Chapter 150
As soon as the car door was opened, Keegan went in too. He even sat in the front passenger
seat.
Stella did not like it. She frowned as she said, “Why did you get in?”
Keegan put on the seatbelt. Then, he petulantly said, “If you can go with him., why can’t I?” Vermont was afraid that they would
argue again. So, he defended Keegan, “Keegan is going help me to look for girls. He has experience in looking for a wife.”
Stella was speechless.
‘He has that experience, my ass. But he had many two-timing experiences, though!”
But Stella wanted to earn money. So, she just put her unhappiness aside and drove them to that singles party.
Stella was asked to join this party out of a sudden. So, her outfit looked overly simply compared to the girls who dressed up very
beautifully.
She was in a ponytail, wearing a white tee shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of canvas shoes. She looked out of place beside the two
men in suits and ties.
Before they went into the venue, Vermont said to them, “I’ll go in separately from you two. After I go in, you guys find a seat
nearby and observe me. If the girl I talk to is my type, I’ll do an ‘okay’ sign. You two can then leave me alone. If I do a ‘v’ sign, I’ll
need Stella to come and help me out.”
Stella did the ‘okay’ sign, “Okay.”
Vermont entered the party very quickly. Only Stella and Keegan were still in the car.
Stella turned the music on and looked down to use her phone. She just ignored the person next to her.
“Grandma sent me a text message just now. She told me that you gifted her a box of oysters.” His tone was deep. He sounded a
little angry too.
Stella was still sulking. She did not pay attention to his tone. Instead, she said superficially, ” My dad gave me two boxes.”
‘She gave one box to grandma and another box to Vermont. But she didn’t give it to me.’
Keegan was unhappy.
It was just a box of oysters. He could have easily gotten it, but it still bothered him.
‘She’d immediately give it to me when she thought something was good back then. But now, even Vermont could get a gift from
her!’
“Don’t blindly spend effort in the wrong places. Vermont doesn’t like this thing.”
After he muffled that, he felt that what he said did not sound right. It sounded like he was blaming her, but he wanted to say that
Vermont could not tell what was good or bad. It would be a waste to give him the oysters.
But before he could add to what he said, Stella lifted the corners of her lips, “Mr. Kane, thank you for reminding me of that. I’m
not an ignorant person. I gifted him that because I wanted to thank him for helping me. It’s Mr. Snyder’s business whether he
likes that or not. It’s fine if he throws that away.”
But Stella could not be blamed for misunderstanding Keegan. He had a history of blaming her. On Keegan’s birthday, during the
first year Stella and Keegan got married, some friends came over to visit him. Stella was very nervous and took it seriously when
she first met Keegan’s friends. She helped the maid to make a table full of dishes to treat them.
Although Stella’s cooking was average, her pastry was very delicious. She was full of praise. After that, Stella made many
pastries. Then, she packed them and gave them to the people who came.
When Keegan knew about that, he was furious with Stella.
He probably felt that she was toadying his friends. Or he might simply hate her for trying to be close to his friends without telling
him.
After that incident, Keegan rarely brought her to join this gathering. He probably disliked her for being less graceful and
unpresentable.
But what Keegan did not know was she did not gift his friends because she wanted to fit in. Instead, she just wanted to know
more about his likings from his friends. She wanted to become a person that he liked.
But it turned out that if someone disliked you, they would nitpick about what you did even if you did it well.
Keegan was a little angry, ‘She rather gave the thing to Vermont for him to throw it away than give it to me.’
“Are you angry with me?”
