One had to admit, his figure was incredibly photogenic; no wonder his fans were so devoted. As Nicole thought this, she unfolded the blanket to cover Leighton. When she pulled it over his shoulder, Leighton suddenly opened his eyes.He looked at Nicole in confusion, then abruptly woke up and instinctively pushed her away, angrily saying, "Why are you scaring people in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"Leighton clumsily grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around himself, irritated by Nicole's lack of boundaries. After a moment of silence from her, he looked up to see Nicole lying unconscious on the floor, her face pale. His expression changed.Keegan Kane received Leighton's call in the middle of the night.He carefully moved Stella Hall's hand off his chest, tucked her in, and quietly left the bed with his phone.By the time they had settled Nicole into Rotona Pinnacle Hospital, it was already past five in the morning.She had fallen ill from a combination of her injur
Leighton now saw Keegan through the lens of a brother.Keegan had helped him fix bugs in his game company, taken him to the hospital in the middle of the night, and even arranged for fish soup to be delivered late at night. Compared to Trevor, who was always causing trouble, Keegan was a thousand times better! So, when Keegan asked, Leighton spilled everything."It's not Stella, it's those aunts and uncles. After you had your accident, a lot of people started approaching my parents to introduce suitors for her, all from the capital."Leighton’s mom was famous in the capital years ago, and people still remembered her beauty. With such good genes, many wanted to marry into the Hall family.When Keegan's fate was uncertain, matchmakers started to get restless. After Keegan returned with amnesia, people openly sent profiles of eligible young men to Leighton’s parents.At first, his parents didn’t dare mention it to Stella. But after three months with no sign of Keegan’s memory returni
Keegan accepted the friend request from the other party, and "Prosperous Blossoms" wasted no time in messaging him, saying, "Young man, send Auntie your photo and personal resume. Miss Hall has high standards, and when it comes to marriage, background compatibility has always been crucial. If your qualifications are too different, Auntie might hesitate to recommend you. Even if she does, others might not find you appealing, which could hurt your pride.""Alright," Keegan replied promptly.Then he inquired, "Auntie, how many potential matches have you introduced to Miss Hall?""About six or seven, I believe," came Prosperous Blossoms' response.Remaining composed, Keegan questioned, "So, none of those six or seven have caught Miss Hall's interest?""She's still considering," Prosperous Blossoms clarified. "But those young men all have a favorable impression of Miss Hall. They found her quite likable."Keegan clicked his tongue thoughtfully, feeling a sense of pride. After all, cou
Stella marveled to herself, "Wow, he's quite something! That nose, those eyes, and that mouth seem tailor-made for me! With looks like his, he could easily rival Keegan when he was in his twenties. If there's any flaw, it's probably that he's too perfect, which gives off a slightly artificial vibe, like his eyes lack sincerity."Keegan had the kind of looks that made her fall for him at first sight, especially those expressive eyes; this one was almost there.Skimming through the resume briefly, she noted: “Skylar Sadler, 28 years old, local to Rivera, master's graduate, works at Semiconductor Technology in chip design. Isn't that Keegan's company?"Stella replied, "Auntie, please give me his WhatsApp. I'd like to chat with him."Immediately, Prosperous Blossoms sent Skylar's WhatsApp to her.A few minutes later, Keegan received a friend request, and the profile picture was all too familiar—it was his wife, who was pregnant but not entirely honest.He accepted her friend request
Stella asked, "Mr. Sadler, would you be interested in joining a singles group I'm part of? It's a community of young people, where everyone's profiles are transparent, and we can chat openly. Later, when we arrange social events, you can come along and see if you're interested."Keegan was confused. With a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" mentality, Keegan replied, "Sure."So Stella added him to a WhatsApp group named "Socializing Group Seven."Upon entering, the group flooded the chat with "Welcome, newcomer," giving him a warm reception.Keegan was pleasantly surprised and responded with an emoji. Then, the group leader—his restless wife—@mentioned everyone with an announcement.The announcement contained personal introductions of every group member, except him.As Keegan scrolled through, he noticed he was the only male among nine members, with all the others being girls, and everyone worked at Caline.While Keegan was still processing this, girls in the group had already
Feeling overwhelmed by the female spirits of the group and unwilling to lie or provoke his wife's ire, Keegan opted for honesty and spilled the beans about the entire situation.Stella's expression turned stern. "So you believe I'm secretly going on blind dates behind your back? That’s why you added me on a fake account, trying to catch me cheating?"Keegan promptly refuted, "Absolutely not! How could you ever doubt me?""Then why did you use a fake account to deceive me?"Keegan whispered, "Aunt Jacobsen mentioned you added seven or eight blind date candidates, and I was just curious why."Impatiently, Stella retorted, "What else could I do? Didn't you see? I'm contemplating replacing you!"Keegan, acknowledging his fault, softly apologized, "Stella, I genuinely didn't doubt you. I was just envious. Your uncle and aunt suggested so many blind date candidates for you, and I realized they don't favor me much. It hurt my feelings."Stella's anger was calmed by his admission, espec
"I don't, but Aldor does. Initially, he found all the blind date candidates for your brother. Whether they were teachers, doctors, or civil servants, he had them, all the types that are popular in the blind date market."Stella's eyes lit up. "Then ask Aldor to find some for me. Between the ages of 25 and 35, no history of marriage, stable job, decent appearance, just send them all my way! Once it’s done,' I'll give Aldor a big red packet!"Keegan, with a smirk in his eyes, replied, "I'll talk to him later."Aldor Hart, who inexplicably kept sneezing while making amendments on a document for Aurora Kane, suddenly felt a foreboding sensation creeping up his spine. He suddenly felt the urge to take a vacation.Glancing at the time, Stella whispered, "Wait for me after work today. I'll take you somewhere."Keegan asked, "Is it for my birthday?"Stella exclaimed, feigning annoyance, "Oh, come on! You're unbelievable! Even if you know, at least pretend you don't! There's no sense of a
This question was indeed quite bold, especially after Wren had "betrayed" her.Stella understood why Wren didn’t pursue the issue when she stood up for her. For a girl with no background and a seriously ill family member, this job was crucial. If she didn't accept the olive branch offered by Darcie Arnold, she would be seen as ungrateful, and her future in the company would become increasingly difficult.Stella knew Wren had her reasons, but she couldn't help feeling hurt. She wanted to say, "What does that have to do with you?" but seeing the cautious look in Wren's eyes, she couldn't help but remember the time she found Wren crying in the bathroom because she couldn't afford her grandmother's medical bills.Having experienced such helpless moments herself, Stella couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh. However, she wasn’t ready to forgive Wren easily either, so she responded with a cold "Hmm."Wren's eyes dimmed. She seemed to want to say something else, but the elevato
