    Ste scoffed, “I see.”


    She vigorously stirred the dumplings in her bowl, creating a crisp sound as the spoon repeatedly hit the


    dishware.


    Having dined together at the Saun residence before, Keegan knew Ste’s table etiquette was far more


    refined than her current demeanor. It then dawned on him that something was wrong. “Are you upset?”


    he asked.


    “No,” Ste shed a fake smile. “I’m so thrilled that you remembered to bring me fooding home


    from work sote, Mr. Kane.”


    Keegan detected a pattern. Whenever Ste was angry, she would address him as “Mr. Kane”.


    He vaguely recalled her raising her eyebrows andmenting, “Nice watch, Mr. Kane.” Yet, she wasn’t


    genuinely admiring his timepiece; she was being sarcastic.


    Keegan couldn’t fathom what had triggered her irritation, so he asked, “Don’t you like shrimp filling?”


    Ste shook her head and said in a serious tone, “No, I do. Like you said, shrimp is good for pregnant


    women. It’s good for the baby too.”


    Hearing that, Keegan seemed to understand. After a brief pause, he admitted, “The owner of The Deli


    mentioned that I always requested pelmeni with shrimp filling. I assumed you might enjoy it.”


    Ste paused. When she resumed eating, the spoon no longer clinked against the bowl.


    Keegan came to the conclusion that pregnant women indeed experience significant fluctuations in


    emotions under the influence of hormones.


    After finishing the pelmeni, Ste was about to head upstairs when Keegan stopped her. “Let’s go for a


    walk to aid digestion.”


    Ste was even more surprised now. ‘Did Keegan feel pressured and surrender without a fight?Books

    She nced around and nodded, “Sure.”


    Ste grabbed her coat, and they left together.

    Nestled between the mountains and waters, Royalpark Vi offered an exceptional view. The


    landscaping was meticulous, boasting a variety of trees and bushes. The area remained lush and


    green despite the winter season.


    Ste and Keegan had lived in Royalpark Vi for three years, yet they rarely strolled together as they


    were doing now. Keegan was upied with work and often got up early for a jog before heading to the


    office.


    On the other hand, Ste was not a morning person. She usually came out in the evening, but Keegan


    would be workingte. Even when they asionally walked together, there was ack of harmony


    between them. They would walk one after the other, resembling strangers.


    With this in mind, Ste quickly caught up, walking to Keegan’s side and linking arms with him.


    Keegan instinctively wanted to pull away, but Ste calmly said, “Don’t forget why I’m staying here.”


    Keegan paused, and he awkwardly withdrew his hand. “Can you give me a heads-up next time


    physical contact is involved?”


    Ste replied indifferently, “Sure.”


    As a gentle breeze blew, Ste adjusted her coat and asked, “How was the check-up today? What did


    the doctor say?”


    “Everything seems to be normal,” said Keegan.


    ‘Normal? How could losing one’s memory be considered normal?’ Ste thought.


    “Um…” Ste gently tightened her grip and exhaled softly.” When treating those injuries on your body,


    did you suffer?”


    Keegan recalled Ste crying when she saw his injuries in the study at Cordelia’s ce. He lowered his


    eyes and murmured, “I took a lot of painkillers at that time. I was in a daze every day. Looking back


    now, I don’t remember much pain. So I assume it was bearable.”
