Stella was shocked, "You are a sick man. Are you going to do those unethical things to a pregnant woman?"Keegan picked up their marriage certificate on the table and waved it. With a smirk, he said, "I have a valid license. I'm very ethical."She fell silent for a moment, looked up, and said, "Come on then. Let's make it quick."As she spoke, she pushed him onto the bed, got on top of him, and reached to start unbuttoning his pajamas.Keegan was not expecting that at all.He was concerned about the babies in her and dared not to make any big movements. So, he held her waist and stared at her, "What are you doing?"Stella activated her bossy yet seductive mode as she looked at him and said calmly, "You."Keegan kept quiet.Then, he reached out and gave her butt a gentle pat, "Get down. Stop fooling around."Stella threw off her top, revealing a white camisole inside. She then leaned in, pinched his chin, and whispered, "Keegan Kane, have you watched a drama called The Great Ma
"I'm not looking for anything! You were the one who teased me, saying that we should get intimate!""I wasn't teasing you," Keegan sighed. "I've always regretted not doing anything with you on the night we got married for the first time.""Me too."Keegan looked at her.Stella said, "My friend and her husband spent their entire first night of marriage unboxing marriage gifts. The entire night! Can you imagine how many gifts they received?"After I beat Jackson up and went back to my room after we got married, I was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent. I thought I could at least unbox my wedding gifts to make myself feel better, but your mom took everything, even the cash!"Keegan was speechless."Should I ask Aldor to bring you a box of cash so you could count it now?"'Why is she so obsessed with counting money?' Keegan thought to himself."Do you think that's what I really wanted to do?" Stella glanced at him, "I was just bored because my husband ran away on our weddin
Keegan's caring words left Jaylene feeling flustered.With a blush, she replied: [I'm fine. Keegan, did you take me home last night?]Keegan was still freshening up, and Stella was helping him iron his suit.It was his second time getting married, yet he was very particular as if it was his first. He rummaged through his wardrobe and found a set of red suits he insisted on wearing.Although he had said that he would only tell everyone about already getting the marriage certificate after some time, he chose the flashiest suit in his closet as if he was celebrating something.When Stella was ironing the suit for the second time, Keegan's phone rang. She picked it up and checked. Then, she put down the iron and sat on the bed to reply.Jaylene waited momentarily, and a text message came through. It said: [No, Darcie did. Jaylene, I'm very sorry about what happened last time. Darcie is right. I should've stopped you from drinking so much. I shouldn't have let you get drunk outside.]
Keegan opened his WhatsApp, and his eyelid twitched. He said, "I'd never send such long texts to anyone. Isn't this too fake?"Stella snorted, "If it was sent to Vermont, he might notice, but Jaylene definitely won't. If you were to send her a love poem now, she'd only think that you finally fell in love with her."Keegan had an incredulous expression on his face upon hearing that.Stella said, "Keegan Kane, let me ask you this. If I'm going to attend a film festival and ask you to drive me to the venue, what am I trying to do?"Keegan's eyes flickered as he said slowly, "You want me to witness the glorious moment of your career, you want to share the joy with me, and you love me.""All wrong. I would do that because it's free."Keegan's heart shattered into pieces.Then, she told him, "People in love tend to focus on themselves more, and you're the prime example of that."Keegan was speechless.Of course, he was not going to admit it. However, shortly after Stella finished sp
Vermont shared a picture in the group chat—an open cemetery with a striking red spot in front of Rainee's grave.The photo, taken from a distance, showed only Keegan's back, making him unrecognizable to Vermont. However, having been to Rainee's funeral, Vermont could pinpoint her gravesite accurately.Stella fretted that someone they knew might see Keegan in his flashy suit at the cemetery. She reassured herself, thinking it wasn't a holiday, and no one would likely be around. But the unexpected occurred.Someone at the cemetery noticed this unusual sight and posted it on Twitter.Vermont, being as nosy as ever, quickly recognized Rainee's grave right after stumbling upon that picture while browsing Twitter. So, he immediately sent it into their group chat.[What's happening? Why would someone dress like this to provoke Ms. Spade? Stella, do you want me to find this person and give him a beating?]Felicity chimed in: [Who's that scumbag? I'm going kill him!]Stella discreetly ai
Vermont was not having it. He retorted: [They teamed up to provoke me, yet you don't allow me to get angry? You're my girlfriend, be on my side.]Felicity fired back: [What did they do to provoke you? Stella was just sharing the good news with you. Look at how petty you are!]Vermont stopped texting right away.'Telling good news, my foot! Keegan was just being all fake and annoying. I've known him for ages, and I'm sure Stella was up to the same tricks!' Vermont thought, feeling really angry.On the flip side, Felicity had a different take. 'Is Keegan okay now? I was thinking of throwing a brick at his head to help him remember faster.'Stella thought about it and decided not to tell them about Keegan regaining his memory for now because Felicity could never keep a secret, and she was worried that she would mess things up for them.So, she replied: [No, he still can't remember anything now. He just doesn't want anyone gossiping about my growing belly, so we decided to get a marr
Darcie was very disappointed with Jaylene's attitude of underestimating her rival."Stella doesn't know a thing about designing jewelry either, but she turned The Velvet into a weapon. Look at it now; everyone knew it was meant to be my wedding gift to you."Jaylene was surprised, replying quietly, "Selling jewelry and making perfumes are totally different. She just got lucky. In Caline, who would respect someone who knows nothing about perfumery?"Darcie said, "Even if she got lucky, you shouldn't underestimate her. So what if you know more about perfumery?"There are many skilled perfumers in Caline. Do you think the company can't function if any of them leave?"The key is selling the products and rallying people in the company. You need to focus on what really matters."Darcie was very worried, yet Jaylene seemed completely unconcerned.She thought that Darcie was being overly anxious and that Stella could not pose a threat to her.Although Stella might have half of the comp
"What's wrong with that? He's Stella's fiancé. Why would you want to get so close to him?" said Darcie.Jaylene frowned. "This is not what you said back then. You even had Ms. Crosby try to match us up. You—""Don't talk about the past," Darice cut her off, "Back then, Stella had not returned to the Hall family, and they were still divorced, so I supported you. But now Stella is your stepsister, and she's engaged to Keegan."What will others say about you if you keep seeing him? Are there no other men in Rivera? Why do you have to mess around with someone else's fiancé?"Darcie's harsh words made Jaylene look somewhat embarrassed. Then, Jaylene bit her lip and said softly, "What if Keegan likes me?"Darcie replied coldly, "Do you think he'll fall for you just because you took care of him for a few days after he lost his memory? If that's the case, he'd also like every nurse and doctor who pulled him back from the brink of death."Even if he does, you still have to get past Mrs. K
