Chapter 1692


    Felicity immediately elbowed Vermont and shot him a re, “Oh, you and your big mouth!”


    “Uncle Chandler, do we need to take a paternity test for you to believe me? We both know that our


    family tree is small. Grandma hopes I can contribute more to the family. Why would I let Coco stay


    outside if she were my daughter?” asked Keegan.


    Chandler was at a loss for words.


    Cordelia did not want her family to create any more headlines and be aughingstock. So, she


    spoke up,” Chandler, you and Baldwin should arrange to send everyone back.”

    Chandler took a deep breath after hearing that. He suppressed his frustrations and agreed to arrange


    transportation for the guests.


    Cordelia turned to Keegan and said, “Keegan,e to my roomter. I have something to discuss with


    you.”


    “Sure, Grandma.” Keegan nodded.


    Cordelia felt a sense of relief upon the safe return of her eldest grandson.


    Feeling fatigued, she let Corrin help her upstairs to rest.


    Guests who had attended the memorial service began leaving one by one.


    Soon, only the Sauns and a few close friends of Keegan remained.


    Everyone was deeply concerned about what had happened during Keegan’s disappearance. At the


    same time, the Saun family was particrly interested in knowing why Jaylene had appeared with


    Keegan, especially Trevor.


    Ste imed that Jaylene knew Keegan’s whereabouts and insisted on going to the hospital to search


    for him at the time. Despite aiding her in the search, Trevor did not truly believe that Keegan was there.


    Both he and Wenham thought that she was being delusional due to her poor mental state at the time.


    Trevor had merely indulged in Ste’s wishes and willingly apanied her in her madness. He felt


    particrly sorry for Jaylene because of the incident. After he informed Wenham about it, Wenham


    compensated Jaylene by increasing her authority at Caline.


    Little did they know that Ste was not acting crazy at all.


    Trevor’s expression soured, and he gave Jaylene a cold look. She tightened her grip on the wheelchair


    handles, lowering her gaze.


    Vermont could not wait any longer and rushed forward. He patted Keegan on the shoulder and said, “I


    knew you wouldn’t have died so easily!”


    Keegan groaned in pain.


    Jaylene, visibly anxious, pushed away Vermont’s hand, “He has not fully recovered yet. Be gentle!”


    She tugged at Keegan’s coat and asked, “Are you okay?”


    Her reaction left Vermont taken aback.


    Surprisingly, Keegan did not reject Jaylene’s touch. He nodded and said, “I’m fine.”


    Vermont suppressed his confusion and cleared his throat before saying, “Sorry. I got a bit too excited


    seeing you alive and well.” He then turned to Ste and continued, “Come over, Ste! After a month of


    searching, the person you’ve been looking for is right here!”


    Keegan looked toward Ste in the direction Vermont was yelling at and locked eyes with her.


    One had bloodshot eyes, while the other had a calm, collected gaze.


    Ste had only taken a few steps forward when Marshall grabbed her wrist. She paused, turning to look


    at him. His expression wasplex. He returned the gloves she had dropped earlier and released her,


    whispering, “Go ahead.”


    Ste turned around and walked toward Keegan.


    She had so much to ask him and to share with him.


    However, before she could speak, Keegan asked with a distant tone, “Are you my ex-wife, or are you


    Marshall’s girlfriend?”
