"If only I hadn't left after you gave me the candy and sent me away. I definitely would've caught you
immediately. I was standing too far away."
’That's how Marshall beat me to the punch,' thought Keegan.
Stella was speechless.
Then, she was annoyed. "You've been thinking for two days, and this is the conclusion you came to?"
"No..." Keegan set down the bottle in his hand.
He continued, "I shouldn't have let Jaylene touch me, and I should've pushed her away. In fact, it
doesn't even matter if I was a little late, but I had to be facing you."
Stella was speechless again.
Aldor quietly increased the volume of his earphones.
"Don't try to play the sympathy card." Stella turned away and did not look at him.
Keegan lowered his gaze. "I want to play the sympathy card on you, but you said we don't even have
feelings of affection between us."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella was at a loss for words.
'We have no feelings for each other, and it'll be nothing but torture to the both of us if we force
ourselves to be together.'
She suddenly thought of the words she had said to the officer on the day they got divorced.
"To be honest, I felt really sad on the day we got married. I did not expect you to actually get a divorce.
You signed the papers so resolutely as if you didn't care about me at all."
He continued, "It's certainly not entirely your fault. I'm more at fault. I should... I should have been by
your side when you needed me the most and not let you feel disappointed in our marriage."
Stella clenched her fists as her heart trembled slightly.
'Keegan Kane, there's no fucking use regretting things now!' she thought.
She pursed her lips and said out of spite, "What's the point of saying all this now? I don't care
anymore."
"Stella." Keegan lifted his gaze. His eyes were a bit clouded. He shook his head and said in a low
voice, "I swear, something like this wont happen for a third time. Don't look at Marshall, and don't look
at Trevor either. Look at me, Stella..."
Before Keegan could finish his sentence, Stella heard a loud bang. Keegan had fallen onto the bed.
Stella was startled. She quickly jumped to her feet. "Keegan, what's wrong?!

However, Keegan did not respond. His eyes had dark eye circles under them.
Stella called out to Aldor in a panic. "Aldor! I think Keegan just fainted!"
Aldor removed his earphones and went to the back of the car.
He briefly examined Keegan and said, "Mr. Kane is fine. He was probably too tired and fell asleep."
Then, he picked up the glass Keegan drank earlier and glanced at it. "He also had some alcohol."
Stella glanced at it. It was an 11% cocktail drink.
She was at a loss for words.
"You can get drunk from this?"
Stella obviously did not buy it.
"Not usually, but Mr. Kane has been dealing with the effects from the banquet for the past two days.
He's been really busy and practically hasn't rested. When he's free, he even has to help Julian revise
for his exams. Mr. Kane has been really tense, and the alcohol probably triggered something, so he

Stella was in disbelief.
'Was he pouring his heart out to me just now because he was drunk?' she thought.
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Useless bastard!"
'This percentage of alcohol content was enough to get you drunk?!' she thought.
Meanwhile, the eyes of the person who was currently asleep on the bed twitched.
'I care a lot about how Stella said she didn't care anymore. Initially, I found it hard to say those things
aloud. I was even afraid to see Stella's reaction after hearing what I said. That's why I pretended to be
drunk after saying those things. Who would've thought Stella would call for Aldor after seeing me get
"drunk"? Just now, I was already prepared to send Aldor to a branch company if he exposed me. He's
pretty quick-witted, after all!’ he thought.
"Would you like to have a boba drink, Mrs. Kane?"
Aldor was really good at reading the room. "There's a boba shop across."
Stella had already overindulged in the morning, so she did not dare have any. However, she gave it
some thought and said, "Get Julian a cup of lemonade. It'll help him beat the heat after he finishes his
test later."
