Chapter 1736
Coco was anxious to know Keegan's answer.
Keegan glanced toward her room and proceeded to recite a string of numbers.This left Coco utterly confused. "What are you saying now?"
"The barcode for your sketchbook," Keegan responded.
Coco was baffled.
Keegan lifted his index finger, gently tapped his temple, and said, "I thought you liked reading about people with superpowers.Do you know some people can remember things at a glance? I'm one of them." i
Coco did not respond. ‘How did he go from having amnesia to being so annoying?’ she thought.Keegan ruffled her hair and walked away, phone in hand.
Meanwhile, Stella turned around to see Marshall in the driver's seat of an MPV.
Stella walked over. "Mr. Moore, what are you doing here?"
Marshall smiled, saying, "I actually came here to see you. | was thinking of giving you a call, but then | unexpectedly saw you atthe entrance."’
Stella was taken aback. "You're here to meet me?”novelbin
Marshall nodded. "Yeah. You mentioned earlier about
accompanying me to apologize to Mr. Saun."
"Oh, right. | completely forgot about that."
Marshall looked at her with a mild gaze and asked, "Is today okay for you?" ’
"Ye-" Stella paused, suddenly recalling what Coco had mentioned to her earlier. After a moment of consideration, she altered herresponse. "I've just come back from a trip with my friend and really need some rest. How about
tomorrow? My dad should be free then; it's the weekend."Marshall nodded. "Alright."Stella grinned.
Marshall hesitated for a moment, then lowered his eyes. "It's been long since I've seen you smile like this. Keegan's returnseems to have improved every aspect of your life." 4
Stella's smile faded a bit at the mention of that name. Her expression turned serious. "I've caused you a lot of trouble during thistime. | appreciate your help and will forever remember your kindness. If there's anything | can do for you, please don't hesitate tolet me know."
"Anything?"
"Yes. I'd do anything as long as it's within my capacity," Stella replied.
Marshall smiled. "| don't need you to do anything for me. | just... If Keegan never regains his memory, could you give me achance?" 3
Stella was taken aback. She said, "I'm sorry. I—"
"Stella, don't turn me down so quickly," he said, looking at her affectionately. ‘Did you know | was crazy about you after our firstencounter at Rotona Pinnacle Hospital? | thought it was fate to encounter you three times in a week. | wondered if | could takeour connection further during our fourth or fifth encounter."
“However, | learned about you being Keegan's wife during the charity banquet. I've been trying hard to keep my feelings in checksince then. But now, with this chance ahead of me, | want to pursue it, even if the odds aren't great." 1
Stella couldn't deny being touched by his words. She'd never heard such a tender and heartfelt confession before. In contrast,Keegan had always been awkwardly direct. He had kept his emotions hidden until after their divorce. 2
Marshall had consistently been calm and kind. He would understand if she refused. He had been accommodating andunderstanding, even when she used him to try and win Keegan back. Stella felt guilty for causing him pain each time she turnedhim down. 2
Looking down, Stella took a moment before saying, "If things don't work out between Keegan and me in the end, and you stillfeel the same way, we can give it a try."”
Stella was pregnant. She believed that no man would be okay with her being pregnant with another man's child.’ Marshallappears keen at the moment, but I'm sure his enthusiasm will fade once my pregnancy starts showing in a few months. He'llprobably turn down the idea of us by then.’
