Chapter 182
Keegan obviously did not want to let Cordelia know that he was attacked, mainly because he was afraid that she would beworried. “Are you eating well, dear?” the old lady furrowed her brows. “You've become skinnier since the last time | saw you. Haseverything been alright these past two days?”
“Yes, grandma. I’m feeling much better now. I'll be able to return to the company in a few days.”
“There’s no rush. Your health is much more important.” Cordelia looked at the cup of coffee in Keegan’s hand and frowned. “Whyare you still drinking coffee with an upset tummy?” shenovelbin
asked.Keegan immediately dumped the blame on Stella. “It’s hers,” he said.
“Stella, you can’t be drinking coffee either. It'll affect your sleep” Stella bit the bullet and said, “Okay, grandma. I'll stop drinkingcoffee” The old lady was satisfied with her answer.
Seeing a pile of clothes on the couch, she asked, “Are you going out?” Stella did not know what to say. If she said that she wasgoing to a jewelry exhibition, knowing that Cordelta’s precious grandson Keegan was “ill”, Cordelia would definitely be unhappy
She was still trying to find an excuse when Keegan said, “She's too noisy. There happens to be a jewelry exhibition tonight, so |asked her to go because | wanted some peace and quiet”
“Is it the one trene is organizing?” Cordelia wondered Irene Moore, the organizer of the jewelry exhibition, was also Marshall’saunt Keegan nodded. The old lady smiled and said, Good. We'll go together.”
“You're going too?” Keegan asked as he was startled. “Irene told me that she had a fine piece of jade. She even invited theVenerable Raphael Morghen from the Temple of Abawo to bless the stone. So, I’m going to have a look.”
Cordelia was a very superstitious woman and liked jades a lot. She had a good relationship with the Venerable RaphaelMorghen and even donated to renovate the temple. When Stella and Keegan got married, Cordelia went to the temple to look attheir horoscopes; they were a match made in heaven.
Stella had always felt that the Venerable Raphael Morghen was a bit of a charlatan, but to each their own. ‘There’s no need tomake her unhappy,’ she thought.
Keegan frowned and said, “Marshall didn’t mention anything about a jade. He only mentioned something about a LuminousPearl.”
“I'm not sure. Maybe one of Irene’s friends brought it. I'll just have to go and see.”
“I'll go too,” Keegan pursed his lips and said.
The old lady glanced at him and replied, “If you think Stella is noisy, wouldn't it be noisier with so many people there?”Keegan’s expression remained the same. ‘I'll get used to it,” he said. “I can’t possibly just throw her out, can I?”The corners of Stella’s lips twitched when she heard that. ‘Asshole!’ she thought.
