Keegan shook his head. “You always carry yourself in a sophisticated manner, and wearing a cheap watch might draw attention. Aldor said this piece suits you perfectly.
Even if it’s stolen, it won’t be easy to sell because of its high value. I can definitely track it before the thief finds a buyer, but I hope that day never comes.”
Stella felt offended by the phrase “suits you perfectly.” Then, she said through clenched teeth, “What do you mean by ‘suits me perfectly’? You think I have a flashy attitude?”
Keegan paused, hugged her with a smile, and kissed her hair. “Actually, I’m really attracted to your practical approach to money.”
Stella glanced at him. “Well, your tastes are certainly unique.”
“That’s because I have a lot of money,” he whispered.
Stella was left speechless, realizing that Keegan had only said that to show off his wealth.
Early the next day, Xavier arrived to pick up Stella. Before heading to Caline, they first dropped off Wenham and Darcie at the airport.
Xavier observed as Stella said goodbye to Wenham and Darcie with teary eyes, urging them to stay safe. She even mentioned that she already missed them before they left and asked them to call her every day.
However, once they passed through the boarding gate, Stella’s tears vanished instantly. She then lowered the sunshade and began to tidy up her appearance in the mirror.
Xavier stole a glance at Stella, and Stella said flatly without looking at him,”
What’s wrong?”
Xavier looked away and shook his head. “Nothing.”
