Chapter 1224
When Keegan watched Stella walk inside, he wondered if Leighton would beat Trevor right then and there after discovering that she was his cousin. Keegan tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and picked up his phone to call Leighton.
Leighton’s phone rang after taking just a few steps. He got upset as soon as he saw the incoming call from Keegan.
Keegan was not only the ex-husband of Stella but also her current boyfriend. There was no way Leighton would be happy to receive a call from him. However, Leighton answered the call anyway after considering what Keegan had done to help him before.
“What is it?”
Leighton spoke coldly, showing no interest in talking with Keegan. But Keegan was not bothered. He figured Leighton would eventually realize he was far more “affectionate” toward him than his immoral cousin, Trevor.
“On your left,” Keegan spoke flatly.
Leighton paused and turned his head to look. Then, he saw the window of a Mercedes slowly rolling down next to them. Keegan was sitting in the driver’s seat while holding his phone.
Keegan hung up the phone after meeting Leighton’s gaze. Then, he raised his hand to gesture him to come over.
Leighton walked over suspiciously. “What are you doing here?”
“Just waiting for a friend,” Keegan replied.
“Oh,” Leighton said indifferently. “Why did you call me then?”
“How was the fish stew? Stella wanted me to ask you about it, but I got too busy and forgot. Was it delicious?”
Leighton kept quiet. His memory of the taste of that pot of fish stew had been replaced by how Trevor beat him up.
