Chapter 1429
"There's nothing to worry about."
Keegan consoled Stella.
"It doesn't matter how cunning or evil she may be.She can never hurt you as long as I'm here."
Stella smiled and snuggled into his arms.
"I'm not worried about her hurting me if she does it to my face.I'm just afraid that she might secretly set me up while I still see her as a considerate and thoughtful person, catching me off guard."
Keegan thought for a moment before he said, "Darcie managed to get together with Uncle Sean back then, despite being a divorced single mother, before taking control of Enchanted.I'm sure that she's more than just an ordinary woman."
He figured that they should be more cautious when dealing with Darcie in the future.
Stella thought about what Trevor told her and suddenly said, "The banquet is tomorrow, yet my brother hasn't contacted me all day."
"He went to Salcator," Keegan said.
"What?"
Keegan hugged her tighter.
"The Hall family is rooted in Salcator, and their relatives and friends are all there.They're all influential and reputable people.Your return to the Saun family is a big matter, so Trevor has to extend the invitation in person as a sign of sincerity on how serious the Saun family is about this banquet.On the other hand, Uncle Wenham is responsible for dealing with the people in Rivera.There'll be a lot of prominent figures coming to the banquet tomorrow.You should prepare yourself for it to avoid feeling nervous."
Stella replied, "Don't worry.Although I can be shy sometimes, I'm good at pretending I'm not."
"You're being humble.I don't think you're a shy person at all." Stella kept quiet.She then gritted her teeth and grasped his throat.
"You don't even bother to pretend anymore now that your probation is over, huh?" Keegan bent down and lifted her.
"I'm just telling the truth.You might lose sight of who you really are if I keep buttering you with lies."
He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
"I'm marrying a woman who loves to lie, brag, be greedy, and lustful.Do you really want me to pretend I'm marrying a flawless fairy?"
