Stella chuckled, "Is Trevor really that unreasonable? Lately, he has been including your share whenever he sends me something.So don't go around bad-mouthing him."
Keegan laughed at the sound of that, "The chairman election is next week. If | get chosen, I'll probably be busy for the first half ofthe year. | don't want you to be disappointed with me for being unable to travel with you."
Stella lightly caressed his ear, "Why would | be disappointed with you?""| used to neglect family because of my job. | didn't even know when you fell ill.”novelbin
‘| didn't divorce you because you were too busy with work,’ thought Stella. But upon some consideration, Keegan indeed used tobe overly immersed in work. He was not good at understanding people's emotions and did not like explaining himself.
At that time, Stella was a full-time housewife, and being alone for too long led to overthinking. This led to variousmisunderstandings, which snowballed into their separation.
Keegan often reflected on himself. He believed being too engrossed in work was one of the root causes of their problems.Stella murmured, "The election is important. I'm a bit worried that you'd fall behind if you travel with me now."“Relax. When have you ever heard about high achievers performing poorly in crucial situations?” said Keegan.
His confidence rendered Stella speechless. Then, she said," Well, | haven't heard of that before. But I've also never seen highachievers brag about themselves all the time."
Aldor, who was driving, could not help but speak up, "Mr. Kane has never boasted about himself in front of outsiders. It's onlywhen he's with you that he's like a peacock displaying its feathers in hopes that you can see his beauty and appeal."
Keegan's face darkened when he heard Aider's description," Shut up!"
Stella could not help but burst into laughter. She suddenly thought of the viral video where a male peacock chased after a femalepeacock and spread its feathers. It was likely that Aldor came across the same meme on the internet.
They finally reached the airport not long after that exchange. Keegan gave Aldor some instructions before he left. Then, he tookStella's hand and headed toward Solstice Shore while carrying their luggage.
Once they boarded the plane, Stella sent Trevor a message on WhatsApp. The text roughly stated that she would be gone fortwo days and would return on the night of her birthday.
Trevor hurriedly contacted her, but the call could not get through because she had turned off her phone. He tried Keegan'snumber, but it was also unreachable.
‘Keegan must've taken her away again!’ Trevor was annoyed for a moment but quickly let it go, knowing that he did not have toworry for his sister's safety.
‘It might be good that she isn't around for these two days,’ he thought. Trevor knew Darcie would not let the fact that Chris hadbeen fired and might even face legal trouble slide.
"She has many companies in Hustuabourg, and her family manages a lot of them. She'll definitely try to stir up some troublesince Stella removed one of her henchmen.’
Just as Trevor was thinking about this, Wenham called him, telling him to come home. His intuition told him it had something todo with Darcie, so he asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"
"Darcie's relatives are here. | need you to come and help me entertain them," Wenham replied.
‘What does he mean by Darcie's relatives? | bet they're related to Chris."
Wenham rarely interacted with Darcie's family. When he first married her, the Arnolds always boasted about her being Mrs.Saun. They would also mention Freesia's short life.
Word got around quickly, and Wenham was furious. He almost got a divorce, but Eleanor fought hard to stop it. 2
The Arnolds rarely appeared in front of them after that incident. Even if they visited during holidays, Wenham was extremely coldand asked Trevor to entertain them.
"You're still the same as before, Dad. Just find an excuse to leave. Say you're going fishing," joked Trevor.
Wenham grumbled irritably and said, "Don't you think | want to? They're literally kneeling at the door. | can't leave with themblocking the exit."
