Just as the cashier took the card, a message popped up on the computer screen. The cashier smiled
and said, "The bill for table 12 has already been paid for."
The two were stunned and looked at Stella.
Meanwhile, Stella had a dumbfounded look.
’Let's go," Felicity hollered. She continued, "The bill has already been paid."
Then, she returned Vermont's wallet back to him. She patted him on the chest and said, "Vermont is
generous."
Vermont twitched his eyes.
However, he felt much better after hearing Felicity call him "Vermont".
After they left the restaurant, Stella apologized to Marshall in a low voice.
"Mr. Moore, I'm so sorry about just now."
Marshall smiled and said, "You weren't the one who shoved me, so you shouldn't be the one
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtapologizing. Stella, you're just you now. You're not someone's appendage."
Stella was momentarily startled. The word ’appendage" made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
'An appendage... I've always been an appendage of Keegan in other people's eyes. Now that I've lost
my status and the identity of my biological father is unknown, I'll appear even more like Keegan's
appendage if I stand next to him,' she thought.
She lowered her gaze and grunted in agreement. Then, she did not speak.
At that moment, Marshall's phone rang.
"I'm going to take a call,” he said. Then, he walked aside with his phone.
Keegan went up to her and grabbed her hand. He said, "I'll drive you home."
Stella retracted her hand. "I can take Mr. Snyder's car. My house is on the way." "He's not going home,"
Keegan said. He then asked Vermont, "Right?"
Vermont played along and answered, "I need to go to the office. Stella, why don't you let Keegan drive
you home?" "Then, I'll take a cab."
Keegan looked at her, and he suddenly softened his tone. "Are you angry because I got physical just
now? To be honest, I didn’t use much strength. Who would've thought that he was this fragile?’
Stella's eyebrows twitched.
'Who are you to speak when you shoved him? Mr. Moore doesn't have health issues, yet you're either
racing horses with him or getting physical and shoving him. If something happens to him, you won't
even know what happened when you're behind bars!"
Initially, Keegan felt displeased. However, he suddenly asked after hearing her last sentence.
’You're worried about me?"
Stella dropped her expression.
’You're overthinking. I'm just worried I'll get dragged into it," she said.
However, Keegan saw her gaze avoiding him. He could not help but smile.
He said in a low voice, 'TH listen to you next time. I won't get physical with him anymore."
Stella felt a little uncomfortable.
’It's your own business; don't link it with me."
Keegan was really pleased.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Does this mean I've managed to pursue you?" he asked in a low voice.
Stella twitched the corner of her lips. "You haven't even started pursuing me. Do you think I'm that easy
to pursue?"
However, she immediately understood the situation when she saw the smile in Keegan's eyes.
‘This bastard tricked me!' she thought.
Then, she glared at him unhappily. "You want to pursue me? Let's talk after you scored a hundred
points!"
Keegan asked her, "Then, how many points do I have now?
Stella glanced at him and answered, "Negative ten thousand points, I guess."
Keegan was speechless.
'May I ask... what the scoring criteria are?"
Stella said, ’It depends on my mood."
Keegan frowned.
’That isn't appropriate, right? What if you're purposely stopping me and not letting me add points?"
'Then, you can stop pursuing me.’ Stella continued earnestly, "Why make things difficult for yourself?"
Keegan stared at her for a few seconds. Suddenly, he smiled and said in a warm tone, "I like to
challenge myself with the nightmare mode. You'll need to keep your word and be with me when I get
100 points." ’Hah.’ Stella said, "Let's talk again after the figure turns positive."
