Chapter 1325
Stella gave him a sidelong glance and asked, “What are you referring to?”
“You know… When you mouthed that we’d get remarried if I learned how to swim.” Keegan whispered.
Initially, Stella said those words to motivate Keegan. However, after discovering his near-drowning incident from Marshall, she felt it was unfair to put that pressure on him.
“I would still marry you if you don’t, but I do hope you’d give it a try. My mom… I mean, Ms. Spade used to tell me that it’s always beneficial to acquire new skills. You never know when they might come in handy. Swimming is a useful skill, so it’d be good if you can learn. But if you can’t, then no pressure. I can support you in the water,” she said softly.
Keegan’s heart melted at the sound of that. He gently pulled Stella’s hand and whispered, “I’ll give it another shot.”
“You don’t have to force yourself to do it if you’re scared. I only asked because I didn’t know about your drowning incident,” said Stella.
Keegan was surprised. “Did Marshall tell you?”
Stella nodded. “Is everyone aware except me?” She asked, a little annoyed.
Keegan shook his head. “Only a few people know about the incident. My grandma forbade anyone from spreading it out.”
“So, what happened exactly?”
Keegan hesitated to tell the story. He paused for a long time before telling Stella everything.
Keegan had nearly drowned at the age of six. Back then, Aurora was not born yet. Despite being the only son, Keegan did not receive much affection from Dahlia. For as long as he could remember, his mother’s life revolved around indulging in luxury items and sipping afternoon tea with her friends. They would often discuss shallow topics in an attempt to one-up each other.
