Stella’s mouth formed a thin line.
‘Cunning face…
‘That description seems to suit you better, Trevor.’
Stella sighed and said, “Trevor, I believe you can find someone better than him, but I won’t like any ofthem.
“I can’t deny that Keegan has his flaws. He could be mean, stubborn, and difficult to deal with, but healso has redeeming qualities. He would try to cheer me up whenever he made me angry. He wouldn’tget mad at me even if I locked him out. He has never gotten physical with me. He doesn’t force me todo anything I don’t want to do, and if there’s something I like, he buys it immediately without looking atthe price. Also, even if I hit him when we argue, he would never raise his hand against me.”
Trevor retorted, “Not hitting you is literally the least he can do. How can that be considered a goodquality?”
“Let me finish.” Stella continued softly, “After divorce, many couples would speak ill of each other in theworst way possible, but Keegan has never said a bad word about me in front of anybody else. Trevor,I’ve always thought you can judge a person’s character by how they act after a breakup. Things gotvery unpleasant when Keegan and I divorced, and he could’ve easily ruined my life if he wanted to. Aperson’s character is what makes the marriage last, right?
I’m very confident in Keegan’s character, and I’m willing to give him another chance.”
Trevor was about to say something, but Stella interrupted him.
“I know you’ve always hated Keegan because he did not give me any of his wealth after the divorce.However, it was my choice to leave him with nothing. I despised him because of somemisunderstandings back then and desperately wanted to break free from that marriage. But in fact, hedid actually give me something.
“He transferred so much money to me that I could live comfortably for the rest of my life withoutworking. But he has never mentioned anything about that to you, right? He has not spoken a wordabout it, although you kept on blaming him. You’ve known him since you were a kid. Don’t you knowthat he’s the kind of person who always does more than he says?
“That’s just how he is. Actually, he’s changed a lot now, and… ” Stella cleared her throat beforecontinuing, “And you only see Keegan’s flaws and not mine. There are very few people who cantolerate my temper.”
Keegan was actually doing men a favor.
Trevor asked, “What flaws do you have? Your only flaw is being blind. Otherwise, you wouldn’t fall forhim.”
His words left Stella utterly speechless.
‘Well, it seems like my brother is the master at talking nonsense with a straight face.’
“Trevor, I’m only telling you all this because I want you and our family to know that I really like him forwho he is. I hope you all can like him, or at least not reject him, okay?”
Stella had never asked Trevor for anything from the moment she acknowledged he was her brother.That was her first time doing it, and it was for Keegan’s sake.
Trevor did not feel very comfortable about it. He thought Keegan did not deserve any of that. But onsecond thought, he felt he should give his little sister freedom.
He slowly began to understand what Stella was trying to do. She wanted to use him as the middleperson to convey her message to the family.novelbin
Trevor glanced at Keegan.
Keegan had just done paying his respects and was fixing the flowers in front of Rainee’s grave.
Having grown up together, he knew very well what kind of person Keegan was. However, he wasworried that Keegan would only bring trouble to Stella if he failed to recover the company from othershareholders.
The internal conflicts within the Kane family were very complicated.
However, there was nothing more he could say after everything that Stella had said.
Trevor pursed his lips. “We’ll see what happens.”
Stella’s expression relaxed as she gently hugged Trevor and softly said, “Thank you, my brother.”
Trevor patted her shoulder.
“Everything with the Jewell family has been settled. Is it time to start planning the banquet?”
Stella nodded, “Sure. Just make sure that no reporters will be there. I want to keep a low profile, justlike Leighton.”
Trevor chuckled, “Got it.”
Stella and Trevor chatted for some time. When they returned to Rainee’s grave, Keegan handed aflower to Trevor. “Here you go, my brother.”
Trevor gazed at him and accepted the flower. Then, he walked up to the grave and took a bow in frontof it.
Keegan was a little surprised that Trevor did not just ignore him.
