Chapter 1313
Keegan lightly traced his fingers across Stella’s palm. She looked at him and saw his nonchalant face. Then, he gently pinched her fingers.
Stella lowered her gaze and smiled.
Trevor patted Jaylene lightly. “We’ve been here for a while. The journey was long, so I took everyone upstairs to rest before coming down.”
Jaylene looked at them and said politely, “Mr. Snyder, Ms. Thompson, thank you for attending my birthday celebration today.”
She noticeably paused when her gaze fell on Keegan. Then, she continued softly, “Keegan, thank you for coming.”
Keegan could clearly sense a piercing gaze from his girlfriend on him as soon as Jaylene thanked him.
He could not figure out why Jaylene had to thank him separately. Then, he replied flatly, “Don’t mention it. I didn’t bring any expensive gift today anyway.”
He felt the need to clarify things before his girlfriend misunderstood anything. So, he purposely emphasized the word “expensive.”
Jaylene smiled. “It’s the thought that counts.”
Keegan was speechless.
Jaylene finally shifted her gaze to Stella after talking to Keegan. Her smile faded a little as she greeted Stella politely, “Ms. Jewell, long time no see.”
Trevor frowned. “Jaylene, just call Stella by her first name from now. Her last name will be changed back.”
Trevor despised the last name “Jewell.” He would even feel better about it if Stella’s last name was “Kane.”
Jaylene quickly apologized, “I’m sorry. I just thought I’d cause trouble by addressing you wrongly before the news is publicly announced.”
Stella looked at her briefly and said flatly, “Don’t worry about it. It’s just a form of address. Call me whatever you like, Ms. Saun.”
Felicity murmured softly, “What a hypocrite!
