Chapter 964


    Ste smacked the back of his hand and red at him. “I texted you on WhatsApp. Didn’t you check


    your phone?”


    “You asked me to take a good rest, right?”


    Ste paused. ’I sent you a few messages. I told you I needed to do a favor for Marshall, and I was


    going to see you after your rest.”


    Keegan frowned. “I only read the message about resting.”


    The other messages were probably erased or dyed because he had to switch off his phone.


    Then, Ste repeated everything that was happening to him. “He said that others had introduced him to


    several girls, and he thought it would be inappropriate to keep rejecting them. So, he lied about having


    a girlfriend. But, Duncan asked him to bring his girlfriend along to attend his wedding. He couldn’t find a


    girl, so he came to me and asked for my help. I was afraid that you’d misunderstand anything, so I


    called you. But, your phone was switched off.


    ‘Can’t find a girl?’


    Keegan scoffed.


    “Do you have no principles? You’re a married woman. How could you do a favor like this?”


    “You’re just my boyfriend on probation.’ Ste corrected him. She paused for a moment before she


    continued, “Marshall was the one who handled my mother’s funeral arrangement. I just couldn’t refuse


    him.”


    Ste noticed that Keegan still looked a little unhappy after she said that. So, she stretched her pinky


    out and hooked his palm before she softly said, “Besides, I didn’t want to hide this from you. I called


    and texted you.”


    However, Keegan was not mad at her.


    He was only angry because Marshall was the reason why she had to put so much makeup on her face,


    and she only had to help him because she owed him a favor.


    He regretted everything that he did before and after the divorce. He figured that Marshall would never


    have an opportunity to make Ste owe him a favor if he would just control his temper and


    communicate more with Ste. He just could not ept the fact that Marshall guilt trip Ste into doing


    such a thing to repay him.


    Keegan took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. Then, he pinched her earlobe and asked softly,


    ’Who made you look like this?”


    Ste answered, “A makeup artist that Marshall hired. He imed that no one would recognize me with


    this makeup.”


    Then, she paused before sheined, ‘I thought you’d recognize me with just a nce!”


    Keegan kept quiet.

    “I didn’t wear my sses.”


    Ste was speechless.


    ‘How could I forget that?


    ‘Keegan is nearsighted.’


    Keegan would not normally wear spectacles or contact lenses unless it was for an important asion.


    “Do you want to go home?” Keegan held her in his arms. “Do you want me to drive you back?”


    He did not want to see Ste standing next to Marshall, even if it was just for the show.


    “I don’t think so,” Ste said softly. “I’m going to be alone at home since you’ll still be here. I don’t want


    to go back.”


    Keegan’s heart immediately softened after hearing what Ste said.


    However, he said this anyway, “Then, you better not hold his hand. Stay away from him.”


    Ste said, ’I was nning to leave right after meeting the bride and groom anyway. I didn’t expect that


    you’d show up.”


    She chuckled after she said that. “So, that’s how you look when somebody else teases you. You’re so


    hostile.” She paused for a moment before leaning into his ear. “Are you really not into wild kittens?”


    Keegan’s gaze turned deep. “Do you want to finish what we started?”


    Ste quickly shut up.


    When they were tidying up in the washroom, Ste suddenly said while looking in the mirror, “Did you


    feel like you were cheating with someone else when you were kissing me just now?”


    Keegan was speechless.


    He then said, “It’s okay to keep quiet when you have nothing to say, baby.”


    Ste paused. ’What did you call me?”
