Chapter 1396
With a cheerful smile, Stella placed the bowl of chicken soup in front of Keegan and said, "I just tasted it, and it's
rather good. Go on. Give it a try."
Keegan glanced at the soup and asked, "Why don't you go grab yourself a bowl since it's for nourishing the body?"
"No thanks. I've grown tired of chicken soup after eating the ones you've cooked for me. Just looking at it makes me
lose my appetite. I made myself some porridge with red dates. I'll just have that," Stella lied.
She then handed the spoon to Keegan and urged, "Go on, dear. It won't taste as good when it's cold."
Keegan gave her a sidelong glance, took the spoon, and stirred the soup.
"Why does this soup smell a bit like the chicken soup your great-grandpa used to make?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella froze. "Don't all chicken soup smell the same?"
Keegan nodded, seemingly agreeing with her explanation. He set down the spoon and picked up the bowl. Just as
he was about to take a sip, he saw Stella staring intently at him.
Keegan paused for a moment and drank the soup all in one go.
Stella immediately refilled the bowl and said, "Here, have more."
For some reason, Keegan was unusually accommodating today. He drank three bowls of the soup in a row. Stella
would have had him finish the whole pot if she were not worried about the potency of the medicine.
Perhaps out of guilt, Stella, who used to insist on having Keegan clean up the kitchen after she cooked, took the
initiative today. She cleaned up everything herself and even filled the bathtub with water for Keegan to relax in.
Though Keegan was ready to expose Stella for "cheating" on him, he enjoyed all the attention from her.
When Keegan came out of the bathroom after his soak, Stella approached him with a bottle of essential oil, looking
rather eager. "Would you like to experience my massage techniques, honey?"
Keegan's gaze deepened. "What do you have there? Is it an aphrodisiac oil?"
Stella was momentarily stunned. She blushed and said, "It's a legitimate relaxing essential oil blend I had someone
else make. It's rather expensive. I can't even bear to use it on myself."
"I see," Keegan replied casually. He took off his bathrobe and tossed it aside before lying on the bed and saying,"
Ready."
His actions caused Stella to be at a loss for words. Stella's eyelid twitched when she saw him lying there with his
hands behind his head and his eyes closed, looking content. "Turn over. This is a back massage!"
Keegan frowned and lay on his stomach, not entirely pleased with the arrangement.

Stella kicked off her shoes and sat on his legs. She poured some oil into her hands and rubbed them as she gently
applied it to Keegan's back.
It had been a while since Keegan had a massage. While Stella's techniques might not be as good a professional, her
status in Keegan's heart elevated his comfort level.
"How does it feel, honey? Is it good?"
Stella was tired after massaging Keegan's back for some time. Meanwhile, Keegan moaned in pleasure with his
eyes closed.
"Does anything feel different than usual?" Stella inquired further.
Keegan's eyelashes fluttered, but he did not open his eyes." In what aspect are you referring to?" he asked.
"All of them. I want to know the effects of the chicken soup you just drank. Are you experiencing any unusual
sensations, like feeling hot all over? Do you feel anything out of the ordinary compared to your usual state?"
Keegan pondered for a moment and said, "Yeah. I feel a little different."
All of a sudden, Stella became excited. "Tell me the specifics."
"Well, it feels a bit warmer than usual. And my mouth is a little dry," Keegan replied.
