    Ste did not say a word. She would have thought Keegan wasplimenting her if she did not know


    him well.


    The pot of fish stew was delivered to Leighton’s residence half an hourter. As a famous celebrity,


    Leighton had strict rules about his food intake to maintain a healthy figure. He had been particrly


    opposed to eating at night since the start of his career. Other than when he was out for social


    gatherings, Leighton had never eaten anything after 8:00 p.m. Even if it was after ate-night shoot.


    His manager, Estelle, was surprised to see him run down the stairs when the doorbell rang, and he


    came in with a pot and a bag of fruits. She stood in the living room with her takeout and said as she ate


    her food, “I just asked if you wanted some dinner, and you said no. Yet, you ordered takeout?”


    Leighton carefully carried the pot into the house and grunted, “Do restaurants give you their pots when


    you order from them?”


    Estelle was stunned. “Don’t tell me it’s a gift from one of your fans. Are you in a rtionship with them,


    you bastard? A good handful of people in the industry have met their downfall after dating their fans.


    Don’t you dare do the same!”


    Leighton rolled his eyes at his manager and said, “Are you crazy?” After he said that, he carried the pot


    into the kitchen.


    Estelle chased after him and asked, “Who gave it to you, then?”


    Leighton was in an excellent mood. “Ste cooked some fish stew for me,” he said with a smug.


    Estelle did not believe him. “Why on earth would she do that? If


    “To thank me, of course, for helping her collect information about Andrea’s case.”


    Estelle was confused. “When did that happen? Why didn’t you tell me? There isn’t much evidence in


    Andrea’s case. Why would you want to get into this mess?”


    “Evidence can be found if you look hard enough for it,” said Leighton. Not wanting to discuss more on


    the topic, he put the pot on the stove and began to light it. However, the gas did not turn on. “Is the


    stove broken?” Leighton frowned and asked.


    “No. It’s just not connected to a gas line,” Estelle replied.


    “Why isn’t it connected?”


    “Well, you don’t cook. So, why would you need gas? It costs thousands of dors to set up those


    things, you know?”


    Leighton was annoyed. “It’s not like I can’t afford that!”


    “True, but your temper is going to cause your downfall. I have to prepare some savings for you when


    that happens so that you won’t starve to death,” Estelle said with a straight face.


    Leighton’s expression darkened when he heard that.


    In the end, Estelle went to the neighbor’s ce to borrow a portable gas stove, and Leighton was able


    to reheat the pot of food. The stew looked rather good after it came to a boil. Leighton then took a


    picture of it, sent it to Ste, and said, [ It smells delicious. Thank you.]


    Ste was having some mushroom soup when she saw the message and almost spit her food out. She


    looked up at Keegan and said, “Leighton texted me to thank you.”Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Keegan was not surprised. He maintained his elegant posture and said in disdain, “So, that boy has


    manners.” Ste was speechless at his remark.


    Meanwhile, Leighton happily picked up his spoon to taste the stew upon seeing Ste’s reply. However,


    he spit the food out the moment it entered his mouth.
