Female Novel
Chapter 1710
But Keegan did not seem to have any strange reaction at all. ‘I should’ve switched to video call justnow. It’s hard to tell anything from just hearing his voice,’ Stella thought to herself.
“Come and get them yourself,” Stella said calmly. “I’m an actress, after all.
What’s going to happen to my career if others find out that I’m living with a man?”
Keegan retorted, “You’ve made numerous headlines with Marshall. Why do you care about this?”
“That’s all made up by the media. I can clear things up any time I want. But, if my place is discovered tohave a man’s clothes and family planning supplies, my pure and innocent image would be shattered.Do you know how much loss I’d suffer? I’m not trying to risk my career here.”
Keegan’s eyelid twitched, and he could not help but say, ’ You were married previously, and you stillexpect others to see you as pure and innocent? Aren’t you just deceiving your fans and audience?”
“So what?” Stella leaned lazily on the couch. “Isn’t that what all the celebrities do nowadays? The fansand audience love it. It’s called a white lie.” Of course, she simply said that to fool Keegan. She wouldrarely post anything on her Facebook page, apart from sharing some promotional posts from time totime.
After The Palace became famous, all the actors were actively taking on new roles and participating invariety shows. Stella, however, had only attended a promotional event once and that was all.
When she filmed with Leighton, the fans shipped them so much that even her manager could not resistleveraging her popularity. However, both Stella and Trevor rejected the idea simultaneously.
Stella wanted to be successful through her own capabilities. She did not want to end up like Bella, whopleased her fans to maintain popularity and ultimately being devoured by her own made-up persona.
However, to fool Keegan, she came up with a lie without any hesitation.
Keegan remained silent for a long time with a tense face. After some time, he asked, “What’s youraddress?”
Stella smiled. “Clouditude Valley, Block 7, Unit 901.”
Keegan then said, “I’ll find some time to pick them up.”
“Sure.”
Keegan was about to hang up after Stella said that. But he heard her asking, “When are you going tothe hospital for a follow-up?”
“The day after tomorrow. Jaylene will go with me.”
Stella’s smile instantly disappeared, and she immediately hung up the phone.
That caught Keegan by surprise.
Stella stared at her own reflection on the screen, and she suddenly realized how ugly a person couldlook when they felt jealous.
It was not until Felicity called out to her to come eat that she rubbed her face and turned around.
‘There’s still a long way to go. A long way to go…
‘Anything can happen as long as he’s back.’ Vermont was very attentive, as he took the initiative toserve soup to the two ladies. “Stella, you need to eat more now that Keegan is back. Even though hismind is still not straight right now, it’s not something to be worried about. You should relax. This issomething you should learn from my darling.
“We fought, and she was still angry with me. Yet, she still made so much delicious food for me. It’simportant to-“
“Who said I made this for you?” Felicity glared at him. “I made everything for Stella!”
Then, she moved his bowl away. “If we finish eating and there’s some leftovers, you can have them.”
Vermont was speechless.
“Hey,” Stella said softly, as she patted Felicity. “Didn’t you buy so many ingredients because you wereplanning to cook for three?”
Felicity scoffed. “I miscalculated because I haven’t cooked in a long time.” She then glared at Vermont.
“You got lucky!”
Suddenly, Vermont thought that Stella was not only cute and beautiful, but she was also generous.However, his girlfriend was still a little better than her.novelbin
“Stella, have some of this chicken soup. It’s really good for your health.”
Stella thanked Felicity and stirred the soup. As soon as she had a spoonful of it, her stomach churned.
She frowned. Then, she immediately jumped out of her seat and rushed to the washroom.
