Stella moved her finger to the end call button, but Keegan called her name.
"Stella."
Stella paused and did not tap on the button.
"You're not going to sleep yet?"
Keegan spoke very softly.
"Yeah," Stella said. She paused before she asked, "What about you?"
The expression on Keegan's face looked a lot more relaxed after hearing Stella's question. He
gestured to Aldor to keep quiet before going into the lounge. He loosened his tie and said softly, "I was
just about to."
Stella looked downward, grabbed her blanket, and said, "Oh."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan asked, "Why did you suddenly call me?"
Stella said, 'It was an accident."
Keegan then kept quiet and thought, 'I shouldn't have asked that.'
He ignored what Stella said and asked again, "You can't sleep?"
Stella answered dishonestly, ' Nope.''
Keegan chuckled. "Well, neither can I."
Stella nodded. "That's normal. You've been like this anyway. Maybe you're getting older. The doctor
said the older a person gets, the lesser they need to sleep."
Keegan was speechless.
Then, he said in a low voice, "Are you sleeping ten hours a day because you're sixteen then?"
Stella frowned. "When did I sleep for ten hours?”
Keegan kept quiet for a few seconds before he gritted his teeth and said, ’ I'm just complimenting you
for being young. Did you fail your reading comprehension in school?"
Stella kept quiet.
She coughed. "I'm not that young. Eighteen is more like it. There are too many things a sixteen-year-
old can't do."
Keegan's gaze darkened. "You're right. You can't use a gear stick if you're sixteen."
Stella almost choked on the water she was drinking as she stared at her phone and blushed. "G-gear
stick?"
Keegan said slowly, "The law states that the minimum age to obtain a driving license is eighteen, so
there's no way a sixteen-year-old can drive a car."
Stella's mouth twitched as she said prosaically, "Oh, is that what you meant?"
Keegan squinted. "Were you... thinking about something else?"
"No way!" Stella was like a cat whose tail was trampled. "That's exactly what I was talking about!" She

"Oh," Keegan responded in a laid-back manner before he continued softly,' To be honest, I'm a bigger
fan of what you were thinking, but it wont be possible until you turn eighteen. I dont want to commit any
crimes."
Stella then felt a rush of blood inside her. She blushed and said while gritting her teeth, "Verbal
harassment; ten points deducted!"
Keegan was speechless.
"Can I keep harassing you, then? You said that it's not accumulative, right?"
Stella's eyes twitched. "Are you throwing the helve after the hatchet because you already have
negative ten thousand points now?"
Keegan chuckled. "One has to break something to make a breakthrough, right? I'm curious to find out
how low my points can go."
Stella scoffed. "I'm sure you can reach negative one hundred thousand points if you're so desperate to
find out."
Keegan laughed for a while as if he was in a very good mood before he asked softly, "Are you feeling
any better?"
