Keegan pulled out a chair and sat next to Stella.
Marshall chuckled, “That’s just him being picky and not appreciating your cooking. It’s clearly delicious.”
Stella gave him a thumbs up. “You got good taste!” Jaylene had initially planned to sit beside Keegan. But, before she could, Trevor cast a glance at her and asked,”
Jaylene, what happened to your face?” Jaylene looked puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
Others turned their attention to her.
Her makeup had been smudged. The foundation and contour on her face were uneven. She looked as though she had been in a fight.
Darcie frowned. “Your makeup is ruined, and you didn’t notice?”
Trevor opened the camera app on his phone to show Jaylene her current appearance.
Jaylene’s expression turned ugly. She glared at Stella, gritted her teeth, and said, “Stella, my makeup is ruined. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?”
Stella was taken aback.
With Keegan as her backing, Jaylene now dared to confront Stella in front of their father.
When Jaylene questioned her, Wenham, who was absorbed in drinking, snapped out of his trance. “What do you mean deliberately trying to embarrass you? Why do you always think that Stella is targeting you? If she was, why would she save you in the first place?”
Jaylene was momentarily speechless.
“Hurry up and fix your makeup. It looks horrible,” Darcie added.
Jaylene could not swallow the humiliation. She felt that Stella was deliberately trying to embarrass her in front of Keegan. She did not leave and glared at her, demanding an explanation.
Stella slowly looked up and said, ’ Didn’t I tell you?”
“When did you do that?”
“Think about it.”
“I-” Jaylene recalled Stella telling her to look in the mirror before she left.
Wasn’t that an insult? How can she claim that she told me?’ Jaylene was furious.
“Remember now?” Stella asked.
Jaylene clenched her teeth. Her face darkened, as she went to the bathroom to fix her makeup.
Stella lowered her eyes and sipped on her juice.
Jaylene was indeed a hopeless romantic.
While Stella did not explicitly tell her about the smudged makeup, Keegan was the one who wiped her face with a towel. Nevertheless, Jaylene directed her blame at Stella.
‘Was she expecting Keegan to speak up for her? I’d curse him out if he dared to say a word.’ Marshall poured a glass of wine and handed it to Stella.” Happy New Year, Stella. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, and may all your wishes come true.”
Stella looked at the alcohol and was momentarily stunned.
Before she could react, Keegan took the glass in front of her and said, “She’ll be driving later. I’ll drink it on her behalf.”
