Chapter 100
Stella was startled. “What did you say?”
Keegan avoided her gaze and said coolly, “Cordelia’s people here. I don’t want grandma to hear any stories, so don’t read too much into it.”
‘No wonder,‘ she thought.
Stella pouted.
‘I knew it. He wouldn’t say such strange things. He’s the one who’s a performing art major graduate; he can get into character anytime and anywhere. But, why should I cooperate with him?‘ she thought.
Just as Stella was about to reject his request, she suddenly saw Bella look longingly in their direction. She looked as if she wanted to pounce over and separate Stella from Keegan.
Suddenly, Stella changed her mind.
She grabbed Keegan’s shoulders and murmured, “Keep your word.”
Then, she tip–toed and kissed him on the lips.
Keegan’s lips were a little damp and tasted like red wine; it was faint and smelled a little good. ‘Keegan definitely doesn’t know how nervous I feel every time I use every trick in the book to seduce him. No matter how experienced I pretend to be, I’ve never been an expert when I’m faced with the person I like. But, things are different for Keegan. He rarely has an expression that isn’t indifferent, even while he has the most intimate contact,‘ she thought.
‘Back then, I enjoyed seeing Keegan’s calm and poised composure as if I was bewitched. However, I forgot that no man would be unmoved when looking at the woman he likes unless he was completely uninterested in that woman. If Keegan’s uninterested in me, he wouldn’t spare me a glance even if I stood naked in front of him. Even after he reluctantly sleeps with me, he spends two hours in the bathroom as if I’ve got germs on me!‘ she thought again. Suddenly, Stella felt annoyed.
‘I’m clearly the one who has been patient with this marriage! Who’s Keegan to despise me?‘ she thought.
Stella stared at the face she was once enamored with and stuck out her tongue without warning.
Keegan tensed up and immediately frowned.
