Stella took out a piece of cloth to wipe it before wearing it on her left hand. “He got superstitious after the divorce and told me to wear this more often because it can ward off evil. IV
Felicity pulled her hand over and took a closer look at the bracelet before saying enviously, “Keegan’s taste is pretty good.”
Stella had fair skin, and the red bracelet looked exceptionally vibrant on her hand.
She purposely tied her hair up with a silver hairpin to match her traditional Hustuabourgian-style dress, and the bracelet complimented her outfit extremely well.
Stella had plenty of other hand accessories to wear, but they were all very expensive. She would feel bad if she scratched or damaged them in any way through daily wear.
However, the Red Agate bracelet was relatively cheaper and more durable than her other bracelets. It would not be as heart-wrenching even if it did break. Besides, Keegan gifted it. He loved seeing her wear the things he gave her.
At six-thirty, Trevor came knocking and told them to go downstairs as most of the guests had already arrived.
On their way to the banquet hall, they could see orchids of various colors placed everywhere in the hotel, spreading a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.
Stella asked, “Trevor, doesn’t Ms. Saun have asthma? There are so many flowers strong. Is she going to be okay with all this?”
“She requested them. She loves orchids.”
Then, Stella stopped speaking.
Trevor paused after answering Stella’s question. Then, he asked softly, “Stella, what flowers do you like? I’ll get some for you when it’s your birthday.”
Before Stella could say anything, Keegan chimed in, “She likes every flower. However, if she had to pick a favorite, it would be sunflowers because they’re edible.”
Stella remained silent.
Trevor did not seem very happy with him interrupting his conversation with said, “Mr. Kane, have you heard about this saying?”
Keegan listened attentively.
“Stop closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.”
Keegan was taken aback.
Stella could not help but chuckle as she held Trevor’s arm and said in a low voice, “Bro, he always knew what kind of flowers I like. He was the one who took care of the flowers I planted at home when I wasn’t around. Please do me this favor and stop teasing him, okay?”
Although Trevor felt reluctant, he gave in anyway. Then, he asked Stella, “Do you enjoy gardening?”
Stella nodded. “Yeah. It’s mainly because of the flowers’ fragrance. They amaze me.”
Me too.” Trevor smiled. “Like mother, like children.”
However, that was not the case for Jaylene. She wanted to venture into perfumery back then but had asthma and could not distinguish different smells very well. She would even feel uncomfortable after
smelling them for a long time.
Although she was working in Caline, she was in the design department.
They arrived at the banquet hall as they spoke. The door was pushed open, and plenty of other guests were inside.
Jaylene wore a light pink chiffon dress and was happily chatting with the guests.
She also had a diamond-stuffed silver crown on her head. Her matching bracelet and earrings shone brightly under the lights, making her easily noticeable in the crowd.
It seemed like she could sense someone coming inside and turned around. She paused. Then, her eyes lit up as her usually elegant face turned lively. She placed the thing in her hand down and slowly approached them.
As she came closer, she grabbed Trevor’s hand, “Bro, you’re finally here.”
Stella paused. She looked at her empty hand and curled her fingers.
