Chapter 109

Then, Stella let go of her hands. “It’s done. Mr. Kane, please check if I made your money worth it now.”

Keegan turned around and looked into the mirror before he said, “I guess.”

Stella curled her lips. Then, she wore her shoes and went out while carrying her little handbag.

She saw a Mercedes–Benz parked right outside as soon as she left the house. Cordelia’s personal driver, Baldwin Clint was standing right beside it. He greeted Stella politely when he saw her. “Good morning, Mrs. Kane. Madam told me to pick you up.”

Stella could not stand it after listening to how courteous a fifty–year–old man talked to her. So, she quickly said, “Thank you, Baldwin.”

Baldwin made a U–turn after Stella got in the car, but he did not drive away.

Stella was about to ask him what he was waiting for, but she saw Keegan walking toward the car. Then, he opened the door and got inside too.

Stella immediately frowned. “Why don’t you drive your own car? We’re not going to pass by your office while going to grandma’s place.”

“Who told you I was going to the office?” Keegan swept his glance across her before turning around and said to Baldwin, “Baldwin, let’s go.”

Stella was stunned.

‘I would’ve said no to grandma if I knew he was coming!

‘Damn it!‘

Then, she moved closer to the window and tried to stay as far as she could from Keegan.

Keegan acted like he did not care at all, as he started texting someone on his phone while he lowered his head.

Stella secretly peeked at him. However, Keegan noticed it. He raised his phone higher, so Stella could not see who he was texting.

‘What a scum!

‘Who cares about who you’re texting?!”

Marshall’s phone suddenly rang when he was doing some research in his study room.

He accepted the call after seeing that his mother wanted to video call him. Then, he put his phone on the desk as he continued to work while he asked, “Hey, mom. Can I help you?‘

“Marshall, what do you think of this dress?”

Marshall swept his glance across the screen and offhandedly said, “Not bad. It matches very well.”

Ariel got mad. “Are you just trying to brush me off like your dad? Did you even look at the screen?‘

you Ariel was a very easygoing person, but she could be very difficult to handle when she got mad for real.

So, Marshall moved his gaze back to the screen again. “I’m looking right at it.”

Ariel had a very pretty dress on as she turned around in front of her camera. “How do I look?” she asked.

Ariel was a very beautiful woman when she was younger. However, she got ill in her forties, and she became a little chubbier after she recovered. Even though she looked more elegant compared to before, she could not be as confident as she used to when it came to her outfit. She would only buy dresses that were loose and had complicated designs to hide her size.

However, the dress she was wearing had a very distinct difference from what she would normally wear.

It was a silky plain dark green knee–length dress. Ariel paired the dress with a black belt, and it made her look very energetic and youthful.

Ariel was clearly very satisfied with the dress judging by how happy she looked.

“It’s beautiful,” Marshall complimented Ariel truthfully. “It looks similar to what you wore in your wedding pictures.”

Ariel knew that her son was buttering her up on purpose, but she was still very happy. Then, she turned around and said to her husband, “Did you hear that? Your son has better taste than you.”

Wallace turned his back on her and stayed out of the discussion.

Then, Marshall said, “You would return everything you bought previously. Why did you suddenly change your style?”

“Keegan bought this for me.”

Marshall paused. “Keegan?”

“Yeah,” Ariel said happily, “He said it’s a birthday present. I told him that my birthday is more than two months away, but he said that he saw this dress when he was on a business trip, and he thought that it’d look really good on me. So, he bought it for me to try it.”
