Chapter 1396
With a cheerful smile, Stella placed the bowl of chicken soup in front of Keegan and said, “I just tasted it, and it’s rather good. Go on. Give it a try.”
Keegan glanced at the soup and asked, “Why don’t you go grab yourself a bowl since it’s for nourishing the body?”
“No thanks. I’ve grown tired of chicken soup after eating the ones you’ve cooked for me. Just looking at it makes me lose my appetite. I made myself some porridge with red dates. I’ll just have that,” Stella lied.
She then handed the spoon to Keegan and urged, “Go on, dear. It won’t taste as good when it’s cold.”
Keegan gave her a sidelong glance, took the spoon, and stirred the soup.
“Why does this soup smell a bit like the chicken soup your great-grandpa used to make?”
Stella froze. “Don’t all chicken soup smell the same?”
Keegan nodded, seemingly agreeing with her explanation. He set down the spoon and picked up the bowl. Just as he was about to take a sip, he saw Stella staring intently at him.
Keegan paused for a moment and drank the soup all in one go.
Stella immediately refilled the bowl and said, “Here, have more.”
For some reason, Keegan was unusually accommodating today. He drank three bowls of the soup in a row. Stella would have had him finish the whole pot if she were not worried about the potency of the medicine.
Perhaps out of guilt, Stella, who used to insist on having Keegan clean up the kitchen after she cooked, took the initiative today. She cleaned up everything herself and even filled the bathtub with water for Keegan to relax in.
Though Keegan was ready to expose Stella for “cheating” on him, he enjoyed all the attention from her.
When Keegan came out of the bathroom after his soak, Stella approached him with a bottle of essential oil, looking rather eager. “Would you like to experience my massage techniques, honey?”
Keegan’s gaze deepened. “What do you have there? Is it an aphrodisiac oil?”
