‘Keegan claims that he doesn’t remember me, so why would he have a reaction when I touched him? He’s someone who’d watch an adult film and criticize their acting skills with a straight face. Why would he possibly have a reaction when a completely strange woman touched him? i ‘Impossible… It’s simply impossible!
‘Let’s see how long this scum is going to keep up the act!’ Stella thought inwardly.
After a while, Wenham also came downstairs.
Although he was still very unhappy about the fact that Keegan had lost his memories, his daughter was still in love with him. So, he stopped saying anything unpleasant.
Everyone took their seats at the dining table.
Trevor did not join them as he had something to take care of. So, Marshall took his seat between Stella and Wenham.
As for Keegan, he took the seat between Jaylene and Darcie.
At first glance, it looked like the two daughters had brought their respective husbands back to their parents’ home for a meal.
Wenham had imagined this scene before; his children started their own families and gathered at home during special occasions. However, it was nothing like how awkward things were now.
Wenham served Marshall a piece of chicken and asked in a gentle tone, “Marshall, how has work been?”
Marshall thanked him and said, “It’s all right. It’s the holiday season now that there are hardly any cases. I’m mainly involved in voluntary legal assistance and educating the public about law.”
Wenham nodded, “Good, they’re all very meaningful stuff. Stella mentioned that you were the one who helped her with her defamation lawsuit. Is that true?”
“Yeah, that was when we had just met.”
Wenham suddenly asked Stella, “Stella, why didn’t you think of letting Marshall help you with your divorce lawsuit back then? With his capabilities, I’m sure he wouldn’t have let you leave with nothing, right?”
Keegan remained silent.
Stella said in a low voice, “Dad, I did get something after the divorce. People were just spreading rumors.”
Not only did Keegan transfer her a substantial amount of money after the divorce, but she also received two multimillion-dollar luxury homes.
Stella knew that Wenham deliberately said those things for Keegan to hear because he was unhappy with him.
However, it was something that had happened a long time ago. She could joke with Keegan about it, but she did not want other people to make fun of him.
