and smiled. "I just reposted someone else's picture for fun. I assumed that not many people would check their social media on New Year's.""I just finished work and saw your update, so I thought I'd drop by and see you."Stella was about to ask how he knew she was at the Saun residence, but then she thought about the previous post. She was afraid that Keegan would not be able to find her, so she shared her location. It was understandable that Marshall would know where she was."You're working on New Year's Eve?" Stella was surprised. "Is the law firm that busy nowadays?"Marshall chuckled and shook his head. "Not really. Everyone's on vacation. I just didn't feel like going home. My aunt is there."St

    Keegan was perplexed. "Not really. Why?""Well, your ex-wife had prepared quite the surprise for you," said Vermont.Keegan's eyelids twitched. "What the hell are you talking about?"Vermont snorted. "Trevor just posted a picture of Marshall at his house in the group chat. Don't you know what that means?"Keegan furrowed his brows, and his face darkened."If your ex-wife is with Marshall, will the child she gives birth to have your last name or his? When the time comes, should we congratulate you or him?" Vermont added.Keegan gritted his teeth. "Shut your mouth!""Tsk. This is serious. I don't earn money easily. Plus, my wife will likely control my spending in the future. I have to keep track of everything and reciprocate—"Keegan hung up the call before he could finish.Vermont smirked and texted Felicity. [Miss Bandit, wanna watch a show?]Felicity, who was also bored on New Year's Eve, quickly replied, [What show? Did you book the entire theater for Stella? How many movie

    "What gives her the right to criticize my mom? Mom took care of you when you were in school, yet your wife is the one who gets all the benefits. How dare she judge my mom? What kind of a person is she?" said Felicity."If it weren't for your incessant calls, annoying my mom, and forcing me to come over every New Year, do you think I'd show up willingly?" she continued."I've said what I needed to say and had my meal. Please don't contact my mom from now on. I can see that you're doing well, and my mom is doing well too. She hasn't remarried, not because she has no suitors, but because she doesn't want to encounter a jerk like you!"After venting, Felicity was ready to leave."Stop right there."She turned around, intending to return the money her father had given her. However, a figure rushed toward her and gave her a strong shove. Felicity stumbled and awkwardly fell to the ground.She was in so much pain that her face turned pale.Her half-brother had pushed her. Shocked by th

    Vermont chatted with Felicity for a while, gradually learning about what happened that night. He felt a sense of heaviness in his heart, and he reached out to pat her head. "You must take me with you next time. Your brother only bullies you because you're short. Let's see if he dares to do anything with me around."Felicity snorted, "Well, I did give him a shoulder throw. They should know that I'm—ouch!"...that I'm a powerful woman."Vermont held her up and whispered, "Stop talking. Just rest and save your energy."Felicity closed her eyes. "Coming to the hospital to roast my butt on New Year's is truly embarrassing.""At least it's not hemorrhoid surgery," Vermont chuckled."Get lost!"Vermont stood up and said, "I'll go get you some water.""Kay."Once Vermont left, he knocked his head and thought, 'Damn! She's so fair!'Meanwhile, Darcie had just finished cooking the pierogies when Keegan arrived.Trevor opened the door, saw Keegan, and gave him a once-over. "Did the gas

    Stella chuckled, "Maybe next time. It takes a few hours for the gelatin to set. How about chicken noodle soup? We have some chicken soup left.""It's all the same if you're cooking. I look forward to tasting your creation," Marshall replied warmly.Keegan snorted and muttered, "He's both ignorant and fearless, hah."No one else heard what he said, as his voice was soft and the TV was blaring.However, Stella was standing behind him and vaguely caught something. So, she asked, "What did you say?"Keegan paused momentarily and said, "I said it lacks vinegar, seasoning, and taste."'Was that really what he said?' Stella pursed her lips and observed him for a few seconds before she headed to the kitchen.Since Marshall had spoken, she did not want to ruin his mood on New Year's Eve.Once Stella left, Jaylene took the opportunity to sit next to Keegan and poured him some tea.Marshall glanced at Keegan, who was eating with his head down. He did not display any particular reaction t

    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
