Chapter 1765

“I’m already over thirty years old. If I don’t conceive now, I might never be able to. What’s wrong with being a little selfish? Do you really have to treat me like this?

“You said you’d only want a child with me after you’ve succeeded in your business. I’ve been waiting since graduation, and it has already been ten years now. Your company has finally gotten on track, but why wouldn’t you let me have a baby?

“Tell me honestly. Do you not want a baby, or do you not want me? Let’s get a divorce if you don’t want me anymore! I’ll raise the baby myself!”

The people around them started gossiping.

“She’s already thirty years old, yet the man is stopping her from having a baby. What a selfish man.”

“He must be seeing someone else now that he’s become successful.

Otherwise, who would not want their wife to have a baby at this age?” “That’s why a woman should never waste her youth on a man. I’ve seen this too many times. Despite all the efforts and sacrifices a wife makes for her husband, he often chooses another woman he genuinely likes.” “She’s too foolish.

She should just get a divorce with him…” “This kind of man doesn’t deserve to have a wife.”

Keegan’s lips twitched upon hearing the whispers around him.

He walked over to Stella with a stern face and grabbed her hands, saying, ■’ If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll shut your mouth up!”

Stella paused for a second and cried even louder, “You’re even scolding me now. Why is my life so miserable!”

Keegan was speechless.

“This is outrageous. It’s not easy to conceive in your thirties, yet this man is still treating her like this.”

“He looks like a gentleman but doesn’t act like one at all.”

Keegan gritted his teeth. He bent down to pick up the things she had thrown on the floor, grabbed her hand, and said, “We’re going home!”

Stella did not move. Instead, she pouted with teary eyes and said pitifully, ” My feet hurt.”

Keegan was burning with anger after Stella made him look bad in front of everyone. But he met those eyes, and he just could not bring himself to express the rage brewing inside him. With a stern face, he threw Stella’s bag and jacket into her arms and picked her up horizontally.

“Now that’s more like it. It’s not easy for a woman to get pregnant. How dare he treat his wife like that?”

“There’s still some hope in him.” “Maybe it was just a little spat.”

Keegan lowered his head to look at the woman who had successfully executed her plan. He squinted his eyes and said coldly, “Are you a big fan of acting?”

Stella nodded, “After all, I majored in performing arts. I’d feel uncomfortable if I don’t act for a day.”

Keegan could not believe what he had just heard, “So, that’s why you threw me under the bus?”

Stella blinked her eyes, “I’m pregnant.”

Keegan was puzzled.

Then, he heard Stella continuing slowly, “Hormones easily influence a pregnant woman’s emotions. If I keep all my emotions to myself, it won’t be good for the baby. So, I’ve got to find a way to vent my emotions.” “Are you suggesting that I should be the one to bear your frustration?”

Stella patted his shoulder, “You won’t be the one experiencing postpartum depression, so what’s wrong with that?”

Keegan stared at her cunning eyes and said, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll just drop you to the ground?”

Stella glowered at him, “You wouldn’t dare!” “Try me.” With that, Keegan pretended to let go of her, causing Stella to cling to his neck quickly like an octopus.

She would not be scared if she were not pregnant. But she dared not take the risk with a baby on the way.
