Chapter 1793

Jaylene had always believed that Keegan stood apart from other men. She trusted that he wasn’t one to judge solely based on appearances but their personality as well. The only obstacle between her and Keegan was the time they spent together or the lack thereof, i Unexpectedly, Stella shamelessly clung onto Keegan despite him declaring the annulment of their engagement and her having heated moments with Marshall. From Jaylene’s perspective, this conduct resembled that of a woman who lacked decency. ’

Unsure of Jaylene’s thoughts, Darcie softened her tone.” Plenty of good men exist in this world. The situation between Keegan and Stella is complicated. He isn’t your perfect match. You should put a stop to your feelings sooner. Stella is entirely focused on Keegan now. This is your chance. Invest your energy in Caline. Establish a solid foundation quickly because, in the end, your customers are what matter most, not just shares.”

Jaylene was not enthusiastic about the idea. With Keegan unable to recall anything, it was the opportune time for her to get close to him. She didn’t want to divert her energy elsewhere. She believed that with her mother’s influence, Stella couldn’t threaten her position in Caline. 3 However, in Darcie’s presence, Jaylene dared not oppose her. She lowered her eyes and said, “Got it, Mom.”

She then changed the subject, “Mom, whose message did you receive during dinner earlier?”

Darcie hesitated for a moment and replied calmly, “It was just a spam message.”

“Oh,” said Jaylene. However, she felt her mother was lying. Wenham hadn’t noticed at dinner, but she did. Her usually composed mother showed a trace of panic upon reading that message. ‘Why did she decide to keep it a secret?’Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Early the next morning, Trevor boarded a private plane bound for Mystonia. Before his departure, he called Stella to ask if she wanted anything.

Keegan overheard Stella’s detailed requests, and it sounded like a lot. Trevor, being good-natured, jotted down her preferences. Before ending the call, he casually asked, “Is Keegan mistreating you?

Why are all the items you requested daily necessities?”

“He isn’t mistreating me. I’m his guest, after all. I can’t expect the host to prepare everything. I should have my own toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, and bedding. It’s already good enough that he’s providing me with meals,” Stella responded.

Keegan could not believe his ears. ‘Could you be any more obvious with your passive-

aggressiveness?’ He thought.

Trevor understood and played along. “That isn’t surprising. How generous can someone be when they’re friends with Vermont? Be happy that he gives you food. Don’t be too picky. You’re your own person. You’re just pregnant. I’m sure you can carry two buckets of water without any help.”

Stella agreed. “You’re right, Trevor. It’s my fault for being so high maintenance.”

Their conversation left Keegan speechless.

Trevor chuckled when he heard that. “Alright. I’ll hang up now. I’ll contact you once I arrive.”

Stella smiled and said, “Take care, Trevor. I look forward to your early return.”

“Bye.”

Stella was about to go upstairs after hanging up, but Keegan stopped her. “Wait.”

“What’s up?” Stella turned around and asked.

Clearing his throat, Keegan said, “I want to go to the mall. Accompany me to buy some things.”

Stella immediately turned away, “No, I’m only here to build a relationship with you so that our child can have good parents. I’m not here to go shopping with you.” “I’ll give you one million dollars.”
