Chandler ignored Cyrene's words and said in a low voice, "Stop making a scene. Wait for me in the car."Cyrene grabbed his shirt and said sharply, "I said you're not going! Does she not have children to help her? Why are you even here?""Would she still need to call me if Keegan and Aurora are willing to come? I'm sure that she has no other options."Cyrene was furious. "Why are you helping her if even her children don't want to? Even if they don't come, she still has her brother. Who do you think you are?"Chandler's expression turned unpleasant momentarily, "Why are you saying things like this? Isn't Dahlia a part of our family too? Do you think our family's reputation won't be affected if something happened to her?""So, you do care about the Kane family's reputation, huh?" Cyrene sneered. "Do you know exactly what happened tonight and why she was arrested then?"Chandler frowned. "Regardless of what happened, we can't just leave her alone, right?"Cyrene explained, "Erick Ch
Cyrene took out a marriage certificate from her bag and said, "Sir, this is just a misunderstanding. "He's my husband and those are all my nephews. They specially arranged this surprise party for him. "He's just causing a scene because he's afraid of getting drunk tonight."Chandler's face turned red in anger. "She's talking nonsense!" he said with his jaw clenched.The police officer glanced at him, looked at the marriage certificate, and returned it to Cyrene. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Move the cars away. Don't block the entrance.""Yes, sir. We'll leave right away." Cyrene apologized and turned around. The smile on her face disappeared as she opened the car door and got into the front passenger seat. "Let's go," she said in a cold voice.In the back seat, Chandler was sandwiched between the two nephews who had served in the military. Whenever he tried to move a little, he would be pinned back down on his seat.Chandler had never felt so embarrassed in his life. H
Aurora paused momentarily before calling out softly, "Mom..."Dahlia choked up as she spoke, "Aurora, I didn't mean to treat you like that just now. I was just too angry that you stood on Stella's side and lied to me, so I did that. "You know I've always loved you and gave you the best of everything. "When you were locked up back then, I did everything I could to get you out. You can't leave me alone."Aurora lowered her gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, I can't help you. Keegan won't let me do that."Dahlia continued to plea, "Are you just going to watch me get locked up here without doing anything then? Do you know what it's like in here? "There are seven to eight people here together, has no beds, smells terrible, and has no heater too. "I'm freezing cold now. Aurora, my body is weak, and I can't stand this at all. Please help me."Aurora pursed her lips. "I know what it's like in there. Mom, you'd better control your temper. "The people inside are not to be messe
Aurora was a little scared that Aldor would ask about what happened, but he unexpectedly did not. This included the incident back at the hotel and what Dahlia had said to her on the phone.As Aurora was still cleaning her makeup, her stomach growled.Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.She had been worried all day about what Dahlia would do to Stella at the wedding, so she had not eaten much. She only realized that she was hungry when her stomach growled.However, at that moment, she felt embarrassed more than hungry.Aldor did not say anything. Instead, he took a lunch box from the side and handed it to her.A strong aroma of eggs filled the car, leaving Aurora stunned.Aldor said, "My mom made some egg sandwiches for you. They might be a bit cold, though. If you don't want it, I can take you somewhere else for a meal.""It's fine." Aurora took the lunch box, lowered her gaze, and softly said, "There's no need for that. This is good enough."Aldor rolled down the window
Stella quickly moved her hand away and said with a frown, "Why are you inside my blanket?"Keegan sat up and was taken aback upon hearing what Stella said. "Take a good look at whose blanket this is."Stella looked at the blanket and fell silent.Then, she quietly rolled out of Keegan's blanket, grabbed her own, and covered herself again."I don't usually sleep like this." Stella tried to explain herself. "It's probably because of the pregnancy. The little one inside is acting up."Keegan got out of bed and took off his pajamas. Then, he grabbed his shirt and said while buttoning up, "It's okay. Didn't you say that we should work on our physical connection? I understand."He raised his gaze, as he spoke. "You can just ask to sleep under the same blanket next time. No need to beat around the bush."His response left Stella utterly speechless.'He needs to stop accusing me!' Stella said inwardly.The past few days had been strange for Stella. Even though she had been sleeping in
"Aldor picked this flower too, right?" Stella touched the petals and said, "Aldor is so good with flowers. Look at how fresh they are."Keegan could not hold back anymore, and he exclaimed, "I bought the flowers!"Stella looked at him. "Why did you buy them?""I—" Keegan looked away, as he said, "I saw a little girl selling flowers alone, so I bought all of her flowers out of pity."'This scum! He just keeps on lying!' Stella cursed inwardly.Then, she scoffed, "No wonder they're not fresh at all. They're all leftovers, huh?"Keegan was shocked.'When Aldor is the one buying them, they're fresh. But, when I buy them, they're not?'Keegan glared at the bouquet, plucked a flower petal out of frustration, and got into the car without speaking to Stella.Stella was amused. His acting skill could be considered convincing when he was around others, but when they were alone, he would display his true emotions all over. To Stella, his acting skills were simply terrible.The hospital
The doctor gave Stella a new diet plan and reminded her to control her sugar intake.With the increased risk of carrying twins, it was important to strictly control the rate of fetal growth. Smaller and healthier fetuses would lead to a smoother delivery process, and a quicker recovery for the mother afterward.Keegan took out his phone and diligently noted down all the doctor's instructions.Stella was listening to the doctor carefully too. But, when she went to get some water, she saw Keegan's serious demeanor while typing on his phone and found it somewhat amusing.His stern expression made him look exactly like a secretary jotting down meeting notes. No one would have thought that he was writing down notes of the doctor's instructions.Keegan was still holding Stella's hand when they came out of the doctor's office.However, Stella just let him do it without mocking him for acting as if he had regained his memories.She could feel the mixed emotions of excitement and concern
With a tense expression, Stella hesitated for a while before she said, "Fine."Then, she clutched her chest and thought to herself, 'Damn it. I need to stop being so soft!'However, when she saw Keegan's sparkling puppy eyes, she suddenly felt as though Keegan was more spineless than her.Keegan said in a low voice, "I'll give Aldor a call, then."Stella cleared her throat and said, "I'll call Trevor."Then, she walked to the side and dialed Trevor's number."Trevor, are you busy right now?"Trevor replied in a gentle tone, "Not at all. I'm just having drinks with my friends. What's up?"He seemed to have stepped out of the private room, as the noise on the other end of the phone instantly went away."It's nothing." Stella then cautiously asked, "Trevor, are our family's residency registration documents with you?"Trevor did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Why do you ask?""Do you remember when Keegan transferred a property under my name back then? I want to get
