Chapter 225
Stella felt both anger and amusement as she looked at Keegan. He was like the stray cat that used to hang around her childhood home. She had fed it for almost six months, but one day she accidentally kicked it in the head while she was opening the door. After that, the cat would never let her touch it. Every time she tried to pet it, the cat would move its head to avoid her, just like Keegan was doing now.
Although she could not catch the stray cat, Stella knew how to deal with Keegan. She stared at him for a few seconds, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed to straddle him. She reached for his shirt, which surprised Keegan and caused him to struggle as soon as he regained his senses.
Normally, Stella might not be able to hold him down. But, now that he was burning with a fever, he was as weak as a sick cat. It did not take long for Stella to unbutton his shirt, revealing his bare chest.
“Stella, do you have no shame?!” Keegan shouted.
Perhaps it was because of Keegan’s anger or his fever that his entire face was flushed. Even his neck had a faint pinkish hue.
Stella, who was straddling him, suddenly felt a sense of control over the man. “To be honest, this is quite enjoyable.”
Stella placed the thermometer under Keegan’s armpit before she covered him with a blanket. In a tone that imitated how CEOs flirt with their young wives in web novels, she said to Keegan, “Is there any part of your body that I haven’t seen? We’ve been married for so long, so why do I need to have shame?”
Keegan coughed angrily.
Stella comforted him by stroking his chest. “I don’t mind you baring your chest in front of me. But, you’re the one acting it like it’s a big deal.”
Keegan was very furious and was about to scold the unruly woman. However, before he could say anything, she took advantage of the situation and shoved the pill inside his open mouth. The pill slid down his throat right after she pinched his chin and lifted it up.
Keegan was already feeling unwell, and he was about to get angry at her antics. However, before he could say anything, he met Stella’s smiling eyes.
“How is it? It’s not bitter, right?”
For some reason, he suddenly could not bring himself to get angry.
Keegan grumbled, “Try shoving one directly inside your throat and see how you would feel.” “This is how you should take a pill. Otherwise, it’d taste bitter on your tongue. If you hadn’t broken the glass, I wouldn’t have to feed you the pill like this.” Stella retorted.
