That was everything Keegan could remember about that night.
Someone saved him.
Stella thought about when Keegan probed Jaylene; she said she had found him on the shore.
So, there were two possibilities: either Jaylene had lied, or she had been the one who had rescued Keegan from the water.
However, Stella immediately dismissed this possibility.
Jaylene never hid what she had done for Keegan.
If she had jumped into the water to save him, why did she not let Keegan know and seek credit?
Therefore, the second possibility was that someone else saved Keegan, and Jaylene took advantage of the situation.
However, Stella could not figure out how Jaylene conveniently knew where to find Keegan.
She then thought about Keegan’s previous questions to Jaylene, ‘Did Keegan suspect that Marshall told Jaylene where he was?’ 2 Stella furrowed her brows and remained silent for a long time.
Just as she was lost in thought, she felt an itch on her neck.
She looked down and saw Keegan clumsily fastening a necklace for her.
She was taken aback, “What are you doing?”
Keegan whispered, “It’s my New Year’s gift to you.”
It took him some time to finally put it on for her. Then, he looked at Stella with his dazzling eyes and said in her ear,” The one I bought looks better.”
Stella was puzzled. It did not click until she pulled down the mirror and saw the necklace on her neck.
The necklace looked very similar to the one Marshall had given her before, but the craftsmanship on this one was more exquisite.
Then, Stella suddenly understood the omitted part of Keegan’s sentence: “The one I bought looks better than the one he gave you.”
Stella reached out to touch the necklace on her neck. After a while, she said, “I still think the hair clip you gave Jaylene looks better. I spent a long time choosing it.”
Keegan was speechless.
Stella squinted and looked at him from head to toe, “How dare you steal my things and give them to another woman? Do you think our relationship is too stable and want to spice things up?”
