Chapter 1979

Author: Eleven Jewell
Aldor spoke gently. "Ms. Saun, you didn't have to. It's my duty to take care of Mr. Kane since I'm on his payroll. I'm afraid that I don't deserve a gift for simply doing my job."

Jaylene said, "Consider it a gift from me on behalf of Keegan. It's just a small gift. Nothing too expensive."

Aurora could tell that Jaylene was trying to build rapport with Aldor. After some thought, she said, "Jaylene already said that it's for you, so just take it already. What? Your dignity is suddenly worth a fortune?"

Aldor was speechless.

'She's definitely just taking her anger out on me,' he thought to himself.

Aldor stopped refusing after what Aurora said, so he thanked Jaylene and took the gift bag.

"Ms. Saun, Mr. Kane is done with his meeting. I'll take you to him."

"I'll come too," Aurora stood up and said. "I have something to discuss with him. Jaylene, let's go."

Jaylene's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. 'Guess I wasn't wrong about her being thoughtless, huh?'

    Fortunately, Stella did not fall.She heaved a sigh of relief. When she was about to stand up and apologize to the person, she heard a sardonic voice. "Are you trying to take advantage of me in this dark place?"Stella got goosebumps all over and immediately jumped up.Spencer leaned back in his seat and looked at Stella with a smile. "Miss, you're blocking my view," he said slowly.The audience in the back row shouted, "Don't just stand there. Sit down. The movie has already started."With a tense face, Stella opened her phone to check her seat number, but unfortunately, her seat was right next to Spencer's.Coco pulled Stella's hand and looked at her with a widened gaze. It was as though she was asking her why she was not sitting.Stella took a deep breath and sat Coco down between her and Spencer.The opening credits were over, and the movie had started. Stella could feel Spencer's piercing gaze on her without having to turn her head.Then, she calmly pulled her cap down.

    In the movie, the stage lights shone on her face, while her entire body remained in the shadows as if it was trying to tell the audience something.The scene then rewound to thirty years ago, and it focused on the hands that poison the roommate.The hands were large with popping green veins, and there was a yellow female headband on the wrist. It was identical to the ones that the girls wore during their final dance on stage.Then, the movie ended abruptly.As for who the culprit was, the movie left it to the audience's speculation.The cliffhanger immediately made the audience discuss who the culprit was. Some said that it was Ralph, who was played by Leighton because the hands looked like they belonged to a man.Others thought that it was Georgia, who was portrayed by Stella because Stella's hands were not small in real life.Stella could not help but lower her head and glance at her hands.'Are they really that big? They're okay, I guess,' she thought to herself.However, t

    Stella was dumbfounded.Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Spencer felt somewhat better. He was not a substitute as he had thought before.Before he could say anything more, Stella spoke, "No. Who gave you the confidence to think that you can be as handsome as Keegan?"Spencer's face instantly turned red in anger."Are you blind? How am I any less handsome than him? Not only that, but I'm also younger than him. The number of women swooning over me could populate a small country!"Stella could not help but laugh, "If you're so confident, why are you so desperate to compare yourself to Keegan in front of me? To me, no one in this world can be better than him. You're just embarrassing yourself here. Instead, you should just ask your girlfriend whether you or Keegan is more handsome. She'll undoubtedly choose you without hesitation. It's the same thing."Spencer snorted, "I just can't stand the fact that you think an old man like him is better than me!"Stella's eyelid twitched, "

    Stella stroked her chin, realizing that Coco was actually very good at socializing.Spencer liked Coco very much. He took her hand and left the screening without saying anything to Stella. Stella could not stop them, so she got up and followed them.On the same floor of the cinema, there were many things for children to play with, such as claw machines and arcade games.Coco rarely came to a place like this. She found everything amusing, making her want to try everything.Stella took out her phone, intending to buy some tokens for the arcade games. However, just as she was about to pay, Spencer stopped her and beckoned a staff. After hearing what Spencer said, the staff nodded and quickly retrieved a stack of tokens.Stella was puzzled, "Do you own this place?"Spencer scoffed, "I paid for all your expenses even before I started making money; how could I let you spend on anything now?""I have a husband," Stella said."Just shut up," Spencer retorted.Stella kept quiet and sta

    Stella felt a surge of panic. 'I'm dead meat if Keegan catches me hugging Spencer, especially right after we got our marriage license. I'd rather face death than his wrath. Why does every encounter with Spencer lead to trouble? He's like a bad omen!' she thought, her mind racing.Stella awkwardly pushed Spencer away and was about to call out to Keegan. But then her attention was diverted as her gaze darted toward him and Jaylene, who offered him a water bottle.Speechless, Stella's thoughts whirled, 'Great. We just got our marriage license, and here is Keegan, sneaking out to watch a movie with Jaylene. How's he going to explain this one?'Catching Keegan's intense stare, Jaylene turned and spotted Stella, who was inconspicuously close to a strikingly handsome man. "Stella?" she blurted out, turning to Keegan in disbelief. "That's Stella over there!"After her outburst, Jaylene scrutinized Keegan's expression closely. His face was a mask of cold indifference, his eyes gleaming with

    Stella watched Jaylene, a mix of surprise and respect brewing inside her. Despite the harsh confrontation at the Saun residence, where Stella had slapped Jaylene, she still conversed calmly with Stella in front of Keegan. This was an unexpected show of tolerance.Stella knew Keegan was charming, so she did not understand his slow progress in extracting vital information from Jaylene. Her concern for his wellbeing grew. So, when Jaylene proposed they all dine together, Stella readily agreed, "Sure. We were planning to grab a bite anyway."However, Keegan declined, "I have to pass. Work's calling at the company."Their exchanged glances spoke volumes, both puzzled by the other's intentions.Stella offered a smile, "If you're tied up, don't let us hold you back. Spencer and I will keep Jaylene company."Keegan remained stoic, his thoughts wandering, 'Spence... I recall Vermont using nicknames for his high school girlfriend. Such terms are vague, yet so personal from those bygone days

    Stella fought back her laughter, carefully avoiding Jaylene's gaze to maintain her composure. She found herself torn between amusement at Keegan's straightforwardness and bemusement at Jaylene's naivety.Having been a frequent visitor to the Kane residence, Stella was well aware of Keegan's deep affection for Coco. A wiser approach for Jaylene would have been to endear herself to Coco, as winning the child's heart was as crucial as winning over Keegan and his family. Competing with a child was, in Stella's eyes, a futile effort.Stella eyed Jaylene's carefully chosen attire, deducing her preference for Joplonese cuisine. Jaylene's self-consciousness was apparent. She always strived to present her best self to Keegan. Yet, Stella knew that perfection was not the key to a lasting relationship. It was about embracing each other's strengths and accepting their weaknesses.Keegan, who is experienced in dealing with various personalities, would likely be unimpressed with insincerity.Mea

    Spencer, unfazed by Stella's request for drinks, flashed a smile and casually asked, "Enjoying the meal? How about we add a few drinks to the mix?"Stella shot back, "Ever the chatterbox, aren't you?"Jaylene, displaying genuine concern, frowned at Keegan, "You really shouldn't drink, Keegan. You're still recovering. Alcohol and cigarettes are the last things you need right now."Keegan responded calmly, "It's fine. I'll just have a few drinks with Spence."Spencer did a double-take. Surprised, he thought, 'Did he just call me "Spence"?'"Please, Keegan. Think of your health," Jaylene implored, her worry evident.Keegan replied with warmth, "I'll go easy then. Why don't you drink a bit more on my behalf? I owe a lot to his family. They were there for me during tough times."Feeling a sense of inclusion in Keegan's circle, Jaylene could not hide her satisfaction. She glanced at Stella, whose mood seemed to sour further, and quickly agreed, "Since it's your request, I can't say no

    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
