“I want to inquire about the best day for Xenia to get the C- section according to God’s plan,” saidAlbert.
Stella was at a loss for words. ‘When did Albert become so godly? Where was this behavior when hedecided to hurt her wife of twenty years?’ she thought as her face tightened with displeasure.
Keegan grabbed her hand and gently rubbed his thumb over it, trying to soothe her. “I’m not sure. I’llhave to ask,” he answered Albert indifferently.
He paused briefly before adding, “Mr. Jewell, while I may not be a spiritual person, I find tampering withdestiny and manipulating life events through artificial means to be violating divine favor. Instead ofseeking spiritual guidance, perhaps doing good deeds to create more blessings for the child might bemore beneficial.”
Albert’s expression momentarily stiffened upon hearing that. He contemplated about it and said, “Thatmakes sense.” He then reminded Keegan to get the venerable’s number and hung up.
After the call ended, Stella could not help but mutter, “That man has gone mad!”
Keegan, on the other hand, said, “It’s not entirely a surprise. The more bad deeds someone does, themore they fear that their wrongdoings will affect their child. He encountered numerous difficulties afterour divorce. It’s typical of him to want to turn to religion at this stage of life.”
Before Stella could respond, her phone rang. Keegan glanced at the screen and saw that it wasMarshall. Stella froze and asked if she should answer, to which Keegan responded, “Sure. Hold ontothis cross while you speak to him since you said he brings negative energy.”
Stella did not say anything. She picked up the call, and Marshall’s voice sounded from the other end ofthe line.” Stella, it’s me.”
“Mr. Moore, how’s your injury?”
Marshall chuckled softly and warmly replied, “It’s nothing too serious, dragging you into that dangeroussituation.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. We’re friends, and friends help each other out,” said Stella.
“Are you home? I’ve arrived at Clouditude International.”
“Y-you’re here?” Stella asked. As soon as she uttered those words, she felt Keegan’s intense gaze onher. ‘What was
with the look? It’s not like I invited him over!’ she thought.novelbin
“Yeah, I brought some gifts. I wanted to check on you and Ms. Thompson. Things might have turnedout differently if it weren’t for you two that day,” Marshall responded.
“That’s very kind of you,” said Stella. “He’s not here just for me, so I can’t say no on Felicity’s behalf.’
“Also, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you concerning Ms. Spade’s car accident,” Marshallcontinued.
Keegan paused when he heard that. Stella raised an eyebrow as she asked in a low voice, “Did youfind something?”
“I’ll talk to you when I come up. I’m waiting for the elevator.”
Stella turned to Keegan, who was shirtless, and said, “Take your time. I need to clean up a bit.”
Marshall chuckled softly and replied, “Sure thing.”
Stella then pulled Keegan up and said, “Come on. Move it. Go to Vermont’s place. You can go to workwhen Marshall comes.
