Chapter 1701
Stella softly said, "He doesn't remember me." "Huh? Is he serious? Even the scripts I write aren't this cliche. This
can't be true."
Felicity was in disbelief.
Stella did not want to believe it either. However, Keegan did not look like he was pretending at all back in the study.
Even if it was a part of Jaylene's scheme and he had no choice but to play along, he could have given her some hint
when they were alone in the study earlier.
But, he did not. Keegan seemed like he genuinely could not remember her, showing only indifference and coldness
toward her.
It was true that Keegan was back, but it was not the same Keegan she was expecting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan's return added another layer of suspicion to the already unclear situation. She needed time to calmly think
about it and sort things out.
"He'd know that I hate Jaylene if he remembers me. Why would he still call her over in my face?"
Felicity paused, as she thought to herself. 'It's true. Given how madly in love he was with Stella, he would never do
something like that.'
"Come on," Stella said softly. "Let's talk about it when we're home."
So, Felicity had no choice but to stop asking her more questions.
Vermont was very eager to prove himself to Felicity after lying to her back then, so he took the initiative and
offered," I'll take you guys back.”
Felicity wanted to tell him to keep his fake kindness to himself, but on second thought, she realized that Vermont
and Keegan were as close as brothers.
If Keegan was really pretending, Felicity figured that Vermont would have definitely known something about it. So,
she changed her mind and said, "Well just take a cab ourselves. You should stay here and take care of Keegan.
Aren't you good friends with him? Spend some time with him." After a short pause, she continued, "I'm cooking
tonight. Come to 901 if you can come back in time. If you can't, forget it."
Vermont's disappointed eyes, which thought he was getting rejected, immediately lit up. "Do you want me to buy
some ingredients?"
Felicity scoffed. "I'd rather not. You always prioritize price over freshness when it comes to buying ingredients.
You're only going to make my food taste worse."
Vermont scratched his head in embarrassment, as he quickly tried to flatter her. "Won't that only show how your
cooking skills can compensate for the lack of freshness in the ingredients?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Go on, now. If you come back late, there won't be any food left for you!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVermont chuckled and said in a low voice, "You won't do that to me."
Felicity then kicked him away.
Stella ordered a cab. When it was about to arrive, she touched her pocket and realized that her gloves were
missing.
She had probably left it in the study when she spoke to Keegan earlier.
She turned to Felicity and said, "Felicity, ask the driver to wait for a moment when the car is here. I left my gloves
back there. I'll go get them."
"Sure." Felicity nodded.
Stella wrapped her coat tightly around her and quickly turned back.
When Vermont went back to the house, there was only Marshall sitting on the couch. The decorations from the
memorial service had been taken down, and there were only two wreaths that had not been removed. They had
the words "In Our Thoughts and Prayers" on them.
Vermont did not like seeing them, so he tore them off. He then walked up to Marshall and asked, "Where's Keegan?"
"He's getting his dressing changed," Marshall replied.
