Chapter 1117

Stella was utterly speechless. [I’m giving you a second chance to restructure your sentence.], she said with a dark face.

Keegan could already imagine Stella gritting her teeth and glaring at her phone on the other side of the screen. He unconsciously smiled while thinking about it. He then replied to her text as he listened to the news. [Is it not obvious that I’m trying to show my love for you?]

Stella felt confused. ‘Am I blind? Or is there something wrong with my reading comprehension?’ [You must be crazy if you think criticizing my cooking means professing your love.]

[I know the food you made didn’t taste good because I tasted all of them. That means I’m still willing to eat them even though they aren’t delicious.]

Stella did not know what to say to his response. The corners of her mouth twitched as she grimly said, [Your way of showing affection is really original. I would’ve thought you were deprecating me if you hadn’t explained it.]

[That’s understandable since you’ve never really been very good at reading comprehension.] Keegan replied when the woman was clearly teasing him.

‘Who’s the one with bad reading comprehension now? How can he be so confident? No wonder girls never liked him.

His way of thinking is bonkers,’ Stella thought. [So, are you coming home for dinner or not?] She grunted.

[Yeah.] Keegan finally stopped playing around. [But I’ll be late since there’s a lot going on at work.]

[That’s fine. I can wait.]

Keegan then sent her 143 dollars as a code for “I love you.” As usual, Stella thanked him within seconds. Keegan smiled and was about to put his phone down when Stella transferred him 637 dollars, which meant “Forever and always.”

Keegan was taken aback by her sudden move that stirred his emotions.

Vermont was playing video games in his office at Green Hill Media, helping Felicity boost her ranking.

Just as he got to the exciting part of the game, Keegan texted him. [How are you spending Thanksgiving this year?]

Vermont found it weird. ‘What’s going on? He doesn’t usually ask what I do during the holidays…’ [I’m going to have lunch with the fam and probably spend the rest of my day with miss bandit.]

‘She won’t be going home for the holidays, would she?’ Vermont thought about it and decided to call Felicity. ‘If she is, I’m going to ask if I could have dinner with her parents.’

[Oh. Are you getting her a present since it’s the first holiday you guys are celebrating together? I bet it’ll make the occasion more special.]

Vermont was surprised. ‘What kind of classes did Stella sign this man up for? This is so not like him.’

[Of course, I am. But I’m not sure what to get her yet. Do you have any ideas?]

Keegan then sent Vermont a screenshot of the 637 dollars Stella had sent him earlier. [I’m not sure either. She’s the one who gives me gifts during the holiday.]

Vermont could not believe his eyes. His eyelids were violently twitching as he thought, ‘That mutt! I was wondering why he was asking so many questions. It turns out he just wanted to show off! Damn. It’s making me kinda mad.’

Before Vermont could say anything, Keegan sent another picture of Stella’s cooking. [I said we could go out for dinner today, but she didn’t want to and told me homecooked meals are better.]

Vermont pursed his lips and decided not to go along with him. He opened the gallery app and selected dozens of photos of Felicity’s cooking to send Keegan. [Miss bandit has great cooking skills. Maybe she can teach Stella sometimes. I’m pretty sure your stomach issues are more or less related to her cooking.]
