Chapter 554

Marshall's gaze met his and was unwavering.

There seemed to be no ripples underlying his gaze, yet a turbulent tidal wave hid inside.

Keegan took a sip of his tea and then put the cup on the table.

"Your worries seem to be unfounded.I have many cars at home. There's no difference if I gift one to her."

Marshall also chuckled.

"I was afraid Stella wouldn't be willing to get in a car since she doesn't like to take advantage of others."

Keegan seemed to not have understood who the "others" Marshall meant in his sentence.

Instead, Keegan said nonchalantly, "It's good that you know. You've had your meal, spoken your conversation, and drank this tea. You should go home soon."

Marshall was speechless.

The corner of Marshall's lips twitched.

As he was about to answer, Keegan said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that your mother said you would have trouble sleeping after drinking tea."

When saying this, he took over the cup of tea in Marshall's hand and sipped.

"It's better you don't drink the tea.Leave quickly."

Marshall was once again at a loss for words.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Keegan has grown to be more outrageous.

At the same time, Stella brought out a fruit platter that was freshly cut. She beckoned Marshall to eat them.

"Mr.Moore, have some fruits."

Marshall's expression softened, and he thanked her kindly.

Keegan initially wanted to stretch his hand out to take some but found that Stella had cut a plate of mangoes. He gave Stella a look. "Weren't there strawberries?"

Stella glared at him.

"Mr.Moore doesn't like to eat strawberries."

The corner of Keegan's eye twitched hard.

'How long has she known Marshall, that she knows what that "other person" likes or dislikes to eat?' Keegan thought.

Stella naturally was bullshitting.

How would she know what fruits Marshall likes? However, Stella did not want Keegan to eat the fruits she had cut herself.

She purposely cut up a plate of mangoes due to Keegan being allergic to mango.

Strawberry was the fruit that Keegan liked.

Hence, she did not cut them on purpose.

Marshall seemed to be very pleased and spoke to her in a low voice about the issues regarding the follow-up processing for the defamation case.

Stella listened earnestly and would respond once in a while.

Keegan was listening on the side but could not help but feel sore from gritting his teeth in jealousy.

"It's almost time to bring Juno for a jog," Keegan said softly.

Then he glanced at Marshall, saying, "It would probably be for one or two hours. You're so busy at your law firm, so I won't keep you here."

Stella looked at the time.

It should be two hours after Juno has eaten.

They should be running rounds at the race track based on their usual habits.

Marshall put down the fruit salad fork.

"During court trials, the law firm usually has no other arrangements, so it wouldn't be that busy today.I also haven't seen Juno in a long time and miss it quite a lot. If you don't mind, we can go and see it together."

He then said to Stella, "After that, I can bring you home on the way."

Stella immediately answered, "Of course, that would be great."

Carpooling would also save her the cost of calling a cab.

How great was that? The lawsuit helped her win some compensation and even helped her save money.

If Marshall was not an angel, he was definitely a leprechaun to her.

'Even with the victory in the defamation case, there's still the property settlement between Albert and Rainee.I need to form a good relationship with Mr.Moore.

If I win the property settlement case, wouldn't it be another big paycheck?' Stella thought.

Keegan saw the look Stella had while she stared at Marshall with smiling eyes.

His expression unconsciously fell.

Juno had finished its meal and was already restless in the stables.

Keegan and the group had just arrived, and Juno could not resist squealing.

Its nostrils huffed and puffed while its hooves did not stop stomping in small steps while staying in place.

Its eyes were black, bright, and sharp.

Its mane was soft and flowy, with the fur around its body shining from its dark color.

Stella seemed to understand why Cordelia had named it Juno because it looked so beautiful.

Keegan had changed into attire for horse riding and opened the gates to pull Juno out.

Juno was not in a rush to follow Keegan.

Instead, it circled Stella with its hooves click-clacking in front of her...It shook its neck with an eager look. Its eyes were black, bright, and sharp.
