Chapter 107
Keegan got a little annoyed by her attitude, as his voice became unnoticeably deeper. “Don’t your friend have a phone? Was itSo difficult for you to just give me a call?”
“It's not, but | was worried that you might be too busy to pick up. After all...” Stella paused before continuing flatly, “You didn’teven have time to let me know that you were leaving.”
Keegan was speechless.He continued to speak after some time, “Bella got hurt.”
‘He got worried and immediately sent Bella to the hospital because she was hurt. So, he couldn’t find the time to notify hislegitimate wife about it.”
“Oh,” Stella looked down as she said calmly, “Is she dead?”
Keegan could not help but frown after hearing the mean words Stella said.
“Stella Jewell, did you have to be so evil?”
“| was just asking. Why are you so agitated? It’s not like she’d die just because | asked that question anyway.”Stella spoke as she went around Keegan.
Keegan looked at her back for a few seconds before trying to catch up to her.
Stella crossed her legs while sitting on the couch. She was eating an apple and scrolling hernovelbin
iPad at the same time.
Her phone was connected to her tablet, and both of her devices would receive the same messages simultaneously. So, shecould only go through her messages through the iPad now that her phone was broken.
She ignored Keegan despite hearing his footsteps as she went on to check her mailbox.
Keegan stretched his arm out and touched her dress on the sofa and suddenly asked, “Who gave you your clothes?”“The hotel manager.”
Clearly, Keegan did not trust her. “Why would the manager suddenly give you this?”
Stella did not feel like answering his question at all.
Keegan would have known what happened in the washroom last night if he just went to the hotel and check. Stella refused tobelieve that Keegan was worried about her.
However, Keegan had no plans to find out what really happened at all since it was his sister who locked her in there. It wouldonly make sense for him to defend Aurora by acting as if nothing had happened and brushing it off.
“You should be asking the manager that. Perhaps he thought that | looked very beautiful, so he just felt like gifting mesomething.”
Keegan’s eyelid twitched.
Coincidentally, his phone rang. So, he stopped questioning Stella and answered the call.
Stella knew that only Bella would call him at this hour without having to guess at all.
Keegan did not even bother to walk away while talking to that person on the phone. His attitude and tone took a big turn, and hesounded very gentle.
Stella got mad. So, she made a huge noise while pulling the drawer on purpose.
Keegan glared at her and continued speaking in a very gentle tone. “I’m just glad that you're okay.”
‘What a scum! Does he think that I’m dead?!"
She threw her iPad away as she was about to rage after turning her head around. However, Keegan handed her the phone.“Grandma wants to talk to you.”
Stella’s fury immediately disappeared into thin air as she took the phone and spoke softly, Grandma.”
Keegan's mouth twitched.
‘| can’t believe what I’m seeing.‘
“Stella, why didn’t you come to my house? Juno misses you so much that it doesn’t even want to eat its apples now.
Juno was Cordelia’s horse. It was about 6 foot 5, has dark and shiny hair, and a muscular build. But, its right eye was blind.Otherwise, it would undoubtedly be an award-winning horse. Cordelia was a very adventurous person, and she was into fieryhorses like Juno.
She met Juno by pure coincidence when she went to a horse racing competition in Yostrain a few years ago. Juno was only halfa year old at that time. Juno could not race because of a keeper's mistake that cost it an eye, so it was sold to a farm instead.
However, Juno was a very aggressive and rebellious horse. The owner of the farm would always punish it by whipping it due tohow inexperienced he was with horses.
