Stella's eye twitched.Did he have to show off like that?She was about to speak when Keegan chimed in, "Luck's on your side, but hitting that 0.5% chance for twins, like us, would be even better."Stella was rendered speechless. The snide remark on her mind suddenly felt out of place.Vermont's mouth twitched. "Keegan, can't you go one day without bragging?"Keegan earnestly replied, "I can’t."Vermont audibly ground his teeth, seething internally. When the time came, he’d make sure to have a daughter and snatch Keegan's son away, then repeat it again and again, relentlessly! He’d ensure that Keegan would not be able to have grandchildren! Let's see how smug he'd be then!Marshall didn't return after leaving his seat.Jaylene's injuries hadn't healed, so she didn't show up today. Trevor left after the press conference, and her dad was a no-show all day. Without a second thought, she knew he was furious.Stella sent her dad a few photos of good wine. "Dad, these are from Kee
Wenham was getting impatient.Trevor nonchalantly removed the previous emoji and handed the phone back to Wenham. When Wenham noticed the emoji was gone, he exclaimed, "How did it disappear?"Trevor replied, "Probably just a network delay."Wenham grumbled, "This app keeps getting worse with each update!"Trevor fell silent.Wenham held the phone, typing a response to his daughter while scolding Trevor, "From now on, don't send me so many weird emojis. One slip of the finger, and I end up clicking the wrong thing. If your sister sees them, it ruins my image in her eyes, you know?"Trevor pondered to himself; he wasn't sure if it affected his image, but surely she recognized his intelligence.Wenham hesitated, unsure of how to respond. He'd have to ask his son, whom he had to bribe with prepaid phone credit. "Trevor, how can I reply without upsetting Stella but still expressing my frustration with Keegan?"Trevor suggested, "Tell her that his mom sent medicine, and he sent wine.
Stella didn't see Wenham's reply until she got home, and it brought a mix of laughter and tears.With that response, Stella felt relieved. It meant her dad, though upset, was open to reconciliation.Regarding the customization, she figured it was all about pleasing the father-in-law; Keegan would make it happen.After replying to Wenham, she turned to Keegan lying on the bed.With Aldor and the others' help, his suit was off. His tie hung loosely around his chest, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a flush.His glasses still perched on his nose, his sharp features softened.Stella leaned over and whispered, "Keegan, honey..."Keegan, a bit annoyed, buried his head deeper into the pillow. His Adam's apple protruded, inadvertently enticing.Stella reached for his glasses, gently stroking his forehead. "Honey, get up, shower, then sleep. I can't move you."Keegan groggily opened his eyes, gazing at the blurry figure. Suddenly, he hugged her, planting a ki
Keegan settled into silence, gently reaching out to touch his face, her palm moist with tears.That evening, after the successful conclusion of the press conference, they huddled together, crying for a long while.Aurora Kane crouched outside the master bedroom, ultimately lacking the courage to knock on the door.Her phone buzzed incessantly, Dahlia's messages flooding in one after the other, "Aurora, have you spoken to your brother?""I was deceived by your uncle. Family ties run deep. Of course, I can tell the difference. I can't bear to see your grandfather's legacy being tarnished like this."I never intended to cut ties with Keegan. He's my son. How could I abandon him? Stella tricked me into writing that severance letter. I knew it held no legal weight when I signed it. Who knew she'd pull a stunt like this!"Aurora, ignore the online chatter. Keegan is my flesh and blood. How could I not care for him? It's just that he's been under your grandmother's influence for too lon
The new product launch event by the Vinci Rivera Group was a massive success, with products selling out during pre-orders and Luna's test videos racking up over a billion views overnight across various platforms.Following the event, Keegan gained widespread recognition.In just three days, his Facebook fanbase soared past twenty million, and the comments section was flooded with fans addressing him as "husband," regardless of gender.Whether it was fans urging for pre-order times or asking him to post on Facebook, the demand was constant.When Keegan didn't post on Facebook as expected, some netizens started digging and stumbled upon the daily activities of Married Bachelor.Long-time followers of Married Bachelor and newcomers drawn to Keegan suddenly noticed that their Facebook posts had identical writing styles and punctuation usage. They also discovered that Married Bachelor and Keegan used the same model of phone for posting on Facebook, and even their IP addresses for posts
Stella felt a pang of guilt and replied, "I didn't mean to blame you. I was just asking."Keegan responded, "The tone of your question was really hurtful. Even now, I still feel uncomfortable reading those words."Stella was rendered speechless.Keegan wasn't just sharp in learning, but also good with words. However, he seemed to have forgotten who his opponent was.Feeling deeply sorry, Stella said, "What should we do? It's been over two minutes, so I can't take it back. Why don't you just delete me? Then, you won't have to see those words and feel bad."There was silence from Keegan for a while, perhaps taken aback by her suggestion.Stella asked, "Are you going to delete me?"Keegan was quiet.Stella pleaded, "Please, delete me. I don't want you to be upset!"They exchanged several messages until Keegan finally couldn't bear it and said, "Honey, I was wrong."Stella replied, "You were just trying to show affection. What's wrong with that? It's me who's wrong, making a fuss
Wren seemed a bit bashful, clasping her hands as she spoke in a subdued tone, "This is the medical bill for my grandmother's treatment at the hospital. Ms. Lark arranged to cover it for me earlier. It's a hundred thousand, and the password is six zeros."Stella didn't reply immediately. Instead, she set down her pen and inquired, "Where did you get the money from?"Wren remained silent.Stella calmly stated, "If this money wasn't obtained through legal means, even if I accept it, it would still need to be returned."Wren hurriedly responded, "It's nothing illegal. I applied for a consumer loan from the company."One of the perks at Caline was a consumer loan with a very low interest rate, approximately around three percent for three years.However low the interest rate might be, it still needed to be repaid, and Wren was already under significant financial pressure, making it worse.Stella lightly ran her fingers over the mouse on the desk and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid tha
The face was unremarkable, easily forgotten, but the eyes beneath the surface sent chills down her spine.Instinctively, she took a step back, accidentally bumping into a vase on the ground, making the vase emit a light sound, pulling her back to reality.Stella also heard the noise and instinctively looked at her. Wren quickly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Hall."Her voice trembled slightly, but it wasn't noticeable, and Stella didn't pick up on it."It's okay." Stella handed the signed documents to Wren. "Go ahead, it's signed."Wren took them, hugged them tightly, gave a slight bow to Stella, and turned to leave.As she closed the door, she glanced at the driver again. Sensing something, he also looked toward the door. She quickly lowered her eyes, pulled the door shut, and walked away.Wren held the documents, her mind blank, feeling somewhat lost. She clenched her hands tightly, leaving uneven creases on the papers. In a daze, she collided with someone, and the
