Chapter 1984
Stella felt a surge of panic. 'I'm dead meat if Keegan catches me hugging Spencer, especially right after
we got our marriage license. I'd rather face death than his wrath. Why does every encounter with
Spencer lead to trouble? He's like a bad omen!' she thought, her mind racing.
Stella awkwardly pushed Spencer away and was about to call out to Keegan. But then her attention
was diverted as her gaze darted toward him and Jaylene, who offered him a water bottle.
Speechless, Stella's thoughts whirled, 'Great. We just got our marriage license, and here is Keegan,
sneaking out to watch a movie with Jaylene. How's he going to explain this one?'
Catching Keegan's intense stare, Jaylene turned and spotted Stella, who was inconspicuously close to
a strikingly handsome man. "Stella?" she blurted out, turning to Keegan in disbelief. "That's Stella over
there!"
After her outburst, Jaylene scrutinized Keegan's expression closely. His face was a mask of cold

Jaylene smirked. She suggested shyly, "Let's greet them, Keegan."
Spencer, sensing Stella's discomfort, reluctantly released her hand. He observed Keegan, noting a
stark contrast from their previous encounters. Previously, Keegan would radiate jealousy. But now, he
appeared utterly indifferent, as if Stella beside him meant nothing.
'Could his amnesia really be this strong?' spencer pondered.
"Stella,'’ Jaylene called out with feigned cheerfulness. "What a coincidence!
Are you here to catch a movie with a friend?"
Stella, struggling to maintain her composure, met Keegan's eyes with a silent question. He subtly
averted her gaze, focusing instead on Spencer.
Spencer's warm smile did little to ease the tension. He asked, "Aren't you going to introduce US,
Stella?"
Keegan bristled at the question, his annoyance palpable.
Stella hesitated, her mind momentarily forgetting Jaylene's penchant for stirring trouble. She finally
spoke, "This is my stepsister, Jaylene Saun," her eyes flicking to Keegan, "And my ex-husband, whom
you've met."
Intrigued by the man beside Stella, Jaylene inquired eagerly, "And who might this gentleman be?"
Before Stella could respond, Spencer extended his hand with a confident smile, "Hello. I'm Spencer
Graham, Stella's ex."
Stella was dumbfounded, her thoughts in turmoil, 'Proud to be known as my ex? Really?'
Jaylene's surprise mirrored Stella's. She had not expected such a forthright introduction, eliminating her
chance for further speculation. "Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise," she remarked, shaking his hand. "I
didn't know Stella was still on amiable terms with her ex."
Keegan's expression darkened slightly. Before he could speak, Spencer chuckled and said, "Stella has
always been exceptionally kind-hearted.

the whispers about her reputation. She's well- known for her enduring affection toward her past loves.
It's surprising to hear you don't know this, Jaylene. Seems like you're not as close to Stella as one
might think."
He added playfully, glancing at Stella, "And no, I didn't come to watch a movie with her. She brought
Coco here for a movie, and we just happened to bump into each other. Seems fate hasn't finished with
us yet."
Keegan remained silent, his gaze thoughtful.
'If Spencer praises her character, it must hold some truth. Yet he’s her ex...' Jaylene thought, her
expression briefly faltering before she forced a smile." You're right. My relationship with Stella has been
rather brief. There's much more for US to learn about each other."
Turning to Keegan, Jaylene suggested, "Since we're all here, why not have a meal together? It will be a
