Chapter 1885

When Keegan offered to take care of Stella’s drink, she immediately sensed Wenham and Trevor exhale with relief.

Marshall chuckled, “We can call an Uber later. Come on. It’s New Year’s Eve.”

Keegan glanced at him and said, “Like you said, it’s New Year’s Eve. We should let the Uber drivers rest.”

Initially, this statement appeared logical. However, it revealed several discrepancies upon closer examination. Individuals seeking rest would not actively take ride orders, while those who were motivated to earn more income would likely welcome the opportunity.

However, Keegan did not give Marshall time to react. He directly lifted the glass and finished it in one gulp.

Stella sat nearby and watched without intervening.

Upon seeing this, Marshall chuckled again and downed his glass as well.

Stella picked up the bottle and poured everyone another round. “Make a toast to Marshall on my behalf. I wish him a successful career and a wonderful love life in the new year.”

Keegan looked at the wine in front of him and fell silent.

Stella glanced at him and said, “If it’s inconvenient, then I’ll-“

Keegan picked up the glass and glared at her. He clinked the glass against Marshall’s and down the drink once more.

Marshall raised his glass to Stella and said, “Thank you.”

Stella poured another glass for Keegan. “This one is for Trevor. I wish him peace and happiness with an abundance of wealth.”

Keegan clenched his fists. “Can’t you just toast everyone at once?”

“Of course not. Everyone’s blessings are different. Doing it one by one shows that I care.”

After saying that, she looked at Keegan. “If you can’t handle your alcohol, I can raise the toasts myself.”

“Who said I can’t handle it? Watch me!” Keegan gritted his teeth.

Stella smirked and said, “We’ll see.”

Under Stella’s encouragement, Keegan drank a toast for everyone at the table, including himself. His face was flushed by the time it ended.

Stella saw that he had enough and paid no more attention to him.

Instead, she turned to chat with everyone.

Wenham had an excellent tolerance for alcohol and drank a lot that night. On the other hand, Darcie was worried and kept advising him not to drink more.

In terms of drinking, Wenham was quite obedient to Darcie. Seeing that she seemed unhappy, he told her he would stop.

“By the way, a friend brought me a photo album from the Jewell residence when it was auctioned off a while ago,” he said.

Taken aback, Stella asked, “What photo album?”

“It contains some of your childhood photos. I think Ms. Spade kept them. When the people cleaned up the place, they accidentally damaged the album. I had someone repair it, and I just got it back a few days ago.”

Stella was shocked to know that Rainee had secretly kept some of her photos.

“What does it look like?” she asked.

Stella had quite a few photos of herself as a child, all of which were at Keegan’s place. However, they were all photos taken after she was ten. There were very few from before she turned ten.

Rainee was very busy with work and rarely took her to take pictures. After turning ten, Stella was old enough to take photos without Rainee accompanying her.

“Wait here. I’ll go grab it for you,” said Wenham.

He got up and went to the study room. After a short while, he came back holding a box.

After that, he opened the box to reveal a thick photo album. The album looked vintage. It was slightly damaged at the corners but had already been patched up and looked fine.

Wenham flipped to the first page, and Stella leaned in to look.

It was a photo of her in a swaddle cloth. Stella had never seen the picture before.
