Chapter 1922
Vermont could not help but spurt the tea in his mouth all over. He coughed for some time as his face turned extremely red. However, he still teased Felicity, "If my name is Doggy, does that make you Bitchy? It doesn't sound too bad. We can call ourselves the Night
Howlers, and our children can be called Cute Puppies. What do you think?"
Felicity's face turned red from anger, "Only your children will be called puppies!"
"Yeah," Vermont smiled. "You'll be the one giving birth to them for me."
Felicity punched him. When the two started fooling around, the atmosphere at the table became much happier. Keegan took advantage of the situation and pulled Stella closer, whispering, "Please don't be mad at me, okay?"
Stella glanced at him, pursed her lips, and sat back down. Then, she "reluctantly" said,
"I'm only staying because I don't want to ruin someone else's wedding."
Keegan lowered his eyes, seeming to chuckle. He continued softly, "Thank you, Coach Hall."
'Coach Hall...'
Stella suddenly remembered a time when Keegan used to call her "Coach Jewell" by her ear, asking for extra class.
She then immediately looked at Keegan, who seemed calm and perfectly normal.
'Scumbag! If you're going to pretend, then do it properly. Stop teasing me like that!' Stella thought to herself.
"Oh, by the way..." Marshall took a sip of the wine and put the glass down. He continued, "Keegan, I bumped into someone familiar when I was at the office just now."
Keegan shifted his gaze to Marshall nonchalantly.
Then, Marshall said, "It was your aunt, Scarlett Ford. She wants to hire a lawyer to handle her divorce. Do you know about that?"Keegan frowned, showing that he was unaware, "Since when?"
"It seems to have been happening before the New Year. I heard from my colleagues that she had inquired about the divorce on the phone before, but she probably had not made up her mind yet at that time. However, she came over today, probably intending to consult with a lawyer."
Marshall paused before continuing, "She claimed that her husband hid his wealth from her and even had a secret lover behind her back. She wants to file a divorce and discuss the division of their property and the custody of their two children. I recommended one of mycolleagues who specializes in divorce cases to her. Your aunt has been married to your uncle for about twenty years now; I don't think he's someone who would do those things. Do you want to tell Ms. Crosby about it so she can talk to them? Although something unpleasant happened between you guys back then, you're still family."
