    Chapter 1074


    Keegan almost let out augh, but he held himself back and cast a cold nce at Ste.


    "I want you to show me affection, not buffoonery," he said, unsatisfied.


    Ste''s lips twitched, and she said, "Don''t push it, Keegan."


    With that, he found another thing to argue about.


    "You keep getting impatient with me.You can''t evenst a minute, yet you were patient with Marshall


    from the beginning.I was clearly injured more badly than him when we had that horse race at


    Grandma''s ce.But you left with him without even looking back.Don''t you think that it was too much?"


    Keegan''s words left Ste stunned.


    "Aren''t you standing right in front of me now with no injuries?"


    Keegan immediately felt wronged.


    "I dislocated my arm, Ste! He just scraped himself a little.I''m sure the wound scabbed over when the


    two of you reached the hospital!"


    Ste was taken aback when she heard that.


    "Why didn''t you tell me you were injured?"


    Keegan thought that he had already let go of that matter.


    However, when Ste asked him that question, he felt more and more aggrieved.


    "You rushed up to me and scolded me at that time.You med me for his injury because I was the one


    who wanted to have the race with him.How was I supposed to tell you?"


    Keegan looked down and said, "Even if I did say something, you wouldn''t have cared anyway since


    you hated me so much."


    Ste opened her mouth, but no words came out.


    After a long time, she said, "I didn''t know you were hurt.Plus, I wasn''t scolding just because Mr.Moore


    got hurt.I was...in shock."


    Ste almost had a heart attack when Keegan fell off the horse. novelebook She only breathed a


    sigh of relief when she saw him get up from the ground and walk toward them.


    Other than being in shock, she hated herself for still caring about Keegan after their divorce.Her two


    conflicting emotions then led her to give the man a tongueshing.


    Keegan was startled.His heart went soft when he saw Ste''s expression.He gently rubbed her hand


    and whispered, "Forget it.I forgive you."


    Hearing those words, Ste was a little puzzled.


    ''l wasn''t trying to apologize.I''m not the only person at fault here"


    "Just don''t smile at him like that next time."


    Ste could not believe her ears, but she said, "I will try to avoid having contact with him the next time


    we meet, okay?"


    Keegan nodded.


    "Great."


    Ste hit him in the arm and said, "There''s no need to be jealous.I wasn''t worried about him because


    he was special to me.I just felt sorry for him.You know about his previous injury, right? The huge burn?"


    Keegan paused, and his expression slightly tightened.


    "How do you know about his burn?" He asked in a deep voice.


    "He showed me,"


    Ste blurted out.


    Keegan gritted his teeth, and his face darkened.


    "He showed you? How? By taking off his clothes in front of you?"


    Ste''s mouth twitched.


    "What are you thinking about? Remember how we take my grandpa on a cruise? I..."


    Ste paused before she continued, "I saw the wound when he rolled up his sleeves to wash his


    hands."


    Keegan noticed the pause.He gauged her expression and snorted, "You mean when he was making


    you pasta?"


    Ste did not answer.


    She ignored Keegan''s unwarranted jealousy and said, "He''s so young, yet his body is full of scars, and


    he also has migraines.I feel sorry for him, especially after you told me a few days ago that he


    witnessed his brother''s death when he was a child.Though, he is optimistic about life and very soft-


    spoken.I feel bad every time I want to say something harsh to him.How could I possibly yell at that


    man?"

    A strange expression appeared on Keegan''s face.


    After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Did he tell you how he got his injury?"


    Ste shook her head.


    "No.He doesn''t seem to remember much.I think his brain is blocking the memory, which is normal.Like,


    I wouldn''t want to recall the day my mom and I got into the car ident.It would be great if I could


    erase that painful memory from my mind."


    Ste paused briefly, asking, "Do you know how he got that injury?"


    Keegan nced at her and said, "Didn''t you just say you wouldn''t talk to him anymore? Why are you


    getting so concerned about him now?"


    "Can''t I just gossip a little?"
