The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1845

"We..." Keegan glanced at Macy.

Macy spoke up faster. "Caleb, we're just friends! He's my childhood neighbor. Don't you remember? You met him when you used to visit our house!"

Caleb smiled gently. "I remember. When he was a kid, he climbed a tree, got stuck, and sat on a branch crying with snot running down his face."

One sentence annihilated both of them. Macy stared in horror, while Keegan flushed crimson, wishing the ground would swallow him whole.

"I... I don't have a runny nose anymore," Keegan stammered. He knew Caleb was generally nice, but the man had a terrifying aura. With his ever-present smile, Caleb looked like he could see right through people's souls.

Swallowing his embarrassment, Keegan decided to be honest. "Caleb, Macy and I are dating. But I promise you, I would never disrespect her, and I'll never let anyone hurt her."

Macy panicked. "Why would you tell him that? You're about to debut as an idol! You can't let people know you're dating!"

Caleb looked at his foolish cousin in exasperation. He hadn't expected Macy to be so deeply ingrained in idol culture that she'd protect a guy's career over their relationship. Keegan was willing to admit it openly, yet she was trying to shove him back into the closet.

"Macy, if I lied, Caleb would be furious," Keegan explained gently. He didn't know Caleb well, but he understood protective brothers. No man wanted to see his little sister getting played. He wanted to be an entertainer, but his feelings for Macy were genuine. They had grown up together, and she was his first love. He had never planned on hiding it.
