Stella came out from the dormitory building. She thought that the doorman would ask her some questions when she came out. But, he pretended as though he did not see her. She came out very easily.Just when she walked to the entrance, the light rays of a car nearby suddenly hit on her body.The car then slowly drove to her. Someone opened the door from inside the car. Keegan tilted his head and looked at her."Get in," he said.Stella did not move. "I came out to say something to you. Go back immediately! Don't make trouble for me here!"Keegan glanced at Aldor, and Aldor immediately honked twice.The extremely loud sound was very clear on the empty road at night.The security guard in the guard room poked his head out. He loudly said, "What are you doing out here? Why aren't you back in the dorm?"He then grabbed a flashlight and shined it in their direction. Stella felt guilty, and she hurriedly went into the car.Aldor hastily locked the doors.Yolanda, who was holding her
Actually, at that time, she was already not angry with Keegan. But, coincidentally, Aurora went to her house to take some documents. She talked sarcastically to Stella. So, out of spite, Stella said she could afford the stuff and that she did not need Keegan to buy it for her.Aurora took the stuff away after that. Stella did not even know what was in the box.She truly had a bad memory.Stella pursed her lips in dilemma. She racked her brain and gave another example, "Back then, I accidentally used your fork for planting. And, I bought you a new one. If you didn't like it, you could've just told me. Why did you throw it away?"The tip of Keegan's tongue started to feel pain when she mentioned that. "You're one to talk. You spent nine dollars and ninety cents to buy this kind of fork. There was a big spike on the fork. Did you not see that? It scratched my tongue!"Stella was speechless.Now, she felt a little guilty. She softly said, "Mine was quite nice to use."Keegan coldly
Stella was astounded after she got in the car.There was a table full of food in the car. There was even a candlestick in the middle of the table. Beside the candlestick, there was a tiny vase with a white rose in it.Stella spoke without thinking, "You're so old-fashioned. You prepared a candlelit dinner?"Keegan was speechless.Stella turned her head and looked at him. Then, she suddenly kept quiet.She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But, before she could speak, her stomach growled.Keegan glanced at her. "Your stomach is more honest than your mouth."Stella was speechless.She pulled her hair, and she suddenly felt unaccustomed.Stella and Keegan knew each other for many years. He was not romantic at all.One year, on Keegan's birthday, she bought a bunny girl outfit to make him happy.She wore it. But, Keegan started to discuss whether that outfit was a bunny girl outfit or a fox girl outfit.Because the ears on the headband were too short, Keegan thought
But, there were things that she could not avoid too.Stella was full of thoughts as she kept eating.Keegan looked at her. He suddenly put down his fork as he murmured, "Stop eating."Stella was stunned. She swallowed the food in her mouth before she said, "You prepared the food for me. But now, you won't let me eat it?"Keegan gave her a glass of tea. "You ate quite a lot. You'll feel uncomfortable sleeping at night if you continue eating."Keegan paused before he continued, "Did you intentionally keep eating because you don't want to talk to me?"Stella was speechless, and she thought, 'Was it that obvious?'She lowered her eyes without speaking. She grabbed the glass and took a sip.She was actually very full. If Keegan did not stop her, she would probably feel bloated from overeating."Stella," Keegan softly called her. His voice was a little alluring. "There's nothing between Bella and me. I make her famous because she's useful to me. She can help someone who's very impor
Keegan's lips trembled slightly, and he had bloodshot eyes.Stella was like a gust of sand. No matter how he tried to grab it, he would lose her through his fingers.Other than that time when his father passed away, this was the first time he felt powerless. He was flustered and scared.His voice was hoarse. "Didn't you ask grandma that? She said she didn't mind."Stella shook her head. "I was just probing her. She might not take it seriously. Just think about it. How is it possible for a family like yours to allow you to not have a child? Others will give you weird looks."Keegan stared at her for a long time. He then said in a deep voice, "You talked about what grandma would think from the beginning until now, and you talked about others. But, what about you? What do you think?"You're right. I care about what grandma thinks. But, the one who'll be living with me for the rest of my life is you. Your answer is the most important."Children aren't that important. If you want to
Keegan didn't stop. He kept asking, "Is it Marshall? Or Trevor?"Remembering Vermont's wish for Stella to have a sister made Keegan tense up all over. "Could it be Vermont?"Stella felt irritated, thinking, 'Does he want to guess every man I know?'"Who is it exactly?" Keegan persisted in asking.Stella furrowed her brows, and she said, "What's the point in you asking this? Regardless of who it is, it isn't you.""I need to know what's the difference between the other person and me," Keegan said stubbornly. "What made you choose the other person and not me?"Frustrated, Stella tugged at her hair. 'Why does Keegan always act unpredictably? Shouldn't he leave angrily, considering his pride? He put his pride aside to say these things to me, yet I still turned him down. Why is he so insistent on asking?'Keegan noticed her expression and suddenly guessed, "It's Trevor, isn't it?"Just after our divorce, he rushed to sign the contract with you. He wouldn't let me get involved in any
Stella's ears burned as she pushed his hand away. "Did I agree to this? Keegan, this behavior is called harassment."Keegan blinked rapidly. Just when Stella was about to leave, thinking she had wounded his pride, Keegan adopted a deep voice through gritted teeth by her ear, "You're lying!"Confused, Stella asked, "What did I lie about?"Keegan's eyes blazed with anger. "Of course, you wouldn't remember anything."Furrowing her brow, Stella asked, "Remember what?"'What's going on?' Stella thought.Keegan's expression turned sour. "The things you said to me. Have you ever meant them?"Keegan's pained and hurt expression made Stella feel oddly uneasy. The trouble was, she couldn't grasp Keegan's point."What did I say?" She asked once more.Keegan clenched his jaw. After a long pause, he gritted through his teeth, "You said that if you ever didn't want me anymore, I could still try to win you back. You thought you'd have a soft spot and wouldn't want to reject me. But now, you
Stella was shocked and slapped his chest. She then angrily said, "Keegan, what are you doing?"Keegan did not say a word and put her on the bed. Stella's eyelids fluttered violently. 'This mongrel, he wouldn't be doing something out of frustration because he failed his pursuant, right?'Keegan had his palms supporting the bed frame. Under Stella's watchful gaze, he lowered his head and gave her a peck on her forehead. Seeing that Stella did not refuse or reject him, Keegan suddenly felt delighted.He said, "You can reject me, but I reject your rejection of me."Stella was speechless. 'This guy put me here just to do this?' she thought.After he finished speaking, Keegan lay down next to her. The mattress was not very wide. Keegan's physique was large, and he could only lie down on his side. His body was very close to hers. It was so close that Stella could feel his breath and hear his powerful heartbeat. His heart thumped again and again. It was completely different from the calm
