    Chapter 1142


    Felicity walked over and handed Vermont a bottle of water.” Do you want to sit and rest for a while?”


    she asked in a low voice.


    Vermont smiled, nodded, and walked to the side with his cell phone. “Let Ste know that you don’t feel


    comfortable with the situation. Don’t tell her what to do though. Just tell her where it hurts. You have to


    be tactful in love. Don’t just rush into things, and don’t try to keep things from your partner. Let her in on


    everything and exaggerate the situation sometimes.


    “If there is a third party in the rtionship, it’s useless to target them. You have to target the person


    you’re with! Only dumbasses would target the other party. It’ll make you look like a clown, and the third


    party would get what they want!”


    “Well, there is no third party in our rtionship. Ste only likes me,” said Keegan.


    “If you say so. Remember to talk to her. My ride’s here. I’ll talk to youter.” Seeing Felicity approach


    him, Vermont immediately hung up the phone.


    Keegan held his phone in his hand and thought about what Vermont had said. When Ste came out of


    the shower, she saw Keegan changing the duvet cover. She was surprised to see him do that since he


    did not even wash his own clothes or change the bed sheets.


    As she brushed her hair, she strode over and sat on the edge of the bed. “This cover hasn’t been used


    forthat long. Why are you changing it?”


    “Didn’t you say that it felt ufortable on your skin yesterday?” Keegan asked as he continued to


    work on the cover.


    “All I said was that it felt a little rough.” Ste helped him pull the corner of the duvet and continued, “I


    used to tell you to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom and throw your dirty clothes in the hamper,


    but you always forgot. Why is it that you remember me mentioning the duvet? Why are you suddenly


    so attentive? Are you hiding something?”


    “Well, there is something on my mind,” said Keegan.


    “What is it?”


    Keegan sighed. “It’s just… What happened today suddenly reminded me of what you said to me


    before. It’s making me feel ashamed.”


    “What did I say?” Ste wondered.


    “You said that I wasn’t there for you every time something happened, and I promised you there


    wouldn’t be a next time. But look at what happened today.” Even though Keegan said that to pull at


    Ste’s heartstrings, he was still annoyed at himself for being absent at some of her crucial moments.

    Ste very much agreed with his notion. “You know how the male lead always shows up when the


    female lead gets into trouble? Yeah. It makes you seem weak inparison. You


    should hire ten bodyguards to protect me when I go out and customize bullet-proof windows for my


    car.”


    Keegan was speechless when he heard that. “Are you making fun of me?” he asked.


    Ste chuckled and said, “You should really stop thinking of me as a weak and innocent bunny who


    needs saving, Keegan. What I said before was partly out of anger. The only things I me you for were


    the car ident and my mother’s funeral. The former disheartened me, and thetter killed me.”


    Keegan did not know what to say. Not only did he not gain Ste’s sympathy, but he opened up her old


    wounds. In order to stop her from bringing everything up, Keegan decided to please her. He stopped


    working on the duvet and said, “The milk should be warmed up by now. I’ll go down and get it.”


    It took Keegan quite some time to return to the room while Ste had already gotten the duvet cover


    done herself.


    Grabbing the milk Keegan handed over, Ste took a sip before she said, “Remember to delete your


    browsing history the next time you search for how to gain sympathy.”


    Herments left him stunned.
