Chapter 2002

Stella said sarcastically, "What do you think? You're almost shoving all your scars in my face. How stupid do | have to be not toknow what you're trying to do?"

Keegan lifted his gaze and looked at her gently, "Why aren't you angry then?

"Why should I? Am | a little kid to you who only knows how to throw a tantrum?" Stella glared at him and continued, "I'm angrythat you recovered your memory but hid it from me. I'm also very heartbroken for everything you went through.

Why would | be angry just because you're showing me your scars just so | won't ask you about what happened? Should | beangry at you for getting yourself hurt from protecting me? Each of those scars is like a stab to my heart."

Keegan paused and immediately explained, "That's not what | was trying to do-" "Of course, | know you didn't mean it that way. |wouldn't be in love with you if you were such a cunning person. You pretended to have lost your memory, and | ended up havingto cover for you. | know exactly what kind of person you are."

Keegan kept quiet for a moment before he said, "It doesn't sound like you're praising me."

Stella chuckled. Then, she suddenly leaned over and lifted his chin, "Why not? I'm very curious. You could come up with anexcuse to trick me into getting the marriage certificate with you. Yet when you saw Spencer, you couldn't control yourself. Whydid you give up pretending to lose your memory right away?"

Keegan looked somewhat awkward. Under Stella's teasing gaze, he said through gritted teeth, “He'll take you away from me if |don't stop pretending!"

Stella could not stop laughing as she mocked him, "Oh when you lost your memory, you were the one who insisted on breakingoff our engagement and told me to get back together with him. You sounded selfless back then, but you've become so petty afterrecovering your memory."

Keegan was taken aback. Every nonsensical thing he said when he lost his memory was backfiring at him.

Then, he said in a low voice, "The medicine influenced me at that time, and my mind was not clear. Let's forget about what | saidback then, okay?" "Sure."

Unexpectedly, Stella did not put up a fight, leaving Keegan somewhat surprised.However, he soon found out why she acted that way.

She added, "So, why did you get so close to Jaylene after losing your memory? You even scolded me because of her andplanned to take her to ride Juno. When | told you | wanted to do the same, you said that | was too fat and would squash Juno.

"Also, you gave her the cherry hairpin | bought. | guess your lost memories came with real feelings, huh?"Keegan suddenly felt like he was struck by thunder, leaving him blinded for a moment.

“How could | possibly have feelings for her? | was just playing along; | never intended to take her to Juno. And | didn't say youwere fat; | just wanted you to talk to me more, but you just ignored me afterward."

His response left Stella utterly speechless.“Were you really expecting me to do that after you called me fat? Do | look insane to you?"

Keegan replied weakly, "Vermont used to tell me not to accept a girl's request too quickly. He said that girls would normally beextra charming when they wanted something. That would only be the time to say yes."

Stella was puzzled. Then, she said, "Are you sure that you weren't just mocking me?”

Keegan slouched his shoulders, "I didn’t think that much." After that, he added cautiously, "I'll take you to ride Juno tomorrow,okay?"

Stella replied, "Good idea. Maybe we'll be able to meet our two babies ahead of schedule then."

Keegan was taken aback.

Then, he immediately came up with another suggestion, "Let's wait until you've fully recovered after giving birth, and then I'll takeyou."

He massaged Stella's leg with even more effort as he said that. While massaging, he suddenly said, "Actually, | know how to playthe piano too."

Stella was puzzled.

"We haven't played a four-hand piece together yet."

Stella got even more confused upon hearing that.

“But you and Marshall played Lyphard Melody at the concert."novelbin

It was only then Stella realized that Keegan was being jealous.

He continued, "I know how to play that piece. | can even play it better than him.” Then, he muttered softly, "Weren't you only intojewelry? Since when you started liking music?"

Stella held her laughter back. She reached out to pinch Keegan's face and squinted playfully, "Mr. Kane, was it tough to keep thisto yourself for so long? It's been so long since the concert, and you're only feeling jealous now?"

Keegan kissed her hand, "| wanted to bring it up long ago, but | was afraid that others might see through my act."

Then, he asked a question that had been bothering him, "When did you realize that | had recovered my memory? | didn't evendare to look at you too much just to make my act more convincing."

Stella gazed at him with a half-smile and said, "Do you really want to know?
