Stella chuckled, "This necklace is so heavy; I doubt flushing it down the toilet would work."
Keegan gritted his teeth and said, "How could you say that? You deliberately put it on the bedside to make me uncomfortable,
right?"
Stella nodded unapologetically and replied with a smile, "I just wanted to see how long you could pretend."
Keegan was at a loss for words.
Feigning anger, he said, "You have no sense of boundaries! How many times have you received gifts from him?"
"Not many. Just a necklace and a talisman."
Keegan's fake irritation turned into genuine annoyance. "What about the phone he gave you?"
Stella chuckled nervously upon hearing that. "It's been too long; I forgot." Then she justified herself. "Besides, it's not like I
accepted it for free. I gave him a tie in return. It cost me 6999 dollars. When I think about it, it feels like a loss. That phone wasn't
worth that much either."

Keegan had a deadpan face at that point. "It cost you 7098; you missed ninety-nine dollars."
Stella was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the socks and burst into laughter. "How long are you going to remember
those 99-dollar socks?"
"I'll remember them for the rest of my life!" Keegan exclaimed.

He turned to glare at Stella and continued, "Have you secretly accepted anything else from him?"
"No, I haven-" Stella stopped mid-sentence and said, "Before Thanksgiving, Marshall sent some egg tarts to my place."
Keegan's face turned green. "And you accepted it?"
"Before that, he sent me two boxes of egg tarts from Royle's. Felicity liked them a lot, so I accepted them," Stella laughed dryly.
She suddenly remembered the two rabbit keychains that came with the pastry gift box. Felicity took one, and Stella hung the
other on her bag.
After the kidnapping case, the police asked her to retrieve personal items, but the rabbit keychain on her bag was gone. The
police claimed they did not see it, but she had securely fastened it herself.
Stella was afraid of losing it, so she even added a sturdy iron ring.
'Where could it have gone?' she thought.
Originally, Stella did not give much thought to the keychain. However, amid the argument with Keegan, she recalled that not only

was the charm a present from the egg tart gift box, but it was also a present from Marshall.
Earlier, she suspected that the kidnapping might have been related to Marshall. Now, the missing item happened to be
something he gave her.
'Could there be a connection between them?'
As Stella was in thought, someone lightly bit her earlobe.

She turned her head back and said, "Are you a dog? Why are you biting me?"
"You haven't finished speaking yet." Keegan glared at her and said, "What else did he give you besides the egg tarts?"
"Nothing. Just those two boxes of egg tarts. You're aware of everything else. Besides, am I the type to accept things from others
without reason? I reciprocated all his gifts except for this talisman. I wouldn't have taken it if
it weren't for you getting it wet."
Keegan pursed his lips, not wanting to admit that he had done something stupid.
"Give it to me, and I'll return it to him."
Stella glanced at him and said, "Even if you decide to destroy it, I'll still have to repay the favor. So, when I present him with
something later, don't cry about it."
Keegan closed his mouth, his face tense.
"Alright, alright." Stella shook his arm and coaxed him gently, "I'll return it to him and make it impossible for him to refuse."
Keegan remained silent for a while. He held the necklace in his fist and put it in his pocket. "I'm keeping this."
Stella knew it was a compromise. However, she clicked her tongue and said, ‘At least return the photo to me. I haven't had
enough of twenty-year- old Keegan yet.".
