Chapter 260

Stella immediately hung up on Keegan after picking up his call, even though they were not in a quarrel.

Vermont did not dare laugh. “Maybe she accidentally pressed the ‘end call’ button? Try again.”

Keegan called Stella for a second time, and the same thing happened. She answered the call and hung up right after. Keegan’s face darkened after it happened again a few more times.

Vermont coughed lightly and said, “Let me try.” Within seconds, the call was connected.” Hello?”

Stella’s voice sounded soft.

Vermont glanced at the person next to him, who had a sullen face, and said, “Stella, someone is treating for dinner tonight. Are you gonna come “I can’t believe you’re willing to treat me to a meal,” Stella joked. Vermont was famous for being on the receiving end of dinner treats. He would only treat someone else to dinner when he wanted something from them.

“Oh, it’s not me. Cater wanted to treat you to dinner since Jurisdiction is a big hit.”

‘Lena had invited me for dinner before, but I rejected her invitation. She probably realized that I wouldn’t go because we weren’t very familiar with each other. So she asked Carter to invite me through Vermont… Stella thought about it for a while and asked, “Where and when?”

“Text me where you’re at, and I’ll pick you up.”

“No, that’s fine. I drove today.”

“Then… you come and pick me up. I’m at Nine Avenue.”

‘Is he short on gas?! Stella thought. After hanging up the phone, Stella said goodbye to Baldwin and drove from Cordelia’s residence.

When Baldwin went to inform Cordelia about Stella’s departure, the old lady was eating the pelmeni that Stella had brought. Stella had wrapped each of the pelmeni by hand to show that she was sincere in apologizing to her Her cooking skills were average, but the pelmeni were wrapped very well. Stella had sent several boxes of homemade pelmeni to the old lady, and she had been enjoying them for days.
