“Uh-huh,” Keegan casually responded.
Penn lowered his voice and said, “I’ll talk to him.”
When he hung up, Spencer’s phone buzzed. Rather than answering immediately, Spencer glanced at Keegan and inquired, “Do you find this amusing, Mr. Kane?”
Keegan looked at him indifferently and said, “It’s alright.”
Before Spencer could react, a young man called out to him.” Spencer, your dad called me. He’s on the line right now.”
Spencer was expressionless. “Just hang up,” he said.
When his friend opened his mouth to speak, Penn’s voice came through the phone. “Who are you trying to hang up on, you rebellious child?”
Spencer did not reply. His face tensed, as he took the call. The others could not hear what Penn said, but they witnessed Spencer’s face turn sour.
Seeing that he ended the call, Keegan muttered, “Be a good boy and listen to daddy. Now, apologize.”
“Pfft-” Spencer’s friend tried to hold back his laughter. It sounded like Keegan was calling himself “daddy”, even though it was obvious that he meant Penn.
Stella pulled Keegan back and whispered, “Forget it. His grip didn’t even hurt. I just didn’t want others to see us together.
It’s fine, Keegan. He’s no match for me. Back when we were in school, he couldn’t even win an arm wrestling match against me. He’s really not that tough.”
Spencer was dumbfounded. ‘Does she think I’m deaf? Why is she saying it out loud? I was clearly going easy on her back then!’
Keegan looked at him with a disdainful gaze and commented, “I guess looks can be deceiving.”
Spencer could not believe his ears.
Fearing that Keegan’s jealousy might escalate, Stella hastily led him to a private dining room in the restaurant.
It was then that Spencer’s friend asked, “What just happened? What’s up between you and Keegan?”
“It’s nothing,” Spencer responded in disdain.
“Nothing? Are you kidding me? I swear, the tension was insane!”
Spencer glanced at him and said, “What are you on about?”
His friend rolled his eyes before he continued, “Honestly though, I never noticed it before. But seeing you and Keegan together today made me realize that you guys share a certain resemblance.”
Spencer paused for a moment. He then turned around and said, “Come on. Let’s go.”
Stella had mentioned that he looked familiar when they saw each other at the wedding. At that time, he thought it was
just a light-hearted comment. But now that he had the chance to take a good look at Keegan… Spencer could not help but grit his teeth in frustration. ‘Fuck this!’ he thought.
In the private room of the restaurant, Keegan finally asked,” Do I really look like him?”
Stella was caught off guard by the question. “Huh?”
Keegan’s expression turned serious. “Vermont said that I look like Spencer. What do you think?”
His words left Stella speechless. ‘Vermont just can’t keep his mouth shut!’ she thought.
“I don’t think you two look alike at all. You’re clearly way more attractive than him,” she answered.
Keegan gave her a sidelong glance after hearing that. “Are you saying that just to make me feel better?”
“No. I swear. I’ll be cursed to have a sexless life if I’m lying.”
“Why does that sound like a punishment for me instead?”
Stella stifled a laugh, as she hugged Keegan’s waist and said, “A bit of jealousy adds spice to a relationship. But too much of it can be toxic. You’ve already had his dad lecture him in front of us. What more could you possibly want?”
