Chapter 1183
Vermont did not quite believe Stella’s denial of knowing Spencer. He could tell that something was off judging by her reaction. It seemed like there was more to them than just classmates.
He was about to say something when Stella interrupted him, “Let’s go grab some food, Felicity.”
“Okay. Sure,” Felicity replied.
Once the two women left the table, Vermont leaned into Keegan’s ear and whispered, “There’s something fishy going on with your partner. She’s the type who can’t take her eyes off a handsome guy, but she barely looks at Spencer. She would even avert her gaze everytime their eyes met. Since when she has ever been shy around guys?”
Vermont’s words caused Keegan to suspect that something was going on. He had also noticed Stella’s unusual behavior, but he still chose to defend her for now. “Is she acting shy? I hadn’t noticed. It seems to me that she doesn’t find him attractive.”
Vermont did not say a word. ‘I didn’t know Keegan could be so protective over Stella,’ he thought. ‘Still, I think there’s more to the story than what she is letting on.’
At the food section of the wedding, Stella grabbed an egg tart for Felicity with a pair of tongs.
Felicity picked up the pastry and ate it as she asked, “Stella, isn’t Spencer your ex-boyfriend whom you dated for two weeks before you guys broke up?”
Stella did not answer. Felicity confirmed her suspicions after seeing her reaction. “Ah hah! I knew it! There’s no way you would forget him since we’ve only graduated not too long ago, especially since he’s so good- looking.”
Stella sighed. “Please don’t say anything about this in front of Keegan, or he’ll get upset.”
“He might’ve been fine with it if you had just admitted it earlier. Why did you even pretend like you didn’t know Spencer? I’d be upset too if I were Keegan.” Felicity paused a while before saying, “Wait a minute. They look so similar; you clearly have a type. You’re not using Keegan as Spencer’s substitute, are you?*
Stella’s eyelids twitched when she heard that. “What are you talking about? They’re nothing alike. You’ve been watching too many dramas.’
