Female Novel
Chapter 1564
Chapter 1564But that's impossible,’ thought Keegan, as he noticed a shift in Dahlia's demeanor.
All these changes were merely due to Stella now being recognized as the Saun family heiress. This newfound status instilled asense of caution in Dahlia regarding her past actions.
She was apprehensive that Stella might spill the beans to the Saun family, and they would hold her accountable.
Keegan had mentioned this issue to Stella before. He told her that her condition would be revealed sooner or later. "It would bebest if you could tell the Saun family about your health. | promise | won't interfere," he said.
Stella had acknowledged his concerns, but she never brought it up with the Saun family.
Keegan was well aware of why she did not want to discuss it. She feared that the Saun family might point fingers at him for whattranspired. After all, it happened right under his nose. He did not protect her properly.
While Stella swore she would take matters into her own hands, she had actually shown leniency long ago because of the familialties between him and Dahlia. She did not want to escalate the situation.
Keegan understood that Stella giving up her pursuit of holding Dahlia accountable was a compromise she madefor the sake of their relationship. However, his mother was not one to do the same. Before the Sauns publicly
acknowledged Stella as their long-lost daughter, she had tried every means to set him up with Jaylene. She even resorted todrugging him.
Once Stella was brought back into the Saun family, Dahlia never brought up this matter again. She accused Stella of beingmaterialistic and chasing after his wealth. However, the one who truly wielded his riches as a means of control and even withheldemotional responses was Dahlia.
‘There is no way she has changed.’Dahlia watched Keegan's gaze shift from distant to cold, and she felt uneasy.
"| had a bias against Stella due to the Jewell family. Back then, | believed that you didn't have feelings for her either. It was just asense of duty. You even said it yourself that it's the same whoever you marry."
"| never said such a thing," Keegan said icily."You did!" Aurora interjected. "You said that when we all went out to eat after my graduation trip.”
Dahlia scolded her in a hushed tone. "Don't interrupt our conversation. Please step out for a moment."
Aurora pouted and hesitantly left the ward.Keegan had a good memory and quickly recalled that past event.
At that time, Stella was in the midst of divorcing him, and the atmosphere between them was tense. She reluctantlyaccompanied him to the banquet and even bit him in the bathroom halfway through the event. As for what was said during themeal...
Keegan remembered that Aurora was once again complaining about Stella in front of her, and he grew tired of hearing it. At thattime, Dahlia did not intervene. In fact, she added, "Forget about being knowledgeable and refined. She should be able to takecare of your daily needs at the very least. Why did you agree to marry her? She’s a full-time housewife, yet she doesn't evencook or clean. Your grandma might be good at analyzing someone, but there are times when even she might make a mistake."novelbin
Keegan found it amusing at the time. ‘Isn't she a full-time housewife herself? How many times had she cooked for the family inher lifetime? She's literally the same. Why is she complaining about Stella now when I'm the one marrying her?”
Keegan did not want to argue with Dahlia about this matter, so he lazily replied, "With your standards, whoever | marry wouldn'tmake a difference."
Many of the ladies in high societies were pampered and coddled. Not a lot of them could actually cook. According to Dahlia'srequirements, not one of them would meet her standards to be her daughter-in-law. That was what Keegan meant when he saidthose words.
