Cordelia continued, "However, it seems like you've been performing well lately since the Saun family is still willing to invite youhere.”
Keegan replied, "Stella had made her stance clear to her family. She said that if they don't agree with us being together, she'llend her own life."
It was just a statement, but Keegan was somehow showing off when he said that.
Cordelia fell silent for a moment. Then, she said, "The banquet hasn't even started yet, and you're already drunk?"Her response dumbfounded Keegan.
"Don't you have a little self-awareness? Clearly, Stella was just teasing you. Why would you take it so seriously?"
Of course, Keegan did not take it seriously, as Cordelia said. He was simply trying to show off a little. However, it turned out thathis grandmother was still sharp enough to know about his place in Stella's heart.
It stung Keegan a little."Keegan."
Jaylene's gentle voice came from behind. Keegan paused, turned around, and nodded politely to her. Cordelia also adjusted herposture. She sat up straight with an elder's demeanor.
Jaylene wore a light blue long dress that exuded a hint of elegance. Her long hair was tied in a low ponytail, and she wore adelicately designed sapphire necklace around her neck, with matching earrings. They complimented her graceful makeup andhighlighted her beauty.
She had a slender figure, a skinny waist, and a charming presence. She walked gracefully, catching the attention of many.Obviously, she was the spotlight of the banquet that night.
As she approached Cordelia, she asked gently, "Grandma, when did you arrive?"
Cordelia smiled and replied, "Not long ago. Jaylene, you look gorgeous tonight."
Jaylene seemed a little shy and said softly, "Our family is welcoming my younger sister back in the family today, and it's a joyousday for everyone. So, of course, | have to dress up for the occasion."
Stella was almost three months younger than Jaylene. So, technically, she was Jaylene's younger sister.novelbin
Cordelia still smiled when she said, "The jewelry you're wearing shone so brightly, and | couldn't even see you clearly when youwere walking over here. | thought that it must be the new heiress of the Saun family because of how extravagantly you dressed. |only realized | was wrong when you spoke to me."
Jaylene was taken aback.
Cordelia's words sounded strange as if she was implying that her outfit was too showy and that she was trying to steal thelimelight. Jaylene scrutinized Cordelia's expression and saw her gentle and kind smile, which made her feel like she might justbe overthinking.
She pursed her lips and changed the topic before she stepped forward to hold Cordelia's arm. "Grandma, this seat is a bit off tothe side. Let me take you to the front."
"It's fine." Cordelia patted the back of her hand and said gently, "My old eyes can't see if | sat too near to the front. This distanceis just right for me."
Jaylene paused and had no choice but to retract her hand.
She raised her hand, and a waiter soon came over with a tray. The waiter bent over and placed some delicate-looking pastrieson the table next to Cordelia.
Jaylene said, "Grandma, | had someone specially prepared these pastries and food for you. The dishes served later are mostlyvery flavorful, and | thought you may not like them. So | got you these lighter and softer snacks that are easier to digest."
She paused for a moment before saying to Keegan, "Keegan, the banquet will only start a while later. You should have some,
too.Keegan did not say anything.
Cordelia smiled and said to Keegan, "Look at how thoughtful Jaylene is. It would be great if your sister were as sensible as her."Keegan said, "I'll make Aurora learn from her."
His response made Jaylene utterly speechless.
