Chapter 1135
Stella’s face darkened, and she hit him on the shoulders." I'm not the one to blame if you fail at cooking. It must be
because you lack talent!"
"Okay. So I lack talent. Can you invest more of your attention on me, Ms. Jewell?" Keegan chuckled.
"Stop fooling around and drive. The fish's gonna go bad if we don't get home soon," Stella urged as she fastened
her seat belt. Keegan stopped talking and began to drive.
When they arrived, Stella went upstairs to change. Keegan had just taken off his coat when his phone rang. It was
Trevor. 'He's definitely calling to talk about the incident.'
As Keegan expected, Trevor questioned him as soon as he answered the phone. "I allowed Stella to stay with you,
and this is how you take care of her? I should’ve gotten her out of there from the start!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan put his phone on the table and went to pour himself a glass of water. He did not listen to a single word of
Trevor's subsequent complaints and accusations since he already knew what he would say. Trevor no longer held
back ever since Keegan found out about Stella's identity. He had been acting strange the past few days, sending
pictures of Stella being intimate with her photo shoot partners to Keegan in the late nights.
Keegan had a good idea of what his childhood friend,
Trevor, was trying to do. 'He's clearly trying to make me mad and use it as an excuse to get Stella out of here.
Stella had always been one to put family first. She'll probably follow Trevor's unreasonable request of breaking
things off with me once she meets the family. So, I can't retaliate right now, no matter how harsh Trevor's words
can be. The mall incident happened under my watch. There's no way he'll let me go easily without giving me a
scolding.'
Seeing that there was no response from Keegan, Trevor's face darkened as he said, "I asked you a question,
Keegan! Why isn't Stella answering my calls? Did you ask her not to pick up the phone?"
Keegan put his glass down and nicely said, "What are you talking about, my dear brother-in-law? I wouldn't dream
of doing such a thing. You know I want to remarry her."
Trevor was so used to being called "brother-in-law" by Keegan these days that he didn't even bother to correct him.
"Then why isn't she answering my calls? Where is she?"
"She's upstairs, changing. We just got home."
"How bad is the injury? Is it serious?"
"It's pretty bad," said Keegan.
Trevor's tone changed once he heard that. "How so? Did she suffer from an internal injury, or are her looks
affected?"
"None of those," Keegan said slowly.

"Then what's the matter? Tell me!" Trevor was getting so anxious that he felt like rushing to Keegan's place as soon
as possible. The only person to whom Stella had responded after the incident was Kaiden. Trevor would not have
contacted Keegan if not for how he could not get ahold of his sister. 'Can he just tell me already?!'
"The cut's pretty small and not that deep, so she didn't need any fancy surgery. She did cry earlier because she was
in pain, but don't worry; I comforted her all the way home."
Why, this little mutt... I can't believe he's trying to show off in front of me right now!'
"There's no way she cried from an injury. She didn't even shed a tear when you bowed in front of so many people at
Rainee's funeral. I bet she cried because she was angry at herself for falling for a man like you. Maybe she was
thinking how useless her ex-husband is after Marshall came to her rescue and protected her," Trevor gritted his
teeth and sneered.
Keegan was baffled by his words. His face darkened as he tried to hold himself back, but he finally could not. "Stella
wouldn’t be hurt if he actually protected her!"
