Chapter 1137
“You’re the one who’s been working so hard to teach me, Ms. Jewell. You should be the one who takes the first sip,” said Keegan.
“All I did was order you around. You’re the one who put in the work. So, after you,” Stella insisted.
Keegan put on a generous act and said, “Fish stew is great for healing wounds.”
Stella did not back down. “Fish stew is good for the brain. You should drink up since you use your brain so much at work.”
Keegan looked at the bowl of stew that radiated a strange smell before him and pondered for a moment. “Why don’t we order takeout instead?” he suggested.
“It would be a pity if we just throw this out, though. The fish was 30 dollars per pound,” Stella pretentiously said.
“That’s true.” Keegan thought about it for a moment and continued, “I know a way to not waste it.”
“What’s the plan?” Stella curiously asked.
Keegan did not say anything. He took a picture of the pot of stew with his phone and sent it to Leighton.
Leighton was lying on the couch, looking at the news online about the incident at the mall earlier that afternoon. Then, he received the photo from Keegan. [What’s this?] he asked. [Stella cooked this pot of stew as a thank you for providing details about Andrea. Send me your address, and I’ll deliver it to you,] Keegan replied.
Leighton immediately sat up from the couch and typed, [ Stella made it?]
[She purposely went to the market this afternoon to pick out a fresh fish for you. The incident wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t gone out to buy the fish,] Keegan lied through his teeth.
