Stella was asleep when Keegan came back. Only a warm yellow lamp was left in the room. He took off his coat, threw it on the couch, walked to the bedside, and sat down.Stella could feel Keegan's gaze, even though her back was facing him. She frowned and was a little irritable.A faint smell of perfume wafted from Keegan's body. It was the same scent as Bella's. Stella recalled some unpleasant past memories because she had just chatted with Marshall just now. She was already irritable, but she became even more irritable when she smelled that scent on Keegan's body, 'Damn it. Why don't you wash up instead of just sitting on the bedside and staring at me? It's annoying!' Stella cursed inwardly.After an unknown time, Keegan threw off the quilt and held her wrist. When Stella was about to withdraw her hand, he gently applied a cool liquid on her wrist with his palm.Stella was startled for a moment. Then, she withdrew her hand.Keegan seemed to know that she was awake. When he saw th
Keegan held a flashlight and lit up the room. At a glance, he saw Stella kneeling on the ground in a mess and calling him with reddened eyes. With a tremor in his heart, he closed the cabin door and strode up to Stella. He held her hand and wanted to pull her into the safety seat. But Stella sat on the ground without moving.Keegan said furiously, "Do you know what's happening right now? Can't you stop acting out?"Stella said aggrievedly, "Who's acting out? My leg hurts, and I can't move."With the flashlight, Keegan saw that Stella's legs were bruised. There were marks on her legs from the impact. 'No wonder she grabbed the seat but did not sit on it. She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up,' thought Keegan"Hold it." Keegan handed Stella the flashlight. She lost her strength to argue at that moment and held the flashlight obediently.Originally, Keegan wanted to be mean to Stella, but seeing her in such a state made him change his mind. He quickly moved to her side,
Keegan was left speechless. He felt angry but also funny at the same time. After a long time, he said, "You really hate to lose. Why do you think I came back at this hour? You would be bumping around until you turn stupid if I didn't come back. By then, I don't want to take a fool home after spending so much money."After he finished, he thought about it and said, "Actually, you're already stupid enough, even without the bumps. Normal people would have already stayed in the safety seat obediently."Stella was speechless. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to go out and see how my great-grandfather is doing. Who knew the ship would suddenly shake so badly?""He's more conscious than you. He put on the life jacket immediately and sat in the safety seat quietly.""How did you know?"Keegan said flatly, "That's where I came from."Stella was surprised. "You went to great grandpa?"Her tone sounded like that was weird. Keegan frowned and said, "Where else can I go?"Stella smil
"I checked the house purchase contract before. You spent over 40 million when you bought it. The premium of the house over the years should be worth 60 million. While the decoration and other expenses should cost about 3 million, right? In that case, you can deduct 70 million from my one billion when you transfer the ownership of the house to me. The extra payment will be the mutual affection between husband and wife over the years. I definitely won't take advantage of you," said Stella.Keegan was angry, but he could not do anything at the same time. 'Damn! She really surprises me unexpectedly every time. She plans to drive me out of the marital house even though we haven't divorced!'70 million? How dare she tell me that? I did spend over 40 million when I bought the house. But that was the price eight years ago. The house price in the area that I bought these years has skyrocketed. The value of that house alone has already reached 130 million. She cut the price in half when she st
Stella suddenly felt like laughing. She found that Keegan's tone was like a kid throwing a tantrum. She obviously would not say it to his face, as Keegan would have lost his temper. Hence, she coaxed him softly, "Mr. Kane. I'm so sorry. Please don't be mad at me. I'm still counting on you to make money and support me. How could I bear to let you die? I'll be heartbroken even if you get scratched. Is it alright if I pull you over here? You can get back to being angry with me once you get in the safety seat."Her apology was not sincere at all. Keegan knew that, but her sweet-talking still tangled him up. Keegan looked at her thin arm and thin legs. "Will you be able to handle me?""Don't look down on me. I'm strong!"Keegan glanced at her long white legs and thought to himself. 'Well, those legs are indeed not weak.' He untied the bed sheet and tossed it to Stella. "Tie this end to the safety seat."Stella followed as he said. Keegan tugged the bed sheet to ensure it was firm and pu
Stella instantly kept quiet. The boat was still swaying. Keegan's warm body temperature behind her back made her feel safe. She unconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep.The thunderstorm lasted until midnight, and Stella woke up lying on the bed. She moved and found Keegan's hand on her waist while both of them were still tied to the bed sheet. Keegan must have tied them up during their sleep to avoid being thrown out or knocked into things. She untied the bed sheet, washed herself, and went out without waking Keegan.The deck was a mess. Fishes, shrimps, and crabs were washed up on board by the wind, and the crew was busy cleaning up. Stella knocked on Arthur's room, but only Aldor was in the room packing the luggage."Where is my great grandpa?" Stella asked.Aldor replied, "He went on deck to get some seafood. He said he was going to make some seafood soup."Stella was speechless. 'Isn't Arthur nearly ninety? His energy is even better than mine. And I'm still young.'She
"He looks better than Keegan too. Why didn't you fall for him back then?"Stella was speechless. 'What was this old man thinking?'"Mr. Moore is Keegan's friend. Please don't talk nonsense here, great-grandpa. People might misunderstand.""I'm just saying," Arthur slowly replied. "Keegan's not bad either. He was playing chess with me the whole night yesterday. Although he ran back the moment he heard the thunderstorms, there's still hope for him."Stella was once again speechless. 'There's still hope for him? What kind of comment is this?'By the time they got back, Keegan was done packing, and he left the room. Everyone was enjoying the time left since there were only a few more hours before the ship docked.Bella was singing enthusiastically to the audience in the restaurant, so she could wipe away her past humiliation. Well, to say the least, although Bella was horrible at acting, she could sing. After all, she did release a single. It was just that she would steal glances at
