    "Those houses are yours.The Housing Authority office close at five -thirty, so we should be able to


    make it.Hurry up ande over," said Ste.


    Keegan felt that Ste did not want to dwell on when he transferred the properties to her name; she


    was more concerned with cutting ties with him.He clenched his fists and said coldly, "I''m busy."


    Ste furrowed her brows and asked, "Then when are you free? I''m in a hurry to buy a house."


    "If you hurry, go— Mhm..."


    Before Keegan could finish speaking, Vermont, who had just run over, covered his mouth and said,


    "Hey Ste, it''s Vermont.Keegan and I are outside.We''re about to kick off a new project, and Keegan''s


    been joining me for on-site surveystely.Unfortunately, I don''t think he''d have much free time."


    Keegan red at Vermont, wanting to pry his hand off.


    Pressing the phone tight, Vermont whispered to Keegan, "If you still want Ste as your wife, you better


    watch whates out of your mouth."


    Keegan''s hand stopped, and he stared at Vermont with icy eyes but did not attempt to resist.


    On the other end, Ste furrowed her brows and said, "It''ll only take one or two hours.He can surely


    spare that time, right?"


    "If he can''t make it, why don''t you forget about buying a house? Just pick one of the properties under


    your name to live in.After all, they''re all yours.Why return them to him? Isn''t your youth worth more than


    those houses?"


    Vermont''s reasoning made sense.


    If Felicity had said those words to Ste, she would have listened.


    After all, Felicity was her best friend.


    ''But Vermont is Keegan''s buddy.Would he really speak for me?’ With that in mind, Ste pursed her lips


    and said, "I don''t want to owe Keegan anything.Could you ask him when he''s avable?"


    "Uh, I can''t say for sure," Vermont replied.


    "But if you need a ce to stay, I have a house in Clouditude International.It''s fully furnished and ready


    for you to move in.I won''t charge you rent.Then, once things settle down with Keegan, you two can..."


    Vermont then repeatedly rubbed the phone with a tissue, and his voice started to break up.


    "...discuss...Ste...signal...poor...gotta hang up..."


    With that, Vermont ended the call, leaving Keegan confused.

    "Let her keep the houses," Vermont advised.


    "She''lle to you on her own now.Then you won''t have to worry about her blocking you, right?"


    Keegan was at a loss for words, but he could not help but think that Vermont''s advice made sense,


    even if it was a little devious.


    As Vermont settled back onto the bed, he continued, "When pursuing a girl, don''ty all your cards on


    the table at once.Men and women, they''re all the same.People don''t cherish things thate too


    easily.And hey, you said Ste''s a fickle, right?"
