"I don't need you to care about me!" Stella turned her head. Her eyes were red as she said, "Where were you when I needed you? Why are you pretending to care about me now? Or, is it because you're angry with me for splashing coffee on your mother? So, you came to get back at me?"Keegan would have talked back if she scolded him like this back then.But today, he lowered his eyes and remained silent. He stretched his arm to gently wipe the coffee stain on her cheek that she did not wipe. His voice was husky. "Was it hot?"Stella's nose felt sour. She almost cried even when she did not want to.She pushed his hand away and said, "It's none of your business. We're divorced. You and your mother don't need to plot against me and be worried that I'd get pregnant anymore. Because of you two, I won't be able to get pregnant my whole life. Are you happy now?"Keegan's fingers trembled. He felt a lump in his throat. He opened his mouth, and he softly said after a while, "I'm sorry.""The w
Keegan was speechless."Are you trying to make me angrier?"Vermont's mouth twitched. He immediately screenshotted his WhatsApp and sent it to Keegan. "See for yourself." He then teased him, "Your ex-wife blacklisted you. That's why you can't see it."Keegan's expression instantly turned ugly when he saw that screenshot.Vermont asked, "She said she prioritizes healthy men. What does that mean? Do you have any sexual dysfunction? You couldn't satisfy her?"Keegan was boiling with anger. "You're the one who has sexual dysfunction!"Vermont was speechless.'I was just asking. Why was he so angry? His ex-wife said it, not me,' Vermont thought.Keegan did not disclose their divorce to the public. He thought that Stella was acting out. He wanted to remarry her after some time. But, he did not expect her to announce their divorce publicly.'Now, it looks like, at least from Stella's point of view, she really might not want to get back with Keegan,' thought Vermont.Vermont suddenly
'It's that strict?'Stella secretly asked in her mind.But, she still obediently removed her jacket.The doctor raised her head and said, "You need to remove everything except for your panties."So, Stella continued to remove her clothes.Trevor sat in the room next door staring at the woman on the screen who was undressing. He pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.He averted his eyes when Stella started removing her bra. He tapped the cup as he softly said, "Ask her to turn around. Have a look at her back."The female doctor raised her eyes as she said, "Please turn around."Stella then turned around.Trevor raised his eyes. He then immediately saw the pink, cloud-shaped birthmark on her left scapula.His hand trembled, and he suddenly looked extremely serious.He clenched his teeth as he murmured, "Ask her what's that on her back."The female doctor got up and walked to Stella. She pretended to examine her body. Then, she touched the birthmark on Stella's scapula w
When Stella was done with the checkup, the agent from when she went to look at houses, called her."Ms. Jewell, I have sorted out some houses according to the requirements that you mentioned last time, all of them are located in the areas that you circled but from various house types and residential areas. I've sent the pictures of the different house types to your WhatsApp, so you can have a look. Of course, if you're free, we could set a time and date for me to bring you to see the houses in person. Then, you can have a first-hand view of the lighting and whatnot. What do you think?"Stella had contacted the agent back when she first asked for a divorce from Keegan.For a few months, the agent had been calling Stella persistently.During that period, Stella stopped replying to the agent's invites because the divorce was on hold. She never expected the agent to still remember her and recommend houses to her from time to time.Stella was a person who would easily give in to consta
Stella glanced at the agent, who took a bus to meet Stella. When the agent came down from the bus, there was a visible footprint on her shoe that indicated someone had stepped on it. However, when the agent brought Stella to view the houses, she deliberately called a cab. When she paid for the cab, she took out her purse which looked like it had been used for a while, as the corners were obviously frayed.'If she could close this deal, the money she spent on the cab won't go to waste. But, what if she couldn't?'Such sincerity.'Stella then said, "There's no need for that. My friend's house is not far away from here, so I can walk there."The agent let out a sigh of relief, said her goodbyes, and went to take the subway train.Stella strolled slowly along the street. After an afternoon of house-hunting, she was actually quite tired. But, as she thought of how everything was going down the right path, she felt a faint sense of security.Felicity's house was actually some distance
The houses at Clouditude International cost eleven thousand dollars per square foot on average, and the smallest unit was over two thousand square feet.The spaces between the houses were wide, and the residential area was well-equipped. Moreover, the property management of Clouditude International was also the best in the country. It was considered one of Rivera's most esteemed residential areas.It would be wishful thinking to get a house in Clouditude with the limited money that Stella had.As for Trevor's advice, Stella only had one thought. 'Great idea, but please stop giving me ideas.'Seeing that Stella did not respond, Trevor continued, "I know the owner of Clouditude. He has a few houses left if you want. I can help you ask him for a discount."Stella dropped her gaze and said, "Clouditude International is good indeed, but I can't afford it, So, I wouldn't think about it."Trevor paused and seemed to suspect that Stella was joking about not being able to afford the house
Marshall was at the law firm, helping a colleague to deal with a client. When he received the message, he just held up his phone for a glance and did not reply.Seeing that Marshall did not respond and that the car across him started, Vermont forgot about his own businesses. He started his car and followed them.Even though Vermont said he was just a rubberneck, he grew up closely together with Keegan. After witnessing how much Keegan regretted the divorce, how could Vermont not help him out?'No matter whose car that was I have to scout out the enemy first.'He tailed them to a condominium and saw the car door swing open. Stella got out and said goodbye to the person in the car, and took the takeaway boxes into the condominium with her. The car was parked there for a few minutes until Stella left their sight, and then it drove away slowly.After the other car drove away, Vermont drove a bit to the front and rolled down his car window to take a better look at the name of the condo
"If you don't help me, I will say that you drugged me and forced yourself on me. I'll carry a sign and make a scene at your office, and let all of your employees know that you're a rapist!"Vermont's eye twitched, and he said, "Won't you be embarrassed?""I'm the victim, why should I be embarrassed? You're the one that should be embarrassed!"Vermont did not mind people making a scene at his office, since he had experience dealing with people pestering him after breakups. Some of them would even make a scene at his office. However, this "bandit girl" in front of him was different.He could settle the other girls with money, but Felicity was clearly not there for the money. Moreover, she had no shame. She might really make it public that he had slept with her.Vermont felt a faint headache as he thought about the situation.He glanced at Felicity with an unfriendly expression. "What do you mean by helping you get him?"Felicity instantly smiled and showed off her pair of dimples.
