Chapter 1060

Leighton’s manager thought to himself, ‘Eating is fine, but her partner has to be present.’

So, when Leighton arrived, looking handsome and radiant, he saw Stella talking to Keegan with her head lowered.

He had no idea what Keegan said, but he saw Stella punching the back of Keegan’s hand. Then, Keegan grabbed her hand and held it in his palm.

After that, Keegan looked over at the entrance nonchalantly and greeted Leighton. “You’re here.”

Leighton was speechless.

The way that Keegan said “You’re here” reminded him of the fear he felt when he worked for Trevor as Trevor would always speak like he was someone older than him.

Leighton was never fond of Keegan. After all, Keegan was a man who married his crush, yet did not cherish her and ended up getting a divorce with her. Leighton always thought that there was something wrong with Keegan’s head.

Stella lifted her head and saw Leighton. Then, she smiled and waved at him. “Have a seat. We haven’t ordered yet. Here, have a look at the menu.’

Leighton, who was contemplating whether to leave or not, closed the door and strode over.

Tm going to have a meal with my idol, not him! I’ll just ignore him!’

Keegan and Stella were sitting next to each other, so Leighton pulled out the chair and sat opposite Stella.

Stella pushed the menu toward him and gently said, The Luwanese dishes here are not bad. I read from your fans that you like Luwanese food, so let’s see if this is good enough for you.”

Leighton replied softly, ‘Tm not really particular about my food. Just order whatever you like.”

Stella smiled. “Pick something. I know idols like you have a strict diet. Order what you can eat, and I’ll add the things that I want to eat later.

So, Leighton stopped refusing and began reading the menu.

Keegan looked at the young man in his twenties.

‘This guy probably doesn’t know that Stella is his cousin, and he actually treats me like his love rival.’

Keegan brought his brows so close together that they could squeeze a fly to death after seeing the dishes that Leighton picked.

They were all Stella’s favorite.

‘Trevor is such an inhuman scum. He even dragged his cousin into this just because he wants to keep me away from Stella.’

After choosing the food he wanted, Leighton passed the menu to Stella. Stella looked at it, and she was shocked. “Our tastes are pretty similar. I can’t believe that you actually ordered everything I wanted to eat.”

Leighton said inwardly, Tve watched your interviews. How could I not know what you like?’

However, he kept a calm face and said, “What a coincidence.”

Stella ordered a bowl of pumpkin soup for Keegan and told a waiter to submittheir order.

“Is your back… fully healed?”

Stella asked.

Leighton wanted to tell her that it had healed, but he changed his mind after he saw Keegan. “There are still some scars left, and it hurts a little when it rains. Other than that, I’m all good.”

Keegan’s eyelid twitched.

‘His skin is injured, not his bone. What does it even have to do with the rain? I However, Stella did not catch that Leighton was just acting cute and seeking comfort as she straightforwardly said, “You’re still so young, yet you’re recovering so slowly. Is it because your manager has been restricting your diet? That’s not going to work. You need a lot of nutrients to heal.

You’ve got to eat more later.”

Her reply left Leighton speechless.

However, Keegan was not surprised at all. He even took pleasure in it.

He poured Leighton a glass of alcohol and flatly said, ‘You didn’t change much compared to when you were younger.”

Leighton paused. “Did you mistake me for someone else? I’ve never seen you before.”

Keegan slowly replied, “Your father, Daryl Hall, used to live in our house. Your mother, Ms. Clark, used to be my English teacher. I used to call your father my brother, so technically, you should call me uncle.
