Chapter 769
Chapter 769Keegan was speechless."That’s not the perfect answer. That's just a lie."
Keegan seriously pondered before he spoke, "Humans can only be responsible for someone else's life if that person can protecthimself. Or else, it'd just be empty talk. | can tell you these kinds of deceptive words as many times as you want. But when itreally happens, | can't promise you what I'll do. Because human instinct is to protect oneself in a crisis."
He paused before he whispered, "I'm not sure what my instinct will be. But, even if my instinct is to protect myself, I'll be willing tolive and die with you. =
Initially, Stella felt a little uncomfortable when she heard him say he would choose to protect himself. But after hearing what hesaid later on, she suddenly felt relieved.
Keegan did not like hypothetical questions. But he seriously answered that question, so it meant that he seriously thought aboutit.
Back then, she saw a video online. A car accident happened on a highway. The car that had two elderly people in it caught fire.
The man escaped from the car. But the woman was still trapped in it. The fire was huge. The man could not get the woman out ofthe car. He was losing his mind outside of the car. He was crying like a kid before he decisively went back into the car. He died inthe fire with the woman in the end.
The man did not choose to save his lover immediately. But it did not mean that he did not care about her.
It was human instinct to escape. But after he escaped, he still went back to the fire even though he knew he would die. That waslove.
One must love himself before he could love someone else. This was Keegan's view on love.
If someone told her this story back then, she would think that the person was selfish. She would think it was because that persondid not love the other person enough. But now, she felt that this was a healthy concept of love.
Stella thought to herself, 'l thought love meant that the person would live and die for you. He'd tell you that you're more importantthan his own life. And once he stopped loving you, he'd also see you as a pain in the ass and a thorn in his flesh.
‘If you love someone, you'd want them to live forever. But if you hate someone, you'd want them dead.‘| always thought that | knew a lot about love. But in reality, my perception of love was childish and laughable."Keegan was worried when he saw her silent for so long. He softly asked,’ Are you angry?"
‘Actually, | could've just said something else to lie to her. Just like back then, | actually cared about her, but | pretended that |didn't care.
‘| always felt that if | admitted that | cared about her, and if she didn't respond to that, it'd put me at a disadvantage. | was toofussy about this.
‘But love isn't measured by gains or losses.
‘| realized this too late. | don't dare hide anything from her anymore. I'm afraid she'll block me again if | do something wrong.’Stella snapped out of her thoughts. She stared at Keegan's worried eyes. She was suddenly amused.
"He wasn't afraid that I'd get angry when he said that. But he's worried after he said it?’novelbin
Stella intentionally said with a straight face, "If I'm angry, what'll you do?"
As expected, Keegan was upset. After pondering, he said, "I'll take back what | just said then. I'll listen to whatever you say.""| heard everything you said! Moreover, you're a CEO. You can't just take back what you said."
Keegan frowned as he thought hard about it. He whispered, "You just forget about what I said then. You have a bad memoryanyway."
Stella was speechless.She still wanted to say something. But she suddenly noticed Keegan's back was completely drenched with the rain.
She paused for a moment. She took out her phone to send Felicity a text. [ Hey, gorgeous, bring me an umbrella when you'redone eating. It's raining heavily. | can't go home.]
Felicity was drunk at that moment.She hid the bottle of Lafite that Vermont brought. After that, she took out a bottle of white wine and started drinking with Vermont.
When he saw his wine which was worth tens of thousands of dollars was replaced with a white wine that cost less than ahundred dollars, the corner of his eye twitched.
