Chapter 1196

Stella and Keegan were both shocked!

Spencer’s mood immediately brightened after seeing the surprised look on Stella’s face. Then, he said flirtatiously before leaving the venue, Til wait for you.”

He was only here to show face on behalf of his family. Now that the ceremony was over, there was no reason for him to stay there anymore.

However, the words that he left before walking completely triggered Keegan.

Keegan clenched his teeth and said as soon as Spencer left, “What did you promise him?”

“There’s no promise at all. Don’t listen to that guy’s nonsense!”

Stella cursed at Spencer inwardly and figured that he must be holding a grudge against her because she dumped him back then. That was why he fabricated the promise to provoke Keegan after getting embarrassed by him.

Spencer had always been a person like this since high school.

There was a very pretty lady in school who liked him and confessed to him. However, he said something and made her cry instead. The next day, the lady’s admirer came looking for him to settle the score.

Stella saw how Spencer brainwashed that lady’s admirer with her own eyes.

“Is she your girlfriend?

“Why did she come crying to you if she’s not?

“You’re doing what her boyfriend should be doing, yet you’re not one. So, what can you get from picking a fight with me? Is she going to date you then?”

“Why would you want to fight me if you won’t? If you win this fight, you’ll be expelled, and if you lose, she’s going to think that you’re useless.”

“How about this? Go back to her now and tell her that you broke my leg. Watch how she’s going to react to that. If she’s worried about you, then it means you have a place in her heart. After that, you can come back and fight me for real. At that point, you’ll have nothing to lose.”

And that admirer really believed Spencer and did exactly as he say. However, that lady’s first reaction was to scold him for resorting to violence, and immediately denied that she knew him because she was afraid of getting affected.

Then, the admirer exploded in anger, and they got into a heated and melodramatic argument with each other on campus while the instigator watched it from a distance.

Stella knew Spencer very well, but Keegan did not. “Why would he say that if you didn’t promise him anything? You probably just forgot. I bet you don’t remember the sweet things you said to be back then!” Keegan said with a dark expression.

Stella was speechless.

The more that Keegan thought about it, the angrier he got. Marshall was already annoying enough, and now he had to deal with another ex-boyfriend, someone who not only knew that Stella liked mangoes but also aware of her past that he was not a part of. There was just no way that Keegan would not be bothered by this.

After all, his identity as Stella’s boyfriend was still a secret, and he was in no place to declare Stella as his lover.

Stella sighed and coaxed him softly, “Have you thought about why he didn’t come looking for me in the past eight years if he really still has feelings for me? I’m not a missing person, and he only went overseas to study. It’s not like he couldn’t come back and find me. There are plenty of ways to see or contact someone. I mean you also found a way to talk to me even though I blocked you, right? You care about me and that’s why you would do whatever it takes to approach me. But he didn’t, because he doesn’t like me that much. That’s the difference between two.

“I’ll always choose someone who’s willing to do everything for me than someone who’ll just expect me to go to him.

“Besides, I really didn’t make any promise to him, and it wouldn’t matter even if I did. You’re the person that I like and you’re the only person I want to be with.”

Keegan paused and his bad mood immediately turned better. He just could not resist the way Stella always comforted him.

However, he still could not fully get over it as he complained softly, “We would’ve been growing up together if you weren’t switched back then!”

In that way, Stella would not have any ex-boyfriend.

Stella could not help but laugh upon hearing that.

‘We probably won’t even like each other if we really did grow up together.’ She thought to herself.

Keegan used to be such a mean person and she figured that she probably would not want to put herself through that.

Of course, she kept that to herself. Otherwise, she would have to coax Keegan again.

As they were talking, Stella caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.
