Chapter 126
Stella found herself at a loss for words.
She could not reveal to Baldwin that she and Keegan were going to divorce soon.
“Mrs Kane, please keep the car keys since Madam has said so. As for the reciprocal gift for the Saun
family, Madam will handle it.”
Eventually, Stella failed to return the car keys. She could only hold onto them for now.
Back at the Kane residence, Keegan had already gone upstairs. Maya helped pick up the things and
asked, “Madam, is everything okay with Mr. Kane? He looked like he was in a bad mood when he came
back.”
Stella, who was still fuming, replied flatly, “He’s acting crazy. Don’t pay him any mind.”
Maya was taken aback for a moment. But, by the time she regained her composure, Stella had already
gone upstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFortunately for Stella, Keegan was not in the master bedroom. Otherwise, she would have been forced
to sleep on the less comfortable bed in the guest room.
Stella quickly undid her hair, grabbed two fresh sets of clothes, and headed to the bathroom. The
powerful flow from the showerhead cascaded down and enveloped Stella from head to toe in a warm
embrace, creating a relaxing experience.
As she stood under the stream of water, Stella could not help but think, ‘That jerk sure knows how to
enjoy life. There’s even a jacuzzi in this bathroom. It would be the perfect place to soak and unwind. But,
filling it takes a good ten to twenty minutes. I just don’t have the patience for that.”
She smoothed her hair to the side of her shoulders, pressed a pump of shampoo, foamed, and gently
rubbed her scalp.
Typically, those from Hustuabourg with fair skin possessed lighter hair color, but Stella was an exception.
Her raven–black, full mane was as soft as seaweed when it was wet, and when paired with her delicate
facial features, she was a true embodiment of a mermaid’s beauty.
The bathroom door was abruptly pushed open just as Stella was rinsing the foam from her hair, causing
her to startle and reach for a bath towel in a hurry.
As a result, her feet slipped, and she lost her balance, tumbling forward.
Keegan tried to catch her, but she grabbed him first, and both of them tumbled to the ground.
Keegan hit the floor with a thud, landing on his back. Stella, who was still naked, ended up on top of him,
and her knees hit the floor. Although the fall was jarring, Keegan served as a cushion, softening the
impact for Stella.
Keegan rubbed the back of his head, and his face darkened with anger as he ground his teeth. Did you
do that on purpose, Stella Jewell?” he growled.
“I did that on purpose?!”
“Who’s at fault here?” Stella spat out as she stood up, wrapping the towel around herself. “I
was taking a shower. What were you doing barging in without even knocking?”
Keegan sat up, and a scowl was on his face. “I came here to grab a towel. How was I supposed to know
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat you were taking a shower if you didn’t bother to lock the door?”
“You should have knocked on the door when you heard someone inside!”
Keegan glanced at her, and he naturally said, “This is my house. Why would I knock on my own
bathroom door?”
Stella was furious. She cursed inwardly, ‘Just what kind of a jerk is he?!‘
Perhaps he was not satisfied with releasing his anger as Keegan took a bath towel, looked at her from
top to bottom, and said impassively, “Why bother covering up such an unattractive body?”
Enraged, Stella grabbed the nearest object and hurled it at Keegan, shouting, “Go to hell, Keegan Kane!”
However, Keegan was quick to react, slamming the door shut. That object hit the door and shattered on
the ground. Only then did Stella realize that the object she had thrown was the expensive bottle of
essential oil she had splurged on. It hit her hard, causing her face to redden with a feeling of heartache.
‘Keegan Kane, you heartless bastard! How could I have ever been foolish enough to fall for someone like
you?‘ Stella snarled inwardly.
