Chapter 1880

Vermont chatted with Felicity for a while, gradually learning about what happened that night. He felt a sense of heaviness in his heart, and he reached out to pat her head.” You must take me with you next time. Your brother only bullies you because you’re short. Let’s see if he dares to do anything with me around.”

Felicity snorted, “Well, I did give him a shoulder throw. They should know that I’m-ouch!

“…that I’m a powerful woman.”

Vermont held her up and whispered, “Stop talking. Just rest and save your energy.”

Felicity closed her eyes. “Coming to the hospital to roast my butt on New Year’s is truly embarrassing.”

“At least it’s not hemorrhoid surgery,” Vermont chuckled.

“Get lost!”

Vermont stood up and said, ‘TH go get you some water.”

“Kay.”

Once Vermont left, he knocked his head and thought,’ Damn! She’s so fair!’

Meanwhile, Darcie had just finished cooking the pierogies when Keegan arrived.

Trevor opened the door, saw Keegan, and gave him a once over. “Did the gas prices go up?”

Keegan was taken aback. “I didn’t notice.”

“Oh. I thought the gas prices went up, and you were so stingy that you didn’t want to refuel your car.

So, you came here on foot.”

Trevor’s reply rendered Keegan speechless.

He glanced at him and hummed, “Well, come on in. Or, do you want me to carry you?”

Keegan walked in with a gift in his hand.

Several more dishes were added to the table. Marshall and Wenham were engaged in a lively conversation with Jaylene sitting across from them. Stella was nowhere to be seen.

Keegan subconsciously glanced around.

Jaylene’s eyes lit up when she saw him. “Keegan!” she called out.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Keegan withdrew his gaze and responded indifferently.

Marshall also turned around and acknowledged his friend with a slight nod.

After Keegan greeted Wenham and Darcie, Jaylene asked,” Have you eaten? If you haven’t, I can ask Sandra to cook some pierogies for you.”

Keegan had intended to say that he had already eaten, but before he could speak, he saw out from the kitchen with a plate of pierogies. He pursed his lips and said, “Sure.”

Jaylene immediately requested Sandra to cook the dish for Keegan.

“There’s no need to call her. I’ve cooked all the pierogies,” said Stella.

She then glanced at Keegan and continued, “Do you want some veggies instead? Marshall arrived first.”

Marshall politely declined. “Keegan can have the pierogies if he’s hungry.”

“Thanks. I am quite famished,” said Keegan.

Marshall did not respond.

Stella’s gaze lingered on him for two seconds before she placed the plate in front of Keegan. Then, she asked Marshall, “What would you like to eat, Marshall? I’ll ask Sandra to make something for you.”

“It’s fine. I can eat whatever is left. I’ve spent my New Year’s like this in the past.”

Stella suddenly felt guilty for spoiling Keegan.

Wenham had a few drinks and was feeling good. “The past is in the past. This year, we are celebrating New Year’s at my house. How can we let you go hungry? Just tell us what you want. If Sandra can’t make it, we can go out to eat.”

Marshall chuckled. “I don’t have a specific dish in mind, but I saw Stella post a picture of strawberry pudding on her Twitter the other day. It looked delicious. Any hints on where she got it?”

Trevor added wood to the fireplace and said, “Stella made it herself.”

“Yeah,” Jaylene chimed in. “We still have some strawberries at home. Stella, you should fulfill Marshall’s New Year’s wish. If Keegan hesitated, and the pierogi on his plate did not seem appetizing anymore.
