Ruby was in the final year of her university and would be graduating very soon. She was two years younger than Aurora yet appeared much more mature than her.The way she spoke and acted was very similar to Olivia, showing great courtesy.When they were walking over from the reception, Ruby called out to Stella. "Aunty Stella."Stella choked. "What did you just call me?"Ruby was taken aback. "My mom told me to call you that and even specifically reminded me about it."Stella did not say anything.'It has been so many years, yet she's still holding a grudge about it!' Stella thought to herself.Ruby then said in a warm voice, "My mom is getting her makeup done. Would you please follow me to see her?"Keegan, who was holding her hand, did not let go.Stella patted the back of his hand and said, "Mrs. Chapman ordered a set of jewelry for the bride. I haven't given it to her yet. Felicity will come with me. You should go ahead and find a seat."Keegan pursed his lips, let her han
Dahlia watched their interactions and spoke, "Stella, today is a big day for Olivia's daughter. Don't cause any trouble here. Everyone saw that you didn't hold it properly. The goods are damaged before the customer can have them, so that's your problem. You better not affect someone else's wedding over such a small amount of money. The consequences are not something that you can bear."Felicity got even more angry. "Cut the crap. Stella had her back facing you when she handed the box to Olivia. How could you possibly see if Stella was the one who dropped it? Are you sure this is a small amount of money? Maybe this is a small amount for you because you've taken a really big amount of money from Keegan."Dahlia's expression turned ugly. "Who do you think you are? You need to keep your mouth shut.""I—" Felicity was about to curse at her.However, before she could do that, Stella cut her off. "Ms. Crosby, if you want to do Mrs. Chapman a favor, you're free to pay up on her behalf. Eve
Felicity's gaze widened. "Damn, this is outrageous. Mrs. Chapman used to treat her so well.""Mr. Chapman treats Mrs. Chapman very well too, but things just happen."Mrs. Chapman did everything she could for her husband and daughters, yet that was how Mr. Chapman repaid her. It's just impossible that she would swallow this humiliation and continue working together with Dahlia."Stella paused and lowered her voice. Then, she added, "Besides, didn't you notice?"Felicity followed suit. "Notice what?""Mrs. Chapman's daughter had red eyes as if she had just cried. Mrs. Chapman's eyes looked the same too. She might not be happy with this wedding. But, when Dahlia was praising the Adam family, she didn't retort at all."Felicity did not understand what Stella was trying to say. "To be fair, her daughter will not be living with her anymore. It's perfectly normal for them to cry, no?"Stella was taken aback and realized that what Felicity said somewhat made sense."I can't put everyth
Everyone at the table shifted their gaze to Keegan upon hearing that.Kayla had only returned to Mark two years ago.Keegan could not remember anything after meeting Stella. Logically, he should not be able to know who Kayla was.When Keegan said that, it did not raise any questions in anyone's mind. However, with what Marshall said, everyone began to wonder how Keegan could remember who Kayla was.Keegan kept his eyes down and remained silent. He looked very calm as if nothing was wrong.However, Stella, who was sitting beside him, put her cup down harshly on the table. Then, she looked at Keegan with a cold face. "It's fine that you remember Felicity, but you remember Ms. Wilson, too? Have you just conveniently forgotten about me? Keegan Kane, is this a joke?"Keegan was taken aback.'What...'Based on how she would always act, shouldn't she be asking if I have recovered my memory?'Why is she getting angry instead?' Keegan wondered to himself.Stella did not mention that s
Vermont could not help but spurt the tea in his mouth all over. He coughed for some time as his face turned extremely red. However, he still teased Felicity, "If my name is Doggy, does that make you Bitchy? It doesn't sound too bad. We can call ourselves the Night Howlers, and our children can be called Cute Puppies. What do you think?"Felicity's face turned red from anger, "Only your children will be called puppies!""Yeah," Vermont smiled. "You'll be the one giving birth to them for me."Felicity punched him. When the two started fooling around, the atmosphere at the table became much happier. Keegan took advantage of the situation and pulled Stella closer, whispering, "Please don't be mad at me, okay?"Stella glanced at him, pursed her lips, and sat back down. Then, she "reluctantly" said, "I'm only staying because I don't want to ruin someone else's wedding."Keegan lowered his eyes, seeming to chuckle. He continued softly, "Thank you, Coach Hall."'Coach Hall...'Stella su
Marshall phrased his words perfectly.For someone as meticulous as Marshall, how could he be so careless and say that he "forgot" Keegan had lost his memory?Stella put down her cup and looked at Marshall.He sensed her gaze and turned to meet her eyes.Stella smiled at him with a gentle expression.Marshall's eyelashes trembled slightly as his expression immediately softened.Keegan noticed their interactions, and his gaze darkened. Then, he subconsciously held Stella's hand under the table tighter.Stella paused, lifted her other hand, and lighted scratched the back of his hand. He abruptly pulled his hand back, looking uneasy."Tsk," Stella clicked her tongue.'What a coward. He's pretending to have lost his memories, yet he can't contain his jealousy. I bet he's very angry right now.'As she thought about it, she reached over again and pinched Keegan's thigh.'Wow. So muscular!'Keegan was startled and stood up abruptly, causing the table to shake.Everyone else looked
"Unfortunately, the retirement age has been changed now. When it's our turn to retire, we'll probably be sixty years old by then. I might not even receive my pension before I kick the bucket. I can only get a portion of what I contributed to the pension scheme all those years. It's pretty sad to think that after working so hard for so many years, I'll be gone before even I can enjoy them."So, after thinking about it, I've decided to get married after thirty-five and preferably have a child after forty. By the time my child is twenty and heading to college, I'll be officially retired and too old to be walking around, which means I won't have to babysit my grandchildren and still get to enjoy my pension. It's not that bad, right? Even if I don't live to sixty, the money in my pension account can be passed on to my child. They won't go to waste," Felicity added.Vermont's lip twitched, "Why do you care so much about your pension?""What? Without it, how am I supposed to get money when
After going upstairs, Stella caught a glimpse of Aurora's figure flashing across the walkway.Stella needed to use the restroom badly, so she did not care much about it.Meanwhile, Aurora held something and waited for a long time, but Dahlia was nowhere to be seen. She kept glancing at the time, feeling a little uneasy.'Is Mom simply drawing me away because she wants to do something bad to Stella?'Mrs. Chapman and Mom have a good relationship. If Mom were to do anything at the wedding, Mrs. Chapman could help cover it up,' Aurora thought to herself.She became restless upon thinking about that. She turned around, intending to leave. Just as she pulled the door open, Dahlia stood at the entrance, about to come in.Seeing Aurora wanting to leave, Dahlia paused and stared at Aurora. "Where are you going?" she asked."Nowhere." Aurora took a step back and said in a low voice, "Mom, you told me to be here, but you haven't come yourself. I thought you had something else to do, so I
