Chapter 1183
Vermont did not quite believe Stella’s denial of knowing Spencer. He could tell that something was offjudging by her reaction. It seemed like there was more to them than just classmates.
He was about to say something when Stella interrupted him, “Let’s go grab some food, Felicity.”
“Okay. Sure,” Felicity replied.
Once the two women left the table, Vermont leaned into Keegan’s ear and whispered, “There’ssomething fishy going on with your partner. She’s the type who can’t take her eyes off a handsome guy,but she barely looks at Spencer. She would even avert her gaze everytime their eyes met. Since whenshe has ever been shy around guys?”
Vermont’s words caused Keegan to suspect that something was going on. He had also noticed Stella’sunusual behavior, but he still chose to defend her for now. “Is she acting shy? I hadn’t noticed. It seemsto me that she doesn’t find him attractive.”
Vermont did not say a word. ‘I didn’t know Keegan could be so protective over Stella,’ he thought. ‘Still,I think there’s more to the story than what she is letting on.’
At the food section of the wedding, Stella grabbed an egg tart for Felicity with a pair of tongs.
Felicity picked up the pastry and ate it as she asked, “Stella, isn’t Spencer your ex-boyfriend whom youdated for two weeks before you guys broke up?”
Stella did not answer. Felicity confirmed her suspicions after seeing her reaction. “Ah hah! I knew it!There’s no way you would forget him since we’ve only graduated not too long ago, especially sincehe’s so good- looking.”
Stella sighed. “Please don’t say anything about this in front of Keegan, or he’ll get upset.”
“He might’ve been fine with it if you had just admitted it earlier. Why did you even pretend like you didn’tknow Spencer? I’d be upset too if I were Keegan.” Felicity paused a while before saying, “Wait aminute. They look so similar; you clearly have a type. You’re not using Keegan as Spencer’s substitute,are you?*
Stella’s eyelids twitched when she heard that. “What are you talking about? They’re nothing alike.You’ve been watching too many dramas.’
Felicity did not care much about the resemblance between the two men. Instead, she was more curiousabout how Stella managed to date the campus heartthrob. “Come on, tell me. How did you win himover?”
“Why can’t it be the other way around? Maybe he was the one who hit on me first,” said Stella.
Felicity scoffed and said, “I would believe you if you looked the way you do now back in high school.I’ve seen the pictures, you know? You literally weighed at least 130 pounds back then. I don’t think anattractive teenage boy would’ve wanted to hit on you.”novelbin
Stella’s face darkened upon hearing that. “Excuse you? I didn’t weigh 130 pounds. I was 120 pounds atmost. Plus, I’m tall. It’s normal for me to weigh a little more than the other girls in school.’
“Okay, fine. So who was the initiator of the relationship?”
Stella hesitated for a moment and finally said, “I randomly confessed to him one day, and he acceptedit.”
‘It was surprisingly easy to win him over,’ she thought.
“I don’t think that confession was random.” A cold voice suddenly came from behind her.
Stella’s hands trembled, and she almost dropped her plate. Thankfully, Spencer was there to catch it.“Why did you pretend not to know me earlier? ” he asked.
Felicity’s mouth dropped open wide. ‘Oh, shit. She’s been caught red- handed!’ She continued to eather egg tart, pretending nothing had happened while eavesdropping on their conversation.
Stella fidgeted around and thought, ‘Everything’s going to be fine as long as I remain calm.’
“Well, you have a different status now, and we’re no longer in the same circle. I just don’t want peopleto get the wrong idea,” she said.
Spencer pondered upon her answer and asked, “Who would get the wrong idea, exactly? Keegan? Ithought you guys were divorced.”
