Stella was surprised.
“You sound like… a pretty experienced dad.”
Keegan said, “I don’t want our baby to be a troublemaker like Coco. Our child is going to be a very obedient one.”
Stella kept quiet.
After a long pause, she said, “You’re very picky, aren’t you?”
‘How can I possibly decide what the baby’s personality will be like?’ Stella thought to herself.
“I think Coco is very adorable,” Stella added.
Keegan snorted, “She’s just pretending to be good in front of you. She always does that when she asks me to bring her to see you.”
Stella was shocked. “When did Coco know about me?”
“After we took our wedding photos, she kept pestering me to see them. So, I showed her.” Keegan got a little angry, as he continued, “She said you look good, but I look like a zombie. Even if she was sick, she insisted on sneaking out of the hospital to see you. And then, she got hit by an electric bike.
“Even though she has anemia, she can be very naughty.”
Stella paused upon hearing Keegan’s words, as she slowly pieced together the truth of what happened during their wedding night.
Coco sneaked out to the wedding venue, got hit by a bike, and needed a blood transfusion. However, Coco’s caretaker could not reach Keegan, so that person contacted Bella, who had donated blood to Coco before.
Bella, who had always been resentful of Keegan marrying a woman who came out of nowhere, saw it as a perfect opportunity to ruin the wedding. So, right before Keegan went on stage, she approached him and told him about it.
That was the reason why Keegan left the wedding hastily with Bella.
After many years, although she and Keegan had deep feelings for each other, she could not help but be bothered by the fact that Keegan left her alone during their wedding night. After all, that was one of the most important days in her life.
But now, knowing that it was because of Coco, that cute little girl, her lingering resentment slowly disappeared.
With that in mind, Stella looked at Keegan and asked the question she had always wanted to ask. “Who are Coco’s parents?”
