With a tense expression, Stella hesitated for a while before she said, “Fine.”
Then, she clutched her chest and thought to herself, ‘Damn it. I need to stop being so soft!’ However, when she saw Keegan’s sparkling puppy eyes, she suddenly felt as though Keegan was more spineless than her.
Keegan said in a low voice, “I’ll give Aldor a call, then.”
Stella cleared her throat and said, “I’ll call Trevor.”
Then, she walked to the side and dialed Trevor’s number.
“Trevor, are you busy right now?”
Trevor replied in a gentle tone, “Not at all. I’m just having drinks with my friends.
What’s up?”
He seemed to have stepped out of the private room, as the noise on the other end of the phone instantly went away.
“It’s nothing.” Stella then cautiously asked, “Trevor, are our family’s residency registration documents with you?”
Trevor did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Why do you ask?”
“Do you remember when Keegan transferred a property under my name back then? I want to get the paperwork done, ” Stella lied.
She had no other option because Trevor would be the first to hide the documents if she wanted to use them to get the marriage certificate.
After all, to them, Keegan was still someone who had lost his memories and had yet to prove himself.
Trevor remained silent for a moment before he said, “Dad hides everything. He was worried that you would be tricked by Keegan into getting a marriage certificate with him. So, he kept it away right after you officially changed your name.”
Stella was taken aback.
Wenham, who had always been careless, showed an unprecedented level of diligence this time.
“Did he really say that? Am I that foolish to him?” Stella complained under her breath.
Trevor slowly replied, “Well, I think dad made a pretty smart move.”
Stella did not say anything in response.
