Chapter 1940


    Chapter 1940


    Ste was about to say something, but before she could speak, Keegan asked in a soft and hoarse


    voice, "You don''t believe me?"


    Ste was taken aback, and she lowered her gaze.


    Keegan knew her too well and could easily guess what was on her mind.


    If Aurora had not acted strangely in front of Ste due to nervousness, which led to Ste noticing


    Dahlia''s n, Ste would really be lying in a pool of blood right now.


    Ste had difficulty conceiving, and this might be their only chance to be parents. Yet, Dahlia


    wanted to strip them of this opportunity because of her own selfish motives.


    Keegan knew that if something happened and the baby was gone, Ste would never be able to get


    over it and continue her rtionship with Keegan.


    Even if she knew that he was equally innocent and heartbroken as she was.


    Ste did not reveal her n to Keegan because she wanted to make sure that Dahlia''s n could go


    "smoothly", allowing her to catch Dahlia red-handed.


    She was worried that telling Keegan about it in advance would make him soft-hearted, so she did not


    want to leave that choice in his hands.


    Ste felt a pang in her heart. Then, she lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, "Keegan, I don''t


    dare to take this gamble, nor can I afford to. I want our child to be born safely. I''ll get rid of anyone who

    poses a threat to him. I won''t spare anyone who would harm us."


    Keegan tightened his grip on her hand and asked, "And, you think I will?"


    Ste curled her fingers and said after a long pause, "She’s your mother, after all. I just didn''t expect


    you to do the same. n


    Keegan lowered his head and spoke in a hoarse voice," Ste, even if I''ll be soft-hearted, she''s still


    trying to harm you and our child. Do you really think that I''m someone who can''t distinguish right from


    wrong?"


    Ste felt a lump in her throat, finding it hard to utter a word.


    Keegan crouched down, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed his face against her


    stomach. "I''m sorry for not being good enough. It''s my fault for not being able to make you feel safe


    around me. I''ll change. Next time, please talk to me if something happens. I don''t want to be thest


    one to know. I''m afraid that..."


    Ste''s heart melted, as she reached out to stroke his hair at the back of his head. Then, she lowered


    her head and smiled. "What a scaredy cat."


    "Let''s go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, okay?" Keegan sounded gentle.


    Ste rubbed her chin on the top of his head and said," You''re the boss."


    Keegan paused, as he was taken aback by her response.


    He suddenly thought of how indifferent Ste was when he " defended" Jaylene previously.


    Did she guess it?


    But, how?’


    Other than slightly losing hisposure just now, he still believed that his act was wless.


    Keegan pursed his lips and suddenly let go of her.


    Ste looked at him. ''What''s wrong?"


    Keegan stammered, "Well... it''s all for the baby. Don''t overthink it."


    Ste was shocked.


    ''Is he seriously still going to keep pretending?''


    After a moment of silence, Ste yed along. "Don’t worry, I know my ce."


    She kept quiet after saying that.


    In the silence, there was a hint of awkwardness.


    Ste could not figure out why Keegan would note clean at a time like this.


    Keegan cleared his throat and broke the awkwardness."


    Rest here. I''ll ask Lena toe in and take care of you. I should go to the banquet hall and check


    things out."


    "Wait." Ste stopped him. ''If he''s going to keep pretending, I should do the same, right?''


    Keegan looked at her. "What''s wrong?"


    Ste pursed her lips. "Did you forget the reason I''m staying with you?"


    Keegan was taken aback.


    Ste reminded him. "To provide our child with a healthy family and work on our rtionship."
