She asked Keegan to leave a comment too, hoping to calm Trevor down a bit.
But when Keegan couldn’t find Trevor’s social media post, a red exclamation mark popped up as he tried to message him, indicating that Trevor had blocked him.
Stella reassured him, “It’s okay. Next time we argue, he’ll have to unblock you and scold you.”
Keegan was speechless.
She was bad at comforting people. It was better if she did not do it again.
After the commotion, Keegan became serious. “Don’t use that trick again to fool people. Did you see how pale Trevor’s face turned? He was genuinely scared.”
Stella chuckled, “Your face seemed even paler than his though?”
Keegan replied softly, “I was scared too. Grandma said we should avoid taboo topics; some things shouldn’t be said casually.”
His expression was very serious. He used to not believe in these things, but it seemed that both of them had become superstitious and timid ever since Stella got pregnant.
Stella held his hand, gently rubbing it against her cheek, and whispered,” Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore.”
She then reached out to touch his mouth, frowning. “Trevor was really rough on you. Does it still hurt?”
Keegan chuckled, “He actually held back. You haven’t seen him in a fight; one punch can break someone’s nose.”
He had even specifically trained in boxing for fighting. During his rebellious phase, he even went to underground fights. Keegan had seen him throw punches, so he knew how much strength Trevor had used on him.
Though it still hurt quite a bit, being able to hear Stella’s insightful analysis made it a bit more bearable.
Stella sighed, My dad said Trevor was quite obedient when he was young, but he became crooked as he grew up.”
