Female Novel
Chapter 2090
Keegan looked at her, his eyes blank and lost. After a long pause, he spoke hoarsely, ’Stella, Coco’s father is gone. | can't fulfillthe promise | made to her anymore."
Stella was stunned. "What did you say?"
With his eyes filled with sorrow, Keegan told her a secret, "Six years ago, the person who fell to his death at The Hox Club wasCoco's father."
Stella was struck by this news and could not process it. Then, she murmured, "So, Coco isn't Mr. Moore's child, huh?"Keegan was taken aback. "What wild ideas are you coming up with?"
Stella said, "I thought Mr. Moore and the undercover cop had a fight and got into a car accident together, and Willow asked youto take care of their child before she died."
Keegan was at a loss for words."When did | ever say that Coco is Marshall's daughter?"Stella swallowed. "Isn't Coco Mr. Moore's child with his ex-girlfriend who got into the car accident with him?"
Keegan massaged his temple and said, "They broke up for a year before the accident. Who would want to have a child with theirex?"
He suddenly paused. Then, he asked her, "How did you know about Willow? Hnovelbin
Stella blinked her eyes. "Did | say anything about Willow? | think you heard wrongly.”
Keegan remained calm. "You did! You said that Willow asked me to take care of her child! Who told you that?”"Haha, who told me what?" Stella chuckled awkwardly. "No one told me anything.”
Keegan scrutinized her and said, "It was Vermont, the blabbermouth, isn't it?"
Stella looked away. "I didn't say that."
Keegan muttered under his breath and asked, "What else did he tell you?"
“Nothing much. He just said that he wasn't in Rivera when that accident happened and briefly told me about Willow and Mr.Moore breaking up, and then there was the car accident. | assumed the other things on my own."
Stella then shifted the topic. "So, what's the truth? Can you tell me about it now?"
Keegan remained silent for a while before telling her a completely different story from what Vermont had told her.
The Moore family did not approve of Willow being with Marshall, which decisively led her to break up with him. She was alwaysan independent and strong-willed lady, so there was no way she could accept the disdain and prejudice from her boyfriend'sfamily regarding her background.
Willow initiated the breakup, but Marshall could not accept it, which caused a strain on his relationship with his family. Then, oneday, Willow disappeared suddenly without saying anything.
Marshall was deeply affected and fell ill, expecting bouts of illness. He was in a daze the whole period until he met her againover a year later.
Then, he suddenly called Keegan to say that Willow wanted to study abroad with him and asked for his help to renew herpassport.
