Chapter 67

“I’ll be honest with you. Not even my family members know that I’m a voice actor. I’m afraid that they’ll find out what I’m doing if I were to initiate the lawsuit with my own name.”

‘This isn’t considered lying, right?”

Marshall understood Stella. “We can use your friend’s name then, but you have to make sure that she’ll be fully involved in this case and appear in court.”

“No problem.”

Then, Stella told Felicity about what happened and gave her information to Marshall.

“Felicity Thompson?” Marshall was confused. “Do you share the same last name with your friend?”

Stella smiled awkwardly. “Yeah.”

Marshall grinned. “How lucky is that ”

Stella felt like she was a cat on a hot tin roof.

“Ms. Thompson, you don’t have anything else to do later, right?”

Marshall looked up and asked.

“Is this going to take long?”

“It’s not that.” Marshall laughed. “I just wanted to ask you out for a meal.”

Stella planned to leave right after she got everything sorted out, but she thought that it would be rude to reject him.

“Sure, but I’ll be the one paying. You’ve been so busy the whole morning, and you already helped me once last time. I should be the one treating you to a meal.”

Marshall did not refuse it as he asked with a smile, “What do you feel like eating?”

“Let’s eat something you like. I’m not a picky eater, so I’ll be fine with anything.”

Marshall thought to himself for a moment before he said, “Let’s have some local Rivera cuisine, then.”

“Sure.”

Marshall was a very decisive person perhaps because of what he did for a living. He came up with his own idea very quickly after Stella gave up on picking a restaurant and went on with it.

They walked to the restaurant from the coffee shop.

The restaurant that Marshall wanted to bring her to was located around the universities on the next street.

That area did not have a lot of parking spots, so they decided to walk there.

Stella was very familiar with that area, as she and Keegan were both a graduate of Trinity Film Academy However, Keegan was in the north campus, while she was in the south campus, which was nearer to the food in the city The restaurants in that area were the source of her happiness during her university days because of how delicious and affordable they were.

Students who majored in art like them took their body shapes very seriously. However, Sella loved to eat very much, and she would often ask Felicity to have supper with her for about a year Surprisingly, Stella got skinnier by two pounds, but Felicity grew fatter by more than ten pounds.

Felicity thought that she was just the type of person who could not get fat no matter how much they eat.

In fact, Stella’s instructor would force her to put in extra work during every physical education she went to after putting her on the weighing scale. Stella would swear to herself never to have supper again after that. But, she just could not resist her own temptations whenever she got fitter over and over again.

Stella thought that the time she had in university was the happiest and most relaxed. She could remember how hopeful and positive she was toward her future too.

She seemed like she lived a worry–free life after getting married to Keegan, but nobody knew that she had been living in fear She would always worry that Keegan would choose Bella over her. She noticed that Keegan had been doing better and better in his career, yet she could only live in his social circle as only his wife. Stella would sometimes lose sleep at night when she thought about the gap between them.

How could she live while depending entirely on another person? Besides, that person did not even love her The fact that she could not offer anything to Keegan was why she felt so empty inside.

Stella believed that their marriage would end sooner or later even without the existence of Bella.

Stella could never get used to Keegan’s favorite Fredrus cuisine, and Keegan would not go to these cheap restaurants in front of her university to reminisce about the old times.

Their lives should have never crossed each other.

“It’s a little crowded right now. We might need to wait for a while.”

Marshall looked at her and asked, “The food here is not bad, but their setup is a little simple. Are you fine with this? We can go to another place with a better atmosphere if you’re not okay with this.”

Stella came around and shook her head. “It’s fine. Don’t worry about me. I always come here to eat when I was in university. I just didn’t expect that you’d choose this place.”

Marshall was a little surprised. “You used to go to the university in this area?”
