Stella did not head toward the bridge at Lumi River. Instead, she drove straight to the riverside.
After stopping the car, Stella unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at Keegan.
Keegan felt that the car had stopped and opened his eyes.” Are we home?” he asked.
Stella’s eyes deepened. She shook her head and replied in a low voice, “No.”
Keegan furrowed his brows and whispered, “Hurry up. I want to sleep.”
Stella unfastened his seatbelt and said, “Answer a few questions, and I’ll take you home.”
Keegan looked at her in confusion. “What are the questions?”
Stella stared into his eyes and asked, “First of all, who am I?”
Keegan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Meanwhile, Stella narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you want to go home and sleep?”
Keegan whispered, “Stella.”
Stella’s eyes darkened. “That’s not how you addressed me earlier at my house.”
Keegan did not speak.
Stella ground her teeth, as she was irritated that he was being difficult despite being intoxicated. “Can’t remember, huh?”
She leaned back in her seat and said, “Then, we’ll wait here until you remember.”
Keegan hesitated. He was surprised by her stubbornness.” You said you’d take me home if I answered your question.”
“I’m not someone who keeps my word,” Stella responded.
