    Ste’s face darkened, and she hit him on the shoulders.” I’m not the one to me if you fail at


    cooking. It must be because youck talent!”


    “Okay. So Ick talent. Can you invest more of your attention on me, Ms. Jewell?” Keegan chuckled.


    “Stop fooling around and drive. The fish’s gonna go bad if we don’t get home soon,” Ste urged as


    she fastened her seat belt. Keegan stopped talking and began to drive.


    When they arrived, Ste went upstairs to change. Keegan had just taken off his coat when his phone


    rang. It was Trevor. ‘He’s definitely calling to talk about the incident.’


    As Keegan expected, Trevor questioned him as soon as he answered the phone. “I allowed Ste to


    stay with you, and this is how you take care of her? I should’ve gotten her out of there from the start!”


    Keegan put his phone on the table and went to pour himself a ss of water. He did not listen to a


    single word of Trevor’s subsequentints and usations since he already knew what he would


    say. Trevor no longer held back ever since Keegan found out about Ste’s identity. He had been


    acting strange the past few days, sending pictures of Ste being intimate with her photo shoot


    partners to Keegan in thete nights.


    Keegan had a good idea of what his childhood friend,


    Trevor, was trying to do. ‘He’s clearly trying to make me mad and use it as an excuse to get Ste out


    of here. Ste had always been one to put family first. She’ll probably follow Trevor’s unreasonable


    request of breaking things off with me once she meets the family. So, I can’t retaliate right now, no


    matter how harsh Trevor’s words can be. The mall incident happened under my watch. There’s no way


    he’ll let me go easily without giving me a scolding.’


    Seeing that there was no response from Keegan, Trevor’s face darkened as he said, “I asked you a


    question, Keegan! Why isn’t Ste answering my calls? Did you ask her not to pick up the phone?”


    Keegan put his ss down and nicely said, “What are you talking about, my dear brother-inw? I


    wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing. You know I want to remarry her.”


    Trevor was so used to being called “brother-inw” by Keegan these days that he didn’t even bother to


    correct him. “Then why isn’t she answering my calls? Where is she?”


    “She’s upstairs, changing. We just got home.”


    “How bad is the injury? Is it serious?”


    “It’s pretty bad,” said Keegan.


    Trevor’s tone changed once he heard that. “How so? Did she suffer from an internal injury, or are her


    looks affected?”


    “None of those,” Keegan said slowly.

    “Then what’s the matter? Tell me!” Trevor was getting so anxious that he felt like rushing to Keegan’s


    ce as soon as possible. The only person to whom Ste had responded after the incident was


    Kaiden. Trevor would not have contacted Keegan if not for how he could not get ahold of his sister.


    ‘Can he just tell me already?!’


    “The cut’s pretty small and not that deep, so she didn’t need any fancy surgery. She did cry earlier


    because she was in pain, but don’t worry; Iforted her all the way home.”


    Why, this little mutt… I can’t believe he’s trying to show off in front of me right now!’


    “There’s no way she cried from an injury. She didn’t even shed a tear when you bowed in front of so


    many people at Rainee’s funeral. I bet she cried because she was angry at herself for falling for a man


    like you. Maybe she was thinking how useless her ex-husband is after Marshall came to her rescue


    and protected her,” Trevor gritted his teeth and sneered.


    Keegan was baffled by his words. His face darkened as he tried to hold himself back, but he finally


    could not. “Ste wouldn’t be hurt if he actually protected her!”
