Chapter 1131

"You're overthinking it. I wouldn't have agreed to go to the glassware store with you if I was actually trying to avoid

people from seeing us together. I just don't feel cold right now," Stella explained.

Stella was someone who only remembers the good and forgets the bad. She had forgotten Keegan's warning when

Marshall asked her to go shopping for glassware with him. However, Marshall's sudden move of putting his coat

over her reminded her how flirty they were being with each other. That was why she rejected the offer.

'Then again, he did it so naturally. It doesn't seem like a romantic gesture. I bet Marshall wouldn't even fall for

someone like me. Someone as gentle as him would probably like a modest and elegant woman or a girl with a sassy

personality who deviates from the norm. And I'm clearly none of those. I'm just awkward and cheesy, especially

when it comes to love.'

Marshall smiled, hearing her say that. "Alright. Maybe I'm the one who's being overly sensitive." He paused for a

few seconds and said, "Hold on." He turned and went back to the car. After a while, he came back and handed

Stella a gift box. "Here are the mugs you picked out earlier."

Stella was surprised. "When did you get these?"

"When you were making a statement with the authorities. I asked the people at the store to pack them up for me. I

had

to get the tea sets anyway, so I got yours too."

Stella smiled and said, 'Til transfer you the money later."

Marshall smiled back and did not say anything to that. "Go on, get in the car. Drive safe, okay? Find somewhere to

stop if you're not feeling well. Text me when you get home."

Stella nodded, "Alright. You drive safe too."

After saying goodbye, Stella drove away. Marshall only turned around to go when her car disappeared from view.

While Stella was on her way home, Keegan called. She turned on the speakerphone and teased, "Have you finished

your work, Mr. Kane?"

Keegan sounded serious on the phone. "Where are you?" he asked with a hint of fear and anger. He tried his best to

suppress it, but Stella could tell he had probably learned about what happened in the mall earlier.

The incident had gone viral on the news not long after she came out of the hospital. Her phone was filled with

unread messages and missed calls from caring fans and friends. However, some were from haters online, and

Stella did not bother to reply.

Keegan called just as she thought about how he would have received the news by then. "I'm on the way back to

your place. I bought the expensive fish, by the way. Don't say I don't spoil you."

"That's not the point." Keegan was annoyed and amused at the same time.

"Weren't you the one who said I don't spoil you enough?" Stella asked.

Keegan was furious but did not let it get the best of him. He knew that the incident was not Stella's fault. 'She was

bullied. I have to get back at those people for her, not scold her.'

"How's the injury?"

"It's as small as a fingernail. It was almost healed when I got to the hospital." Stella tried to make it sound less

severe than it was lest Keegan would worry.

'It must be serious. Stella always acts like it's the end of the world whenever she gets a minor injury. But she plays it

cool when things are serious so that she wouldn't trouble others and make them worried,' Keegan thought to

himself.

Keegan started to choke up. After a while, he said, "Where are you right now?”

"I'm almost at Lumi River."

"Come pick me up at the lab. We can go home together," said Keegan.
