"Yeah, I do." Stella frowned. "He's my second uncle—Albert's younger brother. Do they still live there?"

Marshall caught Stella's choice of words. "What do you mean? Have they lived there before?"

Stella nodded. "In the earlier years, my cousins came here for school, but they had no place to stay. So, my mom gave them the keys to our old residence. The house needed to be cared for, and they needed a place to stay. So, mom decided to let them stay there since we were family."

"I was in eighth grade at that time. So, it's been almost 11 or 12 years since then. My uncle has gained some wealth in the past few years. They bought a house here in the city a few years ago. I even went to their housewarming party, so I thought they moved out of that residence."

"Not only did they stay there, but they also turned the house's backyard into a kindergarten," Marshall said in a deep voice.

Stella was stunned. "Huh? But, the backyard was just a piece of wasteland."

She thought to herself, 'Gran

    Felicity's eyelids twitched when she heard what Marshall said. 'I-Is this a fucking confession?!! I knew the handsome Bentley guy had a thing for Stella! Who would take on such a small dispute over a high-paying case?'Stella is such a dumb dumb for saying that I'm overthinking it. She's just blinded by her love for Keegan. What's so good about that guy anyway? Apart from his good looks, he's sharp-tongued and scheming.'The fact that he called the police and had me arrested? Ugh. Makes me think that he'd probably send Stella to prison someday in a fit of anger if he suddenly stops liking her.'Plus, he looks like a playboy, unlike Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore looks gentle, and he's soft-spoken and polite. He also knows the law and is a great lawyer. He even gets worried about whether Stella arrives home safely during the night. He's such a good partner; way better than that hypercritical jerk, Keegan!'Felicity waited expectantly for Stella's answer. 'Did she not get the hint?!' she thoug

    Felicity nodded immediately before Stella could say anything. "Bring us chocolate custard tarts too. Those are delicious."Stella was speechless. 'Felicity and Vermont sure are a match made in heaven. They always put everything down at the mention of food.'After that, Marshall did not stay long. He received a text and said goodbye to the ladies. Stella saw him off at the elevator and went back to her apartment. Felicity had already opened the box of pastries. There were two egg tarts in each box, and the packaging was exquisite. They also included a jade chick keychain."This keychain is a limited Thanksgiving gift for those who spend 2000 dollars at Royle's! My colleague has one, and I was so jealous! Mr. Moore is such a great guy for giving us the tarts and keychain!" Felicity squealed in excitement."Isn't he more handsome than Dr. Steven? How about I do some matchmaking for you two? Mr. Moore is single, you know?" Stella teased.Felicity was at a loss for words. She immediate

    [Oh don't be so sensitive, Mr. Kane,] Stella chuckled. A gleam of joy flashed in Keegan's eyes as he replied, [Are you taking a leave for Thanksgiving? We can spend the holiday together.]Stella froze for a moment. 'Thanksgiving is the day families get together, but my family will never be whole again.'[Let's talk about it when the time comes. You should spend more time with Grandma.]Keegan wanted to spend the holiday with both Stella and Cordelia, but after some thought, he decided not to. 'Our relationship is a secret. We just got back together. I don't think Stella would be willing to celebrate with us. Plus, the Kane family didn't really leave her with a good impression. She probably wouldn't want to see those people on a day for giving thanks.'Keegan swallowed his words and returned to the initial topic. [I want couple stuff too.]Stella was stunned. 'I guess he isn't done with this yet,' she laughed. [I bought tons of couple stuff when we were together last time, but you

    Stella was shocked. "One for Dr. Steven and one for Mr. Snyder? My, my, my..."Felicity was speechless. "Me and that Stinky Cucumber have nothing going on, okay? I'm going there to ask him a favor. I can't possibly show up empty-handed, can I?""Oh. We have a whole box of mangoes here. You should give them to Vermont. I mean, these are your favorite egg tarts. You should just share them with Dr. Steven. Are you and Vermont even close enough to be sharing your favorite food?" said Stella.Felicity was stunned for a moment. After a long time, she said, "It's not like they're new. I've already opened the packaging. That Stinky Cucumber doesn't deserve to eat a whole box of mangoes."Felicity did not seem like she wanted to stay on the subject. She opened the front door and said, "I'll be heading out now." Then, she disappeared.As Marshall turned his steering wheel to leave the parking lot, he saw a Maserati with a familiar license plate entering the place. When the car drove past, h

    Felicity stood awkwardly in front of apartment 902. She was contemplating whether she should hand over the egg tart to Vermont.Vermont took the pastry from her and asked in a low voice, "Did you buy this?""Someone gifted it to me. There were two in the box. I ate one and decided to give you the other one," said Felicity.Vermont's eyes lit up when he heard that. He wanted to laugh, but he tried to suppress it. He put his fist against his lips, coughed lightly, and asked, "So, you came here just to give me this?""There is one thing I wanted to ask you..." Felicity paused. "But, I see that you have company. We can talk about it some other time."Felicity turned to leave after saying that, but Vermont quickly caught up with her and grabbed her. "No. We can talk about it now. Come in, come in," he said as he dragged her into his apartment.Felicity wanted to break free, thinking that it would be inappropriate for her to go in when Nicole was there. However, Vermont had already pul

    Felicity paused for a moment and said, "You clearly have company. Why don't I come back here some other day?" She started to get up, but Vermont pressed down on her shoulders and gently pushed her back into her seat."It's fine. Just tell me. She won't come out. And if she does, I'm sure she wouldn't blabber."Felicity sat back on the couch and thought for a while before she said, "I'm going to apply for a job in the next few days and realized that my resume is not good enough. Are there any un-broadcasted films or co-written dramas from your company that you can slap my name on?" She added, "It's fine if you don't have any.""That's all?" Vermont chuckled. "I thought it was something serious."Felicity's eyes lit up when she heard his tone relax. "Can you do it?"Vermont looked at how expectant she looked and began to tease, "Sure, but not for one egg tart.""How about I add on a whole box of mangoes?" Felicity said generously."I don't need something I can buy with my own mone

    Felicity sat on the couch and saw the bra once more. She sneakily grabbed a pillow and used it to block the lingerie from her sight. Meanwhile, Vermont was done with the phone call and saw Felicity sipping her glass of water. Her face was cute and round. She looked like a hamster with puffy cheeks as she drank the water, which made Vermont feel pleased."How come you wanted water today? You'd usually go for a beer or coke." Vermont walked over and said."I'm on my period," Felicity replied."You get periods?" Vermont teased.Felicity stopped what she was doing, and her whole face darkened. "No. I don't," she gritted her teeth and said. She took out an unopened sanitary pad from her pocket, grabbed Vermont's arm, and slapped the pad in his hand. "Here! I don't need this thing. You use it!" Felicity got up angrily to leave after saying that.Vermont hurried to catch up with her, but it was too late. Felicity had already slammed the door and left. When Vermont opened the door, she wa

    If Olivia had not stepped in that night, the incident would have taken an unimaginable turn. Keegan clutched the document in his hand. "Does Marshall know about this?" He asked after a long time."Mr. Moore went to the hotel and called the police that night. He might have been unaware of the situation. Mr. Saun withdrew from the lawsuit to protect his reputation, as it was Ms. Saun in the hotel room at the time.," Aldor replied.'Unaware, huh?' Keegan thought. After a long time, he put the file on the table and said in a deep voice, "Assist the police in finding the two underground casinos in Eastville. The holidays are coming. We should help them with their search."Aldor understood what Keegan meant. Yoven owned the two underground casinos in Eastville. The gamblers range from high-ranking officials and dignitaries down to peddlers and traffickers. There were all kinds of people in the gambling ring. A few of them commit suicide every year because of their loss. It was a social ca

    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
