Chapter 1890
Ste was surprised.
“You sound like… a pretty experienced dad.”
Keegan said, “I don’t want our baby to be a troublemaker like Coco. Our child is going to be a very
obedient one.”
Ste kept quiet.
After a long pause, she said, “You’re very picky, aren’t you?”
‘How can I possibly decide what the baby’s personality will be like?’ Ste thought to herself.
“I think Coco is very adorable,” Ste added.
Keegan snorted, “She’s just pretending to be good in front of you. She always does that when she asks
me to bring her to see you.”
Ste was shocked. “When did Coco know about me?”
“After we took our wedding photos, she kept pestering me to see them. So, I showed her.” Keegan got
a little angry, as he continued, “She said you look good, but I look like a zombie. Even if she was sick,
she insisted on sneaking out of the hospital to see you. And then, she got hit by an electric bike.
“Even though she has anemia, she can be very naughty.”
Ste paused upon hearing Keegan’s words, as she slowly pieced together the truth of what happened
during their wedding night.
Coco sneaked out to the wedding venue, got hit by a bike, and needed a blood transfusion. However,
Coco’s caretaker could not reach Keegan, so that person contacted Be, who had donated blood to
Coco before.
Be, who had always been resentful of Keegan marrying a woman who came out of nowhere, saw it
as a perfect opportunity to ruin the wedding. So, right before Keegan went on stage, she approached
him and told him about it.
That was the reason why Keegan left the wedding hastily with Be.
After many years, although she and Keegan had deep feelings for each other, she could not help but
be bothered by the fact that Keegan left her alone during their wedding night. After all, that was one of
the most important days in her life.
But now, knowing that it was because of Coco, that cute little girl, her lingering resentment slowly
disappeared.
With that in mind, Ste looked at Keegan and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
“Who are Coco’s parents?”
Keegan paused and clenched his fists without saying anything in response.
Ste asked again in a low voice, “Even until now, are you still not willing to tell me?”
Keegan shook his head. “It’s not that I’m not willing to. It’s that I can’t; at least not now.”
Keegan embraced her. “Ste, Coco did note from an ordinary family.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been hiding and raising her away from the public. I promised her family that
I’d make sure she grew up safe and healthy. This is a promise I cannot break, no matter what.”
‘It’s not that he doesn’t want to tell me. It’s because he can’t…
‘Who could Coco’s parents be that Keegan has to be so secretive about it?’ Ste wondered.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
Keegan hugged her tighter. “Ste, stop asking me about it because I don’t want to lie to you. I can’t
break my promise. It was me who couldn’t stop…” i ‘Stop… what?’ Ste thought.
She then tried to ask him about it, but he just would not say anything.
‘He’s just pretending to be drunk, isn’t he?
‘It seems like he knows just the right time to doze off,’ Ste thought to herself.
She closed her eyes and tried to chase away the frustration in her heart.
Although she liked Coco, she felt somewhat ufortable living with an unidentified child.
She saw the troubled look on Keegan’s face and sighed. “I won’t ask you about this anymore, but I
have onest question. Are Coco’s family members people I know?”
Keegan shook his head. “No.”
Ste stared at him for a while, trying to find traces of lies in his eyes. However, his gaze appeared
clear, open, and honest.
“Fine, I’ll believe you this time. If you lied to me…” Ste paused before she continued, “I’ll punish you
by… leaving you forever.”
Keegan grabbed her hand and gently kissed it. “I’ll never lie to you about things like this. Never,” he
said in a hoarse voice.
