Chapter 1175

“Is it really that necessary to have a clean-cut relationship with me?”

As soon as Keegan said that, everyone looked over. They were shocked to see the divorced couple at Albert and Hylda’s wedding, not to mention the ex-husband trying to give wedding gifts on both of their behalfs.

Stella glanced at Keegan indifferently and said, “Mr. Kane, our relationship ended when we signed the divorce papers. It’s better if we refrain from doing something controversial.” She paused for a while and continued,” Mr. Jewell raised me. It’s only right that I give him a wedding present in return. Why are you giving them a gift, Mr. Kane?”

‘And, a generous one at that!’ she thought.

Keegan pressed his lips together and replied, “I knew you were going to be here, so I came to show a little token of my appreciation too.”

The crowd went wild. They were wondering why Keegan would show up at Albert’s wedding. ‘It turns out it’s because of Stella!’

Everyone had heard that Albert and Stella were in contact again. No one was surprised since Albert raised her despite her not being his flesh and blood.

The crowd found it strange that Keegan showed up at the wedding. But now, they finally understood what was going on after hearing his words. They did not expect that he and Stella would be there together since they had a messy divorce nearly six months ago.

Moreover, Keegan’s eyes had been glued to Stella from the moment he appeared. His gaze showed a hint of unrequited love, which was different than his usual cold and indifferent look. Outsiders thought that there was no need for Keegan to be upset over his ex-wife with the status and power he held unless there was something more to it.

The people turned to Stella and saw that she had completely ignored Keegan’s remark. She looked at him in disdain and said, “I think it’ll be better to put your time and energy into the future Mrs. Kane.

There’s no need for you to express your feelings here.”

After she said that, Stella tossed Keegan’s wedding gift back to him and handed her present to the receptionist. “Stella Jewell,” she said to the receptionist.

Keegan looked at her with a hurt gaze for a long time before he said, “Put my name on there as well.

It’s from the both of us.”

Stella could not believe what he was doing. “Did I say I’d let you do that?”

“Can’t I at least have some sort of connection to you? I promise I’ll pay it back after the wedding.”

Stella gave Keegan a cold glance and said, “You’re insane.” She then turned around and walked away.

She was afraid that she would break character if they kept up the act.

Everyone at the wedding venue was flabbergasted, as they watched things unfold. ‘Is Keegan still not over her? No wonder he didn’t like any of the wealthy young women who showed interest in him. He still has his heart set on Stella,’ they thought.

Stella grabbed herself a glass of mango juice and walked to Vermont. Vermont shot her a quick glance and said, “You two are quite the actors.”

“Where’s Felicity?” Stella sipped on her juice and asked.

“She left her phone in the car. She’s going back to get it.”

Stella paused and said, “What kind of boyfriend are you?”

Vermont did not know how to respond. He wanted to go grab Felicity’s phone, but she did not allow him to do that since he was “sick”. So, he lied. “I fell from a tree and injured my back when I visited her hometown with her that day. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let her go on her own. I’m not Keegan, you know; bringing you around when you’ve already suffered an injury.”
