Chapter 942

Keegan’s lips were right next to Stella’s ear. His hot breath spread across Stella’s cheeks and behind her ears, as he spoke. Her ears felt warm. Stella pushed Keegan’s face away and said, “Stop messing around.”

Keegan sensed that she was not entirely opposed to having sex with him, so he leaned over to kiss her earlobe and said, “I’m just following the doctor’s orders.’

“When have you ever listened to the doctors?” Stella’s eyelids twitched.” You’ve never even taken your medication on time when sick.”

Keegan frowned. It was as if he forgot all the times he did not listen to medical advice. However, he did not give up. “I’ll follow the doctor’s orders from today onward.” Keegan began to kiss Stella as he said that. He kissed her gently from the corner of her lips to the middle. Keegan licked her lips but suddenly stopped and frowned. He then began to sniff her body.

“What’s wrong?” Stella could not help but ask when she saw his strange expression. Keegan looked torn. It took him a long time to say, “Why do you smell a little funky?’

“You smell funky!” Stella said. Suddenly, she realized what Keegan was referring to. She had eaten some roasted garlic earlier. Keegan hated the smell of garlic, especially raw ones, while Stella enjoyed eating barbeque with garlic. She especially enjoyed roasted garlic cooked on the outside but still raw on the inside.

Keegan would avoid Stella like the plague whenever she ate garlic in the past. He would sleep in the study or the guest room as if the smell of garlic could kill him.

Stella looked at Keegan’s frown and suddenly thought of doing something naughty. “Does it stink?” She deliberately said to intensify the garlicky aroma. “I don’t smell anything.”

Keegan’s face turned green in an instant.

“It must be you. I grew up drinking high-quality mineral water, so it couldn’t be me,” Stella teased.

Keegan gave himself a sniff and proceeded to sniff Stella. “It’s you who stinks,” he said with certainty.

Stella pretended to be angry and said, “Do you not like me anymore?”

Keegan paused and pursed his lips. Then, after a long time, he said, “I can stand it.” The corners of Stella’s lips turned upward slightly. “That sounds so forced,” she claimed.

Keegan did not know how to explain himself anymore. He panicked, pulled Stella in, and kissed her to prove he was telling her the truth. What initially started as an act to prove a point ended up in both of them getting a little emotional.

Somehow, Keegan pinned Stella down on the bed as they continued kissing. It took a while before Keegan let go of her, panting. Stella’s ears and cheeks were red. She tilted her head and tried to calm her frantic heartbeat. “I should go,” she cleared her throat and said in a low voice.

Keegan buried his face in her shoulder and said, “Can you stay here tonight? N Stella’s heart rate spiked. “Felicity is at home alone.”

“I’m home alone, too,” he said.

‘Is he trying to be cute with me right now?’ Stella chuckled, pinched his cheeks, and teased, “You’re old enough to sleep on your own.”

Keegan did not let go of her. After a long time, he said, “Then… Leave after we finish doing what the doctor asked..?”

Stella was speechless. ‘Why is he so obsessed with getting me in bed? I can’t believe he remembers when he’s already so drunk,’ she thought.

Stella tried to reason with Keegan, “The doctor just said that off the top of his head. It’s not mandatory.’

It was times like these when Keegan’s mind went into overdrive. ’Why would the doctor specifically talk about it if it wasn’t mandatory?”

Stella was at a loss for words. “Since when did he specifically talk about it? He just casually mentioned it.”

Keegan refused to admit defeat, so he grabbed his phone from the table.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m calling the doctor to ask about it.”

The corners of Stella’s eyes twitched. She immediately snatched Keegan’s phone away and said, “It’s late. Aren’t you ashamed to be asking such a thing?”

Keegan frowned in confusion. Due to Stella’s refusal, he gradually realized something. “Why don’t you want to do it with me?”

‘It’s not a matter of me wanting it or not. The question is, are you capable of having sex right now?’

Stella said to herself.

“Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? Although it’s difficult for me to conceive, there’s still a possibility that I might get pregnant. We can’t have sex without protection. I’m not ready for a baby,” Stella glanced at him and said.

“You won’t get pregnant,” Keegan suddenly blurted out.

Stella was upset by this. She pushed Keegan in the chest and said, “Are you saying that because you think I’m too sick to conceive?”

“No. I got a vasectomy. That’s why you can’t get pregnant.”

Stella was shocked.
