Chapter 1602


    Wenham furrowed his brows. “Freesia wouldn’t have fussed with the kids.”


    Darcie’s face turned pale, and her heart was shattered.


    Wenham was about to say something else, but she had already turned around and left without a word.


    Trevor leaned back on the couch and observed his father’s troubled expression. “Shouldn’t you go


    upstairs andfort her?” he casually remarked.


    Wenham shot him a re. “This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for you!”


    Trevor shrugged. “I’m just telling it like it is. Who would’ve thought that Darcie would be so sensitive?”


    Wenham was frustrated. He had little experience inforting women. Histe wife was a


    straightforward person. It was easy to know whether she liked something or not. She would tell him


    whenever she was angry.


    Darcie, however, was different. Although she was understanding, her temperament was far less


    carefree. She would always overthink people’s words ande up with many interpretations. She was


    both perceptive and sensitive.


    When Darcie was younger, she would often get mad because of something Wenham had said or done.


    Now that she was older, she was less likely to sulk on her own, but she still did so at times.


    Seeing Darcie so upset, Wenham felt distressed at the thought of having tofort her. He could not


    help but find his son annoying as well. “You’re making things worse with your words. Only a fool


    wouldn’t pick up on what you were hinting.”


    “If the shoe fits.” Trevor stood up and continued, “I’m leaving. Have fun.”


    His response rendered Wenham speechless.


    Keegan and Ste took a nearly four-hour flight to Grandale, a city in Hustuabourg.


    It was already past 11 p.m. when they arrived. They had to transfer in between flights, which took some


    extra time. By the time the couple reached their hotel near Solstice Shore, it was already 2 a.m.


    Ste was exhausted from the journey and did not have the energy to properly review their hotel room.


    She took a quick shower and copsed on the bed.


    Ste then woke up at 11 a.m. the next morning. She opened her eyes drowsily and she found herself


    alone in bed. She turned over and remembered that she was at


    Solstice Shore.

    She sat up and looked around in a daze. When she noticed that Keegan was nowhere in sight, she


    threw back the covers and got out of bed.


    Warm sunlight streamed into the room, as Ste pulled back the curtains. She squinted and saw


    Keegan on the balcony. He was wearing casual shirt and trousers while holding a cup of coffee, gazing


    into the distance.


    Ste walked over and wrapped her arms around Keegan’s waist from behind. “Why didn’t you wake


    me up?” she asked.


    Keegan took a sip of his coffee and replied, “Do you have any idea how grumpy you are when you


    wake up? We rarely get toe out like this, and I don’t want to go home with any injuries.”


    Ste was taken aback by his response. “Did you have to ruin such a beautiful view with that sharp


    tongue of yours?”


    Keegan chuckled and put the cup aside. He turned to hold her and leaned in close to her ear. “Do you


    like the view?”


    Ste nodded. “I do.”


    “I’m talking about myself, you know?”


    Steughed, as she brushed her cheek lightly against his and murmured, “I like you the most.”


    Keegan kissed her cheek, and his voice softened. “Then… will you marry me?”


    As he spoke, he slipped a diamond ring onto the tip of her ring finger.
