The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1284

"Mr. O'Brien, Keen, you're here," Aurora said, greeting them with practiced ease.

Haynes gave a polite nod. Keen also mumbled a courteous, "Ms. Williams."

"Keen, this is Ms. Queenie," Aurora said with a smile. "She's Mr. Burton's granddaughter."

"Hello, Ms. Queenie," Keen said dutifully.

Queenie smiled and pulled a small gift from her purse. "This is for you, Keen. A little something to mark our meeting."

Keen instinctively looked to Stella for permission. Stella glanced at Haynes, who remained silent. "It's a thoughtful gift from Ms. Burton, Keen. You can accept it."

"Thank you, Ms. Queenie," Keen said politely.

After a few minutes of small talk, Stella turned to her son. "Keen, why don't you spend some time with your father? Mommy needs to go prepare dinner."

"Okay," Keen replied.

Joshua followed Stella upstairs with the groceries. She had her own private kitchen in the mansion and had no intention of cooking for the entire Williams family.

In the kitchen, Stella began washing and prepping the vegetables while Joshua stood beside her, helping out. He moved with a practiced ease that showed this wasn't his first time assisting her.

"It seems that Ms. Burton has taken an interest in Haynes," Joshua commented as he trimmed the vegetables.

Stella's hands didn't pause. "Yes, it looks like Aurora is playing matchmaker."
