After hanging up the phone, Stuart forwarded Leighton's WhatsApp contact to her. Stella tapped it open and saw that Leighton's profile picture was actually a tiger. She thought, 'This fella knows why people call him that and purposely chose this profile picture, right?'Stella added his WhatsApp contact and sent a message. [It's Stella.]After a while, she did not see him accepting it. Stella thought for a while, and then chuckled. Leighton was a huge celebrity and probably did not remember who she was. She then put her phone to the side while thinking about it.At that exact moment, Leighton, who was initially lying on the bed nursing his injuries, heard the notification sound from his WhatsApp application. He squinted his eyes and grabbed this phone, taking a look. Leighton saw the notification for a newly added contact. He sat up from the bed with a whoosh.Estelle was shocked. "What are you going crazy for?"Leighton kneeled down on the bed, half-naked. Eyes bright, he said, "
Keegan had meant what he said. He had given strict orders that no one was allowed to bail Aurora.Dahlia had begged everyone the whole night. She also used each and every contact available. No one could get Aurora out. Not only that, but the police did not even allow visits.Dahlia did not get any sleep. Before daybreak the next day, she ran to Cordelia's home to beg Cordelia. Cordelia knew about this incident the previous night.Keegan had been wary of Dahlia's plan. When he returned from Chandler's house yesterday night, he had gone to Cordelia's home. He told Cordelia what had happened in exact detail, including all of Aurora's deeds in the past. Cordelia finished listening to this and did not speak for a long while.Knowing what Keegan would do next, Cordelia said, "Let her suffer. She should learn this lesson. I truly regret that I let her take care of Aurora back then."Cordelia was worried Dahlia would come to make a fuss. Hence, she had traveled through the night to the su
Wenham pursed his lips. "He's going back to Salcator to visit his uncle and grandparents."Darcie stopped talking. After a while, she said, "He's been back for a long time. He should go and visit them. How are the elders?""Quite well," Wenham said vaguely. He then gave her an excuse before he went out.Darcie pursed her lips tightly. She used her fingers to press the hot waistband around her as she softly caressed it.Meanwhile, Stella had been reading the script the whole day. She also watched a few episodes of a popular drama. Toward evening, her doorbell rang.Felicity was amending the script with her earphones on. Stella got up and went to open the door.The people outside the door were the workers from The Emperor.They were holding a few bags. They smiled brightly when the door was opened."Hi, your takeaway order from The Emperor is here. We're glad to serve you."Stella was stunned. "I didn't order this."One worker took out the address label to verify. "Clouditude I
Felicity's expression turned sour."You ordered this?"Vermont coughed. "Well, I've eaten a few of your meals. I'm paying you back with this."Felicity gave a mocking laugh. 'If Keegan were not here, I would have hit Vermont!'Holding the alcohol, Vermont walked to her. He whispered, "This is year eighty-two Lafite. Am I sincere enough?"Felicity's expression changed subtly. She glanced at the alcohol that he was holding. Its packaging was indeed exactly the same as the one she saw on the set.Suspiciously, Felicity said, "You're not fooling me with counterfeit wine, right?"Vermont said, "If this is fake, I'll swallow the bottle."Felicity looked better. She took the bottle of alcohol from him. "For the sake of the Lafite."She then walked to the kitchen with it. Vermont smiled as he followed her.Stella and Keegan stared at each other.Keegan said, "Let's have a walk downstairs."Stella looked at the food. "I still haven't eaten."Keegan smiled. He looked a little gentle
Keegan said on his mind, 'We divorced recently.' But he still made a sound to imply yes.The man said, "Your wife's quite pretty. My wife's just slightly prettier."Keegan was speechless."Your wife is...""She's the one on your wife's left. She's wearing a floral skirt."Keegan turned his head to look. He was taken aback. 'She looks... quite likable.'They do look like a married couple. She has a chubby, round face. Her arms are one and a half arms thicker than Stella's.'The man said, "She was very slim before she gave birth. She only got chubbier after that."Actually, she isn't chubby. I think she looks quite good. You guys don't have a child yet, right?"Keegan said, "We aren't planning on having a kid."The man winced. He then smiled as he said, "That's good too. It was like being at death's door. It was very torturous."My wife had too many supplements when she was pregnant. The baby was too big when she gave birth."She ended up staying in the delivery room for a da
'I feel like I got ripped off... I should've said fifty.'Stella felt she got a bad deal. But Keegan felt like his cognitive view got reconstructed.'You can make such a counteroffer?'Stella did not simply give her counteroffer. She always went to the night market near Trinity University. So, she could more or less know the price of these clothes.But she did not expect the stall owner to be so cunning.'It's fine. He has to make a profit. It's a virtuous circle.'When the owner held the bag open for Stella, Keegan handed the set of erotic outfits to him. He asked, "How much is this?"The stall owner glanced at it. "Hundred and fifty."Keegan remembered the way Stella bargained just now. He said, "It's too expensive. Give me a better offer."The owner said, "Make me a counteroffer."Keegan said, "Fifteen."The boss was stunned. He took the clothes from him and threw them at a pile of clothes. "Have a nice day!"Keegan was speechless.Stella laughed hysterically.Keegan w
Keegan was speechless.He grabbed Stella's hand. "Watch what you're doing."He glanced to the side as he said that. Stella twisted her head. She then saw a boy holding an ice cream. He was looking at them with his head tilted to the side.Stella coughed as she withdrew her hand.Just as she wanted to say something, the boy was called to by his mother. Stella then heard him say, "Mom, that lady poked the man's chest. Is she a pervert?"Stella was taken aback.Keegan's mood was very good. He pinched her earlobe. "Let's go, pervert."Stella's expression turned ugly. "You're the pervert!"She then followed him and said, "Are you not changing? Your shirt's too tight."Keegan glanced at her. "I'm not a woman. Moreover, it's nighttime now. And I'm wearing a black t-shirt. Who'd come so close to look at me as you did?"Stella took a look at him. "Won't you feel embarrassed?"Keegan was stunned. 'Why does this sentence sound so familiar?'But it was me who said that back then.'Kee
Stella was boiling with rage. She took the peaches from Keegan's hands and threw them back. She looked grim as she said, "We don't want them!"She then grabbed Keegan's hand and left the fruit store.It was raining very heavily. The wind was strong too.When they stepped out of the shop, they immediately got wet from the slanted rain.Stella suddenly regretted it. 'Why did I act tough in time like this?'It's fine to get ripped off. How expensive can four and a half pounds be?'She turned her head and wanted to tell Keegan to go back into the shop.But Keegan already held the shirt open to shield their heads from the rain. He went close to her ear and whispered, "Four and a half pounds isn't expensive. But we can't allow this unhealthy practice."Stella was stunned. Her heart softened a little. She said, "I have so many metal items on me. And you're with me now. Aren't you afraid of being struck by the thunder?"Keegan lowered his head to look at her. "Do you want a perfect an
