Chapter 1889
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Stella did not head toward the bridge at Lumi River. Instead, she drove straight to the riverside.
After stopping the car, Stella unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at Keegan.
Keegan felt that the car had stopped and opened his eyes.â Are we home?â he asked.
Stellaâs eyes deepened. She shook her head and replied in a low voice, âNo.â
Keegan furrowed his brows and whispered, âHurry up. I want to sleep.â
Stella unfastened his seatbelt and said, âAnswer a few questions, and Iâll take you home.â
Keegan looked at her in confusion. âWhat are the questions?â
Stella stared into his eyes and asked, âFirst of all, who am I?â
Keegan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Meanwhile, Stella narrowed her eyes. âDonât you want to go home and sleep?â
Keegan whispered, âStella.â
Stellaâs eyes darkened. âThatâs not how you addressed me earlier at my house.â
Keegan did not speak.
Stella ground her teeth, as she was irritated that he was being difficult despite being intoxicated. âCanât remember, huh?â
She leaned back in her seat and said, âThen, weâll wait here until you remember.â
Keegan hesitated. He was surprised by her stubbornness.â You said youâd take me home if I answered your question.â
âIâm not someone who keeps my word,â Stella responded.
Keegan frowned. âAre you planning to sleep here?â
Stella did not bat him an eye. âYup.â
Keegan glanced at the darkness outside and wrinkled his brow. âDonât be silly.
Itâs too cold out here. Dr. Quinn mentioned that you canât catch a cold if you want to conceive.â
Stella paused and widened her eyes. âDr. Quinn? Whoâs that?â
âYour OB-GYN. What games are you playing here? Donât you want a baby?â
Stella bit her lips.
Perfect. Heâs drunk.â She turned her head to look at Keegan and whispered,â Have you forgotten?
We already have a baby.â
Keegan was momentarily stunned, and his brain seemed to recall the situation.
Stella took his hand, placed it on her abdomen, and said,â Honey, the wish we made on the night of our proposal has come true.â Keegan stared at her blankly before finally leaning down to hug her.
âStella,â he softly called her name.
Stella responded and felt something soft touching her forehead.
She froze and looked up to meet Keeganâs starry eyes.
She reached out to touch his cheek but hesitated before making contact. She remembered his resistance when she tried to touch him previously. Even though he was right in front of her in perfect condition, she felt as though it was an illusion.
Keegan grabbed her hand and placed it on his cheek, as she was about to pull away. He lightly kissed her and said,â Stella, Stella⦠Was it cold when you were in the water?â
Stellaâs nose tingled, and her eyes turned red.
Keegan panicked when he noticed her tears. He awkwardly wiped them away and said in a hoarse voice, âDid they hurt you?â
