Chapter 2010
Keegan's caring words left Jaylene feeling flustered.
With a blush, she replied: [I’m fine. Keegan, did you take me home last night?]Keegan was still freshening up, and Stella was helping him iron his suit.
It was his second time getting married, yet he was very particular as if it was his first. He rummaged through his wardrobe andfound a set of red suits he insisted on wearing.
Although he had said that he would only tell everyone about already getting the marriage certificate after some time, he chosethe flashiest suit in his closet as if he was celebrating something.
When Stella was ironing the suit for the second time, Keegan's phone rang. She picked it up and checked. Then, she put downthe iron and sat on the bed to reply.
Jaylene waited momentarily, and a text message came through. It said: [ No, Darcie did. Jaylene, I'm very sorry about whathappened last time. Darcie is right. | should've stopped you from drinking so much. | shouldn't have let you get drunk outside.]
Jaylene was taken aback as she replied with a frown: [Keegan, did my mom say something to you?] [It's nothing. I'm almost fullyrecovered now. I'll try not to trouble you anymore in the future.]novelbin
Jaylene immediately became anxious, Tm sure that mom has said something to Keegan!"
She quickly called him, but the call was not picked up.
Of course, Stella would not answer the call, nor would she let Keegan.
Making Jaylene feel worried was exactly what she wanted.
Jaylene would always act like a fool when it came to dealing with Keegan, but Darcie was different.
She was very calm and rational. Getting her daughter to marry a good husband was never her goal; Caline was.She was different from Hylda. Hylda had depended on a man in everything.
So, once their relationship fell apart, she was left with nothing.
However, Darcie's focus had always been on Caline. Even if she were to divorce Wenham in the future, with such a hugeenterprise in hand, she could hold a prominent position for herself and her daughter in high society.
The Kane family was undeniably a good option, but Keegan was not a man Jaylene could control. After Darcie found out whatkind of person he was, she removed him from the list of potential sons-in-law she had been considering.
When Stella was in the Saun residence, she had seen the blind dates Darcie had set up for Jaylene.
All the young men shared a prominent family background and, like Marshall, were the only children with significant maternalfamily influence.
However, Marshall was too smart and would likely be excluded by Darcie as well.
After paving the way for Jaylene for so many years, Darcie had never expected that the daughter of Caline's founder wouldsuddenly appear and mess up her plan. So, there was no way that Darcie would allow her daughter to fall in love with Keeganwithout doing anything.
So, Stella figured that her first step would be sowing discord between Jaylene and Darcie.
Jaylene had always been very obedient to Darcie. Back in the Saun residence, when she said something inappropriate, Darciewould speak up and demand that she apologize. She would always listen, except regarding matters related to Keegan.
Now that he was finally showing interest in her, Stella led Jaylene to think Darcie said something to Keegan to destroy theirrelationship. She was rather confident with this plan she came up with.
Keegan came out of the bathroom and saw Stella sitting on the bed, looking at the phone that had been ringing persistently onthe table, her gaze filled with deviousness.
Upon hearing the footsteps, she turned around and immediately smiled," Are you done?" "Yeah,” Keegan responded. He lookedat the incoming call and turned to Stella, "What did you send her?" "A warm greeting to your precious Jaylene.”
He was speechless.
