Chapter 984
Stella was amused and decided to play along.
"What did he do to deserve this reaction from you?"
After a long time, Keegan pursed his lips and told the story in bits and parts.
From his incoherent speech, Stella found out that Keegan disliked Howard because of her.She never thought that she would be the reason.
The details were both funny and heartbreaking.
Stella did not know Keegan very well when they first got married.
So, she decided to talk to his friends to find out what he liked.
Since they did not really know her and may not want to engage with her, Stella often made desserts to bribe them into letting her learn more about Keegan.
Keegan's friends were good people.
After receiving her gifts, they would tell Stella about his likes and dislikes.
Keegan did not know about this at first, but when he found out, he had a fight with her.
Stella always thought it was because he was ashamed of her trying to flatter his friends with desserts.
But now, she realized it was because Keegan overheard Howard saying mean things about her.
He would tell people that she was "all beauty, no brains" or that she was using her looks to get favors from men and climb to the top.
Keegan chose to use nicer words in his explanation because the ones Howard had used were way worse.
Howard's comments affected other people's perceptions of Stella at the beginning of her union with Keegan for a long time.
Keegan was understandably upset when he heard that.
He had let Howard into his home and treated him well, yet Howard went behind his back and badmouthed his wife.
So, Keegan went off on him right there and then.
