Chapter 1409
Stella’s mouth formed a thin line.
‘Cunning face…
‘That description seems to suit you better, Trevor.’
Stella sighed and said, “Trevor, I believe you can find someone better than him, but I won’t like any of them.
“I can’t deny that Keegan has his flaws. He could be mean, stubborn, and difficult to deal with, but he also has redeeming qualities. He would try to cheer me up whenever he made me angry. He wouldn’t get mad at me even if I locked him out. He has never gotten physical with me. He doesn’t force me to do anything I don’t want to do, and if there’s something I like, he buys it immediately without looking at the price. Also, even if I hit him when we argue, he would never raise his hand against me.”
Trevor retorted, “Not hitting you is literally the least he can do. How can that be considered a good quality?”
“Let me finish.” Stella continued softly, “After divorce, many couples would speak ill of each other in the worst way possible, but Keegan has never said a bad word about me in front of anybody else. Trevor, I’ve always thought you can judge a person’s character by how they act after a breakup. Things got very unpleasant when Keegan and I divorced, and he could’ve easily ruined my life if he wanted to. A person’s character is what makes the marriage last, right?
I’m very confident in Keegan’s character, and I’m willing to give him another chance.”
Trevor was about to say something, but Stella interrupted him.
“I know you’ve always hated Keegan because he did not give me any of his wealth after the divorce. However, it was my choice to leave him with nothing. I despised him because of some misunderstandings back then and desperately wanted to break free from that marriage. But in fact, he did actually give me something.
“He transferred so much money to me that I could live comfortably for the rest of my life without working. But he has never mentioned anything about that to you, right? He has not spoken a word about it, although you kept on blaming him. You’ve known him since you were a kid. Don’t you know that he’s the kind of person who always does more than he says?
“That’s just how he is. Actually, he’s changed a lot now, and… ” Stella cleared her throat before continuing, “And you only see Keegan’s flaws and not mine. There are very few people who can tolerate my temper.”
Keegan was actually doing men a favor.
Trevor asked, “What flaws do you have? Your only flaw is being blind. Otherwise, you wouldn’t fall for him.”
His words left Stella utterly speechless.
