    Each of the guests left after that.


    When Ste passed by Keegan, she whispered, "I need to go to the bathroom.Wait for me."


    Keegan touched the back of her hand with his to show that he understood.He did not have much to


    drink today; the alcohol content of the drinks was rtively low.He was not fully drunk but did not feel


    very well either.However, he remembered what Ste told him and obediently waited for her in the


    corridor.


    When Howard came out of the guest room, he saw Keegan standing at the end of the corridor, getting


    some air.He then decided to walk over and said, "Keegan, long time no see."


    Keegan froze and did not answer him.


    Howard did not find it awkward.


    Instead, he continued, ''I was busy a while ago and couldn''t attend Mrs.Kane Sr"s birthday party.How is


    she?"


    Ste just came out of the restroom when she heard Howard''s voice.


    ''Sounds like they''re exchanging pleasantries.The birthday party was over months ago"


    Ste did not want to interrupt the two men, so she stood out of their sight and listened quietly.


    "She''s fine," Keegan answered concisely.


    Howard continued, "Your mom invited my mom for tea a few days ago.I heard she went to the hospital


    two days ago.The doctors said she had a cyst.I noticed she had lost a lot of weight.She kept talking


    about you, though.Talking about how she worries if you''re being taken care of."


    Ste''s expression was hard to read at the mention of Dahlia.She had been so busy with work that she


    had not heard from her for a long time.She knew about Dahlia leaving the Kane residence but never


    asked Keegan about it.


    A while ago, Ste had heard from Olivia that Dahlia was renting a house in their neighborhood.She


    seemed to have been kicked out of the Crosby residence as well.


    However, Ste was busy then, so she did not ask for more details.


    ‘It seems like Dahlia is at the end of her rope.She''s probably nning to trick Keegan into taking her


    back again, and Howard is obviously here to speak for her"


    The corners of Keegan''s mouth twitched when he heard about his mother.He looked at Howard and


    said, "Shouldn''t she be telling me—her son—that she misses me and not you, an outsider?"


    "My mom was the one who told me.She''s worried about your mom''s health.You should visit her if you''re


    not too busy with work It''s not easy for her, you know, being alone, especially since your dad is gone,"


    novelebook Howard exined.


    Keegan was already feeling dizzy before this.


    Hearing that, his face turned cold immediately.


    "I don''t need you to lecture me.I know what my responsibilities are.Take her into your home if you pity


    her that much.Go be the caring son she wants me to be."


    Howard was taken aback for a moment.He did not expect Keegan to say something like that and did


    not know what to say.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Keegan ignored him and left with a sullen face.


    Soon, Ste received Keegan''s message: [I''ll wait for you in the car.]


    When she got into the car, the man was already leaning against the seat, resting.He did not even open


    his eyes when she entered.


    '' I guess he must be asleep" thought Ste.


    "Madam..."


    Aldor whispered.


    Ste brought her index finger to her lips, gesturing him to stay silent, and whispered, "Home."


    Aldor immediately started the car after that.


    Ste grabbed the makeup remover wipes from her bag and removed her makeup while looking into a


    compact mirror.


    When she was almost done, she put down the mirror and saw Keegan looking at her with his head


    tilted.


    "You awake?" novelebook Ste asked in a low voice.


    Keegan pursed his lips.


    "I wasn''t asleep."


    "So you heard me get into the car and ignored me?"
