Chapter 947


    The next morning, Keegan woke up with a hangover and a throbbing headache. He wanted to rub his


    temples, but he noticed someone was pressing onto his arm as soon as he tried to raise it. Keegan


    froze and turned to find Ste lying beside him with her head resting on his upper limb.


    Keegan’s expression rxed as his thumb gently stroked against her cheek. Ste found it itchy and


    reached out to scratch her face. Keegan skillfully dodged her hand and continued rubbing her cheek


    once she went back to sleep.


    Ste frowned. She got mad after not being able to catch what was grazing her face. All of a sudden,


    she opened her eyes and met Keegan’s gaze. The ambiance in the room was awkward yet romantic.


    Ste licked her lips and exined, “You were drunkst night and wouldn’t let me leave, so I stayed.”


    “Mhm,” Keegan replied in eptance of her statement, but his expression showed otherwise. His half-


    smile seemed to be saying, “You’re making this up.”


    Ste pursed her lips and said, “I’m telling the truth. Ask Aldor if you don’t believe me.’


    “Sure,” Keegan gently stroked her hair and said. His eyes were drawn to her. Ste could not stand him


    looking at her like that, so she reached out and covered his eyes.


    “Whatever!” She gritted her teeth and said.


    Keegan chuckled, pulled her hand toward his lips, and kissed it. “Were you worried that I would choke


    on my vomit in my sleep?”


    When Keegan opened his eyes that morning, he saw the things that Ste had ced next to him. It


    was not the first time she had done something like this. Whenever Keegan came home drunk from


    social gatherings in the past, Ste would take care of him even though she said she disliked it.


    “Yes. I don’t have a name or ce in your family yet. I’m not even qualified to inherit your estate right


    now. It would be a waste of my time if you died,” Ste paused and said in a serious manner.


    Keegan was not angry when he heard that. He even muffled augh for a while before he said, “Then,


    let’s go get that marriage certificate. You’ll have a secure future with that thing if I di-“


    Ste immediately put her hand over Keegan’s mouth and red at him.” Please stop with the


    nonsense. It’s still early.” She never thought that Keegan would suggest getting married since she was


    only joking.


    Ste used to think that Cordelia was superstitious when she apanied her to the temple to pray for


    blessings. However, she realized that some things should not be joked about when it came to the


    people she cared for, fearing that the worse woulde true.


    Keegan kissed her on the palm of her hand before taking it away. He then whispered, “I want to get


    married again.”

    Ste did not want to talk about it.


    “We haven’t gone through everything in a marriage the first time we got married,” Keegan added.


    “I’ve done my part in the marriage, Keegan. You’re the one who didn’t do yours,” Ste nced at him


    and said.


    Keegan was taken aback. “That’s why I need to make up for it,” he said.


    “You know how people in ancient times would use a rooster to rece a groom who can’t show up for


    his wedding? Yeah. You should just buy a hen and marry it.” Ste sat up and replied.


    Keegan was speechless. He sat up and froze. ‘Why are my pants halfway to my knees?’ He looked up


    at Ste, and his confused state turned into a burning gaze. “Ste,” he called out.


    “What?” The woman turned her head and asked.


    Keegan coughed, and his eyes wandered around as he said, “What happenedst night was…


    consensual?”


    Ste did not understand what he was asking.


    Keegan seemed to be a little embarrassed. “I don’t remember what happened. I didn’t hurt you, did I?”


    Ste was at a loss for words. “You thought we had sexst night?”


    Hearing that, Keegan’s ears turned red. He wanted to tell Ste off, but he was worried that she would


    get mad at him. So, he held his tongue. “Can you be any more subtle?” He said after a long time.


    “Okay,” Ste replied. “You thought we did THATst night?”


    Keegan did not know what to say. ‘She might as well just stick with what she said earlier,’ he thought


    but ultimately decided not to talk about it.” Didn’t we?” he asked.


    “Of course not!” Ste immediately denied but Keegan did not fully believe her. “Why am I shirtless


    then?”


    “You took it off yourselfst night,” Ste responded.


    “Why would I take my shirt off for no good reason?’ Keegan doubted her im. He thought that Ste


    was afraid that he would take it to the next level, so she denied it on purpose.


    Ste nced at Keegan and said, “You even took off your pants to show me your…” She stretched


    out her finger and pointed to his crotch area.


    Keegan was bbergasted. ‘Nonsense! I would never do such a thing!” He embarrassingly said.


    “Why would I lie? You can always ask Aldor if you don’t believe me. You were literally running around


    the room without any pants on.”


    Keegan paused and widened his eyes. “And, Aldor knows about it?!”


    “I wouldn’t be able to carry you to the bed alone, would I?” Ste blinked and said.


    Keegan felt ufortable at that moment.


    Ste bit her lip, trying not tough. She then tried tofort him by saying, “Don’t worry. Aldor is one


    of us. I’m sure he wouldn’t spread the news. Besides, what’s wrong with him seeing you naked? Other


    males would only feel insecure about themselves if they saw you.”


    Keegan nced at her with a nasty look on his face. ‘Is that supposed to fucking make me feel better?’


    After teasing Keegan, Ste went to the bathroom happily to wash up. ‘I love drunk Keegan. He’s so


    always so dumb and confused the next day. He never gets mad no matter how much I tease him, and


    he’d immediately try to coax me if I pretended to be angry. Even though he’s not good with his words,


    he sure makes me want to tease him more. I must get him drunk again someday and pry out some


    deep and personal answers from him. He never talks about his feelings unless he’s drunk. Alcohol is


    fun.’


    When Aldor came to pick them up, he noticed that Keegan’s face was sullen, and his gaze was as


    gloomy as ever. It looked like someone owed him a million bucks. Aldor did not know the reason behind


    Keegan’s expression, so he acted more cautiously than before.


    Ste was scrolling through Facebook like she always did after getting into the car. She then saw the


    trending headline of the day. [Ynda Fenley in Critical Condition]
