Chapter 182
Keegan obviously did not want to let Cordelia know that he was attacked, mainly because he was afraid that she would be worried. “Are you eating well, dear?” the old lady furrowed her brows. “You’ve become skinnier since the last time I saw you. Has everything been alright these past two days?”
“Yes, grandma. I’m feeling much better now. I’ll be able to return to the company in a few days.”
“There’s no rush. Your health is much more important.” Cordelia looked at the cup of coffee in Keegan’s hand and frowned. “Why are you still drinking coffee with an upset tummy?” she
asked.
Keegan immediately dumped the blame on Stella. “It’s hers,” he said.
“Stella, you can’t be drinking coffee either. It’ll affect your sleep” Stella bit the bullet and said, “Okay, grandma. I’ll stop drinking coffee” The old lady was satisfied with her answer.
Seeing a pile of clothes on the couch, she asked, “Are you going out?” Stella did not know what to say. If she said that she was going to a jewelry exhibition, knowing that Cordelta’s precious grandson Keegan was “ill”, Cordelia would definitely be unhappy
She was still trying to find an excuse when Keegan said, “She’s too noisy. There happens to be a jewelry exhibition tonight, so I asked her to go because I wanted some peace and quiet”
“Is it the one trene is organizing?” Cordelia wondered Irene Moore, the organizer of the jewelry exhibition, was also Marshall’s aunt Keegan nodded. The old lady smiled and said, Good. We’ll go together.”
“You’re going too?” Keegan asked as he was startled. “Irene told me that she had a fine piece of jade. She even invited the Venerable Raphael Morghen from the Temple of Abawo to bless the stone. So, I’m going to have a look.”
