Chapter 1704
The edge of Vermont's mouth twitched, as a big "fuck" echoed in his mind. Then, he grumbled, 'Pay what back? The
dividend you took from me is enough for you to buy a mansion!"
He paused for a moment before he added, "So, is Stella the only person that you can't remember? Did some witch
cast a love-extinguishing spell on you when you fell in the water?" i
Keegan remained expressionless. "If you're only here to say this nonsense, please get lost."
Vermont gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath," What a brainless and ungrateful asshole."
As he was about to walk away after speaking, Keegan suddenly called out to him. "Wait."
Vermont stopped, and he wore an expression that screamed, "You better apologize to me."
However, he heard Keegan saying, "When you leave, take away those flower wreaths at the door. They're annoying
me. r»
At that moment, Vermont felt as though he should dunk him back into the water.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe turned around, chuckled in a feminine way, and said," Sure, Keegan."
Keegan was speechless.
Then, Vermont took those flower wreaths with him and left.
The living room was not empty, as there were a few cleaners tidying up the rooms. Keegan looked at the pot of
Anthurium Arrow at the door, and he lowered his gaze. It was as though he was thinking about something.
Jaylene bent down and placed a blanket over Keegan's legs. "Keegan," she called out to him.
Keegan snapped out of his thoughts and pulled up the blanket, as he gently said, "Jaylene, thank you for helping me
today. I'll have the driver take you home now."
Jaylene lowered her gaze and whispered, "I don't feel like going back tonight."
Keegan was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
Jaylene remained silent.
It did not take very long for Keegan to realize what Jaylene was thinking about. "Are you worried that Uncle
Wenham would blame you for what's happening?"
Jaylene shook her head. "You're safe now, and that's all that matters. I don't care if he scolds me again. I'm just
worried about you. If I knew that you would tear the wound again after coming back, I would've never agreed to let
you leave the hospital."
Then, she complained, "Stella should know her place." 1
Keegan pursed his lips, and his eyes looked somewhat confused. After a long pause, he said, "I just... don't know
why. I feel a bit resistant to her touch."
Jaylene froze for a moment before she said gently, "You don't remember her, and she's just a stranger to you now.
It's perfectly normal that you feel that way." 1
"Is that so..."
Keegan looked a little dazed, and his gaze turned somewhat vacant.
Then, he heard the faint sound of a wind chime. Keegan snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Baldwin
speaking to him. "Mr. Kane, Mrs. Kane Sr. wants to see you upstairs." i
"Sure. Baldwin, please arrange for someone to drive Jaylene home," Keegan said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBaldwin nodded and then said to Jaylene, Ms. Saun, please come with me."
Jaylene was taken aback. She initially thought that Cordelia would want to speak to her as well, and that was also
the reason why she did not want to leave.
Although they were not dating, Jaylene figured that Cordelia would want to give her some credit for saving Keegan's
life.
However, Cordelia did not ask to see her at all. 'There are probably too many things going on today. That's why Mrs.
Kane Sr. didn't think of me,' she said to herself. 2
Jaylene could only suppress her doubts and said softly," Keegan, don't forget to take your medicine. I'll drop by
again tomorrow."
Stella and Marshall did not speak at all since they came out of the house.
When they reached the yard outside, Felicity called out to Stella while standing by the cab. Stella stopped walking
and apologized to Marshall. "Mr. Moore, I'm sorry, but I called a cab."
Marshall smiled. "Actually, I didn't drive here either. Would it be possible for me to hitch a ride with you guys?"
His response left Stella utterly speechless.
