Chapter 37
Stella has big, almond–shaped eyes with long outer corners. When she was sober, her clear eyes brightened up whenever she smiled. However, when she was drunk, her eyes were clouded with intoxication, and she looked exceptionally alluring.
Inadvertently, carelessly alluring.
Keegan gulped as he lowered his gaze to look at her. “That depends on where you want to sleep tonight.” His voice was deep and intimidating.
Stella tilted her head and thought for a while. She then smiled and said, “Let’s go to your place.”
Keegan raised his eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
Stella felt too dizzy to focus on Keegan’s blurry figure. She frowned, shook her head, and held his face with her hands. “I gave you three thousand and five hundred dollars. If we went to a hotel room, that would cost me too much. Let’s go to your house to save up some money. I might have to go through divorce proceedings.”
Keegan could feel the veins popping out of his head.
‘Am I supposed to compliment her on her thriftiness?‘
Keegan looked stern. “My place? Aren’t you worried about your husband finding out about this?” His voice was somber.
Stella shook her head. “I don’t have a husband. I’m a widow.”
Keegan gritted his teeth. “Would a widow need to file a divorce?”
Stella frowned. Apparently, she was puzzled by her own unsound statements. Keegan’s interrogation just made her more confused.
“You’re so annoying! You ask way too many questions! I don’t want you to be my boyfriend anymore. Give me back my money!”
As she said that, her hands fumbled across Keegan’s body.
Keegan restrained both of her hands and buckled her seatbelt. “Too late,” he replied blankly.
He started the car and drove away.
“Let me out of the car!” Stella protested quietly.
