Chapter 1824

Stella then stood up and headed to the kitchen with the strawberries in her hand.

Coincidentally, Aurora came down from upstairs. Stella paused, asking, “Are you going out?”

Aurora glanced at her and ignored her.

Stella asked again, “I’m making strawberry pudding for Keegan. Do you want some?”

Aurora hesitated for a moment and casually replied, “I don’t care.”

Stella gritted her teeth, ‘If it weren’t for you doing me a favor these past two days, I wouldn’t even talk to you!’ She took a deep breath, telling herself not to argue with Aurora, Tm pregnant and have to keep myself happy, happy… It Stella had not cooked anything in a long time, so she was afraid of messing it up. She called Felicity to get the recipe again and then started working.

Meanwhile, Felicity had just hung up the phone and told Vermont, “After Stella got pregnant, it seems like she’s become more amiable. She used to hate Aurora, but just now, on the phone, she even said she would make strawberry pudding for her. Can pregnancy hormones have such a big impact?”

While turning the steering wheel, Vermont smiled and said,” She’s matured.

Aurora is Keegan’s sister, after all. They can’t possibly avoid each other forever, can they? Aurora is just spoiled by her uncultured mother. She’s not like Molly; her nature isn’t that bad.

“When Keegan just graduated and started his company, he was short on funds.

His mother took away all his funds, claiming she wanted to invest in a beauty salon. When Keegan went to ask her for it, not only did he not get it, but he was also scolded. I was with him then, and her words were pretty harsh.

“Keegan is a reserved person. Even if he’s treated unfairly, he won’t go to his grandmother to complain.

Once his grandmother learned about it, Dahlia would get in trouble. She dared not to cross Mrs. Kane Sr., but she sure had her ways to deal with Keegan. That was why the same thing kept happening.

“So, he approached us to borrow some money. We didn’t have much savings at that time, and it was barely enough. Aurora came to me, took out all her savings from over the years, and asked me to give it to Keegan, which resolved his urgent situation at that time.

“Although she benefited from Dahlia’s so-called investment, she wasn’t the instigator. When their father was still okay, the siblings had a good relationship.

But when their father passed away and Dahlia took Aurora away, everything changed.

“Keegan despises Dahlia, but toward Aurora, it’s more of disappointment than hatred. He simply expected more from her. When he sent her to be locked up, he did not feel good. He didn’t express it in front of Stella, worried she’d think he was biased. The truth is, he blamed himself for spoiling Aurora too much.

“But I honestly don’t think it’s a bad thing. She needs to know that not everything can be solved with her family’s money. If she held onto such thoughts, something worse is bound to happen sooner or later.”

Felicity sneered, “You two grew up together; of course, you’ll speak up for her.

When Stella went to their house previously, Aurora would always cause her trouble. She was always speaking impolitely and being disrespectful. Although she’s living in Keegan’s house without causing any drama now, I still think she’s up to something bad.”

Vermont smiled, ‘ Your bestie isn’t a pushover. She could always start a fight if she wants to. Though Aurora acted like she was all that in the last few years, how often did she put Stella in a disadvantageous position?”

Felicity thought about it and realized it was true. Suddenly, she was not as worried anymore. Then, she looked at the increasingly unfamiliar road and frowned, “Where are you taking me?”

“For a meal.” Vermont smiled. “We’re going to Xander Raynor’s engagement banquet. At first, I didn’t want to go. Then, I heard that their designated chef for the engagement banquet is a famous Luwanese chef. So, I thought of bringing you there to taste it and see if you can learn a few cooking tricks for me at home.”

Felicity’s mouth twitched, “Am I your nanny?”

Vermont smirked, “You’re my everything.”

Just as they were talking, they arrived at their destination. Vermont parked the car, opened the door, and extended his hand, “My everything, please step out of the car.”

Felicity laughed as she kicked him. Then, she jumped out of the car.

The Marriott was a top-notch five-star hotel in Rivera. Wedding banquets there had to be booked at least two months in advance.

Felicity followed Vermont into the elevator, and they reached the banquet hall.

Felicity pushed the door open, but before she could marvel at the luxurious decorations, she spotted Keegan, nicely dressed and walking hand-in-hand with Jaylene.
