Chapter 1781


    At that moment, Jaylene, Ste, and Keegan exchanged nces.


    Jaylene greeted Ste with a friendly smile, “Hey Ste, I thought you''d gone out." Ste remained


    silent, her expression cold.


    “The outfit you chose for me today is perfect.


    Even Keegan said it looks good," Jaylene continued.


    Keegan''s eyes flickered, but he stayed silent.


    ''Since when did I say that?" He recollected Jaylene talking about her dress when they got in the car.


    But Keegan hadn''t been paying much attention.


    She had asked him a question, and he had just responded with, ''"Mhm." ‘Was that meant to be


    pliment?'' Keegan wondered.


    1 Ste nced at him, her look seemingly colder, yet she wore a warm smile.

    “So, you had a date with my fiancé.


    If I''d known earlier, I would''ve suggested the red dress.


    He''s not a fan of overly elegant attire on women; he finds it dull and uninteresting," Ste remarked.


    1 Jaylene''s expression stiffened.


    She had anticipated Ste to be upset and lose herposure.


    Aurora had previously mentioned that Keegan couldn''t handle Ste''s assertiveness and tendency


    toward jealousy.


    That''s why Jaylene made flirtatiousments when seeking Ste''s help with clothing choices


    yesterday.


    But Ste''s reaction surpassed her expectations.


    That was why Jaylene made flirtatiousments when she asked Ste for help picking clothes


    yesterday.


    However, Ste''s reaction was beyond her expectations.


    Ste even referenced what Jaylene had mentioned the previous night.


    Feeling exposed, Jaylene clenched her fists and responded, "Date? That''s ridiculous.


    I apanied Keegan for a routine health follow -up.


    He was concerned about me taking a cab alone, so he offered me a ride.


    Don''t overthink it." “And how did you end up with a bouquet of flowers?" Jaylene blushed, stumbling


    over her words, ''We just happened to pass by a flower shop, and I suggested going inside." Ste


    nced at Keegan with a soft look, "You weren''t this considerate when we were together." ‘Heck, you


    even abandoned me in the middle of an argument!'' she thought to herself.


    Keegan felt a sense of unease under her scrutinizing gaze and averted his eyes.


    Before he could speak, Jaylene swiftly stepped forward.


    "Ste, if you''re upset, direct it at me.


    Don''t put Keegan in an awkward position.


    He had good intentions." Worried that Ste might direct her anger toward Keegan, Jaylene turned to


    him.


    "Keegan, thank you for bringing me home.


    Drive safely on your way back.


    I really appreciate the flowers.


    Thank you." As she reached for the bouquet, Keegan deftly avoided her grasp.


    Jaylene stood there, taken aback, staring at him in disbelief.


    "Keegan?" "The flowers aren''t for you," Keegan said calmly.


    Then who..." Before she could finish her sentence, Jaylene halted.


    If the flowers weren''t intended for her, they must be for Ste.


    Keegan sidestepped her and approached Ste.


    "Come with me." Jaylene froze, gazing at Ste in disbelief.


    1 Casually touching the flower petals, Ste asked, "Where to?" Keegan locked eyes with her and


    replied slowly, "Back to Royalpark Vi."
