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
"Of course not. It can't be changed once we stamp it," The staff returned their IDs to them and continued, "Well, why not come back tomorrow? There's no rush anyway. Change into some nice clothes and come back for another photo session tomorrow."Keegan did not respond to that. Instead, he asked, "Can we use the same photo from our old certificate?"Stella was puzzled."Sure, but we don't have a copy of that. We can use them if you have the copies."Keegan replied, "I have the copies."Stella's initial confusion turned into surprise.Then, she coughed and reminded Keegan, "Didn't you lose your memory?"Oops!Keegan froze and finally realized what he had just said. After a long pause, he said, "I saw the photos when I was transferring data to my new phone."Fortunately, Keegan was able to keep up with his lie.He then forwarded the photo to the staff. After that, the photo was printed on the marriage certificate and was stamped.Stella looked at it and could not help but say,
Vermont replied, [I don't mind getting married right now if she wants to. But, she's a few years younger than me, so she's not in a hurry to get married. I'm the one who can't wait. As someone with experience, do you have any advice for me?]Keegan responded, [Just go with the flow. It's something that can't be rushed.]Vermont rolled his eyes and typed, [Did you text me just to tell me this?]Keegan replied, [No. I just wanted to ask how many kids do you plan to have?]Vermont rested his chin on his hand. [I haven't really thought about that. It depends on Miss Bandit. If she wants one, then we'll have one. Of course, having a son and a daughter would be ideal for me, but I don't want her to suffer the process of pregnancy twice.]Keegan agreed. [It'd be great if they could give birth to two babies. Then, they'd only have to suffer it once.]Vermont laughed, as he replied, [Hahaha. Do you have any idea how low the chances of having twins are?][I looked it up. The probability o
