’Why the hell is he blaming me? Does he even remember what he said about the ripped jeans?’ thought Stella. She recalled Keegan had looked at her indifferently and said,” Can’t you afford clothes without holes? How expensive can normal clothing be? It’s one thing for Aurora to dress like that at her age, but you’re a married woman; could you dress a bit more maturely?”

Naturally, that did not go down well with Stella. She felt offended because she was only a few years older than Aurora. So, she bought a few more pairs of ripped jeans and wore them every day, purposely showing them off in front of Keegan.

By coincidence, autumn arrived and brought rain for over half a month. Stella preferred sun-dried clothes since airdrying left a lingering smell, and machine-drying made clothes feel less fresh. As a result, a pile of dirty clothes accumulated and remained unwashed.

When the skies finally cleared, the housekeeper tossed everything into the washer, unintentionally causing some of the holes in the ripped jeans to tear even wider during the wash cycle. By the time they were taken out to dry, most of them had transformed into a different type of fashion. A few pant legs were entirely torn away, and some jeans turned into tatters.

At that moment, Keegan stood nearby, leisurely sipping his coffee. He found a bit of amusement in the situation. “Looks like you’ve turned some into DIY skirts. No wonder Grandma calls you thrifty.”

His words were enough to send Stella’s frustration rocketing. She
