Chapter 1278


    Keegan was not happy. “Why should I leave just because he’s here?” he asked.


    “Don’t act all indignant! You know how close he and my brother are. Trevor’s going to know you’re


    living here the moment Marshall shows up. He already doesn’t like you, and Wenham isn’t fond of you


    either. The Hall family despises you even more. This is your chance to make a good impression. So


    show some restraint and know your boundaries, okay?” Ste exined.


    Keegan’s face looked tense as he said, “Marshall came without prior notice; why aren’t you using


    him of not knowing boundaries?”


    Ste was puzzled by Keegan’s logic. “It’s not like he’s the one I’m with.”


    That response seemed to ease the tension.


    However, Keegan still was not keen on leaving. “We should just go public if he tells Trevor.”


    Ste shot him a sideways nce and said, “While I don’t want to discourage you, I have to remind you


    that you’re on my family’s cklist. When I mentioned your name during our reunion, it was met with


    silence. Plus, Trevor texted me yesterday, asking about my type in men, and imed he had many


    quality options for me to choose from. He even said that none are less superior than you. Do you


    realize how


    much they dislike you? I haven’t even gotten fully acquainted with my family yet, and you want me to


    introduce you to them? I don’t think it’s respectful to do that. n


    Keegan looked at her with a sad expression and did not say a thing. Ste pushed him toward the


    room while reassuring him, “I’ll introduce you to the family once I get to know them better and everyone


    is prepared. Remember to behave and not cause any trouble. I won’t cut ties with my family for you. It


    Keegan remained silent. ‘What kind of crappy constion is this?!’ he thought. He then finally got ready


    under Ste’s urging. After putting on his suit, he immediately turned into the unapproachable Mr.


    Kane.


    When Ste was helping him adjust his cor, she suddenly tugged on his tie and nted a kiss on his


    chin. “It’s a pity I’ve never seen you in your college days. If I had, I would’ve definitely pursued you,”


    she murmured.


    Keegan nced at her and said, “You were only 13 when I was a freshman, and when I became a


    senior, you had only turned 17. Do you want me to get arrested or something?”


    Ste could not help butugh, “You’re so unromantic. Now hurry up and go.”

    As they were about to open the door, the elevator chimed, and Marshall walked out.


    Ste was shocked. ‘Didn’t I tell him to wait a bit beforeing up? Ugh.’


    She immediately stopped pushing Keegan and said, “Oh. Did you twoe together?”


    Keegan and Marshall seemed surprised to hearthat.


    Marshal strolled over with a handful of things and asked.” Keegan, when did you get here?”


    Keegan pursed his lips and reluctantly responded, “Just now. If


    Marshall nced at Keegan’s empty hands and handed him a fruit basket he was carrying.


    Keegan nced at the basket but did not take it.


    “It’s impolite to arrive empty-handed,” Marshall remarked. Before Keegan could speak, Marshall added,


    “Just like how it was impolite of you to only bow at Ms. Spade’s funeral.”


    Keegan and Ste could not believe that Marshall had just said that.


    Ste found Marshall’smentary to be mean, but Keegan’s expression was just tooical. She bit


    her lip to stifle herughter, determined not to burst outughing.


    Then, she indifferently said, “Come in.”


    When the two men entered, Marshall put on the house slippers Ste had just bought for Keegan, and


    Keegan stood behind him with a dark expression.


    Ste noticed what was going on and walked over. She grabbed another pair of house slippers from


    the shoe rack and handed them to Keegan as she said, “You’re the most generous person I know!”


    Hearing that, Keegan suppressed his anger and put on the slippers.


    Upon entering the apartment, Marshall noticed that the room was neat and tidy. The flowers on the


    table seemed freshly watered, with a mistyyer of vapor on their petals. There was a book on the


    couch; its pages looked fluffy, suggesting it had been read frequently. Two cups were ced on the


    coffee table, each with only a small amount of water left, indicating that someone had been drinking


    from them.


    Marshall continued to observe the ce when Ste asked,” So, what would you two like to drink?”
