Chapter 1278
Keegan was not happy. "Why should I leave just because he's here?" he asked.
"Don't act all indignant! You know how close he and my brother are. Trevor's going to know you're living here the
moment Marshall shows up. He already doesn’t like you, and Wenham isn't fond of you either. The Hall family
despises you even more. This is your chance to make a good impression. So show some restraint and know your
boundaries, okay?" Stella explained.
Keegan's face looked tense as he said, "Marshall came without prior notice; why aren't you accusing him of not
knowing boundaries?"
Stella was puzzled by Keegan's logic. "It's not like he's the one I'm with."
That response seemed to ease the tension.
However, Keegan still was not keen on leaving. "We should just go public if he tells Trevor."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella shot him a sideways glance and said, "While I don't want to discourage you, I have to remind you that you're
on my family's blacklist. When I mentioned your name during our reunion, it was met with silence. Plus, Trevor
texted me yesterday, asking about my type in men, and claimed he had many quality options for me to choose
from. He even said that none are less superior than you. Do you realize how
much they dislike you? I haven't even gotten fully acquainted with my family yet, and you want me to introduce you
to them? I don't think it's respectful to do that. n
Keegan looked at her with a sad expression and did not say a thing. Stella pushed him toward the room while
reassuring him, "I'll introduce you to the family once I get to know them better and everyone is prepared.
Remember to behave and not cause any trouble. I won't cut ties with my family for you. It
Keegan remained silent. 'What kind of crappy consolation is this?!' he thought. He then finally got ready under
Stella's urging. After putting on his suit, he immediately turned into the unapproachable Mr. Kane.
When Stella was helping him adjust his collar, she suddenly tugged on his tie and planted a kiss on his chin. "It's a
pity I've never seen you in your college days. If I had, I would've definitely pursued you," she murmured.
Keegan glanced at her and said, "You were only 13 when I was a freshman, and when I became a senior, you had
only turned 17. Do you want me to get arrested or something?"
Stella could not help but laugh, "You're so unromantic. Now hurry up and go."
As they were about to open the door, the elevator chimed, and Marshall walked out.
Stella was shocked. 'Didn't I tell him to wait a bit before coming up? Ugh.'
She immediately stopped pushing Keegan and said, "Oh. Did you two come together?"
Keegan and Marshall seemed surprised to hearthat.
Marshal strolled over with a handful of things and asked." Keegan, when did you get here?"
Keegan pursed his lips and reluctantly responded, "Just now. If
Marshall glanced at Keegan's empty hands and handed him a fruit basket he was carrying.
Keegan glanced at the basket but did not take it.

how it was impolite of you to only bow at Ms. Spade's funeral."
Keegan and Stella could not believe that Marshall had just said that.
Stella found Marshall's commentary to be mean, but Keegan's expression was just too comical. She bit her lip to
stifle her laughter, determined not to burst out laughing.
Then, she indifferently said, "Come in."
When the two men entered, Marshall put on the house slippers Stella had just bought for Keegan, and Keegan stood
behind him with a dark expression.
Stella noticed what was going on and walked over. She grabbed another pair of house slippers from the shoe rack
and handed them to Keegan as she said, "You're the most generous person I know!"
Hearing that, Keegan suppressed his anger and put on the slippers.
Upon entering the apartment, Marshall noticed that the room was neat and tidy. The flowers on the table seemed
freshly watered, with a misty layer of vapor on their petals. There was a book on the couch; its pages looked fluffy,
suggesting it had been read frequently. Two cups were placed on the coffee table, each with only a small amount of
water left, indicating that someone had been drinking from them.
Marshall continued to observe the place when Stella asked," So, what would you two like to drink?"
