    With a cheerful smile, Ste ced the bowl of chicken soup in front of Keegan and said, “I just tasted


    it, and it’s rather good. Go on. Give it a try.”


    Keegan nced at the soup and asked, “Why don’t you go grab yourself a bowl since it’s for nourishing


    the body?”


    “No thanks. I’ve grown tired of chicken soup after eating the ones you’ve cooked for me. Just looking at


    it makes me lose my appetite. I made myself some porridge with red dates. I’ll just have that,” Ste


    lied.


    She then handed the spoon to Keegan and urged, “Go on, dear. It won’t taste as good when it’s cold.”


    Keegan gave her a sidelong nce, took the spoon, and stirred the soup.


    “Why does this soup smell a bit like the chicken soup your great-grandpa used to make?”


    Ste froze. “Don’t all chicken soup smell the same?”

    Keegan nodded, seemingly agreeing with her exnation. He set down the spoon and picked up the


    bowl. Just as he was about to take a sip, he saw Ste staring intently at him.


    Keegan paused for a moment and drank the soup all in one go.


    Ste immediately refilled the bowl and said, “Here, have more.”


    For some reason, Keegan was unusually amodating today. He drank three bowls of the soup in a


    row. Ste would have had him finish the whole pot if she were not worried about the potency of the


    medicine.


    Perhaps out of guilt, Ste, who used to insist on having Keegan clean up the kitchen after she cooked,


    took the initiative today. She cleaned up everything herself and even filled the bathtub with water for


    Keegan to rx in.


    Though Keegan was ready to expose Ste for “cheating” on him, he enjoyed all the attention from her.


    When Keegan came out of the bathroom after his soak, Ste approached him with a bottle of essential


    oil, looking rather eager. “Would you like to experience my massage techniques, honey?”


    Keegan’s gaze deepened. “What do you have there? Is it an aphrodisiac oil?”


    Ste was momentarily stunned. She blushed and said, “It’s a legitimate rxing essential oil blend I


    had someone else make. It’s rather expensive. I can’t even bear to use it on myself.”


    “I see,” Keegan replied casually. He took off his bathrobe and tossed it aside before lying on the bed


    and saying,” Ready.”


    His actions caused Ste to be at a loss for words. Ste’s eyelid twitched when she saw him behind


    his head and his eyes closed, looking content. “Turn over. This is a back massage!”


    Keegan frowned andy on his stomach, not entirely pleased with the arrangement.


    Ste kicked off her shoes and sat on his legs. She poured some oil into her hands and rubbed them


    as she gently applied it to Keegan’s back.


    It had been a while since Keegan had a massage. While Ste’s techniques might not be as good a


    professional, her status in Keegan’s heart elevated hisfort level.


    “How does it feel, honey? Is it good?”


    Ste was tired after massaging Keegan’s back for some time. Meanwhile, Keegan moaned in


    pleasure with his eyes closed.


    “Does anything feel different than usual?” Ste inquired further.


    Keegan’s eyshes fluttered, but he did not open his eyes.” In what aspect are you referring to?” he


    asked.


    “All of them. I want to know the effects of the chicken soup you just drank. Are you experiencing any


    unusual


    sensations, like feeling hot all over? Do you feel anything out of the ordinarypared to your usual


    state?”


    Keegan pondered for a moment and said, “Yeah. I feel a little different.”


    All of a sudden, Ste became excited. “Tell me the specifics.”


    “Well, it feels a bit warmer than usual. And my mouth is a little dry,” Keegan replied.
