Stella replied, [What are you thinking? How does his first love concern me? It's not like I'm planning a
life with him.]
Felicity texted, [Then why are you secretly inquiring about Marshall behind Keegan’s back?]
Stella typed a response, paused, and then erased it. She retyped, [Keegan wants Marshall to be our
child's godfather in the future. I'm actually supporting you two, so I need to know what Marshall is like. I
must find a solid reason to dismiss Keegan's idea. My child's godparents should only be you two!]
Felicity replied, [What?! Marshall as a godfather to my goddaughter? Spill his secrets, Stinky
Cucumber!]
To Vermont, Stella was clever and always manipulating people. In fact, he doubted Stella's questions
about Marshall were innocent because the choice of godparents would ultimately be hers. With Stella's
cunning, Keegan could not outsmart her, even with an extra lifetime. She could even convince Keegan
to give their child her last name.
Vermont did not understand how his innocent, kind-hearted " Miss Bandit" befriended someone like
Stella. But recalling Stella's past actions, he realized these friends, despite their differences, genuinely
cared for each other.
Felicity added, [Stinky Cucumber, your goddaughter might be claimed by someone else. Do
something!]
Vermont promptly started a group voice call.
Stella's phone rang in the car. Without thinking, she hung up, catching Keegan's attention. She
awkwardly placed her phone face down on her lap, visibly nervous.
Keegan looked at her, then the phone, and pursed his lips before asking, "Not answering?"
"It's Felicity. She's probably checking if I'm home. I've run out of data, and she can talk for hours. I can't
afford extra charges."
After a pause, Keegan said, "You know our car has Wi-Fi, right?"
Pretending to be surprised, Stella replied, "Really? Cars have Wi-Fi now?"
Keegan offered to connect her phone, but she quickly grabbed it, saying, No, I'll do it."
He casually mentioned, "The password is ily3t."
"Can you repeat that?" Stella asked. Keegan spoke too quickly, and she did not catch it.
Keegan leaned in and whispered, "It stands for 'I love you three thousand'."
Stella was taken aback. She felt a flutter in her heart with the driver present and Keegan being so close
to her. She thought Keegan was definitely flirting with her.
Pushing him away, her face red, Stella retorted, "More like 'I loathed you three thousand'!"
Keegan raised an eyebrow. "You didn't know about the Wi-Fi. How'd you guess the password?"
Stella, caught off-guard, stammered. She knew the password because she had set it. But admitting that
would expose her lie.
Biting back her frustration, Stella said, "It was a guess. Who sets such an embarrassing password?"
