"That's between me and Joshua, and it has nothing to do with you," Stella said coolly. She didn't want to discuss Joshua with Leonard. "Give me your bank account number. Since you paid by mistake, I'll transfer the money back to you."
Although she could have transferred the money using her phone, Stella didn't want Leonard to see any of her personal information.
Leonard glanced at her and readily gave her his account number. Stella entered it and transferred the exact cost of the meal, not a cent more or less.
Just then, Keen, who had been wondering where she'd gone, came to find her. "Mom, what's taking you so long?"
"I'll be right back, sweetie," Stella said.
Keen turned his head and saw Leonard sitting nearby. He paused. "That man looks familiar…"
Keen was still little, but his memory was freakishly good. It didn't take him long to remember.
"Oh, aren't you the man from the hospital who told Mom to just drink more water…"
Leonard's brow twitched, and he cut Keen off with a harsh tone. "You don't look like your mother. You're ugly."
Keen was stunned. He had been praised for being cute and handsome his whole life; no one had ever called him ugly. Perhaps because he'd met Leonard before, Keen wasn't afraid of him. He just looked at Leonard, confused. "What's wrong, mister? Why are you suddenly so mean?"
Stella looked at her son. "Keen, you know him?"
Keen nodded. "He's the man from the hospital…"
But before he could finish, Leonard shot to his feet. Startled, Stella thought he was about to do something to Keen and instinctively pulled her son behind her.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
