Chapter 517
So, even if Keegan kept yawning, he still held Stella’s hand tightly. Stella’s arms were wet from the sweat of his palms. She could not help but say,” Go to bed if you’re sleepy.”
Keegan half-closed his eyes and said, “I’ll sleep when the money is saved on your card, or you’ll have to leave again.”
Stella was speechless. She said to herself, TH leave regardless if I save the money or not. We’re already divorced. This place is no longer my home.’
However, Stella did not say anything when she saw Keegan’s stubbornness. Even if she had said something to him, he would not remember when he woke up.
“Stella.” Keegan hugged her, lay on the pile of money, and called her softly. But, Stella said nothing.
“Stella.” Keegan could not get her response, so he called her again. Stella whispered, “What?”
“Don’t fall in love with Trevor.” Keegan rubbed her neck and whispered, “I’ll change what you think I’m bad at, but I can’t change my face. Look at me more frequently. It’ll be pleasing to your eyes after you see it more.”
As soon as Stella was slightly moved, Keegan continued, “I used to think that you were not good-looking enough. Your eyes were not big enough, your nose was not straight enough, and your smile was weird. But, it looks like you’re getting prettier after looking at you for a long time.”
The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched. Suddenly, she wanted to grab a wad of money and stuff it into Keegan’s mouth. He nagged and whispered a lot in her ear. Stella could not remember clearly, but she was annoyed by his voice and fell asleep without even knowing.
The money was good to look at but was uncomfortable to sleep on. Stella woke up the next day with the banknotes under her body. When she opened her eyes, she looked at the familiar ceiling and the room full of banknotes. It took Stella a few minutes to remember what had happened last night.
Keegan was still slumbering with his arms tightly around her waist. Stella took his hand away and looked at her phone. It was only after six o’clock. She called Aldor, but he still did not answer.
