Chapter 508
Keegan was stupefied. His face did not hide the shock and anxiousness that suddenly sprung up from the bottom of his heart.Bella was stunned as well and immediately asked, "Visit whose parents?"novelbin
"My parents, of course," Trevor said with a happy face. "We have known each other for some time, so it's about time she meetsmy parents.
Otherwise, they might think that I'm single and find more potential partners for me."
Stella was startled. The way Trevor answered may have saved her face, but it felt weird coming from him. Bella could not believeher eyes. "Mr. Saun, do you actually mean it when you say that you are bringing her to meet your parents?"
Trevor shot a glance at her, "Is it that astonishing?"
"..A little." Bella clenched her fingers and said in a low voice, "Ms. Jewell divorced not long ago and is already meeting up withyour parents now. Isn't things going a little too fast?"
"That's alright. It's not good to wait even a moment longer if you have met the right person. | originally thought | might not have achance anymore, so | have to thank Mr. Kane who could not be any blinder to her worth." Trevor paused and put up a smile. "Mr.Kane, | am grateful for this chance. I'll send you a wedding invitation when we tie the knot."
Stella just stood there with a poker face while Trevor was talking nonsense. His acting was spot on. When he was saying "if wetie the knot", he even looked affectionately at her, as if he had already fallen head over heels for her. Keegan's face, right at thatmoment, contorted beyond belief. With bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth, he asked Stella, "Is what he said all true?"
Stella somehow felt an indescribable panic and disappointment in his eyes when he asked that question. She discarded thatthought as soon as it surfaced in her mind. ‘Why would Keegan be sad? On what ground should he be sad when all that hashappened was caused by him? If that was the case, it was because I've hurt his reputation by having another potential mate rightafter our divorce and nothing else.’
“No matter the truth, does that have anything to do with you anymore?" Stella glanced at him indifferently, not wanting to staythere a moment longer. She did not want to see both Bella and Keegan. It was even worse when they were both together.
She could not help but remember the scene of Keegan being by Bella's side during the funeral at Rivera. Stella, not looking athim a moment longer, turned her head toward Trevor and said, "Let's go inside, Mr. Saun."
Upon seeing Keegan's breakdown, Trevor smiled and said to Stella, "What do you say we grab some mango pudding after themeal?"
"That's a good idea. I'd like that."
Their voices trailed further and further away, but Keegan was still standing at the same spot with his bloodshot eyes. Keeganwould naturally not believe Trevor's act. He was more disappointed with Stella for not refuting anything he had said. Although hedid not believe that Stella would be into Trevor, he did not want to helplessly see Stella meet Trevor's parents and do nothing atall. ‘What happens if Trevor likes her, even if she doesn't reciprocate? Stella is beautiful, very good with her words, filial, andeven saved Jaylene's life before. The Saun family does not have a reason to dislike her at all.' He scowled at the sight of the twofigures walking away and lifted his legs to keep up with them.
Seeing that Keegan was about to leave, Bella quickly pulled on his hand. ’ Mr. Kane..."
She just touched his hand but was immediately shaken off. Keegan frowned and asked impolitely, "What?"
Bella was shocked, retracted her finger, and whispered, "Mr. Kane, would you kindly help me? There is this very thorny lawsuit ofmine. The lawyer that the other party hired is competent and will be very disadvantageous for my career if | lost the lawsuit.Please help me, Mr. Kane."
However, Keegan stared at her coldly. "Our contract has ended."
"| know," Bella whispered. "I have no other choice but to look for you. The lawyer the other party hired is your good friend, Mr.Moore. And, he had no previous record of losing such cases. So, I'm really worried..." "That's your problem," said Keeganindifferently. "Would you even be afraid of people trying to sue you if your actions are just?"
