Stella had used all her strength to slap Keegan, and her sharp nails had drawn two thin red lines on his face. Keegan was dumbfounded. This was the second time she hit him. The first time she slapped him was out of self-defense, but this time, her slap was filled with hatred.Being slapped in the face was humiliating, especially for someone like Keegan. So when Stella was about to strike him once more, Keegan grabbed her wrist and growled, "Enough is enough! Do you really think I won't hit you?"As soon as he said that, Stella's eyes turned red and filled with tears. Keegan was stunned. Despite being married for so many years, he had never seen her cry like this. She only ever cried when she was watching dramas.Keegan had always felt that this woman was heartless, but his heart wrenched when he saw her cry. He helplessly let go of his hand and whispered, "I wasn't going to hit you.""Keegan, the thing I regret the most in my life is marrying you. Rivera is a big city. I hope I nev
At that time, Keegan asked someone to check the prescription and found that the medicine was indeed good for the uterus, so he did not question it further.Though, it was clear that Stella did not like taking the pills. She would always refuse to take it every time. The couple also often quarreled about pregnancy, and each time, they would argue about the medicine.Keegan was always afraid that there would be something wrong with her body. He also feared that if she ever got pregnant, her health would be affected due to accidental miscarriages. So, at the end of last year, he got a vasectomy to eliminate this possibility.Aldor was shocked when he went to the hospital to pick Keegan up back then. Although vasectomies did not affect a man's skills during sex, Aldor could not believe he did it for Stella.Keegan probably thought it was embarrassing, so he told his assistant he was annoyed by how much Stella did not want to take the medication.Aldor laughed in response.After Keega
Stella drove around the streets and finally pulled up in front of a small bar.When a person is extremely depressed, alcohol is something excellent for resolving these emotions.Stella was a heavy drinker. However, even someone good at holding their liquor could not stand mixing red wine, white wine, and beer.She drank them hurriedly and did not eat anything. The bar owner initially thought he had gotten good business. However, as Stella drank more and more, the bar owner started to get nervous.He was worried that she would drink too much and get in trouble.And so, after she finished her alcohol and wanted more, he did not give her any."Miss, you've already had a lot to drink. Why don't you order something to eat? We have a really delicious beef stir-fry.""I'm not hungry," Stella said as she propped up her head. Her cheeks had turned red, and she looked a little drunk. However, she still spoke coherently."Give me another bottle of alcohol.""Miss, I noticed that you drov
"I've taken their money, so I obviously need to do my best and work for them."Marshall buttoned his coat. "I'll be leaving now. Have a good meal."Then, he left.Aurora was coldly rebuffed, so she felt a little humiliated.Ariel also thought her son's actions were a little too obvious.When Aurora was injured, Ariel persuaded Marshall several times to visit her. However, he would use work as an excuse to be absent.Ariel had visited Aurora twice, from when she was injured up till she had recovered. However, Marshall never once visited.Every time Ariel visited, Aurora would ask why Marshall did not go, so Ariel would make an excuse to brush her off. She would tell Aurora the things that were bought by Marshall, about how he was busy recently, and various reasons of such to justify her son's actions.Aurora fully believed her, so she immediately went to the Moore residence and looked for Marshall the moment she recovered.However, Marshall's attitude was too cold.He grudging
The bar owner chuckled at the side. "Your girlfriend is quite interesting, son."The tip of Marshall's ears turned pink. He did not deny it and merely asked the bar owner to help him open Stella's car door.Marshall placed her in the passenger seat and got into the driver's seat on the other side.When he was putting on the seatbelt for Stella, her breath bated his ear, causing his heart to race for no reason.He looked into Stella's eyes. Then, his gaze slowly turned cool.After, he put on his seatbelt, sat up, and drove off the car.Stella woke up in the middle of the journey. She opened her eyes in a daze and asked drowsily, "Where are we going?""Where do you want to go?" Marshall asked.Nobody knew if Stella had recognized who Marshall was. She leaned against the window and thought for a moment. "The beach."After she spoke, she went to sleep.And so, Marshall drove the car to the beach.When they arrived at the beach, Marshall winded down the windows, and cold air pour
Marshall suddenly thought that Keegan was quite brave to marry Stella.Stella chattered on and recounted Keegan's seven sins. In the end, she somehow thought of Rainee and began crying while she was talking.Marshall patted her back and consoled her in silence.When Stella was done crying, she hiccuped and fell asleep.Marshall stared expressionlessly at the sea far away. Then, he reached out and unbuttoned his collar.Beneath his collarbone was a large dark red burn mark that spread out beneath his shirt.The following day, Stella was woken up by knocking sounds.She opened her eyes in a daze and saw hotel furnishings in front of her. She pressed her temples and could not remember how she got to the hotel.The knocking continued, so she said, "Give me a moment."As she got off the bed and opened the door, she said, "Mr. Moore?"Marshall showed up at her door neatly dressed. When he saw Stella, he smiled and said warmly, "I'm here to bring you a set of clothes."It took a mo
Dahlia looked at the photo, and it really was Stella and Marshall.She frowned and did not speak.Aurora was so furious that she kept cursing. "That bitch! She's tramping around with that manipulative face of hers. I'm going to tell Keegan immediately!""Wait." Dahlia stopped her."What can a photo prove? The two aren't holding hands or acting intimate. If you send this to Keegan, he'd even think that you're deliberately stirring up trouble."Aurora gritted her teeth. "They are walking out of the same room. Isn't that enough for proof?""That's Xianna's side of the story. It wasn't captured in her photo."Aurora liked Marshall, so she naturally felt pissed off when she saw him in a hotel with another woman.However, Dahlia was a bystander, so she was much more clearheaded compared to Aurora.'Stella is very busy due to a bunch of nonsense happening in the Jewell family. She's even divorcing Keegan recently, so she wouldn't have the time to get involved with other men. If Xiann
Xavier raised his eyebrow and thought, 'I'm sure he's interested in Mrs. Kane... No, I should call her Ms. Jewell now.'She just got divorced recently and he's already so eager to get her. His intention is so obvious.'I wonder if Mr. Saun would break Trevor's leg if he knew about this. After all, this is too not cool,' Xavier thought.After Stella had ended Trevor's phone call, she turned her head to ask Marshall, "Mr. Moore, where's your office? I'll take you there."Marshall did not reply to that question. He asked, "Are you still filming Jurisdiction?"Stella shook her head. "No. I went for a screen test with a production crew a while back. I'm filming this show at Hatun recently.""Filming?" Marshall was suddenly interested. "What kind of show is that?""A show featuring power and love struggles in the palace.""What role are you playing?"Stella looked serious as she said, "Look at me. Of course I'm playing a concubine who will bring calamity to the country."Marshall w
