Chapter 1786
Ignoring Stella, Keegan strode past the wedding photos and placed her luggage on the table. The housekeeper, Maria, who hadbeen upstairs tidying, came down upon hearing the commotion. She greeted them with a smile, "Sir, Madam, welcome back."
Keegan nodded briefly and indicated the items on the table," Maria, could you assist Ms. Hall in getting her luggage to the guestroom?"
Maria looked surprised, "Guest room?"
Keegan affirmed, "Ms. Hall is here to help me recover my memory. She'll be staying here for a while. Please help her settle in."Maria was aware of Keegan's amnesia but didn't expect it to be this severe, with him not recognizing Stella.
Recalling Cordelia's instructions, Maria hesitated, "Sir, the guest rooms are currently unavailable."
Keegan was taken aback. "None of the guest rooms are usable?"
Maria explained, "That's correct."
Keegan felt skeptical and decided to open each door, one by one. To his surprise, except for the master bedroom, none of theother rooms had beds.
Maria stood there, wearing an awkward smile.
It seemed Cordelia had ordered the beds in the other rooms to be dismantled overnight, perhaps intending to confine the two ofthem to one bed.
Keegan pursed his lips, casting a glance at Stella.
Raising an eyebrow, Stella remarked, "You don't think | asked Grandma to do this, do you?"
Keegan remained silent.novelbin
Stella chuckled, "What can | do to you? Can you even get the task done if you're unwilling to be with me?"
Keegan was stunned by her words. His ears turned red, a mix of embarrassment and irritation flashing across his face. "Whatnonsense are you talking about? | did it for the sake of your reputation!"
“What reputation do | have left if you're divorcing me?" Stella shot back, tossing her luggage into a room. She thenretrieved her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, I'd like to order a bed. Yes, right now. I'll send you the address."
After ending the call, Stella turned to Keegan and remarked,” Alternatively, you could disassemble the cabinet in this room. I'llarrange to have a whole set of furniture delivered."
Keegan left the room, rubbing his temples in exasperation.
Aldor had previously mentioned Stella had a good temper, but Keegan couldn't see that side of her. He felt he had no option butto endure it. He had a sense that he had brought this situation upon himself.
And indeed, that was the case.
Keegan didn't stay much longer after that. Instead, he headed to Vinci Rivera.
It was his first visit to the company since his return, and there were numerous miscellaneous matters to address, keeping himoccupied until after 7:00 p.m.
The people on his team were thinking of a gathering to welcome Keegan back and lift his spirits.
Keegan agreed to the gathering, and while he was preparing, he came across a hand-drawn picture in a drawer of his officedesk.
The drawing depicted a woman in a gown, holding a dog.Suddenly, he remembered the large wedding photo at Royalpark Villa.
In that photo, Stella was wearing a red gown, standing next to him. Her pose and demeanor in the photo were an exact match tothe hand-drawn portrait, except in the drawing, she was holding a dog in his place, with a leash.
Keegan glanced at the signature below the drawing-Stella Jewell.
Beneath the signature was a date from April of the previous year.
