Jaylene hesitated for a moment, her expression subtly changing.

"The Rosaceae family isn't only roses. It's similar to how peonies and herbaceous peonies are in the same family, Paeoniaceae. Having an allergy to peonies doesn't mean being allergic to herbaceous peonies. They're separate species," she hurriedly clarified.

"Ah," Stella nodded in understanding. Then, she inquired, "Jaylene, I've noticed you seem unaffected by these flowers now. Has your asthma improved?"

After the incident earlier, Jaylene was cautious in her interactions with Stella.

'Why the sudden interest in my asthma? Is Stella trying to use it as an excuse to kick me out of the fragrance department?' she thought.

"I think it's getting better. I've never been sensitive to pollen, which is essential for working in the fragrance department," Jaylene replied cautiously.

"Is that so? We've known each other for less than a year, yet I've seen you have attacks twice, even with medication on hand. Is it really wise fo

    Hearing Jaylene's silence, Darcie raised her voice.Jaylene pursed her lips and replied, "Got it."Darcie continued, "Stella likes mangoes and cherries. Have someone send some to her office. Also, inform HR to assign a driver for her. Look after her well, and your dad will see your efforts.""Alright," Jaylene replied in disdain.She tried to bring up the matter regarding Wren with Darcie as Julia's words kept echoing in her ears.Jaylene could not swallow the humiliation. She wanted to take action and assert authority.Before she could say anything, Darcie cautioned her against stirring up trouble and quickly hung up.Jaylene bit her lip and reluctantly put away her phone, heading toward the restroom.As she approached the slightly ajar restroom door, she overheard voices inside.Someone said, "Chanel perfume and Armani foundation.

    Vermont did not answer Stella's question but looked at her from head to toe. After a moment, he suddenly chuckled and asked, "Is that a new way to make money?"Stella nodded and exaggeratedly recounted the short drama market that Felicity had told her about earlier that day."It may take long for regular dramas to break even, but not for short dramas. They don't require much investment, and the return is high. There aren't any strict regulations on short dramas yet, and the possibilities are endless."If you don't seize the opportunity now before it's too late, you might never have a chance to get a piece of this big pie."While feeding Ed, Vermont smiled. "Stella, if it's so profitable, why aren't you venturing into it?"Stella sighed. "It's not that I don't want to, but look at my belly now."Vermont seemed to be convinced by Stella's reason. He stroked the cat with his gaze lowered and asked, "It's not a bad idea, but it's difficult to find a good script nowadays."Stella sai

    Upon seeing Stella, Felicity immediately sat next to her and talked about various things, from work to life. Stella could tell that Felicity was feeling very contented.After drinking a glass of water, Felicity suddenly remembered the important stuff. "By the way, you texted me saying you wanted me to write you a short drama. What kind of short drama is it?"Stella took out the rough plot she had drafted in the office that afternoon and handed it to Felicity. "It's going to be about these character settings and storyline. Take a look and see if you can write it."Felicity read it briefly and smiled. "This is perfect, but we need to come up with another narrative style. This is too slow; audiences nowadays prefer revenge-themed stories. We just need to make some minor changes to it."She then discussed the storyline as she envisioned it with Stella. Stella nodded and said, "Okay. I feel like I'm watching it already, just listening to you."Felicity replied excitedly, "I'll stay up

    Stella froze for a moment as if she understood. But she did not.Felicity spoke even more straightforwardly, "What my mom meant was that we must have a child. If Stinky Cucumber can't give me a child, then my mom will never agree to our relationship, no matter what."She needs someone to inherit her 'throne'. I'm not up to the task, so she plans to have a little successor."Stella was speechless.'It seems like our roles are switched,' she thought. Then, she asked bewilderedly, "What 'throne' does your mom have?"Felicity hesitated for a moment before pointing at the Deron Supermart at the side. "Can you see that supermarket over there?"Stella glanced over, looked at it, and thought, 'What does one of the top ten supermarket chains in the country have to do with her mom?'Then, she heard Felicity continuing, "She founded Deron Supermart. Also, she has a lot of vegetable and fruit plantations, livestock breeding bases, various beverage and meat processing factories..."Stella w

    "What do you plan to do now, then?" Stella asked.Felicity sighed upon hearing that. "Stinky Cucumber is such a fool. I went to his room wearing a nightdress one night, and he asked me to play games with him until he fell asleep!"He's always so flirtatious with me, but he becomes so clueless given the chance. I really don't know what's going on in his empty brain!"Stella laughed as she thought to herself, 'This is so funny. Vermont is trying so hard to meet Florence and get her approval of their relationship, yet all Felicity wants now is to sleep with him.'Felicity was feeling frustrated. When she saw Stella laughing, she suddenly asked, "Stella, how do you hint to Keegan that you're in the mood?"Suddenly, Stella could not laugh anymore.But Felicity got excited. "Come on, share your experience with me so I can take Stinky Cucumber down!""... I don't have any."Felicity glared at her. "How could you get pregnant then?"Stella did not feel like sharing this with Felicity.

    Stella glanced at the bedroom door and whispered to Vermont, "Exercise more and make sure to eat more folic acid. Soon, your wish will come true."Vermont was puzzled.Then, he handed the fork on the table to Stella and thoughtfully pushed the fruit plate closer to her, humbly seeking her advice."Exercise for what? I wanted to know when I can finally meet miss bandit's parent."Stella speared a piece of apple with the fork. "And I am telling you how you can do that as soon as possible."Vermont paused before he suddenly said, "Are you suggesting that I should jump the gun so she'll have no choice but to marry me?"'Folic acid is for boosting fertility, isn't it?' Vermont wondered to himself.After a moment of silence, Stella said, "You can think of it that way if you want."She figured that she could not possibly tell Vermont that his mother-in-law was worried that he was incapable of having children, so she wanted to test him before meeting him. It would be too hurtful.Verm

    Stella sighed. "Do you have a better plan?"Felicity scratched her head. After a long pause, she said, "I'll sleep with him first, and if I get pregnant, we'll get married. Otherwise, I'll think of another way. Regardless, I'm not going to marry anyone else other than him."I don't want to argue with my mom because I want to be with him. She's raised me and suffered so much for me. Even if Vermont is incapable of having a baby with me, I'll try my best to find a middle ground."Florence was very successful in her career. That was why she had the confidence to blatantly state her attitude toward choosing her son-in-law.Stella even thought that Florence might not only want them to have a child just for the sake of it, but she might also want to test Vermont's loyalty.Vermont's anger went away just as quickly as it flared up. After Keegan arrived, the four of them had dinner together.When Stella was going back home, she texted Vermont in the car, subtly hinting that he should com

    It did not take Stella long to find out what Keegan was going to get ready for.He did not lie because apart from kissing her, he indeed did not do anything to her.However, Stella could not accept that he was doing it himself while staring at her!She had always thought that Keegan was a conservative person when it came to these things. Other than his strange obsessions with certain costumes, he would act so gentlemanly most of the time. He would never do anything inappropriate to her.After all, he blushed and scolded Stella just because she mentioned the word "outercourse".But tonight, Keegan did the unexpected; he kissed her while attending to himself.His eyes were steamy, and his movement was sensual. Stella blushed and felt very shy, so she turned her head away and stared at the clock.Keegan chuckled and said in a hoarse voice, "Stella, do you know why I like to you see in ancient costumes?"Stella's neck felt hot listening to his breath, and her head was spinning. "Wh

    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
