Chapter 1792
With the thought of Darcie caring for her late mother, Wenham’s expression softened. "I've bought two tickets for
the theater. Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"
Darcie couldn't help but feel surprised. Throughout their lengthy marriage, it had consistently been her
responsibility to arrange their outings. Wenham rarely took the initiative, and when he did, it was usually in
response to invitations from friends.
Her raised eyebrows turned into a warm smile as she asked, "Sure. What time is the show?"
"Three o'clock. I'll pick you up tomorrow," Wenham replied.
Darcie nodded in agreement. As Wenham ate his soup, he addressed the unspoken tension between them. "I've
raised Jaylene for twenty years, treating her as my own. Being separated from Stella for over two decades and only

With a calm tone, Darcie responded, "I understand. You don't need to explain. I know I was in the wrong before. It's
only natural that you're upset. Trevor was only ten years old when I came into the picture. Kids are easy to get
along with; you can tell what they like and dislike with a glance. Stella returned when she was already an adult, and
young adults often conceal their feelings. I just don't know how to relate to her. Also, she harbors resentment with
what
happened between Jaylene and Keegan. I'm afraid that saying too much might annoy her."
Wenham fell silent for a moment before saying, "Stella is not an unreasonable child. Treat her with kindness, and
she'll reciprocate even more. She understands the value of gratitude and is swift to disapprove of injustice, much
like Freesia." 1
Darcie clutched her fingers, lowered her eyes, and said, "I understand."
Then, she brought up the matter of Stella living in Royalpark Villa. Darcie thought it was inappropriate for them to
live together without being married. Nevertheless, it was common knowledge that Keegan had no recollection of
Stella, making marriage an impractical prospect.
"Keegan is indebted to Stella for life. She's there to assist him in recovering his memories. Mrs. Kane Sr. had
explained it to me. Since Stella is willing, we should go along with it,’ said Wenham.
Darcie thought about it and said, "Alright."
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed as valuable decorations on the table, worth tens of thousands, were thrown to the
ground. When Darcie pushed the door open, she witnessed the scene.
Jaylene had swept everything off her table with reddened eyes. Her face twisted in an ugly expression.
Closing the door behind her, Darcie asked in disdain, "Why are you acting like this?"
Jaylene clenched her fists, lowered her gaze, and said," Mom."

Darcie calmly picked up the scattered items and placed them back on the coffee table. "They're just living together.
Is it worth losing your temper over?"
"Keegan is spending less and less time with me. I'm afraid he might regain his memories," Jaylene said in a hoarse
voice. 1
Darcie looked at her disappointedly. "He has always liked Stella. Even if he doesn't remember now, it's just a matter
of time before he does. Given Keegan's temperament, do you think he would like you? Would he truly marry you?"
Jaylene bit her lip upon hearing that. She disagreed with Darcie's words.
Since Keegan woke up, he strongly depended on her, even rebuking Stella to protect her. She believed that there
was a possibility between them.
To her, Stella was just good-looking. Meanwhile, she had over twenty years of knowledge, education, and vision.
Jaylene considered herself superior in every aspect. She did not believe Keegan would be attracted to Stella if he
did not remember her. 2
