Chapter 1702

Vermont was surprised. “Did he really get Jaylene to help him?”

Marshall kept quiet, but the look on his face told Vermont the answer.

Vermont did not believe that Keegan had lost his memories as well. Much like Stella, he believed that Keegan had probably read the rumors online about Stella and Marshall and got angry. Vermont figured that it was probably the reason why Keegan pretended to have lost his memories and that it allowed him to vent his anger.

He turned to Marshall and thought that he should address the issue at its roots.

He said, “Marshall, I won’t dwell on what happened before. When everyone thought that Keegan was gone, it was understandable that you couldn’t control your emotions. But, now that he’s back, you should really start restraining yourself. We’re such good friends. It won’t be worth it to ruin what we have because of a woman.”

Marshall looked nonchalant, as he gazed at the steaming teacup in front of him for a long time before he said, “I won’t make any move unless there’s absolutely no chance of them getting back together.”

“You shouldn’t have feelings for Stella whether they’re together or not. Even if they break up, and you get together with Stella, won’t you find it awkward to face Keegan in the future?”

Vermont gave Marshall his earnest advice. He really did not want their years of friendship to end because the two of them fell for the same woman.

“If you’re into gorgeous women like Stella, I’ll find one for you. With what you have to offer, there are many other women more beautiful and outstanding than Stella waiting for you. You won’t be so obsessed with her anymore once you’ve met them.”

Marshall lowered his gaze. “There are many women more beautiful and outstanding than Ms.

Thompson too. So, why did you choose her?”

“Because she’s the one I like.” Vermont could not stop talking once Marshall brought up Felicity. “Being with her makes me feel happy every day. I don’t feel bored even if we do nothing all day. It feels like my life is suddenly filled with joy and anticipation. Except for money, she’s the only thing in this world that can make me happy.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“I feel the same way,” Marshall said softly. “I feel sad when I can’t see her, and I feel happy when I can.

Just a simple greeting from her would add vibrant colors to my otherwise mundane world.”

Vermont was about to say something when he lifted his head and saw Keegan coming to the living room with Jaylene pushing him from behind.

The entire living room was filled with a strange silence.

Vermont suddenly wanted to rewind time a few minutes back and slap himself. ‘Why did I even say that?’

He immediately stood up and said, “Have you changed your dressings?”

Keegan did not respond to Vermont. Instead, he looked at Marshall and said, “She also told me that she only created those rumors with you to force me to come back.” He continued with a faint smile, “But, you had other intentions, didn’t you?”

Marshall pursed his lips without saying anything.

The atmosphere became strangely eerie. Then, Vermont cleared his throat and said, “Marshall spent a lot of effort searching for you after you went missing. Just like everyone else, he hopes to find you as soon as possible.”

Keegan did not seem to care about Marshall’s answer, as he rolled his wheelchair forward. “I’ve told her everything. Once my body recovers, we’ll break off the engagement. By then, you can do whatever you want with her.”

Marshall paused, and his face darkened. “Stella risked her life to save you, and you’re going to break off the engagement with her after coming back? Have you considered her feelings? Keegan, are you out of your mind?”

Keegan flatly said, “I don’t remember her. I won’t have any feelings for her no matter how good she is.

I’m not going to marry a woman I don’t like.”

Marshall was irritated. “Just because you can’t remember her, it doesn’t mean that you can hurt her.”

He pointed at Jaylene and continued, “Are you in such a hurry to get rid of Stella because you want to marry her instead?”

“Marshall, Keegan and I…”

Jaylene was about to explain herself, but Keegan cut her off. “So what if it is? Don’t you like Stella?

Shouldn’t you be happy that I’m breaking off the engagement with her? She could’ve been with so many other people if she just wanted to force me to show up, but why you? I know that both of you have feelings for each other. And, it would be impolite of me if I don’t take the initiative to step out now.”

Marshall’s expression turned ugly. “You asshole. How could you say something like that?”

Vermont was about to intervene and calm the two down. But, when he lifted his head, he saw Stella standing at the door.
