Chapter 312

Keegan pursed his lips. Moments later, he finally said, “I was wrong about her.”

“Mrs. Kane isn’t someone who holds grudges. If you apologize properly and coax her, she’ll surely forgive you,” said Aldor.

Keegan was speechless.

‘She doesn’t hold grudges? The bitemark she left on me last night because I took her blanket still hasn’t gone away. There isn’t a woman who holds grudges more than her,’ he thought.

Keegan returned the phone to Aldor. “Get someone to keep an eye on Bella. Don’t let her get hurt or stir up trouble before the agreed time. If she breaches the contract, I’ll take back the things the same way I gave them to her.”

“Understood.”

Just as Aldor walked out, Stella sent Keegan a text message.

Grandpa asked if you’re coming home for dinner tonight.

Keegan glanced at his unfinished work. Then, he closed the file and replied.

Yes.

When Keegan returned, Arthur was unusually enthusiastic. “Keegan, you’re home?”

He squinted as he smiled. The creases on his face were all squeezed together, making him look amiable and comical.

Keegan was a little flattered and answered.

Then, he glanced at the untouched dishes on the dining table and explained, “The roads were a little congested.”

“This is a big city, so traffic jams are normal. I spent the whole day preparing all these so that you can have a warm meal when you come home. Hurry up and wash your hands.”

This time, not only was Keegan confused but Stella was also bewildered.

‘When I came home from work today, grandpa was already busy in the kitchen. I even got kicked out when I went inside to help. Grandpa made me call Keegan home for dinner. And, he didn’t even let me touch the food when it was ready and insisted on waiting for Keegan to come home and have dinner with us. Throughout grandpa’s stay here, I saw with my own eyes how much he disliked Keegan. So, today really is a rare occasion,’ she thought.

After Keegan had returned from washing his hands, Arthur asked him to sit down. Then, he personally opened the pot of soup and filled a bowl with chicken soup for Keegan.

“Drink it while it’s hot.”

Stella naturally went over with her bowl to get some soup. However, Arthur slapped her hand away the moment she touched the ladle.

“This isn’t for you.”

She was baffled.

She said in a displeased tone, “I helped you pick some onions. Am I not even entitled to some soup?”

Arthur said, “Didn’t I make another soup? Go have that one. I purposefully made this one for Keegan.”

Keegan was a little surprised. However, he could not help but smile when he saw the jealousy on Stella’s face.

“Hurry up and eat it while it’s hot. It won’t taste good when it’s cold,” Arthur urged from the side.

Keegan did not quite like chicken soup. But, since Arthur had made it himself, Keegan did not want to let his kindness go to waste. He grabbed the bowl and took a sip.

Arthur gazed excitedly at Keegan with his yellowed eyes. “How is it? Is it good?”

Keegan took only a sip and frowned. “The taste is a little funny.”

“I threw in some cramp bark. It won’t taste funny if you down it in one go. Hurry and eat it.”

Keegan could not take the pressure from Arthur, so he fought back his discomfort and finished the bowl of chicken soup.

Then, Arthur immediately grabbed the empty bowl and filled it again for him, “Here. Have another bowl.”

Keegan frowned and felt reluctant.

“I’ll have the soup after eating something,” he said.

“Its effects won’t be as good when it gets cold. Hurry up and eat it while it’s still hot.”
