Keegan scoffed and typed: [Who sent you that holiday greeting on your phone that you stared at for so long during our stay atGreat Grandpa's house?]
Stella paused, recalling the night she received a holiday greeting from Marshall before bed. She had spent a long time ponderingover it, especially thinking about the rabbit charm, causing her to stare at the phone for a while.
She texted: [Weren't you asleep then?]Keegan sent: [It doesn't matter whether | was asleep or not. I'm asking you, from now on, can I reply to his messages for you?]Stella was indifferent and replied: (Do as you wish. | have nothing to hide.]
Satisfied with her response, Keegan did not mind being used by Stella anymore. He even asked for advice: [So, how should |respond to her?]
Stella texted: [No need to reply. From now on, unless I'm with you, don't respond to anything she sends. She'll make her ownassumptions.]
Keegan was speechless and did not reply.
As Stella was typing, Jaylene sat down across from her with her tray. Stella glanced at her and discreetly closed the chatwindow.
With a smile, Jaylene said, "Stella, how do you find the cafeteria food? If it doesn't suit your taste, there are some decentrestaurants downstairs. | can have someone get you something else."
Stella paused for a moment, then smiled politely. "No, this is fine."
As Jaylene wiped her utensils, she mentioned casually, "Stella, | have some flowers in my office. You should come by later andtake a few for your vase. It might cheer you up during work." ‘There she goes.’ Stella thought. She smiled at Jaylene and asked,"Oh? What kind of flowers?"
Before Jaylene could respond, a colleague from the next table chimed in, m' Roses, red roses. A big bunch of them."Stella appeared intrigued and asked, "Roses? Jaylene, do you have an admirer?"
Jaylene smiled and replied, "Just a friend.”
Stella pressed further, "Which friend?"
The colleague quickly answered, "The delivery guy was quite loud. He said a man with the last four digits 8286 on his phone. |remember it clearly."
As soon as Stella heard that, she pretended to stiffen, her smile gradually fading away.
Pretending not to notice, Jaylene stopped the colleague. "Nonsense, it's just a normal friend."
Stella forced a smile and said, "You've quite a generous friend.”novelbin
After that, Stella seemed to lose her appetite, hastily eating a few bites before leaving.
Seeing Stella in low spirits, Jaylene was very happy and continued her meal. While Jaylene was eating, her phone beeped.
Jaylene glanced at her phone and saw Stella's latest social media post-a wedding photo of Stella and Keegan. Stella had evengone as far as changing her profile background to that same picture.
With a sneer, Jaylene hesitated before tapping the like’ button on the photo. She couldn't help but think, ‘Back when Stella andKeegan were madly in love, they kept their relationship low-key on social media.’
But now, all of a sudden, after those flowers supposedly from Keegan arrived, Stella couldn't wait to flaunt their photo.’ ‘It justshows she's trying to compensate for what she's missing.’
