Chapter 309

“He looks better than Keegan too. Why didn’t you fall for him back then?”

Stella was speechless. ‘What was this old man thinking?”

“Mr. Moore is Keegan’s friend. Please don’t talk nonsense here, great-grandpa. People might misunderstand.”

“I’m just saying,” Arthur slowly replied. “Keegan’s not bad either. He was playing chess with me the whole night yesterday. Although he ran back the moment he heard the thunderstorms, there’s still hope for him.”

Stella was once again speechless. “There’s still hope for him? What kind of comment is this?”

By the time they got back, Keegan was done packing, and he left the room. Everyone was enjoying the time left since there were only a few more hours before the ship docked.

Bella was singing enthusiastically to the audience in the restaurant, so she could wipe away her past humiliation. Well, to say the least, although Bella was horrible at acting, she could sing. After all, she did release a single. It was just that she would steal glances at Keegan from time to time when she sang, which was annoying. However, Keegan was busy replying to emails, so he did not pay attention to her amorous glances.

Stella peeled an orange and placed it in Keegan’s mouth. Keegan glanced at her and saw Stella smiling brightly. She said, “This is specially made to treat bruises and injuries.”

Keegan was dumbstruck. She then put another orange into Keegan’s mouth and said, “It’s sweet, right?”

Keegan narrowed his brows as the orange was not sweet at all. It was rather sour. But, he did. not spit it out.

Bella had an icy expression and clutched her hand when she saw their ‘lovey-dovey’ gesture. A chef-

like person came over and placed a dessert on the table while Stella was watching the show. Stella turned perplexed and asked, “I don’t think we ordered this.”

The man spoke in Spanish. So, Stella did not understand a word he said, but Keegan did, and his face clouded over. The man finished his speech with a sentence in broken English. “Enjoy your meal.”

After the person walked away, Stella asked, “What did he say?”

Keegan stared at her coldly and responded, “Did the spaghetti made by Marshall taste good?”

“Yep-” Stella was about to blurt that out, but she hurriedly changed. “What spaghetti?”

Keegan’s expression went dark, and Stella regretted it the moment she lied. ‘Keegan must have known something before he asked. He must be thinking that I’m guilty since I denied him so quickly.’

Stella tried to cover up. “Actually, it’s not bad, but not that good either. It’s not as good as the food you left for me.”

Keegan closed his laptop and walked out with a cold face. Stella could not stay anymore, so she rushed to catch up with him. “I’m serious. It wasn’t that nice. It was mainly because I was too hungry “I wanted to tell you at first, but you left so much good food for me. So, I didn’t have the heart to tell you I already ate. Mr. Kane, I didn’t want to lie to you. I-” Before Stella could finish her sentence, Keegan turned around, grabbed her waist, and kissed her lips.

Stella looked up in a daze. Keegan lowered his gaze to her lips and continued sucking it. They had never had such an intimate kiss, even when they were making out back then.

Stella’s face flushed, and she forcefully pushed him away. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Marshall not far away. She was startled and embarrassed at the same time.

Keegan caressed her lips with his thumb and said in his deep voice, “I won’t go easy on you next time.”

Stella was about to die from embarrassment and started swearing to find an excuse to sneak away.

Back in the cabin, Felicity had sent a message to Stella. [Bella, that bitch, was really up to no good.]

Stella was uncertain of what had happened. [What happened?]

(A media posted an article saying that they didn’t see Bella on the set of The Palace. They suspect that she’s not participating. Then, her studio sent out a bitchy statement today.]
