Chapter 2185
With teary eyes, Dahlia clasped Jaylene's hand. "Jaylene, you're such a gem. | truly appreciate your help, thank you so much. |promise, once the funds from the orders come through, I'll repay you the twenty million.”
Jaylene waved it off, feeling a tad embarrassed. "Aunt Dahlia, please don't mention it. | genuinely regard you and Keegan asfamily. How could | sit idle when you're in trouble? I'll contact the bank right away to transfer the money, and you can proceed tosave Uncle."
Dahlia poured out her gratitude, lavishing Jaylene with compliments.
However, Jaylene didn't have that much liquid capital at hand. Normally, she would have turned to Trevor for a loan, but thissituation involved Dahlia. Trevor still harbored resentment toward her for her treatment of Stella back in the Kane household. Ifhe knew this money was for Dahlia, he definitely wouldn't lend it.
Asking Darcie was out of the question. Darcie wished for nothing more than to sever all ties between her and Keegan.
After careful thought, Jaylene decided to mortgage her villa under her name. Once she secured the money, she promptlytransferred it to Dahlia.
Upon hearing the news, Stella was taken aback.
She nudged Keegan, who was reading nearby. "Are you touched? Twenty million just like that, without a second thought.Jaylene's affection for you runs deep."
Keegan pulled her foot onto his lap, flipping through his book. "Didn't you also take two hundred and fifty million? Your affectionruns even deeper."
Stella scoffed. "Don't pat yourself on the back. | didn't just receive it for free. | won it back from your uncle. What Jaylene gavewas genuine money.novelbin
She did it purely out of consideration for you. Aren't you touched at all?”Keegan glanced at her. "You want me to be touched?"
Stella looked away. "Just curious."
She wasn't trying to test Keegan; she just felt unsettled inside.
Aman pursuing a woman was different from a woman pursuing a man.
Even if Keegan didn't fancy Jaylene's type, consistently being put first in someone's heart could eventually evoke feelings oftenderness and pity. Once a man began feeling pity for a woman, falling in love was only a matter of time.
As the saying goes, men fear commitment while women fear abandonment. Moreover, Jaylene was quite adept at this.Suddenly, Stella worried that one day she might actually push Keegan away.
Keegan suddenly chuckled, and Stella frowned. "What's so funny?"
Setting the book aside, Keegan drewcloser to her. "When you used me asbait to lure her in, you were prettyconfident, weren PAS? Spe Voubeing sdbaty 1 now?" As he spoke, heplaced his hand on her stomach, hisfingertips sliding from her abdomento her chest. He raised his eyes, thecorners of his mouth curling, hisvoice low and deep, "Is the weight ofthe baby pressing on your heart?"The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
