Chapter 1787
Keegan nibbled his lip, feeling a weird sensation in his heart. His time with Stella before they got married didn’t
seem as rocky as his mom said. 'But then, why would I still have something she casually sketched in my desk
drawer?'
After staring at the drawing for a prolonged moment, he placed it back into the drawer.
"Aldor, inform everyone I won't attend the gathering today. Charge tonight's expenses to my account. We'll have
another gathering once I settle the matters at hand."
Aldor nodded, then asked, Mr. Kane, there are new desserts at Memorie Baker. Should we get some for Mrs. Kane?"
"No need. Pregnant women should watch their sugar. It could make the baby too big for an easy birth," Keegan said

This puzzled Aldor. 'When did he learn all this?'
Keegan was surprised himself. He hadn't tried to remember it. When he stopped Stella from having an abortion, he
had skimmed a booklet about caring for moms and babies. The details stuck in his head without much thought.
He hesitated before saying, "Contact the owner of The Deli. Ask for pelmeni with shrimp filling. I'll pick them up
later."
"Alright."
As Aldor was about to leave, Keegan stopped him, "About the items I asked you to collect at the hospital today..."
Aldor nodded and whispered, "We're already checking on it."
"Good. Be careful. Keep it low-key."
As Keegan returned, Stella was chatting with Trevor on the phone.
Hearing the door, she peeked from the balcony and said, "I have to go. Keegan is back. Remember to text me
before your flight tomorrow. Help me with what I asked, please."
Trevor grunted, "Sure thing, you sneaky one."
Stella laughed, "I'll cook something special for you when you're back. Even Keegan doesn't get this treatment."
Trevor was happy but teased, "Your sweet talk won't work. I'll make a fuss if I don't get that promised feast."
Stella laughed and chatted a bit more with Trevor before ending the call.
As she came inside from the balcony, she bumped into Keegan.
He glanced at her phone and calmly said, "Cell phones emit radiation. Not good for expecting moms."
Stella rolled her eyes. "WiFi does too. Are you planning to take down all the signal towers in the city?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeegan nodded and went closer, saying, "Head to the dining room. I brought pelmeni for you. Have something
before resting."
Stella hesitated, a bit surprised.
Keegan's sudden consideration made her feel a little uneasy. She'd been discussing ways to win Keegan back with
Felicity earlier. Although she didn’t know when or how Keegan fell for her initially, she believed she had some
knowhow now. 'I can be a caring wife, make him lunch daily, and entice him with alluring outfits, even if all he can
do right now is look.'
Stella had many plans, but she didn't anticipate Keegan taking the lead.
She stared at the hot pelmeni before her, softly stirring them with a spoon. "Shrimp filling?"
"Yeah."
Stella felt moved, thinking he'd remembered her preferences even without recalling her.
Surprisingly, Keegan added, "Shrimp is good for expecting moms."
Instantly, Stella lost her appetite.
