Jaylene handed Keegan a towel and said, “Here, wipe your hands.”
Keegan took it and thanked her.
Jaylene stood by his side and admired his features. The closer they became, the more she liked him.
She tightened her grip on her hands and whispered,” Keegan, is your recovery almost complete?”
Keegan nodded.
Jaylene bit her lip. ‘ Are you… going to divorce Stella?”
Keegan’s movements did not pause. While wiping his hands, he said, “She’s assisting me in recovering my memory. It’s inappropriate to bring up the divorce now.”
Jaylene was taken aback. “I thought you…”
She did not continue, but Keegan asked, “Thought I what?”
Jaylene quickly lowered her eyes and shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
Fortunately, Keegan did not press further. When he handed her the towel, he took something out of his pocket and gave it to her. Then, he said, “Happy New Year.”
Stella was on her way to the bathroom, and she overheard Keegan’s words.
She stopped in her tracks and observed the situation discreetly.
Jaylene was momentarily stunned. A flush spread from her cheeks to her neck.
While trembling, she asked, “Is this for me?”
Keegan did not look up. “I saw it at the mall the other day. I thought it suited you.
I didn’t know if you’d like it, but if you don’t…”
“I like it!” Jaylene eagerly responded.
After saying that, she bit her lip, blushing even more.
Keegan seemed to chuckle, and Jaylene felt shy.
“Keegan, c-can you help me put it on?”
Stella tensed up and thought, Tm going to kill him if he agrees.’ The next second, she heard Keegan say, “Sure.”
‘He told me he was here to pick me up, yet he brought a gift for Jaylene and gave it to her in secret!’ Stella’s face darkened, as she clenched her fists. She looked into the kitchen, thinking about what weapon she could use to harm the two.
Stella really wanted to leave, but she was curious about what Keegan had gotten for Jaylene. Tm actually going to kill him if it’s more expensive than the first gift he gave me.’ Then, she saw Keegan putting a cherry hairpin in Jaylene’s hair.
Stella frowned. ‘That hairpin looks familiar.’ She racked her brains, and not long after, she finally remembered.
‘Isn’t that the hair accessory he bought a few days ago when we were at Briller Plaza? They were two for $9.90; he only gave one to her!’ Stella’s mind was in a mess.
‘What a mutt! How dare he give away my things to other girls!
‘Wait. It’s $9.90. Who gives their mistress a hair accessory that costs $9.90?
And, he only gave one to her.’ Jaylene was in a daze. Keegan touching her hair made her heart flutter.
It was not until he removed his hands that Jaylene snapped back to reality. She reached up to touch the hairpin. “Is it pretty?” she held her breath and asked.
