Stella pondered, ‘Who could Trevor be referring to?’ Although she had a vague idea of the person Trevor hinted at, as he hadn’t specified, she refrained from probing further.
After discussing work matters, Trevor glanced at her belly and inquired with a smile, “Have you chosen a name for the baby?”
Returning the smile, Stella replied, “Not yet. Any suggestions?” “Let me think. It should be something meaningful.” An idea struck Trevor.” You’re fond of mangoes, right? Let’s nickname the baby ‘Little Mango.'”
Stella was left speechless.
‘Hmm. So much of a meaningful one.’ “As for the full name, I’ll debate it with Keegan once he regains his memory. Though I might have a slight edge in the debate,” Trevor joked.
Stella laughed. “If he hears this, he’ll want to challenge you as soon as he remembers everything.” Trevor laughed too. “I’ll be waiting.” After helping Stella pack, Trevor left her room. Walking with Stella to the door, they encountered Jaylene.
Standing by her own door, Jaylene gazed in Stella’s direction but seemed focused on Trevor. When Trevor turned to her, she greeted him with a smile,’Hello, Trevor.”
However, Trevor’s smile faded, and he responded to Jaylene with a detached greeting before heading back inside his room.
Jaylene’s expression shifted to sadness. When she glanced at Stella, her demeanor turned distant and cold. Without saying a word, she retreated into her room and closed the door.
Stella noticed the change in Trevor’s attitude toward Jaylene. His glance didn’t seem as affectionate or protective as before, prompting her to ponder the situation.
■Jaylene has lived with Trevor for twenty years, yet she doesn’t understand him at all,’ Stella pondered silently.
Had it not been for Jaylene overstepping boundaries, Trevor might have been an affectionate and caring brother, but Stella had become that limit.
The following morning, Stella resumed packing immediately after waking up.
Upon descending the stairs, she encountered Jaylene. She wore the same dress Stella had selected for her the day before. With her long hair fashioned into a neat low ponytail secured by a hairpin, and a touch of makeup enhancing her features, Jaylene exuded elegance as she greeted Stella and swiftly departed.
Having a light breakfast, Stella returned upstairs. Subsequently, she messaged Felicity on WhatsApp, [Hey, what are you up to?] Felicity: [Sharpening my knife.] Stella: [What? Are you cooking?] Felicity: [I’m going to slice a cucumber.] Stella was left momentarily speechless.
When she was about to reply, she received a message from Keegan, saying: [I’ll come later. Something came up.] Since Stella wasn’t in a rush, she replied simply with an “Okay”.
She resumed chatting with Felicity, but during their conversation, Felicity inquired: [Stella, did Keegan come to pick you up?] Stella replied: [He mentioned something came up; he’ll come later.] Felicity prodded further: [Did you ask him what happened?] Stella was caught off guard. She responded: [What are you implying?] After a moment, Felicity sent Stella a picture.
Felicity wrote: [I saw this on stinky Cucumber’s account.] Stella opened the image, and her expression immediately turned grim.
