    Keegan did not quite understand what Ste meant, but he caught on to her teasing tone. He grabbed


    a low stool to sit beside her and casually rolled up his sleeves. “Today marks your official return to the


    Saun family, so you’re getting special treatment.”


    With that, he gently submerged her feet into the water.


    ’Am I not getting this treatment anymore after this?” Ste asked.


    ‘You’ll get it upon our remarriage. The treatment you’ll receive as Mrs. Kane will be higher than that of


    my girlfriend. Today’s a special exception for you to enjoy in advance,” Keegan exined.


    ’I don’t remember getting special treatment when I was still married to you, ” Ste pointed out.


    ‘Well, I was a useless husband back then. All I had were my looks. Now, I’m trying to be better by


    washing your feet!” Keegan chuckled.


    Ste was quiet. Considering the context, she could not argue with Keegan. He was an excellent flirt.


    He could always take a casual remark and weave it into something more, making her shy.


    Ste gritted her teeth. “Grandma said you’re not good with words. Looks like you’ve been using all


    your linguistic prowess on me, huh?”


    Keegan massaged her feet, smiling as he said, “I just wanted to talk with you more.”


    “Back when we weren’t divorced yet, you seemed pretty impatient with my chatter,” Ste stated.


    Keegan had initially wanted to deny any impatience, but when he recalled his behavior in the months


    leading up to their divorce, he had to admit there was an issue. It was not that he was impatient with


    Ste; he was intolerant of her constant talk of separation.


    “I’m sorry,” Keegan apologized sincerely. “Thank you, Mrs. Kane, for being so forgiving another chance.


    I realize that looks do carry some weight.”


    Ste stared at him and gave him a kick. The water from her feet sshed onto his shirt, leaving a wet


    stain.


    Keegan caught her ankle and gently ced her foot back into the water.’ Stop messing around. You


    can soak for a bit, then get ready for bed. It’s almost dawn.”


    Hearing that, Ste felt incredibly tired. She leaned back on the couch and yawned. “You go ahead and


    sleep. You have work in the morning. I’ll take my time.”


    ‘It won’t make much of a difference,” Keegan replied.


    ‘Then I’ll hurry up and wash,” Ste murmured softly.


    She talked to him about how nervous she was before going on stage, and her voice gradually grew


    softer and more distant.

    As Keegan dried her feet, she drifted into the realm of dreams.


    When he lifted her up, Ste briefly woke up. Her drowsy eyes met Keegan’s, and she whispered,


    “Honey?”


    ‘Mhm?” Keegan replied. Ste closed her eyes again and murmured, “Go to sleep; don’t stay upte.


    Now that I have the money, I’ll take care of you in the future.”


    Keegan did not say a word. He did not know whether to be amused or exasperated by Ste wanting to


    care for him financially. He sighed and lowered his head to nt a kiss on her forehead before carrying


    her to the bedroom.


    In the week following the banquet, Ste’s days were filled with acting and spending time with Wilfred


    and Edith. Sometimes, they shared meals as a family; other times, they explored the city. The elderly


    couple found it challenging to adapt to the damp climate of Rivera. Due to the reveal event, they had


    been in town for an extended period. Now, they were cherishing their moments alone with their


    granddaughter while also making preparations to return home.
