Chapter 1952


    Chapter 1952


    Ste cast a nce at Keegan.


    He was visibly upset, torn between wanting to express his frustration and maintaining his fake memory


    loss.


    After a considerable pause, he blurted out, "If you thought I was dead back then, why did you go to the


    wishing well?"


    Ste had intended to tease him further, but Keegan appeared genuinely distressed. When he asked


    that question, his eyes even seemed to well up a bit.


    Ste relented. ''If he wants to continue feigning amnesia, I''ll go along with it.''


    To her, there was no harm in indulging in his act as long as he returned and still held her in his heart.


    She did not see the need to intentionally stir the pot and make him upset.


    Ste knew that Keegan would take her words seriously.


    Meeting his eyes, she softly exined, "Because I don''t want anyone else. Even in a sea of people, it''s


    lonely without you."


    Keegan stared at her for a moment, then shifted his gaze away.


    His fairplexion gradually tinged with a hint of crimson, spreading from his neck to the tips of his


    ears.


    Struggling to suppress a smile, he cleared his throat and said, "Smooth."


    Ste chuckled, ncing out the window.


    Keegan wasn''t hiding his emotions as wellpared to before, especially when it involved her. Being a


    perspective person, Marshall might have already pieced something together.


    Ste wondered if tonight''s events would impact Keegan''s ns.


    She realized there were indeed peculiar aspects about Marshall. For instance, the kidnapper who had


    abducted them turned out to be the ex-husband of one of his clients, someone they had fought with


    before.


    Moreover, the kidnapper conveniently suffered from face blindness, mistaking Keegan for Marshall.


    There were too many coincidences. It all seemed strange, even with reasonable exnations.


    If it was retaliation from Chandler, Ste could easily deduce the motive. But she could not figure out


    the justification as to why Marshall would be involved.


    ''Keegan had many photos of them in his photo album. He even noted Marshall''s birthday on his


    calendar. Marshall holds a significant ce in Keegan''s heart, so what reason could there be?''


    Ste doubted she possessed such charm to make Marshall target Keegan on her behalf. ''Regardless


    of Marshall''s feelings for me, he should recognize that I can never entertain any romantic involvement


    with him, even if something happen to Keegan.


    He should know that there are boundaries, just like Keegan and Jaylene.''


    After a moment of contemtion, Ste pulled out her phone and created a group chat with Vermont


    and Felicity.


    [I have a question for you. (?Vermont] texted Ste.


    Vermont responded, [???]


    [You could''ve just dm-ed me. Why make a group?]


    [I was afraid you wouldn''t tell the truth. Having Felicity here to supervise ensures you won''t lie to me.]


    Ste replied.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Vermont was at a loss for words.


    [Lie, and I''ll move out tonight] said Felicity.


    Vermont gritted his teeth.


    ''Why couldn''t Keegan have found someone easier to handle? Why did he have to choose such a


    troublesome partner? It''s fine if he''s the only one that has to deal with her, but now I have to deal with


    her too!'' he thought.
