Chapter 1986

Stella fought back her laughter, carefully avoiding Jaylene's gaze to maintain her composure. She

found herself torn between amusement at Keegan's straightforwardness and bemusement at Jaylene's

naivety.

Having been a frequent visitor to the Kane residence, Stella was well aware of Keegan's deep affection

for Coco. A wiser approach for Jaylene would have been to endear herself to Coco, as winning the

child's heart was as crucial as winning over Keegan and his family. Competing with a child was, in

Stella's eyes, a futile effort.

Stella eyed Jaylene's carefully chosen attire, deducing her preference for Joplonese cuisine. Jaylene's

self-consciousness was apparent. She always strived to present her best self to Keegan. Yet, Stella

knew that perfection was not the key to a lasting relationship. It was about embracing each other’s

strengths and accepting their weaknesses.

Keegan, who is experienced in dealing with various personalities, would likely be unimpressed with

insincerity.

Meanwhile, Spencer was attentive, especially to Coco. He skillfully sliced the tender cuts of meat for

her and Stella, serving himself and Keegan last. Keegan, usually reserved, was surprisingly engaged in

business discussions with Spencer, creating a congenial atmosphere, much to Jaylene's chagrin.

Jaylene had intended to stir jealousy in Keegan’s heart by inviting Stella and Spencer, but Spencer's

flawless manners thwarted her plans.

After a moment, Jaylene put down her utensils and remarked, "Mr. Graham, your care for others is

admirable, particularly in how you select the finest cuts for Stella."

Continuing to slice the meat, Spencer replied casually, "I was taught to always prioritize women. Mr.

Kane also seems to hold this value, as evident in his thoughtful order of Joplonese cuisine for you. It's

fundamental etiquette, isn't it, Ms. Saun?" 1

Jaylene, caught off guard, managed a strained smile, 'This man is quite blunt with his words.'

Attempting to regain control, Jaylene said with a forced smile, "I was wondering if your attentiveness

toward Stella stemmed from lingering feelings."

Spencer glanced at Stella, a playful glint in his eyes, "Oh, the feelings are there, but sadly

unreciprocated. I'm always ready to whisk her away, but she's fixated on her amnesiac ex. I'm just

biding my time, waiting for her to grow tired of him or for him to let her go. So, I stay prepared."

Keegan's irritation was evident, faced with Spencer's public flirtation with Stella. Bound by his amnesiac

persona, he remained silent.

Caught off guard, Stella nearly choked on her drink. She shot Spencer a sharp glare, "If you can't

speak sensibly, you better stay quiet!"

Spencer clicked his tongue in response, "Tough crowd. You should appreciate having a high-caliber

backup like me."

Jaylene observed with satisfaction. Keegan's shifting focus seemed to confirm her belief that his

feelings for Stella had faded.

Noticing Stella's sullen expression, she felt even more confident in her speculation. She watched as

Stella, in a bold move, called out to the waiter, 'Two bottles of white liquor, please!"

Keegan's frown deepened, his eyes filled with questions as he looked at Stella.

Ignoring his gaze, Stella turned toward Jaylene, offering him a look that hinted at an unspoken strategy.

Keegan, still silent, watched the unfolding scene, his thoughts unreadable.
