Chapter 569

"Those houses are yours.The Housing Authority office close at five -thirty, so we should be able tomake it.Hurry up and come over," said Stella.

Keegan felt that Stella did not want to dwell on when he transferred the properties to her name; shewas more concerned with cutting ties with him.He clenched his fists and said coldly, "I'm busy."

Stella furrowed her brows and asked, "Then when are you free? I'm in a hurry to buy a house."

"If you hurry, go— Mhm..."

Before Keegan could finish speaking, Vermont, who had just run over, covered his mouth and said,"Hey Stella, it's Vermont.Keegan and I are outside.We're about to kick off a new project, and Keegan'sbeen joining me for on-site surveys lately.Unfortunately, I don't think he'd have much free time."

Keegan glared at Vermont, wanting to pry his hand off.

Pressing the phone tight, Vermont whispered to Keegan, "If you still want Stella as your wife, you betterwatch what comes out of your mouth."

Keegan's hand stopped, and he stared at Vermont with icy eyes but did not attempt to resist.

On the other end, Stella furrowed her brows and said, "It'll only take one or two hours.He can surelyspare that time, right?"

"If he can't make it, why don't you forget about buying a house? Just pick one of the properties underyour name to live in.After all, they're all yours.Why return them to him? Isn't your youth worth more thanthose houses?"

Vermont's reasoning made sense.

If Felicity had said those words to Stella, she would have listened.

After all, Felicity was her best friend.

'But Vermont is Keegan's buddy.Would he really speak for me?’ With that in mind, Stella pursed her lipsand said, "I don't want to owe Keegan anything.Could you ask him when he's available?"

"Uh, I can't say for sure," Vermont replied.

"But if you need a place to stay, I have a house in Clouditude International.It's fully furnished and readyfor you to move in.I won't charge you rent.Then, once things settle down with Keegan, you two can..."

Vermont then repeatedly rubbed the phone with a tissue, and his voice started to break up.

"...discuss...Stella...signal...poor...gotta hang up..."

With that, Vermont ended the call, leaving Keegan confused.

"Let her keep the houses," Vermont advised.novelbin

"She'll come to you on her own now.Then you won't have to worry about her blocking you, right?"

Keegan was at a loss for words, but he could not help but think that Vermont's advice made sense,even if it was a little devious.

As Vermont settled back onto the bed, he continued, "When pursuing a girl, don't lay all your cards onthe table at once.Men and women, they're all the same.People don't cherish things that come tooeasily.And hey, you said Stella's a fickle, right?"
