Chapter 314
Stella was startled momentarily. She stared at Keegan’s flushed neck and face. Suddenly, she understood the situation.
She teased him through stifled laughter, “This is good. Didn’t you hear what grandpa say just now? One bowl and you’ll have stamina as strong as young man’s; two bowls and you can bring down a bull.”
Keegan had a light sheen of sweat on his forehead. With a tense expression, he pulled the covers tighter and ignored Stella.
It was a rare occasion for Stella to see Keegan in such an embarrassing state. So, she was not going to pass up the opportunity of adding insult to his injury. She exhaled and said, “How does it feel after having the soup, Mr. Kane? Is it like how it’s depicted on TV; you feel like your entire body is on fire? Look at you. You’re sweating so much; it must be really hot in here. Shall I fan you?”
She narrowed her eyes and deliberately moved to Keegan’s front. Then, she swung her hands back and forth in front of his face to fan him.
The fragrance of the body wash from Stella’s body wafted over to Keegan. While her scent was similar to his own, it still enticed him and sent his heart trembling.
Keegan’s gaze subconsciously moved to her face, her lips, and finally, her delicate collarbone.
‘Her complexion is so fair that just exerting slight force will leave a red mark that doesn’t go away after a whole night. It’s as if a mark’s been left on her, a mark that belongs to me,’ he thought.
Keegan forcefully averted his gaze and said through gritted teeth, “Stay away from me!”
“That won’t do. I need to keep you company since you’re feeling so uncomfortable. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad taking that one billion.”
Keegan twitched the corner of his lips.
‘Stella’s expression is as fake as it can get. I’m sure she’s bubbling with joy right now!’ he thought.
It was true Stella did not have good intentions. She said with a “worried” look, “That shouldn’t be the case. I haven’t seen you like this in the past few months. Does a bowl of chicken soup have such great effects? Are you faking it?”
Keegan was exasperated. He immediately rolled over and pinned the woman under him. Then, he gripped her chin and said with a dark expression, “Do you still think I’m faking it now?” Stella stiffened. Since the pajamas were of thin material, she could directly feel every nook and cranny of his body now that he was pressed against her.
‘I think… I’ve gone overboard,’ she thought.
She laughed awkwardly and said, “It looks like grandpa’s chicken soup is truly amazing. Why don’t… I find you a video, and you go settle it in the bathroom?”
