Chapter 134

"Keen, are you feeling any better?"

The moment Keen laid eyes on Rachel, he looked as though he'd seen his savior. "Rachel, you finally made it!"

Rachel's heart ached seeing the forlorn expression on Keen's face. "Keen, what's wrong? Did someone upset you?"

Stella stood by with a smirk, "Ms. Pearce, that's quite the question. Who else could possibly be bothering him in this room besides me?"

Keen immediately piped up in Rachel's defense. "Mom, how can you talk to Rachel like that?"

Stella shot back, "And how exactly am I wrong?"

"Of course you're wrong! Rachel's just concerned about me," Keen insisted, his innocence shining through. "Mom, you can't just be so possessive and not allow others to care for me."
