Stella moved her finger to the end call button, but Keegan called her name. "Stella."Stella paused and did not tap on the button."You're not going to sleep yet?"Keegan spoke very softly."Yeah," Stella said. She paused before she asked, "What about you?"The expression on Keegan's face looked a lot more relaxed after hearing Stella's question. He gestured to Aldor to keep quiet before going into the lounge. He loosened his tie and said softly, "I was just about to."Stella looked downward, grabbed her blanket, and said, "Oh."Keegan asked, "Why did you suddenly call me?"Stella said, "It was an accident."Keegan then kept quiet and thought, 'I shouldn't have asked that.'He ignored what Stella said and asked again, "You can't sleep?"Stella answered dishonestly, "Nope."Keegan chuckled. "Well, neither can I."Stella nodded. "That's normal. You've been like this anyway. Maybe you're getting older. The doctor said the older a person gets, the lesser they need to sleep."
Stella paused before she realized that Keegan was talking about what was happening on the Internet.Then, she lied to Keegan. "I don't care what other people have to say about me."She would not be so depressed last year because of what the netizens said if what she said was true.Keegan did not ask her any further about it. He gazed downward and softly said, "I do. Talk to me if you can't sleep. Don't take sleeping pills. They're not good for you."Stella was a little stunned. Then, she pretended to be unbothered. "Did you think I can get sleeping pills just anywhere? I don't have access to them anyway even if I wanted to take them.""That's great," Keegan said in a hoarse voice. "I was worried."He would have trouble falling asleep whenever he thought about the depression test result in court.It just kept reminding him how incompetent he was as a husband.He was wrong when he thought that Stella divorced him out of impulse. However, the truth was that he disappointed her too
"God, bless my underwear,My only pair.Stand beside them,As they sit in a heap by the chair.From the washer,To the clothesline,To my dresser drawer,To my rear..."Stella and Keegan were stunned.Stella was not impressed. "Is this supposed to be a lullaby?"Keegan argued, "It's my first time listening to it too."Vermont sent it to him and told him that it was the best lullaby ever, but he had never played it.'I should've known that I can't trust this idiot!'What kind of rubbish is this?!' he thought.Stella then figured that it might really help Vermont to sleep judging by what he liked. However, she was very sure that he did not send it to Keegan for the same reason.Stella tried to hold her laughter in before she said softly, "I feel more awake now thanks to you. Bye."Then, she hung up before Keegan could say anything.Keegan held his phone in his hand, looking very annoyed. He thought, 'Vermont is such a moron. Everything was going so well until I played hi
Vermont held in his laughter. "Me too."So, Felicity went into Vermont's house reluctantly.Felicity knew that the roasted fish was from Southern Unity Street just by the smell of it.That was because her office was very close to that street, and she would be attracted by that smell whenever she walked past it.She suggested her company's team-building session be organized there, but most of her colleagues rejected the idea because the smoky smell would stick to their clothes. And, that shop had a big hall without any individual rooms, so the lack of privacy became a reason to not go there.After all, team-building activities were supposed to be fun. Felicity was one of the few people who only wanted to eat.That was why Felicity only ate there a few times even though the shop was very near to her office.So, she enjoyed that meal very much.She even took the initiative to clean up after the meal. "I'm leaving now.""Wait a minute." Vermont stopped her. "Test a game out with m
Stella replied honestly, "I uninstalled it last night.""Re-install it and respond to it. This is a perfect chance to clarify things.""Okay," Stella said before reinstalling Facebook.She opened the application and saw that the most searched hashtag was #VRAmbassador.She tapped on it, and the Cyber Crime Bureau posted a clip of her. It was taken from Jurisdiction when she acted as a university student who ended her life because of the pressure of online loan with the caption, [It's nice to be working with you again. How have you been? @StellaJewell]The main account of Vinci Rivera shared the post with the caption, [That's right. She "sold herself" to us.] The account even flaunted a picture of the Mercedes-Benz that the netizens would not stop spreading.In other words, Vinci Rivera was responding to the rumors about Stella selling her body to some rich man for her own benefit.Vinci Rivera was telling everyone that Stella was not spending time with some rich men when she did
A celibate engineer who was obsessed with inventing new stuff and a voice actress who was the go-to option when any show needed a sexy and seductive voice.The extreme contrasts between them could actually go so well together.Keegan never wanted to be interviewed and would rarely appear in front of the media. There were only a few photos of him online, and all of them were related to work, such as when he gave a speech at Trinity University.Everybody spent a lot of effort to find his photo. Then, they cropped him out and placed him beside a picture of Stella when she acted as the corpse-cooking maniac in Jurisdiction, where she was wearing a camisole and had short hair.They were shocked by how well they looked together. Keegan wore a suit that made him look ascetic, and it seemed like only Stella could take them off to do whatever she wanted on him.The sexual tension surrounding her was simply too strong.So, they gave them a nickname as a couple—Keella.It was a combination
Shannon leered at Bella and said, "You're both from the same company, and she's not as good as you. You're the main character, while she's just a sidepiece. There's no conflict of interest between you two. Why would she try to screw you over?"Bella's face turned red. She could not tell her about how she had tried to break Keegan and Stella's marriage before."The company accepted an endorsement for an affordable luxury brand as compensation for you. And, the police have closed the case and ruled it an accident. I'm telling you, Bella, Mr. Saun doesn't like actors who cause trouble. Just do your job, and you will be fine. You'd get everything you were promised in your contract. No one can protect you if Mr. Saun finds out that you did the opposite."Bella was the most popular artist in the company and should have received princess treatment. However, Trevor did not like her at all, which can be seen through Bella's shock at that time.Shannon thought that the company had appointed
Dahlia felt frustrated that Keegan seemed unconcerned about the Crosby family matters but was overly attentive to Stella. 'Thank goodness they're divorced. Otherwise, Keegan would be even more fixated on her. There wouldn't be room for me in this household.'Early in the morning, Dahlia visited Cordelia's house. Cordelia had been quite unhappy with her since the birthday banquet incident, so Dahlia had kept a low profile since then. Besides offering her condolences to the injured guests from the banquet, Dahlia went to Cordelia's place to acknowledge her errors and offer her apologies.Cordelia remained adamant about not wanting to see Dahlia. Each time Dahlia visited, Cordelia either turned her away or gave her the silent treatment.Dahlia had managed to enter the Kane family due to her pregnancy and determination. Initially, when pregnant, Cordelia disapproved of her, yet Dahlia persisted. She visited Cordelia daily, bringing tea, inquiring about Cordelia's well-being, tending to
