Stella was puzzled.
“Keegan Kane, what are you doing?”
Her unexpected voice startled Keegan, causing his hand to slip. Then, the wine bottle fell to the ground. He coughed a few times, and a faint blush appeared on his fair face.
He paused, bent down, and picked up the wine bottle while pretending to be calm. “I’m thirsty,” he said softly.
Stella glanced at the water purifier behind him and was speechless.
‘It looks like he can’t tell the difference between alcohol and water now, huh?’ she thought to herself.
“Keegan, let’s-“
Before Stella could say that she wanted to go home with him, Keegan cut her off while rubbing his temples. My head hurts.”
Stella was at a loss for words.
‘Well, didn’t he sound powerful when he told me to shut up just now? And now, he suddenly became so weak?’ Stella thought to herself.
Stella scrutinized Keegan, and a strange speculation suddenly emerged in her mind-could it be that Keegan was pretending to be drunk to gloss over what happened?
‘He sounded like he was all that earlier, and now he wants me back?’ Stella thought inwardly.
“Oh,” Stella said. Then, she sarcastically added, “Your head hurts, huh? I should call your beloved Jaylene over, so she can give you a massage.”
Keegan frowned. “Quit speaking nonsense.”
Stella snorted, walked past him, and wanted to leave.
However, Keegan stopped her. “W-Where are you sleeping tonight?”
Stella stopped walking and looked at him with a half-smile.” Why do you ask? Is your beloved Jaylene angry because I’ve been sleeping at your place? Do you not want me to stay with you anymore? I’m sorry, but I won’t let things go your way. I don’t care how angry your beloved Jaylene is going to be.”
Keegan’s eyes lit up, and he could barely contain the joy in his eyes. Then, he immediately looked away and said in a cold tone, “Whatever.”
He would always look like this whenever he was nervous or excited.
‘And, he dared to judge my acting skills? Hmph!’ Stella said to herself.
When they were leaving, the whole family came out to see them off.
Stella had a cold expression, looking extremely displeased. However, Jaylene seemed very happy even though the handprint on her face from Stella’s slap had not faded. As they walked to the gate, Jaylene stayed close to Keegan and kept chatting with him.
