Chapter 1696

Jaylene’s expression stiffened. “That’s not what I meant,” she said.

“Then just play the role of a bystander. Don’t get involved in their affairs,”

Marshall replied.

Jaylene’s complexion did not look good. She walked over to her brother and called out, Trevor.”

Trevor looked at her coldly, “And you claimed you didn’t know where he was.

Hah.”

Jaylene turned pale, “Trevor, I had no choice at the time. I wanted to say something, but Keegan’s condition was so bad.I-” i “Enough!” Darcie interrupted her. “Save it for when we get back.”

Wenham’s expression was already grim. Even if Jaylene’s intentions were unclear to him before, they were now unmistakable, i Darcie had to stop her from continuing to avoid an embarrassing situation, especially since they were at Cordelia’s residence.

Jaylene closed her mouth immediately. She bit her lips and stood beside Darcie with red eyes.

Stella walked behind Keegan, intending to help him with the wheelchair.

However, just as she touched the handles, he said, “I can manage.”

Stella hesitated momentarily but ignored his wishes and pushed the wheelchair forward, “You used to say that the first thing a person should do is fulfill their duties. Your duty now is to be a paraplegic.

Don’t act strong in situations like these.”

Keegan was shocked to hear that, “What do you mean, paraplegic? You’re being really harsh.”

“Is that so?” Stella said indifferently. “You like it when I speak harshly; that’s why you got together with me.

Although, I find what I said kinda romantic.”

Keegan did not know what to say.

Stella skillfully pushed him into the study. Then she turned around and headed for the door.

Keegan was puzzled, “Aren’t you here to talk? Where are you going?”

Stella did not speak. After locking the study, she walked back to Keegan.

“What do you want to talk about?”

Stella remained silent. She went up to Keegan, leaning over using the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair to push herself up. After that, she backed the wheelchair against the desk.

Keegan found himself trapped between the wheelchairand Stella. They were in extremely close proximity; he could even smell the faint scent of her shampoo.

Instinctively, he leaned back and opened his mouth to speak, but Stella suddenly reached out and lifted his shirt.

Keegan was stunned. The next moment, he protested, “What are you doing?!”

Stella decisively pushed open his legs and pressed her knee in between his thighs. She placed one of her hands on his shoulder while unbuttoning his shirt with the other.

Keegan was astonished by this bold move. His pale face instantly turned bright red-out of anger.

Stella’s movements were skillful. Keegan wanted to close his legs, but she would seamlessly nestle between them. At the same time, leaving them open rendered him powerless, allowing her to take control. 2 Flustered, he said, “Let go! How could you strip someone the moment you see them?! Is this how Uncle Wenham taught you?

“I’m calling for help!” He yelled.

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on a woman?”
