Chapter 1739
Keegan looked puzzled, glancing at Jaylene for an explanation.novelbin
She clarified, "Dad, Keegan told me he was coming. It was my bad for not keeping you in the loop. | wanted to surprise you."Wenham did not understand her thought process. ‘It sure is a surprise.*
"Stella is coming home for lunch. She wouldn't be pleased if she found these two together. Why does Jaylene have a crush onKeegan of all people? This isn't good, especially considering he's dealing with amnesia and doesn’t even recognize Stella.’
The more Wenham thought about it, the less he liked Keegan.
While Jaylene was preparing some fruit in the kitchen, Wenham turned to Keegan and asked, "Do you really not rememberStella?"
Keegan lowered his gaze and replied, "Mhm."“What's Jaylene to you then?""She saved my life." Keegan explained.
"That's all?" Wenham doubted his response, his sharp gaze piercing through Keegan. "You were missing for a month, and youshowed up with Jaylene after that. What happened between you two during that time? Why are you suddenly so close to her?"
Keegan tightened his lips and took a moment before responding, "Uncle Wenham, what happened in the past month is apersonal issue. I'm not prepared to discuss it at the moment." 3
Wenham's expression grew stern. "Keegan, I'm not concerned about your feelings for Jaylene. But if you choose to be with herand hurt Stella, | won't be quick to forgive you!"
Keegan looked at him and replied, "Jaylene has been your daughter for over twenty years. How can you be biased just becauseshe's not your flesh and blood?" 2
Upon hearing that, Wenham became furious. He was about to speak when he noticed Stella in the living room, hand in hand withMarshall.
"Stella?" he exclaimed.Keegan paused and glanced over.
Stella was in a red dress, her coat slung over one arm while the other held onto Marshall, who carried two bottles of wine. Theyappeared quite the striking couple.
Stella didn't spare a glance at Keegan. Instead, she smiled at Wenham and said, "Dad, | hope you don't mind that | brought afriend over to join us for lunch.”
Stunned by the scene in front of him, Wenham finally understood why Stella had asked for a grand lunch.
"| don't mind at all. You rarely bring friends home. How would | mind?" Although he didn't know why Stella brought Marshall,Wenham didn't mind showing her support.
Marshall was also very polite. "Mr. Saun, I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused by my grandfather's actions before. Pleaseaccept these gifts as a token of apology.”
Though Wenham did not like Frederick, he didn't extend that resentment to Marshall.
It was unclear if Keegan's memory loss had made him unpleasant, but Wenham found Marshall quite appealing.
He immediately put on a smile and said, "You didn't have to. What happened between me and your grandfather is in the past."Taking the gifts Marshall brought, Wenham opened them, and his eyes lit up. "How did you know | like this wine?"
Marshall smiled modestly. "| wasn't sure, so | asked Stella, and she helped me choose."
Wenham felt even more pleased hearing that his daughter knew his preferences.
“Even if you had some help, it shows you care. Unlike some people who bring me some ginseng and desserts." 1
