Chapter 1135
Stella’s face darkened, and she hit him on the shoulders.” I’m not the one to blame if you fail at cooking. It must be because you lack talent!”
“Okay. So I lack talent. Can you invest more of your attention on me, Ms. Jewell?” Keegan chuckled.
“Stop fooling around and drive. The fish’s gonna go bad if we don’t get home soon,” Stella urged as she fastened her seat belt. Keegan stopped talking and began to drive.
When they arrived, Stella went upstairs to change. Keegan had just taken off his coat when his phone rang. It was Trevor. ‘He’s definitely calling to talk about the incident.’
As Keegan expected, Trevor questioned him as soon as he answered the phone. “I allowed Stella to stay with you, and this is how you take care of her? I should’ve gotten her out of there from the start!”
Keegan put his phone on the table and went to pour himself a glass of water. He did not listen to a single word of Trevor’s subsequent complaints and accusations since he already knew what he would say. Trevor no longer held back ever since Keegan found out about Stella’s identity. He had been acting strange the past few days, sending pictures of Stella being intimate with her photo shoot partners to Keegan in the late nights.
Keegan had a good idea of what his childhood friend,
Trevor, was trying to do. ‘He’s clearly trying to make me mad and use it as an excuse to get Stella out of here. Stella had always been one to put family first. She’ll probably follow Trevor’s unreasonable request of breaking things off with me once she meets the family. So, I can’t retaliate right now, no matter how harsh Trevor’s words can be. The mall incident happened under my watch. There’s no way he’ll let me go easily without giving me a scolding.’
Seeing that there was no response from Keegan, Trevor’s face darkened as he said, “I asked you a question, Keegan! Why isn’t Stella answering my calls? Did you ask her not to pick up the phone?”
Keegan put his glass down and nicely said, “What are you talking about, my dear brother-in-law? I wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing. You know I want to remarry her.”
