    Keegan remained silent before asking, "Do you think I did it on purpose?"


    Ste sighed and said, "I was thinking of returning the talisman to Marshall if you minded. But now it


    seems like you don''t really-"


    "Okay, I did it on purpose!” Keegan immediately interjected, his face darkening. ’How dare he give you


    a talisman in front of me?! He and Spencer are the same. They''re both no good!"


    Marshall gave Ste gifts in front of Keegan while Spencer poured his heart out in his presence. They


    had no shame.


    Ste chuckled. "Actually, I had no intention of epting it at first. But you were so careless, dropping


    the talisman into the water. It would be embarrassing for you if I rejected him."


    Keegan was taken aback. "Why didn''t you say it earlier?"


    "You didn''t give me a chance to say anything. You just recklessly dropped the talisman into the water. It


    wouldn''t have been appropriate for me to refuse at that moment."


    ''Does that mean I created an opportunity for her to ept the gift?’ thought Keegan, feeling frustrated.


    "What about the ne he gave you before? I wasn’t there. Why did you ept it? You even put it


    on! It looks like a dog chain. He has no eye for fashion."


    Annoyed, Ste said, "It is indeed a dog chain. There''s a very cool picture of him inside. Are you


    interested in seeing it?"


    Upon hearing that, Keegan felt a knot in his heart. "While I wasn’t around, you started raising a dog

    with Marshall? Is Pinchie not enough for you?"


    Ste opened a drawer, took out the ne, and said, "Pinchie is great, but I didn''t take care of it. I


    prefer the ones I raise myself. They snarl at others but are affectionate only to me."


    Keegan sneered, "I''ve only been away for a month, and you expect to have already raised a fully


    trained dog? I bet he''s just freeloading on meals. It doesn''t seem reliable."


    Ste looked up and said, "Who said I only raised him for a month? I''ve been taking care of him for


    several years."


    "Hah. You should at leaste up with a more reasonable lie. We''ve been married for four years. How


    would I not know if you have a dog?"


    "See for yourself if you don''t believe me." Ste tossed the ne to Keegan, pretending to be angry.


    He felt a bit at a loss as he held the ne. His lips moved, and he said softly, "I never said I don''t


    believe you. I''m just upset. Howe Marshall knows about your dog but not me?"


    "Who said you don''t know?" Ste nced at him.


    Keegan froze. "I do?"


    ''Why do I have no recollection of this?'' he thought.


    "Yeah. See for yourself," said Ste.


    Keegan thought Ste was trying to deceive him, ''With my excellent memory, I couldn''t have forgotten.


    Is it Pinchie? I haven''t even seen it before.1


    Thinking this, he pressed the button to open the locket, revealing the photo inside. When he saw the


    picture clearly, his expression changed immediately.


    It was not a photo of a dog in the locket; it was a picture of Keegan at the age of twenty.


    Ste leaned over and asked, "What do you think? Isn''t he handsome?"


    A smile crept onto Keegan''s face, but he tried to suppress it. He extended his arms and pulled Ste in.


    With his eyes narrowed and a dangerous expression on his face, he said, "Who are you calling a dog?"


    Ste chuckled. "I never said it was a picture of a dog, Mr. Kane. You''re the one who thought it was a


    dog all along."


    Keegan was stunned for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "You were clearly leading me on!"


    "Whatever do you mean? Clearly, yourprehension skills could be better. Besides, I ce it by the


    bedside every day. Why haven''t you opened it and took a look?"


    Keegan felt annoyed. "How would I have known that Marshall would put my picture in there? Be d


    that I didn''t flush it down the toilet."
