Chapter 1806
Keegan stared at the leaves for a while before saying, “It’s not symmetrical.”
Then, with a gentle flick of his finger, he made one leaf fall off. Satisfied, he remarked, “There, that looks better.”
Tm going to kill him!’ Stella seethed inwardly.
She gritted her teeth and swiftly reclaimed her cherished plant. “You’re such a troublemaker!” she snapped.
Keegan grabbed her hand. “It’s getting late. Maria can help you out tomorrow.”
“Maria doesn’t really know how. She just waters them, but some flowers don’t need much water. I haven’t been here for a while, and many of my flowers died. I cant just leave them alone.”
Gently cradling the potted succulent, she turned to Keegan with a smile. “Do you think it’s beautiful?”
Keegan found himself ensnared in her sparkling eyes.
Stella did not have any makeup on, revealing smooth skin, and her disheveled hair cascaded gently around her ears.
In the breeze, her hair danced, and her long lashes fluttered slightly. Keegan couldn’t help but feel his heart race at the sight.
Feeling flustered, he awkwardly averted his gaze. “Yeah,” he mumbled.
“Once its roots are in place, you can place it in your office desk. When you’re mad, just look at it and see your angry face,” Stella teased with a smile. “It looks so much like you.”
Only then did Keegan realize that the plant in the cup was a gourd, the same one from Plants vs. Zombies.
His face immediately darkened.
Just as he was about to leave, Stella stood up. Suddenly, her vision went black, and she stumbled.
Startled, Keegan swiftly grabbed her arm. “Are you okay?” he asked.
Stella stood still for a moment, regaining her composure. “I probably stayed crouched for too long, and my vision went blank when I stood up suddenly,” she explained softly.
With a tense expression, Keegan took the cup from her hand and led her back into the house. “Forget about your plants. You should go to sleep.”
