Chapter 1913
Ste was puzzled.
“Keegan Kane, what are you doing?”

Her unexpected voice startled Keegan, causing his hand to slip. Then, the wine bottle fell to the
ground. He coughed a few times, and a faint blush appeared on his fair face.
He paused, bent down, and picked up the wine bottle while pretending to be calm. “I’m thirsty,” he said
softly.
Ste nced at the water purifier behind him and was speechless.
‘It looks like he can’t tell the difference between alcohol and water now, huh?’ she thought to herself.
“Keegan, let’s-“
Before Ste could say that she wanted to go home with him, Keegan cut her off while rubbing his
temples. My head hurts.”
Ste was at a loss for words.
‘Well, didn’t he sound powerful when he told me to shut up just now? And now, he suddenly became so
weak?’ Ste thought to herself.
Ste scrutinized Keegan, and a strange spection suddenly emerged in her mind-could it be that
Keegan was pretending to be drunk to gloss over what happened?
‘He sounded like he was all that earlier, and now he wants me back?’ Ste thought inwardly.
“Oh,” Ste said. Then, she sarcastically added, “Your head hurts, huh? I should call your beloved
Jaylene over, so she can give you a massage.”
Keegan frowned. “Quit speaking nonsense.”
Ste snorted, walked past him, and wanted to leave.
However, Keegan stopped her. “W-Where are you sleeping tonight?”
Ste stopped walking and looked at him with a half-smile.” Why do you ask? Is your beloved Jaylene
angry because I’ve been sleeping at your ce? Do you not want me to stay with you anymore? I’m
sorry, but I won’t let things go your way. I don’t care how angry your beloved Jaylene is going to be.”
Keegan’s eyes lit up, and he could barely contain the joy in his eyes. Then, he immediately looked
away and said in a cold tone, “Whatever.”
He would always look like this whenever he was nervous or excited.
‘And, he dared to judge my acting skills? Hmph!’ Ste said to herself.
When they were leaving, the whole family came out to see them off.
Ste had a cold expression, looking extremely displeased. However, Jaylene seemed very happy
even though the handprint on her face from Ste’s p had not faded. As they walked to the gate,
Jaylene stayed close to Keegan and kept chatting with him.
Trevor looked at his sister, and then at Jaylene and Keegan. Suddenly, he noticed that the left side of
Jaylene’s face lookedrger than the right as if it was swollen.
Then, he immediately shifted his gaze back to Ste’s face.’ Hm. Both sides look the same,’ he felt
relieved, as he thought to himself.
When they were getting into the car, Keegan took the initiative to open the rear passenger door for her.
However, Ste ignored him and went to the other side of the car to open the door herself.
Jaylene watched what happened and subtly smirked.
On their way back home, Ste remained unusually silent, which seemed somewhat strange.
Keegan thought that she would definitely make some sarcastic remarks after what had happened.
Although she did do that when she saw him drinking the bottle of wine in the kitchen earlier, Keegan
could tell that she “took it easy” on him.
Keegan coughed lightly.
But, Ste did not react to that at all.
Keegan coughed again.
Yet, still no response from Ste.
He continued to cough repeatedly.
Ste then finally lifted her head and said, “What’s wrong with you? Do you have lung cancer?”
Keegan choked, hesitated, and then said, “Do you want to go for a walk to digest better? You ate quite
a lot just now.”
Ste kept quiet.
Then, she smiled and said, “Say that again.”
Keegan pursed his lips and spoke again after a brief pause.” I ate quite a lot just now.”
Ste scoffed. “Where are we going for a walk?”
Keegan was taken aback.
‘She agreed?
‘Why isn’t she angry at all?’ Keegan wondered to himself.
