Chapter 120
Keegan twisted the strand of hair on his fingertips and nonchalantly said, “There’s a strand of gray hair.”
Stella looked down and saw that he really had a strand of gray hair in his hand.
She was so furious that she was at a loss for words. ‘Isn’t he aware that this is not the right time to pluck my gray hair? What is wrong with him? Is he sick or something?‘
The secret squabble between the two attracted everyone’s attention.
Trevor looked at the two of them and smiled. “The last time we met Keegan, we were high school students. I didn’t expect that in a blink of an eye, he had already married a smart and virtuous beauty.”
Stella smiled humbly, but what she thought was that Keegan finally had a discerning friend. “Stella is one of the most courageous ladies I have ever met,” said Marshall.
He then told everyone in detail about how Stella had rescued Jaylene in the restroom last night. Stella did not find her rescue of Jaylene to be a particularly impressive feat. After all, retrieving an object from a toilet bowl with her bare hands was hardly a desirable task, especially if it was not to save a life.
Marshall recounted Stella’s actions as if they were a tale of bravery. If she was not the main character in that tale, she would have thought that he was speaking of a different person; a
heroine.
Cordelia listened with immense pride and then started speaking highly of her granddaughter- in–law. The conversation shifted into a continuous stream of compliments for Stella.
Stella was happy at the beginning. But, when the conversation went further, she got embarrassed.
Keegan also looked at her with a cynical eye, as if he was questioning whether who they praised was the same person sitting in front of him.
As they chatted, Cordelia suddenly sighed, “When are you two going to give me a great- grandchild so that I will have no more regrets in my life?”
