Chapter 1893
That was everything Keegan could remember about that night.
Someone saved him.
Stella thought about when Keegan probed Jaylene; she said she had found him on the shore.
So, there were two possibilities: either Jaylene had lied, or she had been the one who had rescued Keegan from the water.However, Stella immediately dismissed this possibility.
Jaylene never hid what she had done for Keegan.
If she had jumped into the water to save him, why did she not let Keegan know and seek credit?
Therefore, the second possibility was that someone else saved Keegan, and Jaylene took advantage of the situation.However, Stella could not figure out how Jaylene conveniently knew where to find Keegan.
She then thought about Keegan's previous questions to Jaylene, ‘Did Keegan suspect that Marshall told Jaylene where he was?’2
Stella furrowed her brows and remained silent for a long time.
Just as she was lost in thought, she felt an itch on her neck.
She looked down and saw Keegan clumsily fastening a necklace for her.She was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
Keegan whispered, "It's my New Year's gift to you."
It took him some time to finally put it on for her. Then, he looked at Stella with his dazzling eyes and said in her ear," The one |bought looks better."
Stella was puzzled. It did not click until she pulled down the mirror and saw the necklace on her neck.
The necklace looked very similar to the one Marshall had given her before, but the craftsmanship on this one was moreexquisite.
Then, Stella suddenly understood the omitted part of Keegan's sentence: "The one | bought looks better than the one he gaveyou."
Stella reached out to touch the necklace on her neck. After a while, she said, "I still think the hair clip you gave Jaylene looksbetter. | spent a long time choosing it."
Keegan was speechless.
Stella squinted and looked at him from head to toe, "How dare you steal my things and give them to another woman? Do youthink our relationship is too stable and want to spice things up?"
Keegan's lips moved, but it took him some time to finally speak, "I didn't steal it. You dropped it on the floor, and | picked it up."“And you gave it to someone else?"
Keegan mumbled and explained for a long time before Stella finally understood his intention.
He had brought many gifts to the Saun residence for everyone in the family, but he forgot about Jaylene.
Jaylene was sensitive; such abnormal behavior would arouse suspicion once she noticed it. So, Keegan, being the clever man,took the hairpin from the floor and personally gave it to her as a gift.
He figured that if he gave Jaylene her gift separately and even put it on for her, she would undoubtedly be charmed by him.
Compared to the other ordinary presents, this special gift would make her feel that Keegan considered her different fromeveryone else.
Jaylene was not as "superficial" as Stella was. She would not fuss over a one-dollar hair clip as Stella did.
For Jaylene, the value was not in the price of the hair clip but in the person who gave it.
Stella imagined what would have happened if Keegan had not prepared a gift for herself and tried to fool her with a cheap hairclip.
They would probably end up having a big fight.The cheers from the distant crowd accompanied the countdown to zero, and the sky lit up with fireworks.The new year had arrived.
Stella looked at the fireworks through the window, turned her head, and kissed Keegan. "Keegan Kane, Happy New Year," shewhispered.
Keegan remained quiet as he leaned against her in the car seat and intertwined his fingers with hers, gently resting them on herbelly.
After some time, Stella said, "I suddenly thought of something else too. How did your vasectomy fail?"After waiting for a while without a response, she turned her head and saw that Keegan had fallen asleep.Stella sighed and then got up, reaching over to fasten his seatbelt before driving away.
In the Saun residence, as soon as the clock hit midnight, Wenham started yawning continuously. Both Trevor and Marshall haddrunk quite a bit.
Trevor never knew that Marshall had such a high alcohol tolerance before that day. He was already starting to feel tipsy, yetMarshall could still speak very coherently.novelbin
