Keegan would start arguing with Stella without hesitation if he were to hear the same thing back then.
Aurora was different from Dahlia to him as he really treated Aurora as his sister.
Keegan and Quentin both looked forward to Aurora coming into this world. Aurora used to like him very
much. She always kept the best things from everybody else because she wanted to give them to
Keegan.
Keegan started living with Cordelia after Quentin passed away. He spent most of his childhood with
Cordelia ever since he almost drowned.
Cordelia was worried that Dahlia would make a mistake while raising Keegan. She also hated how she
viewed things. All Dahlia thought about was the Crosbys, and she did not want Dahlia to corrupt
Keegan. So, Cordelia decided to raise him despite her age.
However, Aurora was too young and could not live without her mother yet. Dahlia would not let Cordelia
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttake Aurora away from her either, so Cordelia let her take care of Aurora.
After Quentin passed away, Keegan and Aurora would only see each other on the weekends and
holidays.
Time passed, and Aurora grew up. Then, she lost the innocence she once had when she was younger.
Aurora would treat Stella fairly well in front of Keegan when they were still married but do the complete
opposite behind his back. Even though Stella had never complained about Aurora and Dahlia to him, it
did not mean there was nothing wrong between them.
Perhaps Keegan was biased, and he let it slide when Aurora said something disrespectful because he
thought she was just spoiled.
However, he began connecting the dots after thinking of what happened back then.
For example, Aurora knew that he purposely bought a cake for Stella to celebrate her birthday with her,
yet Aurora purposely took it to throw a party and told him that Stella allowed her to do so.
Also, Aurora knocked over the essential oil he bought for Stella when he went on a business trip
because she could not find her souvenir.
Stella told him Aurora did that on purpose, but he did not confront her because it was just a bottle of
essential oil.
Even though the essential oil bottle meant nothing, it made him realize the small little evil things Aurora
did and how blinded he was.
She would always act like a spoiled and wayward girl, like she was younger, in front of the people she
was familiar with, like himself or Marshall. However, she did not bother to hide her wicked nature in
front of outsiders.
Dahlia spoiled her too much, and Keegan thought that Stella was very right when she said Aurora
would do whatever she
wanted without thinking if it was right or wrong. To her, every mistake she committed and the people
she harmed could be fixed with money and the influence of the Kane family.
How Dahlia raised her corrupted her moral compass, making her think that everything in the world
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould be fixed because of how powerful her family was.
"You're right. Perhaps I never really know her." Keegan pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "In these
years, without me knowing, did she treat you... particularly bad?"
Stella paused and stretched the corner of her mouth. Then, she said after a while, "Keegan, something
happened after we got married. I never dared to tell you about it."
Keegan looked at her and felt a little uneasy. "What is it?"
Stella looked down and said, "Perhaps I'm not very forgiving, but I would never hate Aurora this much
just because she said something disrespectful to me.
"She's your sister, and I'm your wife. I did not expect a good relationship with her after marrying you. I
was prepared to do whatever it took to get along with her.
"She's the only daughter in your family, and it's perfectly fine for her to be a little spoiled and willful,
but..." She felt disgusted, but she hid it from Keegan and continued, "I can't forgive her for taking me to
Jackson's bed on the night we got married."
The look on Keegan's face changed completely. "W-what did you say?"
