Chapter 1456
Ariel suppressed her words and bid farewell before leaving the venue with her son. Once they were gone, Stella turned to Keegan and said, “Marshall’s mother is a little strange. Why did she give me her younger son’s pendant as a sign of gratitude? It feels like a movie where the protagonist can make requests by holding on to a certain family heirloom.”
Keegan stayed silent. At first, he did not understand Ariel’s intentions. However, after hearing her words, he seemed to grasp it.
Ariel likely sensed Marshall’s feelings for Stella. She came here to sever any lingering romantic ties between them.
Whether it was adopting Stella as her goddaughter or giving her the pendant, her objective was clear. She wanted to push them into a sibling relationship and extinguish any romantic sentiments Marshall might have.
Stella tugged at Keegan’s sleeve. “Hey, I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you responding?”
Keegan returned to reality and calmly said, “How should I know what she means? Maybe she finds you charming and adorable.” He had no interest in playing messenger for Marshall’s affections.
Stella was taken aback. ‘Smooth,’ she thought.
Meanwhile, Marshall’s face remained cold. It was not until they were in the car that he spoke in a low voice. “I’ve been
able to control my feelings well, mom. There’s really no need for this.”
Ariel pressed her lips together, and after a long while, she said, “I can see she still has feelings for Keegan.”
