Keegan watched helplessly as the mattress was moved to Aurora’s room.

He roamed around the house with an angry face and found that the only ce he could sleep was the
couch in the living room.
That was his room, and two other maids were living there. How could a grown man like him sleep on
the couch?
He paced back-and-forth outside the master bedroom. He extended his arm to the doorknob several
times but could not bring himself to twist it open.
As he hesitated, the door suddenly swung open. Ste, dressed in her pajamas, leaned against the
door frame, arms crossed. She nced at him and asked, “You’ve been standing there for over half an
hour. Are you going to sleep with me or not?”
“I’m not going to sleep with you,” Keegan corrected her.
“Ah, sleep in the same room as me,” Ste rified.
Then, he exined, “Aurora moved the mattress from the study to her room, and I have nowhere else
to sleep.”
Ste raised an eyebrow.
Keegan pressed his lips together before saying, “I’ll grab some nkets and sleep on the floor.
Tomorrow, I’ll buy another bed.”
Ste nced at him, stepped aside, and said evenly,” Come on in.”
Keegan adjusted his cor and took a deep breath before entering.
Ste opened the wardrobe, retrieved a nket, and ced it on the bed.
Just as Keegan was about to pick it up, Ste grabbed his wrist. “Sleep on the bed. Your injuries
haven’t fully healed yet. There’s no need to act tough.”
Keegan looked at her hands, feeling the resistance he had toward her was gradually fading. ‘Well, at
least my hand doesn’t feel as cold now,’ he thought to himself.
He lowered his eyes and said after a long pause, “Okay.”
After that, Ste headed to the bathroom, leaving Keegan seated on the bed. He absentmindedly
grabbed a book from the nightstand, but as he flipped through the pages, he couldn’t focus on a single

The scent from the nket filled the air, stronger than when he had firste in.
Putting the book aside, he instinctively lifted the nket from Ste’s side. That’s when he noticed a
bra tucked underneath it.
Keegan was taken aback when he realized what he was seeing, his cheeks reddening.
“Keegan Kane, did you take my body lotion?”
Keegan, feeling as if caught red-handed, hastily put the nket back down. Clearing his throat, he tried
to appearposed. “I didn’t. Check if it’s in the cab.”
“Oh, okay,” Ste responded without asking any further.
However, Keegan’s ears were still flushed. He felt the need to do something to calm himself down. He
turned around and saw the book lying on Ste’s book lying on the bedside table. He was curious
about what she was reading, so he reached out to grab it.
To his surprise, Ste was reading professional books on perfumery.
She had made numerous notes with a pen, indicating her dedication to the subject.
During the banquet the Saun family held to wee her back, Wenham had transferred his Caline
shares to Ste, so Keegan figured that she was probably preparing forthat.
Jaylene had previously expressed her frustration to Keegan regarding Wenham’s favoritism, as he
refused to allow her involvement with Caline. However, the moment Ste returned, Wenham promptly
transferred the shares to her, even though she had no knowledge of perfumery.
Caline held significant value, established through her mother’s relentless efforts over the years.
Jaylene couldn’tprehend why Ste, who knew nothing about the business, could inherit it simply
because she returned. Jaylene feared that Caline would suffer in Ste’s inexperienced hands.
At that time, Keegan didn’t offer any response.
He was still badly injured and could not even get out of bed. He took so many medicines that he could
barely think straight, and he trusted in everything Jaylene said to him.
However, reflecting now, he pondered, ‘Wasn’t Freesia Hall the one who founded Caline? Even if Ste
lacks knowledge, what’s wrong with Wenham passing the shares to the founder’s biological daughter?’
