Chapter 200

At that moment, the lights were all turned on. Stella squinted her eyes and was shocked when she saw who she was holding in her arms and yelped, “Mr. Moore?”

Keegan’s expression immediately turned ugly. He could see that Stella was hugging Marshall like an octopus. She had her head facing upwards with a dumb look on her face.

He gritted his teeth and said, “What are you doing?”

Stella came back to her senses and quickly released her grasp, but Keegan was quicker by a bit and grabbed her wrist. He then forcefully pried Stella from Marshall’s body. Stella’s wrists were hurting, but she did not care to cry out. Due to the embarrassment, she could only stay awkward.

Forget about hugging the wrong person; she even blackmailed the person and ridiculed their aunt.

Now, she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide from the embarrassment.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Moore. I’ve mistaken you for someone else,” Then, she complained quietly to Keegan, “Weren’t you beside me just now? Where did you go?”

Keegan said with an unhappy expression, “You were the one hugging someone else and not letting go, yet you have the audacity to blame me?”

Stella choked on his words. ‘Son of a bitch, doesn’t he know how to give me a way out?’

In the end, Marshall said, “Based on the situation, it’s normal to mistake anyone for someone else.

Besides, I have the same physique as Keegan.”

That sentence helped Stella ease the awkwardness. In actual fact, what Marshall said was also true.

He did have the same physique as Keegan, and the smell of their clothes had a slight tinge of rosin.

Therefore, it caused Stella to confuse them both.

“I met Vermont earlier. He said that both of you came over here, so I came to look for you,” Marshall said.

Then, Stella remembered that she had rejected Marshall’s invitation previously. Instead, she had appeared at the jewelry exhibition. She figured that he might feel unhappy about it, so Stella quickly explained, “Grandma told me she wanted to come and take a look. We were worried, so we came with her.”

“I saw Mrs. Kane Sr.” There were many people around, so everyone talked loudly. Marshall said, “There are too many people here, and Keegan still has his injuries. He might get bumped into easily. I’ll bring us to the front where there are seats.”

If Carter had left a good impression on Keegan, then Marshall was definitely an angel. He was kind, polite, and gentle. Regardless of whatever he was doing or saying, he was thoughtful and would not leave anyone feeling uncomfortable.

‘He’s such a perfect man… How did he become friends with a bastard like Keegan?’ Thinking of that, Stella threw a disdainful glance at Keegan.

Keegan was very confused by that. Then, Stella turned her eyes into crescents and spoke to Marshall in a gentle manner. “Sorry for troubling you, Mr. Moore.”

Keegan was shocked by the interaction. Marshall then led them through the crowd. Just as they reached the front row, a silhouette ran over and pounced into Marshall’s arms, Marshall, where did you go?”

”

Who else could have such a coquettish voice besides Aurora? Marshall’s expression was slightly helpless. He stretched his arms to pat her shoulders. “Aurora, you’re an adult now. There are so many people looking, and it wouldn’t be good for us. Let go of your hands.”

Aurora begged coquettishly, “No, I haven’t seen you for days.”

When Dahlia’s resigned voice came from behind, Marshall still wanted to say something. Look at the child. Aurora is already over twenty years old, yet she still acts like a child. She still loves to stick to Marshall. What was she thinking?”

A slightly plump and pretty woman laughed. “She is still a child, right? She had been playing with groups of kids since she was young and was closest to Marshall. How could she change within such a short time?”

“Even if she can’t change, she must change. She is already a grown-up. If she keeps staying like this, what would she look like when Marshall has a girlfriend in the future?”

The pretty woman smiled and said, “Then, wouldn’t it be best to let Aurora be my daughter-in – law?”
