Chapter 1903
"She's sleeping at home. Keegan went to visit the relatives this morning. She complained that the gifts he bought were too expensive and got into a fight with him. So, Keegan left her at home. She's probably still crying in her room.
Aldor was puzzled.
"Who does she think she is? Does she think everything has to go her way?"
Dahlia clenched her fists as her expression turned extremely ugly, "Really? Have they been fighting frequently these days?"
"Yeah, Stella still thinks that Keegan is the same as before. She still believes that he would always put her first. He doesn't even remember her now. I bet even her presence annoys him."
Dahlia closed her eyes, "Where are you now?"
"Me?" Aurora paused. "I'm at home too, pouring some oil on the floor. She's going to slip and fall when she comes downstairs later. Let's see if the baby in her would survive this."
Aldor got even more confused.
Dahlia's grip tightened, "Good, good job."
Her tone sounded somewhat strange, and Aurora felt uneasy. She asked, "Mom, is everything okay?"
Dahlia watched Stella get into the car and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing. Don't let anyone find out what you're doing. Mrs. Chapman's daughter’s wedding is coming up. Tell Stella to come along."
Aurora paused, "Mom, Stella and Mrs. Chapman don't get along. She probably won't go, right?"
"Find a way to make her go then," Dahlia said nonchalantly." You're a smart girl. This should be easy for you."
Aurora frowned. After a long pause, she said, "Okay then."
After hanging up, Dahlia violently threw her phone aside as her expression contorted frighteningly.
Aurora put her phone down, turned around, and saw Aldor looking at her strangely.
She looked at the time and said, "How about we all go home and mind our own business?"
Aldor pushed the tablet in front of Aurora, "Make some changes here."
"What?" Aurora leaned over to look and almost burst out in anger, "Are you out of your mind? Are you seriously asking me to work now?"
As Aurora was busy modifying the data, Aldor thought about what she had said during the phone call. Then, he pursed his lips and asked, "Why did you lie to Ms. Crosby?"
Aurora replied without even looking at him, "It's none of your damn business."
He kept quiet for a while before suggesting, "Next time you lie, you should give Mrs. Kane a head up first so she can play along. Otherwise, you'll only raise unnecessary suspicion."
Aurora paused before saying, "I’m not helping Stella."
Aldor looked at her. Aurora raised her gaze, "I'm doing it for my brother.
"You'd better not mention anything about this to Stella. I'm not doing it out of guilt."
Aldor kept quiet.
"Did you hear what I said?" Aurora frowned.
He lifted his head, "Do you want to watch a movie?"
"What?"
Aldor continued flatly, "Isn't this a date? Let's watch a movie after we finish our coffee."
