Female Novel
Chapter 1913
Chapter 1913Stella was puzzled."Keegan Kane, what are you doing?”
Her unexpected voice startled Keegan, causing his hand to slip. Then, the wine bottle fell to the ground. He coughed a fewtimes, and a faint blush appeared on his fair face.
He paused, bent down, and picked up the wine bottle while pretending to be calm. "I'm thirsty," he said softly.Stella glanced at the water purifier behind him and was speechless.
‘It looks like he can't tell the difference between alcohol and water now, huh?’ she thought to herself.“Keegan, let's-"
Before Stella could say that she wanted to go home with him, Keegan cut her off while rubbing his temples. My head hurts."
Stella was at a loss for words.
‘Well, didn't he sound powerful when he told me to shut up just now? And now, he suddenly became so weak?’ Stella thought toherself.
Stella scrutinized Keegan, and a strange speculation suddenly emerged in her mind-could it be that Keegan was pretending tobe drunk to gloss over what happened?
"He sounded like he was all that earlier, and now he wants me back?’ Stella thought inwardly.
"Oh," Stella said. Then, she sarcastically added, "Your head hurts, huh? | should call your beloved Jaylene over, so she can giveyou a massage.”
Keegan frowned. "Quit speaking nonsense."Stella snorted, walked past him, and wanted to leave.However, Keegan stopped her. "W-Where are you sleeping tonight?"
Stella stopped walking and looked at him with a half-smile." Why do you ask? Is your beloved Jaylene angry because I've beensleeping at your place? Do you not want me to stay with you anymore? I'm sorry, but | won't let things go your way. | don't carehow angry your beloved Jaylene is going to be."
Keegan's eyes lit up, and he could barely contain the joy in his eyes. Then, he immediately looked away and said in a cold tone,"Whatever."novelbin
Although he looked calm, his sliding Adam's apple revealed his true emotions. He would always look like this whenever he wasnervous or excited.
‘And, he dared to judge my acting skills? Hmph!’ Stella said to herself.When they were leaving, the whole family came out to see them off.
Stella had a cold expression, looking extremely displeased. However, Jaylene seemed very happy even though the handprint onher face from Stella's slap had not faded. As they walked to the gate, Jaylene stayed close to Keegan and kept chatting with him.
Trevor looked at his sister, and then at Jaylene and Keegan. Suddenly, he noticed that the left side of Jaylene's face lookedlarger than the right as if it was swollen.
Then, he immediately shifted his gaze back to Stella's face.’ Hm. Both sides look the same,’ he felt relieved, as he thought tohimself.
When they were getting into the car, Keegan took the initiative to open the rear passenger door for her.However, Stella ignored him and went to the other side of the car to open the door herself.
Jaylene watched what happened and subtly smirked.
On their way back home, Stella remained unusually silent, which seemed somewhat strange.
Keegan thought that she would definitely make some sarcastic remarks after what had happened.
Although she did do that when she saw him drinking the bottle of wine in the kitchen earlier, Keegan could tell that she "took iteasy" on him.
Keegan coughed lightly.
But, Stella did not react to that at all.
Keegan coughed again.
Yet, still no response from Stella.
He continued to cough repeatedly.
Stella then finally lifted her head and said, "What's wrong with you? Do you have lung cancer?"Keegan choked, hesitated, and then said, "Do you want to go for a walk to digest better? You ate quite a lot just now."Stella kept quiet.
Then, she smiled and said, "Say that again."
Keegan pursed his lips and spoke again after a brief pause." | ate quite a lot just now."
Stella scoffed. "Where are we going for a walk?"
Keegan was taken aback.
"She agreed?
‘Why isn’t she angry at all?’ Keegan wondered to himself.
