Jaylene frequently spoke negatively about Stella, citing instances like Trevor distancing himself from Jaylene after Stella's return,Wenham's inclination to give Stella her room, and an incident involving Stella replacing expensive decorations with cheaperitems.
At that time, Keegan hadn't perceived Stella's actions as inherently wrong. Instead, he harbored a peculiar sensation- a strongurge to meet her face-to-face.
One day, when Jaylene wasn't present, he ventured out in a car.Despite not knowing what Stella looked like, the instant he laid eyes on her, he recognized her immediately.
That day, Stella stood outside the Vinci Rivera office building, dressed in formal attire with her hair elegantly tied back. She hadcome out to bid farewell to Ted and the others.
Her face boasted exquisite features. Despite the makeup, the weariness in her eyes was evident.She appeared completely distinct from the person Jaylene had portrayed as frugal and grasping.She was like a blooming rose, shining among the crowd.
He stared at her for a long time and felt something in his heart. It was not until Jaylene called him and asked him where he wasbefore he hurriedly left.
Jaylene kept a close eye on him. Even when she was not around, she would have at least two people in the ward to take care ofhim.
It felt more like surveillance than care.Everything he did and every person he talked to would be immediately reported back to Jaylene.
Though he sensed something was off about Jaylene, he pretended ignorance and didn't inform her about secretly meeting Stella.His injuries hadn't completely healed, and uncertainty loomed over many aspects, so he opted for inaction.
However, despite his efforts, Jaylene became aware because Stella sought him out.
That day, his wound reopened during the commotion. Numerous medications were administered during the stitching process,leaving him in a daze for several days.
When he regained consciousness, the memory of meeting Stella had faded. Strangely, he sensed a peculiar closeness toJaylene, an inexplicable feeling shrouded in indescribable vagueness.
So, before he could figure out what was happening, he did not want to get Stella involved, acting purely on instinct.But Stella did not seem to distance herself from him because of his harsh words.
Instead, she continued to appear around him. Initially contemplating divorcing her once he recovered to protect her from thechaos, he had a feeling that the situation was somehow linked to the kidnapping case.
He felt the need to stay around Jaylene to uncover potential clues, and having Stella around would only complicate things.
The news of Stella's pregnancy caught him entirely off guard.
When Aldor discussed it with him, his thoughts swirled into chaos. He pondered when it happened, why Stella didn't inform him,whether she faced difficulties due to the pregnancy, or if she was feeling unwell...
He never doubted for a moment that the baby wasn't his. He held an inexplicable trust in Stella. Despite Aldor's mention of hisvasectomy, he chose to believe that the procedure had failed, refusing to entertain the notion of betrayal on Stella's part.
He wasn't someone who easily placed trust in others.
Similarly, with Jaylene, despite their month-long companionship and her dedicated care, he maintained his guard around her.But it was not the same with Stella. Despite the initial resistance he felt toward Stella, he never harbored any doubts about her.Reflecting on his meeting with Stella while he was still recovering from his injuries, his suspicions regarding Jaylene intensified.
Jaylene's assertions-that Stella was inexperienced in perfumery and had obtained what was rightfully Jaylene's due toWenham's favoritism-now appeared more dubious to him.
