Vermont could not help but spurt the tea in his mouth all over. He coughed for some time as his face turned extremely red.However, he still teased Felicity, "If my name is Doggy, does that make you Bitchy? It doesn't sound too bad. We can callourselves the Night Howlers, and our children can be called Cute Puppies. What do you think?"
Felicity's face turned red from anger, "Only your children will be called puppies!""Yeah," Vermont smiled. "You'll be the one giving birth to them for me."novelbin
Felicity punched him. When the two started fooling around, the atmosphere at the table became much happier. Keegan tookadvantage of the situation and pulled Stella closer, whispering, "Please don't be mad at me, okay?"
Stella glanced at him, pursed her lips, and sat back down. Then, she "reluctantly" said, "I'm only staying because | don't want toruin someone else's wedding."
Keegan lowered his eyes, seeming to chuckle. He continued softly, "Thank you, Coach Hall."
‘Coach Hall..."
Stella suddenly remembered a time when Keegan used to call her "Coach Jewell" by her ear, asking for extra class.She then immediately looked at Keegan, who seemed calm and perfectly normal.
‘Scumbag! If you're going to pretend, then do it properly. Stop teasing me like that!’ Stella thought to herself.
"Oh, by the way..." Marshall took a sip of the wine and put the glass down. He continued, "Keegan, | bumped into someonefamiliar when | was at the office just now."
Keegan shifted his gaze to Marshall nonchalantly.Then, Marshall said, "It was your aunt, Scarlett Ford. She wants to hire a lawyer to handle her divorce. Do you know about that?"Keegan frowned, showing that he was unaware, "Since when?"
"It seems to have been happening before the New Year. | heard from my colleagues that she had inquired about the divorce onthe phone before, but she probably had not made up her mind yet at that time. However, she came over today, probablyintending to consult with a lawyer."
Marshall paused before continuing, "She claimed that her husband hid his wealth from her and even had a secret lover behindher back. She wants to file a divorce and discuss the division of their property and the custody of their two children. |recommended one of my colleagues who specializes in divorce cases to her. Your aunt has been married to your uncle for abouttwenty years now; | don't think he's someone who would do those things. Do you want to tell Ms. Crosby about it so she can talkto them? Although something unpleasant happened between you
guys back then, you're still family."
Keegan was taken aback, "What unpleasant things?”
Marshall paused and rubbed his temples, seemingly a little distressed, "Sorry. | forgot that you don't remember anything. |*Keegan frowned, looking somewhat confused and bewildered.
Stella lowered her gaze and sipped on her juice slowly.
She felt like Marshall was probing whether Keegan had recovered his memory.
Previously, Dahlia had brought Blake to her to cause trouble, and they argued. This caused Keegan's relationship with theCrosby family to become very bad. If he still could not remember Stella, he would not know what had happened.
He brought the matter up using the issue of Blake and Scarlett getting a divorce.
Initially, Stella focused entirely on the divorce, thinking it had nothing to do with Keegan. She knew that Blake and Scarlett werenot good people because they never offered Keegan any help when he was in trouble. Instead, they made things worse for himand even took advantage of his wealth using their relationship with Dahlia.
Now that they were getting a divorce, Stella felt like it was a godsend. If they were not out in public, she would probably say thatshe had been waiting for this moment.
She had not realized the trap that Marshall set Keegan with.However, if Keegan had thought the same way as her, Marshall's intention could have most probably been achieved.‘Is he doing this on purpose?’ Stella wondered to herself.
Marshall continued, "Your aunt is well-prepared, and it seems like she's determined to get a divorce. Although you had someunhappy encounters with Blake, he's still your uncle. You should at least tell him about it so he can be prepared in advance toavoid losing both his family and money."
