Keegan stared at the leaves for a while before saying, “It’s not symmetrical.”
Then, with a gentle flick of his finger, he made one leaf fall off. Satisfied, he remarked, “There, that
looks better.”
Tm going to kill him!’ Ste seethed inwardly.
She gritted her teeth and swiftly reimed her cherished nt. “You’re such a troublemaker!” she
snapped.
Keegan grabbed her hand. “It’s gettingte. Maria can help you out tomorrow.”
“Maria doesn’t really know how. She just waters them, but some flowers don’t need much water. I
haven’t been here for a while, and many of my flowers died. I cant just leave them alone.”
Gently cradling the potted sulent, she turned to Keegan with a smile. “Do you think it’s beautiful?”
Keegan found himself ensnared in her sparkling eyes.
Ste did not have any makeup on, revealing smooth skin, and her disheveled hair cascaded gently
around her ears.
In the breeze, her hair danced, and her longshes fluttered slightly. Keegan couldn’t help but feel his
heart race at the sight.
Feeling flustered, he awkwardly averted his gaze. “Yeah,” he mumbled.
“Once its roots are in ce, you can ce it in your office desk. When you’re mad, just look at it and
see your angry face,” Ste teased with a smile. “It looks so much like you.”
Only then did Keegan realize that the nt in the cup was a gourd, the same one from nts vs.
Zombies.
His face immediately darkened.
Just as he was about to leave, Ste stood up. Suddenly, her vision went ck, and she stumbled.
Startled, Keegan swiftly grabbed her arm. “Are you okay?” he asked.
Ste stood still for a moment, regaining herposure. “I probably stayed crouched for too long, and
my vision went nk when I stood up suddenly,” she exined softly.
With a tense expression, Keegan took the cup from her hand and led her back into the house. “Forget
about your nts. You should go to sleep.”
Ste hesitated and questioned, “Are you concerned about me?”

Keegan tightened his lips, taking a moment before replying,” You’re pregnant.”
“What if I’m not?” Ste looked directly into his eyes, catching every nuance. “Would you still be
worried?” she asked softly.
Keegan avoided showing his emotions, lowering his gaze.
Ignoring her question, he urged, “Let’s head inside before you catch a cold.”
A fleeting hint of disappointment crossed Ste’s eyes, though she swiftlyposed herself.
At least he’s showing some concern now. It’s progress,’ she reflected silently.

In Cordelia’s mansion, Corrin was carrying a ss of cogen drink while heading upstairs when she
collided with Aurora.
“Corrin, it’s sote. Why aren’t you in bed yet?” Aurora, who had been raised by Corrin during her
younger years, had a good rtionship with her.
Corrin responded gently, “I’ll turn in after I take this cogen drink to Mrs. Kane. What about you? Why
are you still awake? If
Aurora frowned. Keegan had sold the ce where Dahlia used to live. Even though she had returned
to the Kane family, she had no ce to stay and was now residing in Cordelia’s home.
‘Grandma is making it obvious she doesn’t want Mom here. How could Mom ask Corrin to make a
cogen drink in the middle of the night? Isn’t she worried Grandma will kick her out?’
Aurora said, “Corrin, give it to me. I happen to be going to get something from my mom. I’ll help you
with it. You should get some rest now.”
Corrin said gently, “Thank you, Aurora. There are still some of this downstairs. I’ll fetch you another
ss if you feel like drinking.
Aurora waved her hand. “It’s okay. You can go to bed now.”
Then, she took the ss from Corrin and went to Dahlia’s room.
Aurora knocked on the door. There was no response, but she could faintly hear someone speaking
from inside.
She twisted the doorknob.
“Are you sure that Ste is pregnant?”
