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
Jaylene felt a bit perplexed. Darcie had been adamantly against it before, and the two had argued over it countless times. Suddenly, a sense of relief washed over her, and Jaylene even wondered if she had misheard.After a while, she realized what had happened and exclaimed joyfully, "Mom, are you really okay with this?"Darcie replied impatiently, "What's the point in me opposing? Have you ever listened to me once? You practically treat me like an enemy!""Mom, are you really not tricking me?" Jaylene asked again to confirm.Darcie sighed, "What parent can outsmart their child in this world? Look at how tangled up you've gotten over Keegan and still refuse to stop. What else can I do?"Jaylene hugged Darcie, brimming with joy. "Mom, it was all my fault before. I just love Keegan too much. You can rest assured that as long as you don't oppose me loving Keegan, I'll listen to you from now on."Darcie gently patted her back, her eyes clear. "Don't get too excited yet. Remember the
After reaching out to several sources, Jaylene finally received an update: the watch wasn't available in stock, but if she didn't mind waiting, it could be obtained in seven days. However, there was a chance to acquire one sooner; a customer in Bostown wanted to return a watch today, so if she needed it urgently, she could opt for that one.Bostown was just a short distance from Rivera and could be reached by tonight.The manager on the phone informed her, "You're the second customer today inquiring about this watch. Lacey mentioned that you're her good friend, so I'm prioritizing your request. If you're ready to make the purchase, I'll arrange to obtain the watch for you immediately."Curious, Jaylene asked, "Who was the other person inquiring about this watch?""Sorry, Ms. Saun, we respect the customer's privacy and can't disclose that information," the manager replied.Without much thought, she knew it must have been Stella.Feeling a sense of satisfaction, Jaylene thought to
