    Chapter 984


    Ste was amused and decided to y along.


    "What did he do to deserve this reaction from you?"


    After a long time, Keegan pursed his lips and told the story in bits and parts.


    From his incoherent speech, Ste found out that Keegan disliked Howard because of her.She never


    thought that she would be the reason.


    The details were both funny and heartbreaking.


    Ste did not know Keegan very well when they first got married.


    So, she decided to talk to his friends to find out what he liked.


    Since they did not really know her and may not want to engage with her, Ste often made desserts to


    bribe them into letting her learn more about Keegan.


    Keegan''s friends were good people.


    After receiving her gifts, they would tell Ste about his likes and dislikes.


    Keegan did not know about this at first, but when he found out, he had a fight with her.


    Ste always thought it was because he was ashamed of her trying to tter his friends with desserts.


    But now, she realized it was because Keegan overheard Howard saying mean things about her.


    He would tell people that she was "all beauty, no brains" or that she was using her looks to get favors


    from men and climb to the top.


    Keegan chose to use nicer words in his exnation because the ones Howard had used were way


    worse.


    Howard''sments affected other people''s perceptions of Ste at the beginning of her union with


    Keegan for a long time.


    Keegan was understandably upset when he heard that.


    He had let Howard into his home and treated him well, yet Howard went behind his back and


    badmouthed his wife.


    So, Keegan went off on him right there and then.


    When Keegan returned home that day, he saw Ste burn her hand making desserts.


    She even asked him to bring some for his friends when they met the next day.


    Keegan''s face turned dark He did not hold back from telling her that she should stop putting effort into


    these things and that it was useless.


    Ste felt hurt after Keegan burst her bubble. novelebook She was so angry and disappointed that


    she threw away all her dessert molds and did not talk to him for several days.


    From then on, she subconsciously avoided his circle of friends.


    As Ste listened to Keegan ramble on about the incident, she suddenly asked, ''''So it''s not because


    you don''t like me around your circle of friends?"


    Keegan was stunned and frowned, "Isn''t it you who don''t like being around them? You pull a long face


    whenever you''re invited to a gathering."


    Ste was surprised, "When have you ever invited me? "Did you forget?"


    Keegan asked.


    Ste was taken aback for a moment.


    "Give me a hint, Mr.Kane."


    "Vermont held a grand opening ceremony for hispany.I asked if you wanted toe along, but


    you pulled such a long face that you looked like a donkey.You even told me I could bring whoever I


    want," Keegan grunted.


    Ste thought about it and recalled the incident.


    It was nothing like the version Keegan provided.He was not the type to ask if someone wanted to go


    nicely.His exact words were, "Vermont is holding a grand opening for his newpany today.He asked


    if you wanted toe.Do you? I won''t bring my secretary if you do.There won''t be enough seats."


    No one would be happy to hear that invitation.

    ''Well, you''ve already decided to bring your secretary.So why would you need your wife there?''


    novelebook Ste thought.


    "You can bring whoever you want because I''m not going!" She replied.


    Ste pinched Keegan''s ears and gritted her teeth, "Is that even a proper invitation? You literally asked


    me if I wanted to go AFTER you nned to attend the event with your female secretary."


    Keegan frowned in pain and whispered, "I didn''t n on doing that. I just said that on purpose so you''d


    care about me."


    Ste was speechless.
