Jaylene immediately said, “It’s orange chicken, one of my favorite dishes.
Keegan, have you not tried it before?”
Keegan said, “It doesn’t sound like something I’d normally eat,” he paused before continuing, “I wouldn’t mind giving it a try.”
Jaylene thought Keegan was trying it for her, so she was overjoyed and quickly served the dish to him.
The maid who was supposed to serve the chickpea salad to Keegan moved the dish to Stella’s side.
Stella momentarily paused and immediately scooped some of that onto her plate.
Next, Keegan told Jaylene to get him all the heavy dishes and did not eat any of the vegetables at all. And the maid who was supposed to serve him the vegetables went to Stella’s side.
It did not seem like a coincidence.
After a short while, Stella was already full.
Wenham could not hold himself back anymore and said,” There are so many other dishes on the table. Why are you only eating the meat?”
His precious daughter had not eaten a bite of her favorite dishes, yet Keegan was feasting like a king, choosing only the dishes he wanted to eat.
Darcie noticed what was happening and chimed in, “Jaylene, mind your manners.”
Jaylene’s face blushed with embarrassment. She simply wanted to please Keegan and did not think much about it.
At this moment, Keegan finally spoke, as if defending Jaylene, “Jaylene, you don’t have to keep helping me. I can get the food I want myself. You should eat more. You’ve lost so much weight lately.”
Jaylene’s heart melted, “Thank you, Keegan.”
Stella kept quiet.
Perhaps Keegan used to put all his attention on herself and did not really have any interactions with Jaylene, so she did not really notice anything.
However, now that she looked at how Jaylene reacted to what Keegan said, she realized that Jaylene was truly obsessed with Keegan.
Keegan did not even serve her any food, but she was already moved just because he told her she should eat more.
Stella figured that if Keegan served her something, she would preserve it and put it in a box. She could feel that Jaylene’s affection for Keegan was more than just admiration.
