Chapter 2052

Realizing that her threats had no effect, Stella shifted her strategy, employing charm. She messaged: [Honey, help me out, and I'll do whatever you ask for the rest of this month.]

Keegan, eyeing the calendar, responded: [There's only 13 hours left in the month.]

Stella quickly bargained. [Then I'll extend it to next month. You can call the shots next month, your word is law.]

Having been promised the moon too many times, Keegan did not buy it. He feigned reluctance, typing: [Nah, I don't have the knack for being in charge. I'd rather not take on that responsibility. I think you're doing a fine job and I'm happy to let you take the reins. The hard work of being Mrs. Kane suits you.]

Stella was momentarily speechless, realizing that she had overplayed her hand with promises. To make a compelling offer, Stella decided to play her trump card.

She suggested: [Honey, do you remember that queen's costume from the drama? There were more gorgeous outfits. If you like, I could call Daniel, and we could buy them all. I could wear each one for you in the evening. How does that sound?]

Keegan, startled by the proposition, coughed on his water, his ears turning red.
