Chapter 517

So, even if Keegan kept yawning, he still held Stella’s hand tightly. Stella’s arms were wet from the sweat of his palms. She could not help but say,” Go to bed if you’re sleepy.”

Keegan half-closed his eyes and said, “I’ll sleep when the money is saved on your card, or you’ll have to leave again.”

Stella was speechless. She said to herself, TH leave regardless if I save the money or not. We’re already divorced. This place is no longer my home.’

However, Stella did not say anything when she saw Keegan’s stubbornness. Even if she had said something to him, he would not remember when he woke up.

“Stella.” Keegan hugged her, lay on the pile of money, and called her softly. But, Stella said nothing.

“Stella.” Keegan could not get her response, so he called her again. Stella whispered, “What?”

“Don’t fall in love with Trevor.” Keegan rubbed her neck and whispered, “I’ll change what you think I’m bad at, but I can’t change my face. Look at me more frequently. It’ll be pleasing to your eyes after you see it more.”

As soon as Stella was slightly moved, Keegan continued, “I used to think that you were not good-

looking enough. Your eyes were not big enough, your nose was not straight enough, and your smile was weird. But, it looks like you’re getting prettier after looking at you for a long time.”

The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched. Suddenly, she wanted to grab a wad of money and stuff it into Keegan’s mouth. He nagged and whispered a lot in her ear. Stella could not remember clearly, but she was annoyed by his voice and fell asleep without even knowing.

The money was good to look at but was uncomfortable to sleep on. Stella woke up the next day with the banknotes under her body. When she opened her eyes, she looked at the familiar ceiling and the room full of banknotes. It took Stella a few minutes to remember what had happened last night.

Keegan was still slumbering with his arms tightly around her waist. Stella took his hand away and looked at her phone. It was only after six o’clock. She called Aldor, but he still did not answer.

Stella estimated the time and felt that Keegan was about to wake up. So, she called Vermont. On the phone, she just told Vermont that something had happened to Keegan. She then asked him to come over and help deal with it.

Vermont was still asleep at first. But, when he heard that Stella had spent the night with Keegan, he immediately regained his energy. He put on his clothes, cleaned up, and drove to Royalpark Villa.

Keegan was woken up by the doorbell. He frowned and was very displeased for being woken up. It took him some time to sit up. When he sat up, he realized that he was not on the bed. He looked down at the place and pursed his lips.

Vermont yelled outside for a long time before Keegan came out to open the door.

Vermont saw that Keegan was bleary-eyed and had not even changed his clothes. He immediately made up a drama and said with the corners of his lips curled up, “You’re amazing. I thought you would take some time, but you got her back quick.”

Vermont then opened the door and walked in. “Where is Stella? She said something happened to you here. What’s going on… Fucking hell!”

Vermont stood on the porch, looked at the room full of banknotes, and shouted, “Did you rob the bank last night?”

Keegan rubbed his temples. The hangover gave him a severe headache.” Why are you here?”

“Your wife… Your ex-wife asked me to come here.” Vermont forced his eyes to shift away from the money. “She called me after six o’clock and said something happened to you. She asked me to come here and deal with it.”

Vermont paused and continued, “Was she talking about you robbing the bank?”

Keegan ignored his words and frowned. “Did Stella call you? Was she with me last night?”

Vermont was left speechless.
