Chapter 934


    Ste’s hand that was holding her phone paused as she immediately noticed Keegan’s jealousy.


    ‘Does this dumb man really think I have a crush on Trevor?’


    Ste rolled her eyes and suddenly started acting.


    She sighed and said, “I’d be lying if I said I have absolutely no feelings for him. He was once my crush,


    after all.”


    Keegan kept quiet.


    Then, he said in a deep voice, “Why did you reject him ande with me then?”


    “Because…” Ste drawled before whispering into Keegan’s ear, “Because someone looked so sad


    and disappointed, as if he would start crying if I didn’te with him. I couldn’t bear to see that.”


    Keegan paused and was delighted. He wrapped his arm around Ste’s waist and held her chin with


    another. Then, he gritted his teeth and said,” Who’s going to cry?”


    Ste chuckled and pinched his ear. “Were you worried that I’d go with him? N


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Keegan turned her head and kissed the back of her hand. ‘I’ll understand if you go with him because of


    work.” He paused before continuing, “I suddenly realized how you felt when I couldn’t make it to our


    date because of work after waiting for mest time.”


    Ste was a little surprised. “How did you feel?”


    Keegan said softly, “From filled with joy topletely empty inside. From feeling excited to feeling


    disappointed.”


    “How poetic of you.” Ste chuckled. “Actually, waiting isn’t scary, but waiting for nothing is.”


    Keegan paused and hugged her tighter. “I won’t make you wait anymore.”


    Ste said, “Let’s see how well you’ll do. After all, I can still terminate you after your probation period


    ends.”


    Keegan kept quiet.


    “What do you feel like eating?”


    Keegan asked Ste.


    Ste thought for a while. “Why don’t we just stick to the lie? Julian is leaving soon anyway. Let’s buy


    some gifts and pay him and Ms. Cooke a visit. What do you think?”


    Keegan said, “Sure. You’re the boss.”


    Ste took her phone and dialed Julian’s number. She told him they would bring some food and have a


    barbecue tonight. She also asked him to clean the yard and prepare the tools.


    Julian replied with an “OK” emoji very soon after that.


    Then, Aldor drove them to a nearby mall.


    They bought some ingredients at the supermarket, and Aldor carried the bags back to the car. Then,


    Ste grabbed Keegan’s arms and took him to shop in the mall.


    They dressed very casually. Ste was wearing a ten-dor dress that Felicity bought from an online


    shop. It was too tight for Felicity, and she could not wear it. She did not return it because the shipping


    fees were costly, so she gave it to Ste.


    Even though it was a cheap dress, its material was surprisingly soft and cooling. Ste wanted to wear


    it to sleep, but it looked good on her after she put it on, so she kept wearing it out.


    Keegan was not wearing anything fancy too. He had a shirt and a pair of long pants on. Ste bought


    them for him, and they cost around a hundred dors. His outfit was not considered very expensive


    because any working person would be able to afford that. However, he made them look like expensive


    garments because of how good-looking he was.


    Ste wanted to buy some gifts for Shelley and those kids in the welfare center, but she could not stop


    herself from going to the women’s section after circling around for a while.


    Women just could not get enough clothes, and Ste was no exception.


    She walked past a shop and could not take her eyes off the stic mannequin inside. Keegan was


    talking to her, but he felt she was not listening. He finally realized why.


    “Let’s have a look inside, shall we?” Keegan asked.


    Ste refused. “It’s okay. We’re supposed to be buying gifts for the kids.”


    Keegan said, “But the big kid here hasn’t bought new clothes in a long time.”
