Stella cast a glance at Keegan.

He was visibly upset, torn between wanting to express his frustration and maintaining his fake memory

loss.

After a considerable pause, he blurted out, "If you thought I was dead back then, why did you go to the

wishing well?"

Stella had intended to tease him further, but Keegan appeared genuinely distressed. When he asked

that question, his eyes even seemed to well up a bit.

Stella relented. 'If he wants to continue feigning amnesia, I'll go along with it.'

To her, there was no harm in indulging in his act as long as he returned and still held her in his heart.

She did not see the need to intentionally stir the pot and make him upset.

Stella knew that Keegan would take her words seriously.

Meeting his eyes, she softly explained, "Because I don't want anyone else. Even in a sea of people, it's

lonely without you."

Keegan stared at her for a moment, then shifted his gaze away.

His fair complexion gradually tinged with a hint of crimson, spreading from his neck to the tips of his

ears.

Struggling to suppress a smile, he cleared his throat and said, "Smooth."

Stella chuckled, glancing out the window.

Keegan wasn't hiding his emotions as well compared to before, especially when it involved her. Being a

perspective person, Marshall might have already pieced something together.

Stella wondered if tonight's events would impact Keegan's plans.

She realized there were indeed peculiar aspects about Marshall. For instance, the kidnapper who had

abducted them turned out to be the ex-husband of one of his clients, someone they had fought with

before.

Moreover, the kidnapper conveniently suffered from face blindness, mistaking Keegan for Marshall.

There were too many coincidences. It all seemed strange, even with reasonable explanations.

If it was retaliation from Chandler, Stella could easily deduce the motive. But she could not figure out

the justification as to why Marshall would be involved.

'Keegan had many photos of them in his photo album. He even noted Marshall's birthday on his

calendar. Marshall holds a significant place in Keegan's heart, so what reason could there be?'

Stella doubted she possessed such charm to make Marshall target Keegan on her behalf. 'Regardless

of Marshall's feelings for me, he should recognize that I can never entertain any romantic involvement

with him, even if something happen to Keegan.

He should know that there are boundaries, just like Keegan and Jaylene.'

After a moment of contemplation, Stella pulled out her phone and created a group chat with Vermont

and Felicity.

[I have a question for you. (©Vermont] texted Stella.

Vermont responded, [???]

[You could've just dm-ed me. Why make a group?]

[I was afraid you wouldn't tell the truth. Having Felicity here to supervise ensures you won't lie to me.]

Stella replied.

Vermont was at a loss for words.

[Lie, and I'll move out tonight] said Felicity.

Vermont gritted his teeth.

'Why couldn't Keegan have found someone easier to handle? Why did he have to choose such a

troublesome partner? It's fine if he's the only one that has to deal with her, but now I have to deal with

her too!' he thought.
