“Let’s see. Could it be five hundred thousand dollars?” Keegan asked.
Stella bit her lip and shook her head. She then let go of Keegan’s arm and held up ten fingers, “I made eight hundred thousand dollars!”
Keegan chuckled and gently put two of her fingers down.” You held up two extra fingers,” he said.
Stella tugged at his tie, her voice soft but playful, “You have to admit that I’m quite impressive, right?”
Eight hundred thousand dollars might not be much in Keegan’s eyes, but it was enough to make Stella happy. So Keegan graciously said, “Yeah, very
impressive. Otherwise, how could you have won me over?”
Stella smiled dreamily, “If only you had been this good with words when we were still married, I would have birthed ten of your kids in a year!”
Keegan found her funny. He knew she was drunk but still wanted to tease her,
“Does that mean you’ll have one kid per month and take two months off?”
Stella leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “Yeah.
Those two months are reserved for having sex with you.”
Keegan remained calm. He was used to Stella’s unexpected words. He put his arm around her waist and murmured enticingly, “Why don’t we do it tonight?”
Keegan and Stella had been living a life of abstinence after Stella moved into the Saun residence.
Wenham consistently called Stella every night, urging her to come home early.
The couple barely had any time alone together. They hardly exchanged a conversation, even when having a meal. Both were busy people and would
quickly part ways after their meal.
Today was a rare moment of quality time together. Keegan did not want Stella to leave. He lowered his head and rubbed his nose against hers, whispering softly,
“Can you stay over tonight?”
