Chapter 982
Each of the guests left after that.
When Stella passed by Keegan, she whispered, "I need to go to the bathroom.Wait for me."
Keegan touched the back of her hand with his to show that he understood.He did not have much to drink today; the alcohol content of the drinks was relatively low.He was not fully drunk but did not feel very well either.However, he remembered what Stella told him and obediently waited for her in the corridor.
When Howard came out of the guest room, he saw Keegan standing at the end of the corridor, getting some air.He then decided to walk over and said, "Keegan, long time no see."
Keegan froze and did not answer him.
Howard did not find it awkward.
Instead, he continued, 'I was busy a while ago and couldn't attend Mrs.Kane Sr"s birthday party.How is she?"
Stella just came out of the restroom when she heard Howard's voice.
'Sounds like they're exchanging pleasantries.The birthday party was over months ago"
Stella did not want to interrupt the two men, so she stood out of their sight and listened quietly.
"She's fine," Keegan answered concisely.
Howard continued, "Your mom invited my mom for tea a few days ago.I heard she went to the hospital two days ago.The doctors said she had a cyst.I noticed she had lost a lot of weight.She kept talking about you, though.Talking about how she worries if you're being taken care of."
Stella's expression was hard to read at the mention of Dahlia.She had been so busy with work that she had not heard from her for a long time.She knew about Dahlia leaving the Kane residence but never asked Keegan about it.
A while ago, Stella had heard from Olivia that Dahlia was renting a house in their neighborhood.She seemed to have been kicked out of the Crosby residence as well.
However, Stella was busy then, so she did not ask for more details.
‘It seems like Dahlia is at the end of her rope.She's probably planning to trick Keegan into taking her back again, and Howard is obviously here to speak for her"
The corners of Keegan's mouth twitched when he heard about his mother.He looked at Howard and said, "Shouldn't she be telling me—her son—that she misses me and not you, an outsider?"
