Keegan glanced at Stella. "I'll print and give you other photos of me. What's so nice about this one? | look so innocent andignorant." "No way. | think you look very handsome." Stella smiled and flattered him," Much more handsome than now. You wereat your peak when you were twenty years old, don't you think so?"
Keegan's mood brightened upon hearing that as a smile appeared on his face. "I still prefer how | look now," he said flatly.
Looking too handsome and attractive was not necessarily a good thing in the corporate world. Imagine someone with a charmingand youthful aura; even with innovative and cutting-edge ideas, the appearance may make them sound less convincing.
Over the years, Keegan had maintained the habit of exercising not because he particularly enjoyed it but because having arobust physique helped him look older and more mature.
Although he still had a beautiful face, his bulky build and the aura accumulated from years of business experience left no onedaring to underestimate him.
The twenty-year-old Keegan was fresh-faced, while the thirty-year-old Keegan exuded the mature charm of a man.The former attracted young girls, but the latter was irresistible to a married woman like Stella.
Stella could not help but kiss him on the cheek and said, "Hurry up and pack, or we might miss the last bus to Jorgeville. Theroad condition there is very poor; it's more convenient for US to take a bus."novelbin
She was about to let go as she spoke, but Keegan grabbed her hand. He said, "Let's go back some other days. There'll be a lotof people at the wishing well around this time. What if someone knocked you over?
Besides, the scented candles they light up around the wishing well are not good for a pregnant woman, too."Stella became hesitant upon hearing that.
“But my wish came true. If | don't go back there, won't the fairies think I'm ungrateful and hold it against me?"Keegan chuckled softly. "I thought you didn't believe in these things."
Stella leaned on his shoulder and spoke in a soft voice, "! believe in it wholeheartedly now. Look, they've brought you back,haven't they?”
Keegan tousled her hair. "Let me contact the person taking care of the wishing well first. We can donate some money to improvethe condition of that place. Once you've given birth and are feeling better, we can go back and thank the fairies, okay?"
Stella thought that Keegan's arrangement was good. After all, it was not suitable for her to go to crowded places now.
"But | already turned down Grandma and Dad, saying that we won't join them for Thanksgiving. It's a big holiday, and everyone'sbusy with their own plans. Where should we go?"
Keegan suggested, "Well, I've been wanting to try Great Grandpa's suckling piglets."Stella laughed upon hearing that. "It's already been a few months. I'm afraid that the piglets are all grown up now."Keegan then lowered his voice and spoke in a coquettish tone, "Mrs. Kane, | really want to try them."
Stella's heart instantly melted.
So Keegan informed Aldor, and the two quietly went to Jorgeville to visit Arthur.
Meanwhile, in sterling Legal Solutions, someone knocked on Marshall's office door. The intern, carrying a bag, opened the doorand placed the documents on the desk. He said, ’ Mr. Moore, I'm leaving now. You should get some rest, too."
Marshall nodded without looking at him.The intern silently closed the door and left.
After a few minutes, Marshall's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and answered, "What's the time now? Why aren't youhome yet?"
It was Wallace.
Marshall responded flatly, "I still have some work to do." "Can't you do it tomorrow? You're always late!" Wallace paused, sighed,and continued in a low voice, "Come home now. Your mom is waiting for you."
Marshall kept quiet for a moment before he replied softly, "Okay."
