    Chapter 1739


    Keegan looked puzzled, ncing at Jaylene for an exnation.She rified, "Dad, Keegan told me he


    wasing.It was my bad for not keeping you in the loop.I wanted to surprise you."


    Wenham did not understand her thought process.


    ''It sure is a surprise"


    ‘Ste ising home for lunch.She wouldn''t be pleased if she found these two together.Why does


    Jaylene have a crush on Keegan of all people? This isn''t good, especially considering he''s dealing with


    amnesia and doesn''t even recognize Ste"


    The more Wenham thought about it, the less he liked Keegan.


    While Jaylene was preparing some fruit in the kitchen, Wenham turned to Keegan and asked, "Do you


    really not remember Ste?"


    Keegan lowered his gaze and replied, "Mhm."


    "What''s Jaylene to you then?"


    "She saved my life." Keegan exined.


    "That''s all?"


    Wenham doubted his response, his sharp gaze piercing through Keegan.


    "You were missing for a month, and you showed up with Jaylene after that.What happened between


    you two during that time? Why are you suddenly so close to her?"


    Keegan tightened his lips and took a moment before responding, "Uncle Wenham, what happened in


    the past month is a personal issue.I''m not prepared to discuss it at the moment."


    Wenham''s expression grew stern.


    "Keegan, I''m not concerned about your feelings for Jaylene.But if you choose to be with her and hurt


    Ste, I won''t be quick to forgive you!"


    Keegan looked at him and replied, "Jaylene has been your daughter for over twenty years.How can


    you be biased just because she''s not your flesh and blood?"


    Upon hearing that, Wenham became furious.He was about to speak when he noticed Ste in the living


    room, hand in hand with Marshall.


    "Ste?" he eximed.


    Keegan paused and nced over.


    Ste was in a red dress, her coat slung over one arm while the other held onto Marshall, who carried


    two bottles of wine.


    They appeared quite the striking couple.


    Ste didn''t spare a nce at Keegan.


    Instead, she smiled at Wenham and said, "Dad, I hope you don''t mind that I brought a friend over to


    join us for lunch."


    Stunned by the scene in front of him, Wenham finally understood why Ste had asked for a grand


    lunch.


    "I don''t mind at all.You rarely bring friends home.How would I mind?"


    Although he didn''t know why Ste brought Marshall, Wenham didn''t mind showing her support.


    Marshall was also very polite.


    "Mr.Saun, I''m sorry for any inconvenience caused by my grandfather''s actions before.Please ept


    these gifts as a token of apology."


    Though Wenham did not like Frederick, he didn''t extend that resentment to Marshall.It was unclear if


    Keegan''s memory loss had made him unpleasant, but Wenham found Marshall quite appealing.He


    immediately put on a smile and said, "You didn''t have to.What happened between me and your


    grandfather is in the past."


    Taking the gifts Marshall brought, Wenham opened them, and his eyes lit up.


    "How did you know I like this wine?" Marshall smiled modestly.


    "I wasn''t sure, so I asked Ste, and she helped me choose."


    Wenham felt even more pleased hearing that his daughter knew his preferences.
