Stella hesitated briefly, then Keegan whispered something in her ear, and she didn't object anymore.

When Felicity faced difficulties in Rivera, Stella provided considerable help. Florence, Felicity's mother, always remembered this act of kindness. So, when Felicity requested funds to assist with Rainee Spade's medical expenses, Florence promptly transferred a million without hesitation.

Keegan had overheard Vermont mention this and kept it in mind. Without fanfare, he redirected all procurement for the Vinci Rivera Group's subsidiaries, holiday gifts, and partnerships with supermarkets to Florence’s company, Deron Holdings.

Florence was loyal and principled, but she was also a savvy businesswoman. She would quickly deduce the origin of these orders and understand that her daughter's friend, from a prominent family in Rivera, was quietly supporting her business. She wouldn’t hesitate to return the favor, nurturing a mutually beneficial relationship. It also boosted her daughter's re

    Initially, Stella thought it was accidental, so she stepped aside on her own. After the model car circled around her once, it "accidentally" bumped into her foot again.She frowned and glanced upstairs. The second floor was empty, with no sign of Keegan.When she was angry, Keegan really got on her nerves. She thought, "You're not content with teasing me yourself; now your darn machine has to join in too?"Deciding she'd had enough, she stood up, grabbed her jacket, and went out for a walk. To her surprise, that oddly shaped model car tagged along.Wherever she went, it followed like a little puppy, and Stella was thoroughly annoyed. She wanted to kick it away, but then she remembered it cost more than her handbag, so she forced herself to endure.Finding a seat, she sat down. The contraption then used its mechanical arm to place a bottle of water at her feet.Stella glared at the ugly contraption, lifted her hand, and tossed the bottle away. The "ugly thing" turned around, actin

    The bottle was adorned with a circle of dots and dashes. Stella wondered where he had found such an ugly bottle.She drank the water, tossed the bottle away, and after her temper had cooled a bit, she bid farewell to the kids and headed home.Upon her return, she noticed Keegan sitting upright on the sofa but didn't acknowledge him. She went straight for a shower and then to bed.In the dead of night, someone suddenly reached out and touched her waist. Stella jumped, raised her hand, and slapped out.Her hand landed on Keegan's head, prompting him to cry out in pain, "What are you doing!"Stella shouted even louder, "That's what I should be asking you! What are you doing? Acting like a hooligan in the middle of the night?"Keegan's expression shifted unpredictably. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you drink that bottle of water?"Stella was taken aback. "Did you drug me?" So he came in the middle of the night to be her antidote?Keegan's expression turned s

    The "ugly thing" was a creation personally modified by Keegan. Stella remembered when he first completed it; Keegan used it to fetch a package for her via remote control. As he handed it to her, he carefully watched her "surprised" expression, finally curling his lips with a proud look.It was something Keegan loved, treasuring it so much that he would personally wipe off any dust that settled on it. If he had been there, he certainly wouldn't have wanted the "ugly thing" handled by these rowdy children.Perhaps her words were too direct, as the relatives all wore somewhat displeased expressions.Dahlia felt even more offended by her words, instantly changing her expression, "Even if it's repaired, it's still spending the Kane family's money. There's no reason for you to get involved!"This was quite an insulting remark, completely not treating her like family. Stella's expression turned sour, but she stood her ground.The relatives probably thought things had gotten ugly and soon

    "Stella."Keegan turned to look at her, his throat tightening as he struggled for words. "When did you order it?""Probably when you stayed up half the night, sneaking into the storage room to check on the 'ugly thing'," Stella smirked. "I thought to myself, poor thing, like a little puppy. So, I thought I'd pamper you."Keegan chuckled, but tears welled up in his eyes.He reached out and hugged Stella tightly, remaining silent for a long time, though Stella could feel him trembling slightly.She gently patted his back, lightening the mood. "You don't have to be so touched. I used your money, remember? DC is such an old fox; he asked for an exorbitant price."Keegan was speechless.After the emotional moment, Stella spoke softly, "Back then, when your mom said the thing was broken by me, did you ever doubt me?"In reality, it was Dahlia who first told Keegan about the "ugly thing" being smashed, but according to Dahlia, Stella was the culprit.Keegan didn't pursue the matter t

    Stella was completely taken aback. She smiled at Keegan and asked, "How did you even come up with such a method?"Keegan appeared slightly uneasy and took his time before responding, "Wasn't there a trend online about romantic gestures from science students? I thought I'd give it a shot."Vermont chuckled, "Haha, trying out your science-student romance in front of us liberal arts folks? Good thing you didn't use this to confess your love, or else you'd be stuck with me for life!"Felicity remarked, "You're a bit of a slacker academically, so of course, you wouldn't get it. Stella's a top student; this is top-student romance."Stella quickly waved her hands. "No, no, I won't get it either."Afterward, she worried about when Keegan might pull another "romantic gesture of a science student" on her and cautioned him, "I don't like these science student romantic gestures. I prefer the tycoon-style romance."Keegan paused for a moment, still not reacting. Vermont jumped in, "Instead of

    Keegan suddenly felt nervous and uncertain.When he first learned Stella was pregnant, he simply thought their family would welcome two children who shared his blood. He felt a responsibility to love them and guide them into adulthood, but the connection felt abstract, lacking the natural bond mothers have from carrying a child for nine months.It wasn't until this moment, feeling the movements under his palm, that he truly sensed these two lives. They were his flesh and blood, intertwined with his beloved's, carrying their hopes, destined to enter the world and grow up in his care, calling him "dad."In an instant, Keegan's heart softened. He leaned closer to Stella's abdomen and whispered softly, "Hey, Daddy's here."As if in response to his touch, the little ones inside her settled down.Keegan looked up at her and asked, "Do you think they heard me?"Stella was about to say, "At this stage, what could they hear?" but seeing Keegan's gleaming eyes, she softened as well and sai

    Keegan grew serious, "Isn't it too risky for you to go there?"Stella replied, "Shea is smart. She used Dillon's phone to contact the former dean. I can visit her on behalf of the dean.""I'll come with you then.""It's your birthday. Stay here and enjoy yourself. I'll go alone."Keegan sighed, "I can't relax here without you. Come on, I'll drive."When they reached the hospital, Dillon Brook had already been taken to the emergency room. Shea Cheel was outside with her son, visibly relieved to see them."Shea, how is she?" Stella asked as she approached."She hasn't regained consciousness yet. The doctor said she passed out from the pain. When she collapsed, water was still boiling in the kitchen, and she suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. I didn't know initially. Bo won an award at school today and wanted to show it to Grandpa. When we knocked on her door and got no response, I felt something was wrong. I asked the management to open the door, and we found her unconscious

    Stella agreed.Before long, the doors of the operating room swung open, and the patient was wheeled out. Stella and Shea approached."Doctor, how is she?" Shea asked.Glancing at them both, the doctor inquired, "Who is the patient's family?"Shea replied, "I'm her neighbor, and this gentleman is a foreigner. I don't know her family."Stella stated, "I'm representing the welfare home where she made donations."The doctor explained, "The cancer has spread extensively. She has at most three months. Please contact her family as soon as possible. Although surgery is no longer beneficial, she requires regular medication adjustments. Without intervention, her pain will be severe, and her final days will be agonizing. Please reach out to her family promptly."Handing them a form, the doctor added, "Please sign this first."Glancing at the form, Stella suddenly noticed the word "male" under gender. She paused, "Doctor, she's a man?"Giving her a strange look, the doctor cautioned, "Don

    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
