Chapter 314

Stella was startled momentarily. She stared at Keegan’s flushed neck and face. Suddenly, she understood the situation.

She teased him through stifled laughter, “This is good. Didn’t you hear what grandpa say just now?

One bowl and you’ll have stamina as strong as young man’s; two bowls and you can bring down a bull.”

Keegan had a light sheen of sweat on his forehead. With a tense expression, he pulled the covers tighter and ignored Stella.

It was a rare occasion for Stella to see Keegan in such an embarrassing state. So, she was not going to pass up the opportunity of adding insult to his injury. She exhaled and said, “How does it feel after having the soup, Mr. Kane? Is it like how it’s depicted on TV; you feel like your entire body is on fire?

Look at you. You’re sweating so much; it must be really hot in here. Shall I fan you?”

She narrowed her eyes and deliberately moved to Keegan’s front. Then, she swung her hands back and forth in front of his face to fan him.

The fragrance of the body wash from Stella’s body wafted over to Keegan. While her scent was similar to his own, it still enticed him and sent his heart trembling.

Keegan’s gaze subconsciously moved to her face, her lips, and finally, her delicate collarbone.

‘Her complexion is so fair that just exerting slight force will leave a red mark that doesn’t go away after a whole night. It’s as if a mark’s been left on her, a mark that belongs to me,’ he thought.

Keegan forcefully averted his gaze and said through gritted teeth, “Stay away from me!”

“That won’t do. I need to keep you company since you’re feeling so uncomfortable. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad taking that one billion.”

Keegan twitched the corner of his lips.

‘Stella’s expression is as fake as it can get. I’m sure she’s bubbling with joy right now!’ he thought.

It was true Stella did not have good intentions. She said with a “worried” look, “That shouldn’t be the case. I haven’t seen you like this in the past few months. Does a bowl of chicken soup have such great effects? Are you faking it?”

Keegan was exasperated. He immediately rolled over and pinned the woman under him. Then, he gripped her chin and said with a dark expression, “Do you still think I’m faking it now?” Stella stiffened.

Since the pajamas were of thin material, she could directly feel every nook and cranny of his body now that he was pressed against her.

‘I think… I’ve gone overboard,’ she thought.

She laughed awkwardly and said, “It looks like grandpa’s chicken soup is truly amazing. Why don’t… I find you a video, and you go settle it in the bathroom?”

Keegan lowered his head and looked at the woman under him.

Stella feigned a calm expression, but she did not dare to look directly at him. The blush on the tips of her ears traveled down to her neck and collarbone.

She was not as calm as she thought she was.

Keegan reached out and caressed her cheeks.

He said hoarsely, “There’s no need to go through that trouble. I shouldn’t let your grandpa’s kindness go to waste. Why don’t we test the soup’s effects?”

Then, he kissed her.

Stella widened her eyes and quickly covered his lips that were about to touch hers, “I’m ovulating!”

Keegan lowered his gaze and kissed her palm in an explicit manner. Then, he slowly lifted his head.

“That’s good. We’ll have two children in three years.

Once again, he leaned toward her. Just as Stella wondered if she should kick Keegan off the bed and if the mutt would deduct her money for it, her phone rang.

She quickly pushed Keegan away and took her phone.

Keegan frowned and was quite displeased. Then, he held her hands and moved to her again.

Just as he touched Stella’s lips, Dahlia’s voice sounded from the phone. “Are you asleep, Stella?

Keegan froze, and Stella quickly took the opportunity to push him off. Then, she took the phone and steadied her breath.

“I just laid down. What’s wrong?” she asked.

“We’ll be discussing Keegan’s grandmother’s birthday tomorrow at the family banquet held at Keegan’s grandparents’ residence. So, you and Keegan must remember not to be late.”

“Isn’t there still a month till grandma’s birthday? Do we need to start preparing now?”

“Do you think a birthday celebration at the Kane family is like a random person in your family having their birthday-having a mere meal will do? If it wasn’t because Keegan’s grandmother had gotten angry because of you, the preparations would’ve started much earlier. Starting preparations at this point of the year is considered late.”
