Chapter 940
Keegan did not say anything. Instead, he lifted his ss and chugged it down again.
Shelley poured him another ss after they finished their drinks. “I’m going to tell you a secret about
Ste. Can I trust you on this?”
Keegan put on a serious look and said in a deep voice. ’I’m all ears.”
Shelley looked at Ste, who was ying with the children, and said softly,” Ste is not Rainee’s
biological daughter. She’s not an illegitimate child.”
Keegan paused, and his expression looked even more serious. “How did you know that?”
Shelley bowed her head down. “I apanied Rainee to do the paternity test. I promised Rainee that
I’d bring this secret to my grave. However, she’s not here anymore, and Ste is the only person she’d
ever care about.
“There’s only so much I can do as a partner that she trusts. I couldn’t help her much with her marriage
or work. I know there are a lot of rules in a wealthy family like yours, and everybody takes social status
very seriously. I’m only telling you this because I don’t want you to have a gap with her just because
she did note from a legitimate family. Even if you can’t make it to the end for her, I don’t wish to
see this as why you guys break up because that’s just not the truth.’
Keegan could not process what was happening.
‘Ste has all the documents to prove that she’s the daughter of Rainee. How is this possible?’
Then, he asked in a low voice, ’Who are her biological parents then?”
Shelley shook her head. “I have no idea, as she was mistaken as someone else’s daughter in the
maternity ward. Rainee’s health deteriorated after giving birth to her child, making it almost impossible
to be pregnant again. Nevertheless, she did everything she could to raise Ste, so she did not want to
give her up even after finding out the truth.
“Even though they were not blood-rted, their feelings for each other were genuine. She just couldn’t
find herself leaving the child that she had raised. Also, she had no clue where her own child was. She
couldn’t ept that she would be away from Ste and her biological daughter, so she didn’t look for
her real parents. However, she did try to find her biological daughter, but to no avail.”
Keegan massaged his temple as the alcohol started kicking in. He had a lot of questions for Shelley,
but he just could not think straight.
Then, Shelley continued, “Don’t tell Ste about this. It’ll only worsen if she still can’t find her after
knowing the truth.”
For some reason, Keegan reminded himself of how devastated Ste looked during Rainee’s funeral,
and he felt a stinging sensation in his heart. “Okay,” he said after keeping quiet for a while.
Ste only left the children after Shelley left and sat beside Keegan. “What were you talking about with
Ms. Cooke?”

Keegan’s forehead rested on his palm while propping his elbow on the table. He opened his eyes and
looked at Ste when he heard her voice.
Ste had so much fun with the children that her cheeks looked so pinkish, and her eyes sparkled.
Keegan stroked Ste’s hair. “Ms. Cooke said you’re bad-tempered and told me to ept you for who
you are.”
Ste paused. “I think she was saying the opposite.”
Keegan smiled and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Please ept me for who I am, then.”
Ste said, “Am I not epting enough? I’m always the one who cleans up your mess whenever you
get drunk.”
Then, she handed him a cup of water. “You know you have low tolerance, yet you always drink so
much. Does that mouth of yours only know how to insult other people but not reject them?”
Keegan took the water. Then, he smiled and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Kane.”
Ste gazed at him. “Don’t push your luck.’
Keegan was exhausted. He took a sip of the water and continued toy on her shoulder. Then, he
suddenly spoke after hearing what Ste said. “The doctor said we should at least do the deed twice
weekly. It’s been more than a week since west did it.”
Ste kept quiet.
