Chapter 1890

Stella was surprised.

“You sound like… a pretty experienced dad.”

Keegan said, “I don’t want our baby to be a troublemaker like Coco. Our child is going to be a veryobedient one.”

Stella kept quiet.

After a long pause, she said, “You’re very picky, aren’t you?”

‘How can I possibly decide what the baby’s personality will be like?’ Stella thought to herself.

“I think Coco is very adorable,” Stella added.

Keegan snorted, “She’s just pretending to be good in front of you. She always does that when she asksme to bring her to see you.”

Stella was shocked. “When did Coco know about me?”

“After we took our wedding photos, she kept pestering me to see them. So, I showed her.” Keegan gota little angry, as he continued, “She said you look good, but I look like a zombie. Even if she was sick,she insisted on sneaking out of the hospital to see you. And then, she got hit by an electric bike.

“Even though she has anemia, she can be very naughty.”

Stella paused upon hearing Keegan’s words, as she slowly pieced together the truth of what happenedduring their wedding night.

Coco sneaked out to the wedding venue, got hit by a bike, and needed a blood transfusion. However,Coco’s caretaker could not reach Keegan, so that person contacted Bella, who had donated blood to

Coco before.

Bella, who had always been resentful of Keegan marrying a woman who came out of nowhere, saw itas a perfect opportunity to ruin the wedding. So, right before Keegan went on stage, she approachedhim and told him about it.

That was the reason why Keegan left the wedding hastily with Bella.

After many years, although she and Keegan had deep feelings for each other, she could not help butbe bothered by the fact that Keegan left her alone during their wedding night. After all, that was one ofthe most important days in her life.

But now, knowing that it was because of Coco, that cute little girl, her lingering resentment slowlydisappeared.

With that in mind, Stella looked at Keegan and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.“Who are Coco’s parents?”

Keegan paused and clenched his fists without saying anything in response.

Stella asked again in a low voice, “Even until now, are you still not willing to tell me?”

Keegan shook his head. “It’s not that I’m not willing to. It’s that I can’t; at least not now.”

Keegan embraced her. “Stella, Coco did not come from an ordinary family.novelbin

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been hiding and raising her away from the public. I promised her family thatI’d make sure she grew up safe and healthy. This is a promise I cannot break, no matter what.”

‘It’s not that he doesn’t want to tell me. It’s because he can’t…

‘Who could Coco’s parents be that Keegan has to be so secretive about it?’ Stella wondered.

Keegan hugged her tighter. “Stella, stop asking me about it because I don’t want to lie to you. I can’tbreak my promise. It was me who couldn’t stop…” i ‘Stop… what?’ Stella thought.

She then tried to ask him about it, but he just would not say anything.

‘He’s just pretending to be drunk, isn’t he?

‘It seems like he knows just the right time to doze off,’ Stella thought to herself.

She closed her eyes and tried to chase away the frustration in her heart.

Although she liked Coco, she felt somewhat uncomfortable living with an unidentified child.

She saw the troubled look on Keegan’s face and sighed. “I won’t ask you about this anymore, but Ihave one last question. Are Coco’s family members people I know?”

Keegan shook his head. “No.”

Stella stared at him for a while, trying to find traces of lies in his eyes. However, his gaze appearedclear, open, and honest.

“Fine, I’ll believe you this time. If you lied to me…” Stella paused before she continued, “I’ll punish youby… leaving you forever.”

Keegan grabbed her hand and gently kissed it. “I’ll never lie to you about things like this. Never,” hesaid in a hoarse voice.
