Stella smacked the back of his hand and glared at him. "I texted you on WhatsApp. Didn't you check your phone?""You asked me to take a good rest, right?"Stella paused. "I sent you a few messages. I told you I needed to do a favor for Marshall, and I was going to see you after your rest."Keegan frowned. "I only saw the message about resting."The other messages might have been deleted or delayed because his phone was off.Stella then explained the situation. "He said others were setting him up with girls, and he felt bad rejecting them. So, he lied about having a girlfriend."But Duncan asked him to bring his 'girlfriend' to his wedding. Unable to find a date, he came to me for help."Worried you'd misunderstand, I called you. But your phone was off."'Can't find a girl?' Keegan scoffed inwardly. "Do you have no principles? You're a married woman. How could you do a favor like this?""You're just my boyfriend on probation." Stella corrected. She paused before adding, "Marsha
Keegan pretended that he did not hear Stella's question as he turned around and said, "Let's get out of here."However, Stella went after him. "Say it again."Keegan acted like he did not hear anything again.Stella held his arm, and she just would not give up. "Would you say it again, please?"Keegan would rarely say anything cheesy, especially those cheesy nicknames between couples.For example, he would only call Stella by her name and never once as "wife", let alone "baby" or "darling".So, Stella was very surprised to hear him calling her that as that was something she had never heard before.When she saw male online celebrities calling their viewers "babies" in a cute voice while browsing short videos on the internet, she would get goosebumps. It was just not her thing.However, she did not feel like that at all when Keegan did the same thing. It even made her feel a little flustered.Her heart even melted because Keegan said that unintentionally.That was when she real
Keegan took a peek from above Stella's head.Vermont held and kissed the person who was almost a head shorter than him for some time before finally letting go of her.Felicity's face was extremely red. She raised her hand up and slapped Vermont.Stella knew Felicity very well, and she could tell that Felicity did not use her full strength in that slap. Otherwise, Vermont would be screaming in pain if the slap did not make him bleed.Vermont turned his face sideways and pressed his tongue against his cheek that Felicity slapped. He looked at Felicity and said mischievously, "I've touched your lips too. Are you going to rip it off as well?"Felicity wiped her lips with her elbow and scolded Vermont with red eyes. "You scum! I treated you like my brother, yet to you, I'm a toy that you can play with just whenever you want?""Brother?" Vermont chuckled. "You kept avoiding me like I'm a ghost. Is this how you treat your brother? You asked for my help, but you don't even want to see me
Felicity sniffed and glanced at him. Then, she said in a quavering voice, "What thing?"Vermont paused as if he had something difficult for him to talk about. Then, he said after some time, "I used to have a girlfriend who was a model. She showed interest in me first, and she looked kind of pretty. So, I dated her for a while."Felicity paused. "You mean you slept with her for a while, huh?"Vermont was stunned."I wasn't!" Vermont glared. "I just liked being in a relationship. Who said I slept with all my girlfriends? Plus, she pursued me. I only dated her because she seemed cute and fun. But—"His tone shifted, "But, she used to date Nicole! Nicole thought I stole her girlfriend, so she tried to get with me to hurt her ex and me."Felicity was puzzled.She struggled to understand. "Nicole's ex-girlfriend? But Nicole is a girl... Her girlfriend... Is she..."Her eyes widened.Vermont's expression confirmed her thoughts.Felicity was at a loss for words. 'What I wrote is alre
Felicity pondered for a moment. "Honestly, it does bother me."Vermont's heart sank."But..."His spirits lifted as she continued."But, if both people truly love each other, I think it could be okay. The present and future are what matter most. As for the past... I wouldn't mind as long as there were no crimes committed or if he had completely moved on from his exes. I'd never want to be with a bad person, even if they were a virgin!"Vermont got curious. "Did you have any bad experiences with virgins?""One of my friends did!"Keegan panicked a little as he looked down at Stella, who got very excited over their conversation.'Did she complain about me to Felicity?'However, Keegan was proven wrong.Felicity was not talking about Stella. "My friend's husband was her first love, and he had never been with anyone else before. They started dating in school."But guess what? Less than two years after their marriage, her husband hooked up with his female boss."My friend was si
Felicity's eyelid twitched. 'I'm surprised by how shameless this woman can be.'She yelled, "Don't you have a boyfriend? Why are you holding another man's arm if you already have one?"Stella said softly, "What's the big deal about this? Miss Thompson, you're overthinking. Am I right, Mr. Kane?"Keegan glanced at her and agreed. "Yeah." He had no choice but to play along with his playful wife.Felicity was furious. Normally, she wouldn't dare confront Keegan face-to-face, but her anger overrode her fear. She unleashed her fury, not holding back."Keegan Kane, are you blind? Can't you see that this woman is seducing you? I was foolish to think you were different from other men! You're so disappointing! Men are all the same! You'd do anything for a beautiful woman. Someone like you can never win Stella back! Not in this life or the next—ugh—."Vermont covered her mouth and dragged her aside before she could finish talking. "She's just talking nonsense because she had too much to dr
"It has always been!" Felicity wanted to say that he deserved to be slapped for kissing her without even saying hi to her. However, she hesitated and gave up the idea.It was because he was not supposed to kiss her even if he did greet her earlier.She felt weird as if she was getting mad over the wrong thing. 'Why am I angry at what he said more than the fact that he actually kissed me?'Is it because I don't take him as a man, so I didn't mind him kissing me?'Felicity's head turned into a mess, but she felt somewhat happy.She thought to herself. 'I guess I'm happy because I found out that Vermont is single, and I can finally ask for his help without having to avoid him anymore...""Yeah. You're right." Vermont was in a good mood and his words made Felicity feel very good.Felicity looked at his face again before she said softly, "I should probably put some ice on it. It looks so ugly."Vermont replied with a serious face. "It's okay. Didn't you say that I have thick skin?"
Stella slapped Keegan lightly. "I came with Mr. Moore. I have to at least tell him before I leave.Keegan was very reluctant, but he unwillingly followed her back to the venue anyway.Their plan was great, but they soon found out that they could not leave that easily.There were plenty of things planned for that wedding ceremony that night, and all of them were pre-arranged. The groom's best friends were supposed to follow him and play some games with the bride.Keegan had to stay, and there was no point for Stella to leave alone. So, she just stayed there.Marshall was asked to help in preparing the props for the games.He noticed how bored Stella looked and gently said, "The game is very interesting, and it'll be fun. But, I can talk to Duncan and drive you back first if you don't feel like staying anymore.""I'm good." Stella looked at Keegan and said, "I've promised to help you, and I don't mind staying just a little longer. I'll come with you."Marshall smiled. He reached
