Chapter 9

Stella’s eyebrows twitched violently. ‘If it wasn’t because I had a favor to ask, I would’ve kicked thismotherfucker out of the car! He would’ve been fine if he didn’t have a mouth. I’ll just pretend he’s a dogbarking!’ Stella told herself. Stella ignored the sharp-tongued being beside her. After typing out thepotpourri recipe, she sent it to Aldor. “You can go to this shop called Scents on Cornelia Avenue. Theyhave a wide range of potpourri ingredients, so they’ll get the job done in one go.” “Alright. Thank you,madam.” Since Keegan did not get a response from Stella, he felt a little bored and stoppedtalking. About 20 minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant. Just as Stella was going to get out of thecar, Keegan abruptly tugged on her wrist. She quickly pulled her wrist back out of reflex. “Don’tmove!” Keegan’s grip was firm, so Stella could not retract her arm at all. When she was about toquestion him, she felt something cold on her ring finger. There was a diamond ring on her finger. Stellafroze momentarily. ‘It’s the wedding ring from when we got married. I left it behind when I moved out ofRoyalpark Villa. This is the first time Keegan’s putting on a wedding ring for me. On the day we gotmarried, Bella appeared. Keegan left before the ceremony was even finished, so I had to put on thering myself,’ she thought. “I’m just worried that mom will ask questions. Don’t overthink it.” Keeganreleased his grip on her hand. Hearing his haughty voice, Stella snapped out of her thoughts. Shepursed her lips and retracted her arm. Then, she responded indifferently, “You worry too much, Mr.Kane. I know where I stand.” After she finished her sentence, she opened the door and got out of thecar. Keegan frowned and followed her out with a dark expression. Keegan had a sister—Aurora Kane—who graduated from college this year. She went on a graduation trip with her friends two months agoand just returned yesterday. Since she was the youngest child in the Kane family, and her father diedsoon after her birth, the elders in the family spoiled her. She grew into a person with a bossypersonality. When Stella first married into the family, she genuinely wanted to get along well with hersister-in-law. She catered to all of Aurora’s interests in hopes of improving their relationship. However,Aurora did not buy it. Her attitude toward Stella when they were with elders differed from when theywere alone. Over the years, their relationship did not get better but even stiffer. Since Keegan lovednovelbin

Aurora, Stella was destined to be the one aggrieved. ‘Now that I think about it, Keegan and I probablywouldn’t last even if there wasn’t Bella Young. From our family background to our moral compasses,we have nothing in common,’ thought Stella. The waiter quickly led them to their pre-booked privateroom. When they pushed the door open and entered, they saw Aurora talking to Dahlia. The motherand daughter looked quite alike, except Dahlia had the appeal of a mature woman and an air ofelegance. Meanwhile, Aurora looked much tender. When Aurora saw Stella, her expressionimmediately changed. However, she instantly put on a sweet smile when she was faced with Keegan.She said to him coyly, “Keegan! I’m about to starve to death, but mom insisted that we wait for you.What took you so long?” Keegan glanced at her. “Wipe the oil stain on your mouth. That’ll make yourwords sound more convincing.” Aurora was speechless. “You’re so annoying! I thought of youthroughout my trip and even brought you a souvenir!” The brother and sister argued for a bit beforeDahlia finally stopped them, “Alright, stop arguing. Have a seat.” Then, she glanced at Stella, “Stella,tell the waiter at the door to serve the dishes.” The truth was that the waiter could actually hear them.However, Dahlia wanted Stella to do it simply because she was used to ordering her around. Backwhen they all stayed at Keegan’s grandparents’ residence, Stella would sit at the far end of the table.This was because it was easier for her to get up and retrieve things for others. Stella had gotten usedto it. Just as she was about to go outside, Keegan tugged on her wrist. However, he did not look at her.He turned to Aurora, “You go, Aurora. And, tell the waiter to bring a bottle of red wine.” Auroraimmediately made a long face and looked incredibly reluctant. “Wasn’t Stella about to go?” Keeganresponded indifferently, “She doesn’t know the wine mom likes.” However, Stella did not go along withhim. She struggled out of his grip, “I know. Trockenbeerenauslese, right?” Dahlia nodded. Stella turnedaround and walked out. She did not need to turn around to see how unhappy he looked. After Stellafinished speaking to the waiter and was about to enter the room, she heard Aurora’s voice comingthrough the door. “Don’t underestimate this wife of yours, Keegan. Not only does she know what momlikes, but she also knows what grandma likes very well. She’s doing whatever she can to get into thehigh society. I really don’t know what grandma was thinking when she agreed to let you marry her.

She’s miles behind Bella Young.” Stella’s hand paused from pushing the door open. Then, she heardKeegan say, “Whoever I marry is the same.”
