"There's nothing to worry about."
Keegan consoled Stella.
"It doesn't matter how cunning or evil she may be.She can never hurt you as long as I'm here."
Stella smiled and snuggled into his arms.
"I'm not worried about her hurting me if she does it to my face.I'm just afraid that she might secretly set me up while I still see her as a considerate and thoughtful person, catching me off guard."
Keegan thought for a moment before he said, "Darcie managed to get together with Uncle Sean back then, despite being a divorced single mother, before taking control of Enchanted.I'm sure that she's more than just an ordinary woman."
He figured that they should be more cautious when dealing with Darcie in the future.
Stella thought about what Trevor told her and suddenly said, "The banquet is tomorrow, yet my brother hasn't contacted me all day."
"He went to Salcator," Keegan said.
"What?"
Keegan hugged her tighter.
"The Hall family is rooted in Salcator, and their relatives and friends are all there.They're all influential and reputable people.Your return to the Saun family is a big matter, so Trevor has to extend the invitation in person as a sign of sincerity on how serious the Saun family is about this banquet.On the
other hand, Uncle Wenham is responsible for dealing with the people in Rivera.There'll be a lot of prominent figures coming to the banquet tomorrow.You should prepare yourself for it to avoid feeling nervous."
Stella replied, "Don't worry.Although I can be shy sometimes, I'm good at pretending I'm not."
"You're being humble.I don't think you're a shy person at all." Stella kept quiet.She then gritted her teeth and grasped his throat.
"You don't even bother to pretend anymore now that your probation is over, huh?" Keegan bent down and lifted her.
"I'm just telling the truth.You might lose sight of who you really are if I keep buttering you with lies."
He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
"I'm marrying a woman who loves to lie, brag, be greedy, and lustful.Do you really want me to pretend I'm marrying a flawless fairy?"
Stella pretended to choke him.
"I'll give you another chance to rephrase your words!"
Keegan chuckled softly as his chest vibrated slightly, producing a deep laughter.
"Okay then.I'll try to tell a lie.Baby, you're the most modest person ever," he said.
Stella felt frustrated and bit his neck.
Keegan lifted her even higher and said in a low voice, "I'm going to wear a suit tomorrow.Do you want me to show up with a bite mark on my neck?"
Stella paused before biting him even harder.
Then, she let go and said, "You deserve it! Figure out how to cover it yourself! November 7th, Tuesday.The sky was very cloudy in the morning, and it started drizzling as noon approached.Then, it rained heavier in the afternoon.Trevor personally drove to pick Stella up.The banquet was scheduled to begin at eight o'clock, but Stella had to arrive at the hotel early for preparations.Keegan figured that he should not tag along with Trevor because of how formal the occasion was.However, Vermont was not bothered and hopped into Trevor's car without hesitation.
Of course, he also brought his girlfriend along.
The couple was already waiting in the car when Stella was still getting ready upstairs.
Trevor was already used to how shameless Vermont could be, so he did not really mind.
He casually asked when they were still waiting for Stella.
"The makeup artist and her outfit are all sorted out, right?"
Felicity blurted out before Vermont could say anything, "It almost wasn't."
Trevor paused.
"What do you mean?"
"Because of that bitc—ugh—"
Vermont put his hand over Felicity's mouth and cut her off.
Trevor had grown up with Jaylene since they were young.Even though they were not blood-related, he still regarded her as his little sister.
