Stella quickly moved her hand away and said with a frown, "Why are you inside my blanket?"Keegan sat up and was taken aback upon hearing what Stella said. "Take a good look at whose blanket this is."Stella looked at the blanket and fell silent.Then, she quietly rolled out of Keegan's blanket, grabbed her own, and covered herself again."I don't usually sleep like this." Stella tried to explain herself. "It's probably because of the pregnancy. The little one inside is acting up."Keegan got out of bed and took off his pajamas. Then, he grabbed his shirt and said while buttoning up, "It's okay. Didn't you say that we should work on our physical connection? I understand."He raised his gaze, as he spoke. "You can just ask to sleep under the same blanket next time. No need to beat around the bush."His response left Stella utterly speechless.'He needs to stop accusing me!' Stella said inwardly.The past few days had been strange for Stella. Even though she had been sleeping in
"Aldor picked this flower too, right?" Stella touched the petals and said, "Aldor is so good with flowers. Look at how fresh they are."Keegan could not hold back anymore, and he exclaimed, "I bought the flowers!"Stella looked at him. "Why did you buy them?""I—" Keegan looked away, as he said, "I saw a little girl selling flowers alone, so I bought all of her flowers out of pity."'This scum! He just keeps on lying!' Stella cursed inwardly.Then, she scoffed, "No wonder they're not fresh at all. They're all leftovers, huh?"Keegan was shocked.'When Aldor is the one buying them, they're fresh. But, when I buy them, they're not?'Keegan glared at the bouquet, plucked a flower petal out of frustration, and got into the car without speaking to Stella.Stella was amused. His acting skill could be considered convincing when he was around others, but when they were alone, he would display his true emotions all over. To Stella, his acting skills were simply terrible.The hospital
The doctor gave Stella a new diet plan and reminded her to control her sugar intake.With the increased risk of carrying twins, it was important to strictly control the rate of fetal growth. Smaller and healthier fetuses would lead to a smoother delivery process, and a quicker recovery for the mother afterward.Keegan took out his phone and diligently noted down all the doctor's instructions.Stella was listening to the doctor carefully too. But, when she went to get some water, she saw Keegan's serious demeanor while typing on his phone and found it somewhat amusing.His stern expression made him look exactly like a secretary jotting down meeting notes. No one would have thought that he was writing down notes of the doctor's instructions.Keegan was still holding Stella's hand when they came out of the doctor's office.However, Stella just let him do it without mocking him for acting as if he had regained his memories.She could feel the mixed emotions of excitement and concern
With a tense expression, Stella hesitated for a while before she said, "Fine."Then, she clutched her chest and thought to herself, 'Damn it. I need to stop being so soft!'However, when she saw Keegan's sparkling puppy eyes, she suddenly felt as though Keegan was more spineless than her.Keegan said in a low voice, "I'll give Aldor a call, then."Stella cleared her throat and said, "I'll call Trevor."Then, she walked to the side and dialed Trevor's number."Trevor, are you busy right now?"Trevor replied in a gentle tone, "Not at all. I'm just having drinks with my friends. What's up?"He seemed to have stepped out of the private room, as the noise on the other end of the phone instantly went away."It's nothing." Stella then cautiously asked, "Trevor, are our family's residency registration documents with you?"Trevor did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Why do you ask?""Do you remember when Keegan transferred a property under my name back then? I want to get
"Of course not. It can't be changed once we stamp it," The staff returned their IDs to them and continued, "Well, why not come back tomorrow? There's no rush anyway. Change into some nice clothes and come back for another photo session tomorrow."Keegan did not respond to that. Instead, he asked, "Can we use the same photo from our old certificate?"Stella was puzzled."Sure, but we don't have a copy of that. We can use them if you have the copies."Keegan replied, "I have the copies."Stella's initial confusion turned into surprise.Then, she coughed and reminded Keegan, "Didn't you lose your memory?"Oops!Keegan froze and finally realized what he had just said. After a long pause, he said, "I saw the photos when I was transferring data to my new phone."Fortunately, Keegan was able to keep up with his lie.He then forwarded the photo to the staff. After that, the photo was printed on the marriage certificate and was stamped.Stella looked at it and could not help but say,
Vermont replied, [I don't mind getting married right now if she wants to. But, she's a few years younger than me, so she's not in a hurry to get married. I'm the one who can't wait. As someone with experience, do you have any advice for me?]Keegan responded, [Just go with the flow. It's something that can't be rushed.]Vermont rolled his eyes and typed, [Did you text me just to tell me this?]Keegan replied, [No. I just wanted to ask how many kids do you plan to have?]Vermont rested his chin on his hand. [I haven't really thought about that. It depends on Miss Bandit. If she wants one, then we'll have one. Of course, having a son and a daughter would be ideal for me, but I don't want her to suffer the process of pregnancy twice.]Keegan agreed. [It'd be great if they could give birth to two babies. Then, they'd only have to suffer it once.]Vermont laughed, as he replied, [Hahaha. Do you have any idea how low the chances of having twins are?][I looked it up. The probability o
Chandler was shocked. After looking at how nonchalant and indifferent Keegan was, he fell into disbelief and said, "You're planning to use this incident for publicity?"Keegan replied flatly, "Chandler, have you already forgotten the time you ordered Jackson to donate expired bread after the earthquake happened in Langetown not long ago? Our reputation that was built over the decades and the countless donations we've made all went down the drain."Our PR team is still trying to resolve the negative impact you have caused the company. Now, I finally have a chance to turn things around. Chandler, as a businessman yourself, what do you think a businessman would do?"Chandler's expression turned ugly. "Keegan Kane, have you lost your mind after falling into the water? Are you seriously going to use your biological mother for a publicity stunt? Are you crazy?"Keegan played with the Newton's cradle on his desk and smiled with his gaze lowered. Then, he calmly said, "My mom has always wa
Chandler sneered, "Keegan Kane, don't try to mess with me. It was your slave's fault for standing in my way!"Keegan's gaze darkened. "Well, it seems like you don't want to settle this privately."He took out his phone and dialed 911, as he spoke. "Hello, my assistant was physically assaulted by someone, and I'd like to make a report about it. My name is Keegan Kane, and my ID number..."Chandler's expression changed. While Keegan was still talking on the phone, Chandler said, "Keegan Kane, are you out of your mind? Did you seriously just call the police for that?"Keegan glanced at him and proceeded to tell the operator his ID number.It did not seem as if he was pretending at all, and Chandler was afraid of escalating the situation. Chandler had finally managed to gain some advantage before Keegan returned, making Keegan feel somewhat threatened.However, after Jackson donated those expired bread to Langetown, the incident pushed those advantages back down.He was in a crucial
