Stella was dumbfounded. 'Why didn't the sugar seal your mouth shut then, if I put too much sugar? Ugh, whatever. I should just put up with him since I'm the one who is asking him for something.'

She smiled apologetically, and with a good attitude, she said, "Noted. I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time, so I must be getting rusty."

Sure enough, Keegan's facial expression looked better after that.

Stella then took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Kane, us having this divorce is like us getting married. We have to choose a date. You see, we got married on an unlucky day. As a result, our marriage didn't go well, and we couldn't make it to the end. So, we have to pick a good day to get divorced so that our previous marriage won't fetter us, and we will be able to find new love. I've checked the dates; the 21st, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 31st of this month are all good days to get divorced. Should we just pick one from all the days I just mentioned?"

    'Ugh, that's gonna be so embarrassing. Do I really want that?" Stella wondered to herself. 'I mean, it's pretty clear Keegan was cheating on me. If I stick around and some kid walks up to him, calling him "Daddy" one day, I'll be a laughingstock in Rivera.''I have to go through with this divorce, no matter what!' She's expression changed as she thought about it."Listen, Mr. Kane, your divorce will be a big deal for Rivera, won't it? If we just announce it without any warning, it'll affect the company's stocks and everything. That's not good, right?"Keegan asked, "What are you trying to say?""I mean, let's wait a year before announcing the divorce. That way, we can avoid some of the fallout. What do you think?" she said.Keegan stared at her without saying anything, looking upset.Stella's heart started beating fast. "Is that too long? Maybe we could announce it after eight months?" she whispered.Keegan's gaze turned cold.Stella said, "I-I think... six months is too short,

    Keegan was in his office, looking out the window on the twelfth floor when Aldor knocked on the door. "Is she gone?" Keegan asked as he saw Aldor coming in. Aldor nodded. "Did she say anything?" Keegan asked again.Aldor didn't know what to say at first, but then Keegan said, "Well? Don't take forever. Tell me, did she say anything?"Aldor gulped and said in a low voice, "She asked me to apologize for not rinsing the beef liver earlier."Keegan froze. Although Stella actually did clean the liver before cooking it, she purposely told Aldor that to get back at Keegan for not keeping his promise.Her mood improved when she thought of how disgusted Keegan would be for eating the "unwashed" liver she had prepared. 'He probably wants to down some bleach right now,' she said to herself. However, her happiness did not last long, as joy turned into sadness when her Uber was rear-ended from behind.Stella was a bit scared of driving since the last time she got rear-ended on the overpass. So

    Only then did Stella recognize the man she had met on the rooftop of Rotona Pinnacle Hospital. She shook her head in response to his question.The pregnant woman's eyes turned red with anger. "You bitch! Do you think I'm scared of you now that someone has come to your rescue? Try me!" Stella wanted to respond, but Marshall stopped her.He took his phone out and said, "I have proof of you hitting her on my phone. Although you'll only be sentenced to a minimal crime punishment because you're pregnant and you have nothing to fear, what do you think would happen if I put this on the internet? Do you think people would let you go just because you have a baby in you? Your child is going to be criticized before they're even born. Do you think they could live safely after that?"The woman's face changed, as she was scared. Marshall handed her a business card and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm a journalist, which also means I have the power to spread this news around."The wom

    Aurora gritted her teeth and said, "How would you know if he'd like me or not? His parents like me! You just don't want to help your sister out!"Keegan nodded, "Then, go look for him yourself."Aurora was stunned for a moment. 'Would I be here begging you to contact Marshall if I could do it myself?' Marshall seemed to have deliberately avoided Aurora since he returned to the country. Whenever she found out where he was, he would be nowhere in sight when she arrived. He also never picked up when Aurora called."Please, Keegan. Help me out here. Don't you want me to be happily married in the future?"Keegan said, "You two are not suitable for each other. He's seven years older than you.""Stella was the same age as me when you married her. Why didn't you think she was too young?"Keegan was reminded of what Stella did when Aurora mentioned her name. Initially, he had a headache from quarreling with Aurora, but now his tummy was aching too. He tossed the phone to Aurora and said,

    "Hey, we stopping here?" Marshall asked, slowing the car down.Stella finally snapped out of it, glanced out the window, and nodded. "Yeah, just drop me over there.""Wait here," she said when the car stopped.Marshall wasn't sure why she wanted him to wait, but before he could ask, Stella hopped out and crossed the road to the other side. Some cars zoomed past, and she disappeared from sight.About ten minutes later, she showed up again, this time standing on the opposite end of the crosswalk, holding two cups of coffee. She checked both ways, waiting for the traffic to clear. Marshall couldn't take his eyes off her. He only snapped back to reality when he heard a tap on his car window. Rolling it down, Stella handed him one of the coffee cups.Marshall took the coffee and said softly, "By the way, I'm Marshall." Stella was surprised for a second, then smiled, saying, "I'm Celeste."Meanwhile, Aurora couldn't believe it when she heard that Marshall had a girlfriend. "Keegan! Mar

    By the time the housekeeper could react and stop Aurora, it was already too late. The housekeeper got worried when she saw the boxes all broken. "Why did you do that, Ms. Kane?!" she asked."My mom wouldn't have wanted those things from the Jewell family anyway," Aurora said coldly."That doesn't mean you should stomp on them! Now how can I give them to Mrs. Kane? Your brother asked me to give them to your mom. What will I say when he sees them all destroyed?""Just say you gave them to her. He won't know if you didn't.""But...""No buts! I'll take the blame if anything happens. Hurry up and throw out this garbage. It's so annoying to look at!" Aurora glared at her and said.The housekeeper kept her mouth shut and cleaned up the floor.Meanwhile, as soon as Stella entered Felicity's apartment, Felicity saw the band-aid on her neck.After some questioning, Felicity was caught up with everything that had happened. "That crazy woman wouldn't know karma if it hit her baby," Felici

    "Oh, right! Didn't you ask me to help you sell your bag online? Loads of people are asking about it," said Felicity.Stella was surprised. "What do you mean by 'loads'? Are people really that rich these days?""What are you talking about? They're just excited because they've never seen someone with that bag before. A few internet famous folks even want to rent your bag for some pics.""It's only for sale, not for rent," Stella waved her hand and said."Yeah, that's what I told them. After checking out some folks, I finally found someone who actually wants to buy it. We've been texting for three whole days now. She asked for lots of detailed pictures of the bag and wondered if she should come see it in person to haggle over the price. I said yes on your behalf.""Do you know anything about her?"Felicity pondered for a moment and said, "She doesn't seem like someone from your usual crowd. She wants to meet up at a second-hand luxury store. The store is only in the second or third

    Stella couldn't stand the sound of that familiar high-pitched voice. She looked up and gave a cold look. "Long time no see, Miss Young."The store owner, who arrived shortly after, asked, "Have you two met before?"Bella fixed her jacket and confidently sat in front of Stella. She smirked and said, "We know each other pretty well."The store owner didn't catch the hidden meaning and chuckled, "Oh, so you're acquainted. Want some privacy to talk?"Bella glanced at the store owner. "We're not exactly friends."Bella's words made the store owner feel awkward. Stella remained serious and pushed the case toward them. "Let's follow the store's rules. Inspect the item first."The shop owner took the bag and checked it out. They were in a small private room with Stella and Bella sitting about a meter apart. The shop owner felt a bit uncomfortable because of the tension between them."Why aren't you ashamed of selling things from the Kane family?" Bella asked."I'm just selling stuff I

    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
