Chapter 1953
[Stella, how could you say that? I would never tell lies, even if Felicity isn't here. Where's the trust?]
asked Vermont.
[Sorry, but being pregnant is making me a bit sensitive since the child is pushing against my heart. My
mind plays tricks on me, and I tend to overthink things. Please bear with me.] Stella replied.
Vermont was at a loss for words upon seeing her response.1 Is she carrying the child in her heart
instead of her belly?' he thought.
[What do you want to know, Stella?]
[Tell me everything you know about Marshall. And I mean everything, including his childhood.]
Confused, Vermont said, [???]
Felicity also replied in the group chat, [!!!]
[Stella, why do you want to know this?] Vermont questioned.
[Some things are better left unasked.]
Stella's reply rendered Vermont speechless.
[If you want to know about Marshall, why not ask Keegan? They grew up together and spent more timenovelbin
together than I did with him. Keegan knows everything about Marshall. Why not just ask him?] he
replied.
[Then he'd know that I'm inquiring about Marshall!] said
Stella.
Stella knew she couldn't approach Keegan about Marshall since he was still faking his memory loss.
Even if she were to ask, he might not disclose anything; she had attempted it before, after all."
Vermont asked [??? So you're doing this behind his back?]
[Will you tell me or not?] Stella replied.
Felicity then reminded him that she would move out tonight if he didn't tell Stella what she wanted to
know.
[Fine, I'll tell you. But I don't know much, to be honest.] texted Vermont.
According to him, Marshall had the same life as them up till they were in high school. He studied and
took tests like the others. The main distinction was that Marshall had stricter parental oversight.
No matter where he went, he had to report to his family. If he didn't call within the stipulated time, his
family would frantically contact everyone around him until they reached him.
Later, he and Keegan both got into the same university. On the other hand, Vermont went to another
university due to his lower grades, which reduced his chances to spend time with the two.
Back then, Keegan and Marshall were inseparable. They attended the same college and even lived in
the same dorm.
When Keegan joined the youth committee, Marshall went to the Student Union. When Keegan
participated in Science and Innovation competitions, Marshall took part in major intercollegiate debate
competitions.
To outsiders, it appeared as though they were in an ongoing rivalry, each unwilling to concede to the
other.
But Vermont knew that they had a very close relationship in private.
One time, Marshall developed a high fever before the final debate competition. Despite feeling weak all
over, he insisted on participating.
So, Keegan rushed to their dorm and carried him to the competition venue.
He sat by Marshall's side while he battled against his opponents.
After the competition, Keegan carried Marshall to the hospital without waiting for the results, foregoing
the award ceremony for the science and technology competition that took place that day.
When the laboratory where Keegan often conducted experiments caught fire, everyone ran out, but
Marshall rushed inside, thinking Keegan was still in there.
However, it turned out that Keegan had gone to the office to submit some documents.
Apparently, the fire was so intense that someone had to pull Marshall out. Assuming that Keegan was
not saved, he cried at the doorway despite claiming he didn't. 1
Vermont witnessed how close the two were and was even a bit jealous of their friendship.
The turning point came when Marshall got a girlfriend.
Upon knowing that, Felicity sent a message to the group. [ He has an ex-girlfriend? Stella, maybe you
should stick with Keegan. You're his first love. It's so much better to be someone's first. What if
Marshall still has feelings for his ex? What will you do if his ex comes back?]
Stella did not know what to say.
