Stella was a little surprised.She was not expecting Keegan to apologize directly.
After all, it was not entirely his fault.She figured everyone else would have responded similarly after hearing that ridiculous request.
Keegan was a person who would hold firm to his principles, and he was not the kind of person who would apologize if it was not his fault.
‘Does that mean he’s giving up on his principles for me?’ Stella could not help but smile.
Then, she coughed and said, "Well, I can't put all the blame on you.I was wrong too.You were right when you said outsiders like us couldn't interfere with other people's relationships.I understand what I said could be a little unacceptable."
After saying that, Stella thought that both of them would reflect on themselves and that their relationship with each other would be better than ever, leading to a happy ending...However, that was just her imagination.
Because what Keegan said was completely different from what she expected.
"I know you.You don't think about things thoroughly when you're nervous.You would always act and talk rashly based on your feelings.That's a really bad habit that needs to be changed." Keegan said.
His response left Stella utterly speechless.
‘Isn't he supposed to be apologizing? Who does he think he is criticizing now?’ Keegan continued, "Also, don't talk about breaking up so easily anymore.It's bad for our relationship."
Indeed, that was Stella's fault.She could not deny it.
However, when she thought Keegan started criticizing her when he was supposed to be apologizing, she looked up and said, "What other bad habits do I have that you think need to be changed?"
Keegan paused.
"I can tolerate all the other ones.You don't have to change them."
Stella secretly gritted her teeth.
'l was just testing him.I didn't expect that he actually thinks I have so many other bad habits!’ Stella struggled to control her clenched fist as she pretentiously put on an ungrudging look.
"It's fine.Communication is very important in a relationship, isn't it? So just be honest with me.I'll humbly accept them if I'm really problematic."
Keegan did understand Stella to some extent, but when she utilized her acting skills, he would still have difficulty seeing through her.
