Chapter 117
There was no response from behind, but the tug at his sleeves remained. Keegan soft- heartedly said, “Stella, stop messing around. This won’t work on me.”
He turned around as he spoke, only to lower his gaze soon after.
A little girl about the height of his thigh was pulling at his sleeve. Then, she softly said, Mister, you’re stepping on my flower.”
Keegan did not say a word.
He lowered his head only to see his right foot stepping on a lily–shaped paper.
He bent over, picked up the paper flower, squatted, and handed it over to the little girl.‘ Where’s your mommy?”
As the girl was about to speak, a man came running as he called the girl’s name.
The little girl’s father held her hand and left after he thanked Keegan.
Keegan looked around before he saw a familiar figure in the men’s clothing store.
He went into the shop with a gloomy face and happened to see Stella picking out neckties.
The irritation that built up in his heart dissolved instantly.
Stella was of two minds about two neckties. She turned her head around and asked Keegan, ” Which do you think looks better?”
Keegan pretended to glance calmly and indifferently said, “The one with blue stripes.”
Stella placed the neckties at his neck for comparison and shook her head. “The blue one suits you, but not him.”
Keegan’s body stalled for a moment as his facial expression turned cold. “Him? Who is him?”
Stella, who was unaware of Keegan’s change in mood, replied as she continued selecting. “Mr. Moore, of course. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t know how long I would be stuck in the restroom. Since I don’t know how to repay him, I thought I should give him a tie as a gift because we just so happened to be at the mall today.”
Goodwill must be repaid eventually, but having a meal together was a little awkward. Besides, giving a gift would save a lot of trouble in comparison.
