Chapter 706
Just as the cashier took the card, a message popped up on the computer screen.
The cashier smiled and said, "The bill for table 12 has already been paid for."
The two were stunned and looked at Stella.
Meanwhile, Stella had a dumbfounded look.
"Let's go," Felicity hollered.
She continued, "The bill has already been paid."
Then, she returned Vermont's wallet back to him.
She patted him on the chest and said, "Vermont is generous."
Vermont twitched his eyes.
However, he felt much better after hearing Felicity call him "Vermont".
After they left the restaurant, Stella apologized to Marshall in a low voice.
"Mr.Moore, I'm so sorry about just now."
Marshall smiled and said, "You weren't the one who shoved me, so you shouldn't be the one apologizing.Stella, you're just you now.You're not someone's appendage."
Stella was momentarily startled.
The word "appendage" made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
‘An appendage...I've always been an appendage of Keegan in other people's eyes.Now that I've lost my status and the identity of my biological father is unknown, I'll appear even more like Keegan's appendage if I stand next to him," she thought.
She lowered her gaze and grunted in agreement.
Then, she did not speak.
At that moment, Marshall's phone rang.
"I'm going to take a call," he said.
Then, he walked aside with his phone.
Keegan went up to her and grabbed her hand.He said, "I'll drive you home."
Stella retracted her hand.
"I can take Mr.Snyder's car.My house is on the way."
"He's not going home," Keegan said.
He then asked Vermont, "Right?"
Vermont played along and answered, "I need to go to the office.Stella, why don't you let Keegan drive you home?"
"Then, I'll take a cab."
