Chapter 1011
Stella looked at Keegan as if her eyes were asking, ‘What nonsense did you tell Uncle Wenham when | was in the kitchen?When did | ever stand on that for half an hour?’novelbin
Keegan answered Wenham's question with a straight face. "Stella learned how to dance, so her muscles are more flexible. Shecan even stand on there for several hours.’
Stella was speechless.
Wenham had completely forgotten the pain in his calves as soon as he heard what Keegan said, and he hurriedly asked, "Youlearned how to dance before?"
So, Stella said, "Just for a few years when | was a kid. However, | don't really remember what | learned during the classes. I'mnot good at it."
Wenham noted that down inwardly and continued asking, "A friend of mine told me that he watched you play the piano onacruise party previously, and you were good.’
Stella replied humbly, novelxo "I'm not really good at it, and | can only play one or two pieces well. I'm nothing compared to yourdaughter.”
Normally, a parent would modestly accept the compliment when somebody else praised his or her child, but Wenham's reactionwas different. "It's very impressive that you could play two pieces well. Nobody is good at everything, isn't it?"
‘Hm... that makes sense too.1’Stella, do you have any favorite food?" Wenham asked.
Stella paused for a moment. Wenham immediately realized that his question seemed a little abrupt, so he quickly explained,"You know that Trevor's grandparents are big fans of yours, right? They're coming over soon and they want to see you. | thoughtthat it would be nice for us to have a meal together. However, | don't know what you like to eat and what ingredients to prepare."
Keegan was confused. ‘Trevor's grandparents have been living in Salcator for so long, and they're coming all the way to Riverajust to see Stella?"
Keegan thought that Wenham's reason was a little far-fetched. It would be more convincing if Wenham said that they werecoming to see Trevor's girlfriend instead.
‘Is their whole family going to work together to steal Stella away from me?’ Keegan became more alert as he thought about that.
Keegan interrupted before Stella could say anything, "Uncle Wenham, when will they be here? It's been so many years since |met them. | would also like to see them and extend my hospitality if it's possible."
Wenham frowned and he was very annoyed by Keegan interfering in his conversation with Stella. "It's a family gathering. I'mafraid that won't be possible."
’Family gathering?’ Keegan repeated the two words and asked directly," Isn't it a fan meeting?"Wenham kept quiet for a moment before he responded, "Is it wrong to bring Stella to my family gathering?"Stella already did not feel like going and she immediately said after hearing Wenham's words, "Uncle Wenhan,, it's not
appropriate for me to attend your family gathering. I'll pay them a visit personally to take a photo with Trevor's grandparentssome other day. In that way, they won't have to travel all the way here at their age. | don't feel so good about it anyway."
Wenham started to panic a little after hearing that Stella would not be going.
He made a promise to Trevor's grandparents that he would take Stella there, and their trip here would be in vain if Stella couldnot be there. They had a very clear purpose-to bring Stella back into their family.
Wenham quickly said, "What's so inappropriate about that? Don't put so much pressure on yourself. They had planned onstaying in Rivera for a short while anyway. After all, they have been aboard all these years, and they miss Trevor very much too.Since you're also in Rivera now, why don't you spend some time with them on behalf of Trevor? Aren't you two very close?”
Keegan was confused again. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Uncle Wenham, Trevor is merely Stella's boss, and they share aprofessional relationship with each other. It's not right for you to guilt-trip Stella just because the company pays her. It's herchoice whether to go or not."
The edge of Wenham's mouth twitched. "I'm talking to Stella. Won't you just keep quiet?" He cursed inwardly, ‘Bla-bla-bla. Thisbrat just wouldn't shut his mouth! It's weird that | never realized how annoying he is."
Keegan's expression remained calm, and he said in a flat tone, "Stella is an artist under Elegant Media. If you really were to tellher that you would cancel all her jobs assuming that she won't go, do you think that she'll be able to turn you down?”
