Chapter 61

The lamp next to the couch was switched on suddenly. It lighted up the dark living room.

Keegan was sitting on the couch staring at her. He looked extremely upset in his black pajamas, as he glared at her angrily.

Stella was discomfited as she got up. She looked embarrassed.

“Mr. Kane, you’re in the living room. Why didn’t you switch on the light?”

Keegan coldly smiled and said, “To protect my eyes and to stay healthy. Otherwise, how can I live as an asshole?”

Stella was speechless.

‘Piece of trash! He uses my own words to shut me up every single time!

‘It would be bad if God hears me secretly cursing someone.‘ Stella gave two dry laughs. She made fun of him and said, “I’ll switch off the light, then. So, that way, you can continue to preserve your health, right?”

She wanted to slip away. But, as soon as she turned around, she could hear Keegan’s voice behind her back.

“Make me a bowl of noodles.”

The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched.

‘Piece of shit. Is he treating me like a maid?”

Stella rolled her eyes. She turned around and put on an insincere smile. “I’ll ask Maya to do that.”

However, Keegan sneered, “Stella, do you think that you can get one billion dollars just by lying in the house? Would it be this easy for you to earn my money?”

Stella froze up. She wanted to beat him up very badly. She clenched her teeth as she said, “I’ll cook for you. Mr. Kane, I’ll cook whatever noodles you’d like to eat. I promise you that the one billion dollars that you’re going to spend will be worth it!”

Keegan softly grunted, “It better be.”

Stella started cursing him after she turned around.

‘Cheapskate, tight–fisted jerk. He thinks he’s a lord for just spending some money. Eat noodles? Go eat shit!‘

Although she cursed him in secret, Stella still spinelessly ran to the kitchen.

‘Who wouldn’t want money these days? And, it’s a billion dollars. After we divorce, I don’t need to worry about food and drinks for the rest of my life. I can even take very good care of my mother.”

She felt much better after she thought about that internally.

Soon, Stella finished cooking two bowls of noodles. It was tomato soup. There was a fried egg on top, and there were two poached spoon cabbages. The bowl of noodles looked red and green. It was appetizing “Mr. Kane? The meal is ready.”

Stella’s voice was husky. So, she shouted weirdly.

Keegan put his book down. He walked toward her and glanced at her.

Stella pulled the chair out as though she wanted to impress him. She obsequiously said, “Mr. Kane, do you want me to feed you?”

Keegan was made uncomfortable by her insincere service attitude. He coldly said, “Shut up!”

“Alright!”

Stella pulled a chair out and sat across from him. She thought to herself, ‘I want to disgust you!‘

She had been extremely hungry for a long time. So, she sat down and picked up the chopsticks. She got a teaspoon of chili before she started eating. She was unladylike when she ate.

On the other hand, Keegan looked like he was being filmed when he ate. Every bite of his was perfect.

He even seemed like he counted how many times he should chew before he swallowed the food.

Keegan was like a precise, sophisticated robot. He acted and thought based on his own standards.

Stella had never seen him lose control.

That was not entirely true, however. The only time he lost control was during their wedding. He grabbed Bella’s hand as they left.

He would lose control. But, it was not because of her.

Stella had accepted that long ago. She was not as upset as before.

In the past, she was very talkative and chatty when she ate. But, she was exceptionally quiet today.

He could not help but say, “Didn’t you eat when you were outside?”
