Chapter 939


    Keegan paused. “How did he look like?” “He’s a short man and about forty to fifty years old. He wore a


    face mask and a cap. I couldn’t see his face. However, his eyes did look wrinkly. He came to donate,


    yet he just wouldn’t stop asking about Ste and Ms. Spade. He looked a little downhearted after


    finding out that Ms. Spade had passed away. Then, he donated a few thousand dors and asked Ms.


    Cooke where Ms. Spade’s grave was before leaving. I feel like he knew Ms. Spade, but he denied it


    when Ms. Cooke asked him that. He just feels strange.”


    Keegan frowned.


    ‘A short middle-aged man?’


    He tried to think of a man like that who could be rted to the Spade family, yet he just could not think


    of one.


    “What else did he say?”


    Julian thought for a while and said, “That’s about it. He went through a few photos of Ms. Spade and


    Ste. Also, he said that he would visit again at some other time.”


    Keegan paused and thought of a possibility. ‘Could he be… Ste’s biological father?”


    He heard Ste’s voice from afar while still in his thoughts. “You two, get over here now! We need


    help!”


    Keegan recollected himself and patted Julian’s arm before saying tly,” Let’s get to work.”


    Ste was teasing the children of the welfare center while holding the gifts she bought. She told them


    they could have the gifts if they could put on a good show for her. The children were shy at first, but


    they began to open themselves up and show Ste what they could do after a while.


    Keegan watched her performing clumsily with the kids at the side. He was amused by how


    unrestrained she was as he subconsciously put on a faint smile.


    “Mr. Kane.”


    He heard Shelley’s voice.


    Keegan turned around and saw Shelley holding a ss of alcohol as she looked at him benevolently.


    “Can I have a drink with you?”

    Keegan stretched his hands out and softly replied, “You’re my elder. I should be the one asking you


    that question.”


    Shelley shook her head. “I would never be able toe this far with these kids without you. You


    deserve this.’


    Keegan paused and smiled. Even though he had been donating to the welfare center anonymously,


    Shelley knew exactly who that donator was. All the huge transactions came from a local bank ount


    of Rivera, and he was the only person rted to Ste that could afford to do that.


    Then, he took the ss of wine without saying anything else. Shelley clinked her ss with his and


    said. ‘Please make yourself at home.”


    She downed her ss of alcohol after saying that.


    Keegan did not feel like drinking because he knew his tolerance was not high. He rarely got to be


    together with Ste, and he did not want to be drunk and miss out on a chance to spend time with her.


    However, he figured it would be impolite for him not to drink with Shelley after she finished her drink.


    So, he chugged it down too.


    Shelley poured him another ss. “Here’s another one on behalf of Rainee.” Keegan paused and


    suddenly felt guilty as he did not help much at


    Rainee’s funeral. Even worse, he neglected Ste and left her high and dry.


    “I…” Keegan pursed his lips. “I don’t deserve it.”


    Shelley said, “But you took good care of Ste. I hardly saw a smile on her in those two years after


    what happened to Rainee. Even when she did smile, it could never be as lively as any young person’s.


    Then, she started smiling so much more after getting married to you. I believe Rainee’s biggest wish is


    to see Ste being together with a good partner that she could depend on and not trust the wrong


    person like she did.”
