Chapter 1671
Felicity was taken aback. She thought that Stella would eventually give up after searching for so long, but it turned
out that she did not give up at all.
Felicity thought that what happened was somewhat miraculous, so she immediately told Vermont about it as soon
as she arrived home. "Let's not talk about whether the handwriting and bloodstained clothes that Stella saw are
real or not. But what are the odds that Trevor appeared at a time like this? It's just too coincidental, don't you
think?"
"Me?" Vermont took a bite of an apple and said, "I think Stella has a ridiculously good imagination for thinking that
Keegan was hidden away by Jaylene. Don't you think that Keegan would've at least given us a call if he's fine? No
matter how capable Jaylene is, she can't possibly stop a living man from leaving, right?"
Felicity propped up her cheek and frowned. "That's true, but I've always felt that Jaylene isn't a good person. She
said that she was going out with a friend, but how did she end up in the hospital?"
"Maybe she was called there for an emergency."

"I'm not defending her. I just think that Stella is too sad and mentally strained, which leads her to imagine stuff like
this.
You've got to make her face the truth and not go crazy with her."
He handed Felicity the apple, as he spoke. "It's really sweet. Taste it."
Felicity pushed it away disdainfully. "What do you mean by going crazy with her? I'm just fulfilling my promise by
supporting her unconditionally! Even if everything is just her imagination, I'm still going to side with her."
"A woman of integrity. This is exactly what I love about you!" He leaned closer to Felicity, as he spoke. "Don't just
think about your best friend all the time. What about me?"
"What do you need from me?" Felicity was annoyed.
"After what happened to Keegan, my parents suddenly started arranging a lot of blind dates for me. I told them
that
I already have a girlfriend, so they said they'd like to meet you." Vermont tapped her nose before he continued,
'After we're done with Keegan's matter, would you come home with me to meet my mom and dad?"
"M-M-Meet mom and dad?" Felicity stuttered.
Vermont chuckled. "We’re not even married yet. Don't you think it's too soon to address them like that?"
"Damn you!" Felicity's face turned red. "We've only been dating for a short time. Is it really appropriate to meet
them now?"
"I just want them to stop arranging blind dates for me. Otherwise, they'll always think that I'm simply making
excuses."
"I..." Felicity scratched her head. "I'll think about it."
Felicity had gained seven pounds ever since she started dating Vermont. Her face became quite round, and she just
could not bring herself to meet his parents in her current state. Suddenly, she felt as though she had to start hitting
the gym again...
After Stella returned home, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the
bloodstained coat and the handwriting on the sketchpad.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a notification on her phone, which snapped her out of her thoughts.
She grabbed her phone and saw a message from an unknown number. [About what I said yesterday, have you

Stella deleted that message nonchalantly, thought for a moment, and dialed another number.
In the Moore residence, Marshall had just finished his shower. He was going through his emails by his bed when he
heard his phone ringing. He paused momentarily and saw that it was Stella calling.
He answered the phone and said, "Hello, Stella."
"Mr. Moore, are you going to bed anytime soon?"
"No, I'm still working."
"Oh."
Stella remained silent after that as if she did not know how to ask her question.
Instead, Marshall took the initiative and asked, "Stella, is there something I can help you with?"
"Yeah," Stella replied softly.
Marshall's gaze turned gentle. "Go ahead. I'm listening."
Stella lowered her gaze and asked, "I want to learn skydiving. Can you teach me?"
Marshall was taken aback. "How do you know I can skydive?
You wrote it in the personal profile of your law firm."
