Chapter 648
They even argued about which was the nicer pie, apple pies or pumpkin pies.
Vermont was a southerner. He stubbornly said apple pies were better.
Felicity was a northern girl. Naturally, she felt pumpkin pies were the best.
At the end of their debate, Felicity bragged. "I'll make a whole pumpkin pie for you tomorrow. I'll show you which is the best."
Vermont slightly lifted the corner of his mouth. He looked serious as he said, "Show me. But apple pies will remain on top!"
Felicity's expression was ugly. She said, "You just wait!"
She then immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the pumpkin pie. She wanted to give Vermont a
brutal slap in the face with the Northern pumpkin pie.
Stella saw Vermont looked smug. She felt that Felicity fell into his trap.
The four of them finished eating all four of the dishes and the soup.
Truthfully, Keegan ate quite little. Stelle did not eat much either because Keegan was there. Felicity ate as much as Stella. Only
Vermont ate a lot.
Vermont was talking while eating. He actually had almost half of the mushroom soup.
He very proactively helped to clean up the dishes after the meal.
’1'11 do it," Stella said.
She did not want to let the guest do the dishes.
Vermont did not reject it. He then went to drink tea in the living room.
Keegan removed his blazer. He rolled up his sleeves to help Stella.
Stella stopped cleaning up when she saw him move. She rolled down her sleeves as she faintly said, "Clean the dishes more
thoroughly."
She went back to her room after that.
Keegan was speechless.
He had a headache when he lowered his head, staring at the pile of dishes.
He spent more than fifteen minutes cleaning the dishes.
Keegan had a pampered upbringing. He did not have experience in cleaning dishes. His whole body was wet after cleaning the
tableware. There were quite a few water stains on his shirt and pants.
He then came out of the kitchen.
Vermont and Felicity were holding their phones in the living room. They were playing games together.
’Your hands are as fast as grandma!’ Felicity scolded. "I was in front of you and you just watched me get killed?"
Vermont calmly said, "You were sacrificed for the greater good. Don't worry. I'll bring victory to you." ’Victory, your ass!"
Keegan ignored them. He glanced at the few rooms. He then found Stella's room.
He pushed the door open. He instantly saw the stuffed rabbit on her bed.
There was one at his house too.
But there was no one in the room. He did not see Stella.
Keegan was suddenly pushed from behind while he was wondering.
He stumbled and fell on the bed.
Stella jumped at him from behind. She used the pillow to hit his head.
’You scoundrel! Who allowed you to come into my room?!"
She hit him as she scolded him. She hit his face every single time. She seemed like she was taking her anger out on him.
It was a down pillow. It was light so it was not painful to be hit by it.
Keegan grabbed Stella's wrist easily. He turned her over to switch their positions.
He squinted his eyes. He gruffly said, "Were you just waiting for me here?'
What he meant was why would Stella not lock the door after the previous experience? He was implying that she was intentionally
watching him closely, waiting for him.
Stella stared at him as she said, “You barged into my room uninvited. Why can't I hit you?"
Keegan's heart unconsciously softened a little when he saw her fierce look.
'You can. I think it's quite nice."
He softly pinched Stella's face as he said, ’If someone dares to treat you like I did in the future, beat the person mercilessly. Hit
him until he's permanently disabled. I'll cover for you."
