Chapter 983
"My head hurts," Keegan said. Stella beckoned him over and said, "Come here." Keegan came closer and asked,
"Why?" Stella put his head on her lap and massaged his temples." To help you with the headache," she said.
Keegan took in her scent, buried his face in her arms, and closed his eyes.
Stella had strong fingers and great techniques. Keegan felt a lot better after a while.
"I just heard you talking to Howard," Stella brought up.
"Oh. Don't mind him," said Keegan.
Stella pinched his hard and stubbled chin, asking, "Aren't you moping because of what he said?" Keegan froze for a
moment and let out a low laugh. Stella was puzzled. "What are you laughing at?"
"Are you thinking that I'm feeling down because I feel sorry for her but don't know what to do because, at the same
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime, I care for you?"
"Is that not what's happening?"
Keegan grabbed Stella's hand and put it on his forehead," You don't know her at all. She's not trying to trick me into
going back for her; she's forcing me. Today, it's Howard's mother; tomorrow, it might be Marshall's or Vermont's
family. She will use those who don't know the truth and are
close to me to get me back. Parading your family problems out to the world is not a good thing. She's doing it
because she's betting that I'd take her back into the home to save my reputation."
Dahlia was a selfish, narcissistic, and arrogant person.
Keegan was the one who kicked her out of the Kane residence. Even if she was unhappy, Dahlia would never ask
Keegan to take her back herself. She wanted him to be the one to take the first step.
Keegan knew her all too well. When his father refused to help the Crosby family clean up their mess, Dahlia
quarreled with him and ran away from home with Aurora.
No matter how many times the Kane family asked her to return, she refused. However, she kept telling Quentin's
friends about her unstable life and complicated pregnancy.
No matter the reason, anyone would judge the Kane family if they found out a pregnant woman, who was about to
give birth, was living on her own instead of with her husband. In the end, Quentin was the one who had to
compromise.
Now that the same trick was being used on him, Keegan found it pathetic. Their little mother-son relationship was
over the day Dahlia was cruel to Stella.
Keegan did not expose his mother or take things to the extreme because he wanted to leave her the last piece of
decency. However, whether Dahlia was sick or not, he would not change his decision. 'I wouldn't have kicked her out
of the house in the first place if I cared about what others think.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella stroked the top of his head and asked, "Then why are you so glum?"
"I was just bummed to see Howard," said Keegan.
Stella was confused. "Why? Didn't you have a good relationship with him before?"
"It was average, I'd say."
"Would you have let him come over if it was just average?" Stella poked at him and said, "He used to come over a
lot when we first married."
Thinking of this, Stella smiled, "He even complimented me on my desserts."
Keegan got even more upset when she said that. "He doesn't know shit! I'd rather give them to the dogs than that
guy!"
Stella was taken aback. 'It's confirmed; Keegan is drunk. He would never swear or say such things if sober,' she
thought.
However, he is also cute when he swears.
