Chapter 273

He was like that whenever he was drunk. Others either fell asleep with their head tilted or became roaring drunks. Keegan, however, belongs to the third kind. His brain couldn’t function when he was drunk. He could fool others as if he weren’t drunk, but his brain was already muddled inside.

Keegan’s low alcohol tolerance was only known by close friends. He would try to avoid attending any business meetings involving alcohol, and Aldor would help him out if it was unavoidable. With his drinking capacity, he might otherwise get cheated out of his company in his drunken haze.

“Who are you?”

Keegan massaged his temples and asked in a soft tone.

Stella frowned. “Can you even lose your memory from drinking too much?”

She squinted and took advantage to tease him. “My good son, do you not recognize your mother?”

“Mother?”

“Yes.”

‘What a good catch! I’ve suddenly gotten myself a grown–up son!‘

She took out her phone and was about to record some evidence but had second thoughts when thinking about the consequences of humiliating Keegan. She ended up not recording when Keegan suddenly held her wrist, “Stella?”

‘Damn. He sobered up quickly?‘

Stella raised her head, only to see Keegan had the same quizzical expression from just now, still not fully awake.

“My head hurts.”

He frowned and lowered his head the next moment to place her hands on his forehead as he lightly rubbed it.

Stella felt peculiar.

‘Why is drunk Keegan so…obedient?‘

“You’re drunk. That’s why your head hurts.”

Stella wanted to pull her hand away, but Keegan’s grip was firm.

“No. My head hurts from being mad at you,” Keegan said matter–of–factly.

Stella’s lips twitched, and she replied, “Am I even capable of doing that?”

Still with his eyes closed, Keegan said hoarsely, “You always… make me frustrated. You want to divorce me, want to argue with me, but I’m most frustrated when you ignore me.”

Stella was startled and asked softly, “Why are you frustrated when I ignore you?”

Keegan, with his eyes shut, did not reply.

Stella lowered her head to look closer and saw that Keegan had already dozed off.

She heaved a sigh. ‘Why would you say something that would make me feel concerned?‘

At Lake Villa, Bella looked anxious. “How is it? Did anyone pick up the call?”

Wein shook his head. “Aldor said Mr. Kane had an important dinner, and we should without him.”

go ahead Bella frowned and asked, “Did you say it exactly as I told you to?”

“Yes.”

Bella gritted her teeth. “It’s probably Aldor’s doing!”

She almost got her way the last time Keegan was drunk at Lake Villa. Unfortunately, Aldor came rushing in at the last moment and took Keegan away.

Since then, Keegan intentionally alienated her.

Thinking about the past made Bella gnash her teeth in hatred. ‘Aldor must have played a part this time as well. This hateful guy has foiled my plans so many times!‘

She was still distraught, yet Kelly had to call right at this moment, asking for help to share something on Facebook.

Bella said with a straight face, “I’ll do it another day, Kelly. You’re already aware of the situation. We couldn’t get onto the hot search’s listing.”
