He halted the conversation right then, turned around, and headed into The Deli. Bella’s expressionturned gloomy. ‘Having been used to the core, I’ve already lost all usefulness to Keegan, yet he had notshown a single interest in our relationship for the past few years. I’ve worked so hard to climb to thisposition. And, what is it about
Stella? What am I lacking, and what does she have that made her so quickly to be able to find such agood man like Trevor the instant she was divorced?’ Still sulking, she took out her phone and dialed anumber. When the call was connected, she said in a low voice, “It’s me, Bella.”
Before the person on the other end could respond, Bella continued, “I’ve done it as you said, yetKeegan did not respond. You have to help me.”
Once they were in the elevator, Stella said, “Mr. Saun, thank you for helping me out.” Trevor smiled andsaid, “I didn’t really do it just to help you. He blocked my way, so I had to get him back.”
“Huh?”
“He thought there was something going on between the two of us, but my father had a lot of profiles ofsocialites and is already preparing matchmaking sessions for me.”
Stella was dumbfounded.
“Since he’s not budging, then don’t mind me for being ruthless,” Trevor said with his upturned lips. “Didyou see his face just now? I was afraid that he might break down from all the rage.”
Stella was speechless. Then, she said, “You’re overthinking this.”
‘Keegan will definitely not have a breakdown. A mutt will break down crying well before he even would!Not to mention an ex-wife that no longer has anything to do with him,’ Stella thought.novelbin
Once they got off the elevator, a waiter guided them over to a private cubicle. When they were arrivingat the cubicle, Stella turned nervous instead. She unconsciously tightened her hands when Trevoropened the door.
“I’ve brought her with me, Father, Darcie.”
He side-stepped after greeting them, revealing Stella whose eyes were downcast as she warmly said,“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Saun.”
Wenham was startled when he saw her, not hiding his face full of astonishment. Her long hair was tiedback in a ponytail. With her minimal makeup and picturesque eyebrows, she could not hide herstunning beauty even with her downcast eyes.
Words could not leave Wenham’s throat as he gawked at her. Darcie said with a smile, “Trevor, is thisMs. Jewell that you have mentioned before? You look familiar. Come have a seat.”
Wenham only recovered from his daze after Darcie spoke, and he immediately added,
“Right, please let Ms. Jewell in.”
He then continued, “Trevor, help Ms. Jewell order a few more dishes she likes.”
“There’s no need for that,” said Stella in a low tone. “The dishes that were ordered are more thanenough, and I’m not really hungry.”
Trevor replied, “I’ve already asked Ms. Jewell beforehand, and the ones you guys ordered are all herfavorite.”
Wenham arched his brows and said, “That’s good then.”
He continued by introducing his family to Stella. “This is my wife, Darcie.
And, this is my daughter, Jaylene, who is almost the same age as you, and there’s
Trevor, who needs no introductions since you’re familiar with him by now.”
Stella nodded her head at them when Wenham introduced his family individually. She had a littleimpression of Jaylene as she has seen her before. But, this was the first time she met Wenham andDarcie.
‘Trevor called his mother “Darcie” instead of “mother” just when we entered the cubicle. Is she not Mr.Saun’s first wife?’
She was still deep in her own thoughts when there was a knock on the door from behind her, and thedoor opened. She assumed that it was the waiter. However, right at the next moment, Keegan’s voicecould be heard.’ Hi, Uncle Wenham.”
