Chapter 2041
Jaylene was delighted, thinking she had guessed it right.
[Stella usually doesn’t talk much. Keegan, why would you want to catch a break from her? Did you two
get into a fight?]
Stella was getting better at imitating how Keegan texted as she replied: [ She and Aurora don't get
along. They'd start arguing as soon as they see each other. It's just too noisy at home.]
The explanation was perfect and conveniently matched what Aurora had previously fed to Jaylene.
Jaylene consoled: [Stella does have a bit of a temper. Mom and Dad would always ask US to tolerate
her whenever we can.]
Then, Stella stopped texting back again.
After not getting a reply for a long time, Jaylene felt anxious and decided to call.
Stella did not answer the call. Instead, she hung up and messaged her: [ The line here is very bad. Text
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme if there's anything.]
Jaylene had no choice but to continue typing: [Keegan, how have you been recovering lately? Stella
has been staying with you for some time now.
Have you remembered anything?]
Stella replied: [Nothing's changed.]
Jaylene probed: [Keegan, since you still can't remember anything after staying with Stella for so long,
haven't you considered asking her to move out? I mean, you two aren't married yet. People might say
things if she stays with you.
[Besides, she can't get along well with Aurora, too. Their constant quarreling might strain the
relationship between our families over time.]
Stella smirked, thinking Jaylene's plan to drive her away from Keegan was good.
Then, she texted: [Let's talk about this some other time. Stella would complain to Grandma whenever I
suggested she leave. I can't stand it at all. She does nothing all day and doesn't find any work to do.
She's already an adult, yet she can't think independently at all. It's just irritating to see her.
]
Jaylene was taken aback and did not respond for a while.
Stella felt nervous, wondering if Jaylene had noticed anything amiss.
'Keegan would probably not say something like that, huh? It sounds too much like a gossip,' Stella
thought to herself.
Jaylene's text came through as she contemplated how to make herself sound more convincing.
[Keegan, do you like girls who have a career?]
Stella was speechless. It turned out Jaylene was just taking her time to come up with a reply to praise
herself.
Stella did not answer the question directly: [I just think that a girl should at least have a job.]
Jaylene suddenly realized that Keegan only started liking Stella after their divorce. That was when she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstarted building her career.
During that time, Stella spent a lot of time and effort in her acting career, and Keegan seemed to be
very into her.
'I see. Keegan likes this type of girl,' Jaylene thought to herself.
Jaylene texted again: [Keegan, I'm working at Caline now. You can come over if you have time. I'll
customize a relaxing perfume for you to ease your stress.]
Stella smiled mischievously, thinking that the fish had taken the bait.
"Who are you texting?" After washing his hands, Keegan sat next to Stella and asked.
"Jaylene Saun."
Keegan took his phone, quickly scanned the messages, and looked at her." Are you flirting with her?”
"Am I?" Stella blinked. "I'm just speaking normally. I can't control how she interprets my messages."
Then, she grabbed Keegan's arm and added, "Let's say goodbye to Greatgrandpa and head back to
Rivera."
