Chapter 1604


    “You don’t have to do that,” Keegan leaned in and whispered in Ste’s ear. “I gave you that money so


    that you can have a safety. I’ve already hired awyer toe up with an agreement. With the


    money, you will have the right to leave any rtionship in any unforeseeable circumstances.”


    Ste was momentarily stunned. She felt a bittersweet pang in her heart. “Why are you saying it as if


    you would no longer be with me in the future?”


    Keegan gently nuzzled her cheek. “Grandma was hospitalized again recently. Although it’s for the


    same reason, I notice she’s not as energetic as before. Life is unpredictable, Ste. Who knows what’ll


    happen? I want to make sure you’re well taken care of, so I can have peace of mind.”


    Ste understood that Keegan was thinking ahead for her sake, but such topics always left her uneasy.


    “Why do you always bring up things like these when I’m happy?”


    Keegan noticed that she was upset and changed the subject. “Let’s freshen up and go out for a walk.”


    Ste perked up when she heard that. “I’ll go change into a dress. We can take some photoster.”


    The couple had been together for four years but did not have many chances to travel, especially in


    such a rxed state.


    Keegan’s photography skills had not improved, but Ste was still happy.


    After a day of walking around, Ste was tired. However, she became excited again when she returned


    to the hotel and showered. “Can we take our wedding photos here?” she asked.


    “We can go wherever you want as long as it’s not off the face of the Earth,” Keegan replied.


    Steughed for a long while in response.


    Keegan then helped her dry her hair. Seeing her looking around, he reached out and pushed down on


    her shoulder.” What are youughing about?”


    Ste looked up at him. “I was thinking about the photos from our first wedding. You had such a serious


    expression the whole time. It made me think you hated taking pictures. But you were all smiles in the


    photos we took today. Be honest with me. Were you nervous back then? Is that why you didn’t smile?”


    Keegan chuckled and said, “It’s true that I don’t really like taking pictures. And… It’s also true that I was


    nervous. But can you me me? It was my first time taking wedding photos.”


    Keegan’s usual poker face was his go-to expression for hiding his nervousness.


    Just as they were talking, Keegan suddenly stood up and turned off all the lights in the room, leaving


    only a dimmp


    by the bed.


    Ste was confused. Not long after, she saw a sh of light in the darkness, and a cake with lit candles


    appeared on the table. At the same time, the cheerful tune of ‘Happy Birthday’ filled the room.


    Keegan walked over, took her hand, and brought her in front of the cake. “Happy birthday, Mrs. Kane.


    You’re another year older.”


    Only then did Ste realize that it had just passed midnight.


    “Make a wish.” Keegan wanted to say something else, but seeing that the candles were almost burnt


    out, he urged her to blow them out.


    Feeling flustered, Ste made a wish and hurriedly blew out the candles.


    “Wait, no. Light the candles again. I didn’t make a good wish just now. I want to take it back and make


    a new one,” she fretted.


    Keegan was speechless. “Can you take back a wish?”


    “Just hurry up and light them up!”


    Keegan had no choice but to re-light a candle. Ste sped her hands and closed her eyes to make a


    new wish. She then opened her eyes and blew out the candles once more.


    Just as Keegan was about to remove them, Ste stopped him and said, “I feel like myst wish might


    not be easy toe true. Let me do it again.”
