Chapter 938

However, Keegan did not dare to speak his thoughts out loud.

He took the pair of socks over and put them in a bag. Then, he asked curiously, “How did you know that they were acting?”

Stella answered, ”1 wasn’t sure at first. It’s a pretty normal thing to encounter a snobbish salesperson like her, but she was just way too arrogant. She didn’t even think she did something wrong after her manager came, and she still provoked me in front of her manager by repeatedly saying that I couldn’t afford them. That was when I knew something fishy was going on.

The manager was acting rather strangely too. All she did was tell the salesperson off without actually penalizing her. Also, did you notice how they kept looking at your wrist? Your match is the most valuable thing you put on today. They probably thought that you’re a foolish rich man and I’m your pretty sugar baby who happens to be stupid. That was why they tried to provoke and fool us into buying everything.”

Then, she proudly said, “They were right about you but not me. How could I let them take advantage of me?”

Not only that Stella did not let that happen, but she also played them. She figured that they should be honest in what they were doing instead of doing something like that.

Keegan rubbed the top of her head. ’You could’ve just bought the dresses. You don’t have anything to prove to them anyway. Did you think about the time you wasted on them?”

“I have plenty of time to waste. I’m free tonight anyway.”

Keegan paused. “I don’t. I only have so little time to spend with you, yet you wasted twenty minutes on other people. I don’t even know when I’m going to see you again after today.”

Stella paused and thought that what he said was funny. She grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, “Let’s go home earlier tonight and spend more time together then.”

Keegan’s mood immediately became better.

Julian was accepted by Stag University in Salcator, and he was going to leave on Thursday next week by train.

He wanted to continue studying in Rivera, but Trinity University was the only place with a reputation for the course he wanted to enroll in. He asked for Keegan’s opinion and decided to settle for Stag University.

He would be more than a thousand miles away from Shelley after leaving this time, and Shelley already knew she would miss him a lot. So, she crocheted a blanket for him and went everywhere to buy him some daily necessities.

Julian brought them to check out his luggage, about three and a half feet tall and sighed. “Ms. Cooke gave me everything that she probably could. There are so many things. I don’t think I can even get on the train with all these.”

Stella poked his head. “Be grateful that you have someone who loves you.”

“Don’t mess my hair up.”

So, Stella wrapped her arm around his neck and rubbed his head until his hair turned into a chicken nest.

Julian wanted to fight back, but Keegan grabbed his collar. “You can’t treat a woman the same way she treats you.”

Julian’s eyelid twitched.

Then, he said to himself. ‘You were rather quiet when your wife laid her hands on me. You make it too obvious that you’re biased.’

Stella went to help Shelly with the barbeque after bullying Julian. Keegan wanted to follow her, but Julian stopped him.

“Keegan, please take care of the welfare center and Stella when I’m not around.’

Keegan paused. “What did you call me?”

Julian paused and realized his mistake. “Brother-in-law.”

Keegan put on a satisfied look. “We’re family. Don’t worry about it.”

Julian kept quiet. Then, he softly asked, “Have you managed to get Stella back?”

Keegan corrected him. ’We just got into a small argument, that’s all. It’s normal between a wife and a husband, understand?”

Julian kept quiet.

Tm actually shameless by how shameless he could be.’

“Oh, yes. Someone came to make a donation at the welfare center previously. I overheard what he said, and he kept asking Ms. Cooke about Stella and Ms. Spade.”
