Stella did not say a word. She would have thought Keegan was complimenting her if she did not know him well.
The pot of fish stew was delivered to Leighton’s residence half an hour later. As a famous celebrity, Leighton had strict rules about his food intake to maintain a healthy figure. He had been particularly opposed to eating at night since the start of his career. Other than when he was out for social gatherings, Leighton had never eaten anything after 8:00 p.m. Even if it was after a late-night shoot.

Leighton carefully carried the pot into the house and grunted, “Do restaurants give you their pots when you order from them?”
Estelle was stunned. “Don’t tell me it’s a gift from one of your fans. Are you in a relationship with them, you bastard? A good handful of people in the industry have met their downfall after dating their fans. Don’t you dare do the same!”

Estelle was confused. “When did that happen? Why didn’t you tell me? There isn’t much evidence in Andrea’s case. Why would you want to get into this mess?”
