Chapter 1064
Leighton glared at his manager and asked, "Was it you who called that guy over?"
The manager naturally refused to admit his doing. "How would someone like me get in contact with the boss of
Vinci Rivera?"
Leighton did not believe him. 'Who would spread the news about my date with Stella if not for this lousy person?'
"Then, why did he show up?"
"He must've seen the way you were looking at his ex-wife. He's not blind, you know. He was clearly trying to get you
to stay away. Do you know why Stella keep messing up during the make-out scene you two shot together?"
Leighton looked puzzled, indicating that he did not know the reason behind the retakes.
"It was because her ex-husband was holding the reflector and standing above the two of you! Would she have been
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdisturbed to kiss you if they were actually over?"
Leighton froze and vaguely recalled the man who wore a face mask during the shoot. His eyes looked similar to
Keegan's. Leighton's face turned green, and he finally understood why Stella acted weird that day. ’Fuck! What a
fucking mutt!'
Stella was twisting and turning in the car. Keegan held her shoulder down and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Stella frowned and said, "There's something under my neck."
Keegan was confused. He reached out to feel it but found nothing. "You can lay down now. It's gone."
Stella laid down again after that. Then, she immediately popped back up and frowned. "It's still there," she said.
Feeling puzzled, Keegan searched around but could not find the item Stella was talking about. Suddenly, he knew
what it was when Stella complained about it for the third time.
Keegan reached into the pocket of his pants and pulled out a ring. Every time Stella laid down on Keegan's lap, her
neck rested on the ring, making her feel uncomfortable.
Stella looked at the ring and was surprised. "Why don't you wear it on your hand instead of putting it in your
pocket?"
Keegan looked at her and whispered, "Did you forget? We are divorced. This was our wedding ring. I can't wear it
now."
Stella was a little slow. She did not hear the grief behind Keegan's words. ’ I'm not wearing my ring either," she said
while holding up her hand to Keegan's face.
Keegan did not know what to say. 'There's no way she'll understand what I mean when she's this drunk,' he sighed.
He then stroked her face and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Stella put her hand up to her mouth, leaned over to Keegan's ear, and said, ’ Let's go buy a new pair of rings and
wear them without anyone knowing."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeegan's eyelids fluttered when he heard that. "And what will the rings symbolize?" He asked in a low voice.
Stella cocked her head to the side and thought for a while. "An engagement. What do you think?"
Keegan's heart pounded. "Okay," he cleared his throat and said. "To the jewelry store," he told Aldor.
When Aldor stopped the car near University Town, Stella pulled Keegan out of the vehicle and walked toward the
bustling street. The woman reeked of alcohol, and people kept looking at her as they passed.
Keegan stopped her and helped her put on a face mask. However, the crowd made it hard for Stella to breathe
with the mask on. She subconsciously tried to pull it off, but Keegan prevented her from doing so and whispered,
"I'll get jealous if others see your face."
Stella froze and said, "You're such a child." Although, she did not try to take off her mask anymore.
Stella pulled Keegan through the streets and alleys when they finally found a small shop that sold gold and silver
jewelry. It was late, and the lights were on. The owner of the place was lying on a chair while watching The Palace
