Chapter 1814
Keegan watched helplessly as the mattress was moved to Aurora’s room.
He roamed around the house with an angry face and found that the only place he could sleep was the couch in the living room.
That was his room, and two other maids were living there. How could a grown man like him sleep on the couch?
He paced back-and-forth outside the master bedroom. He extended his arm to the doorknob several times but could not bring himself to twist it open.
As he hesitated, the door suddenly swung open. Stella, dressed in her pajamas, leaned against the door frame, arms crossed. She glanced at him and asked, “You’ve been standing there for over half an hour. Are you going to sleep with me or not?”
“I’m not going to sleep with you,” Keegan corrected her.
“Ah, sleep in the same room as me,” Stella clarified.
Then, he explained, “Aurora moved the mattress from the study to her room, and I have nowhere else to sleep.”
Stella raised an eyebrow.
Keegan pressed his lips together before saying, “I’ll grab some blankets and sleep on the floor. Tomorrow, I’ll buy another bed.”
Stella glanced at him, stepped aside, and said evenly,” Come on in.”
Keegan adjusted his collar and took a deep breath before entering.
Stella opened the wardrobe, retrieved a blanket, and placed it on the bed.
Just as Keegan was about to pick it up, Stella grabbed his wrist. “Sleep on the bed. Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. There’s no need to act tough.”
Keegan looked at her hands, feeling the resistance he had toward her was gradually fading. ‘Well, at least my hand doesn’t feel as cold now,’ he thought to himself.
He lowered his eyes and said after a long pause, “Okay.”
After that, Stella headed to the bathroom, leaving Keegan seated on the bed. He absentmindedly grabbed a book from the nightstand, but as he flipped through the pages, he couldn’t focus on a single word.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
