Keegan looked at her, his eyes nk and lost. After a long pause, he spoke hoarsely, ’Ste, Coco’s


    father is gone. I can''t fulfill the promise I made to her anymore."


    Ste was stunned. "What did you say?"


    With his eyes filled with sorrow, Keegan told her a secret, "Six years ago, the person who fell to his


    death at The Hox Club was Coco’s father."


    Ste was struck by this news and could not process it. Then, she murmured, "So, Coco isn''t Mr.


    Moore''s child, huh?"


    Keegan was taken aback. "What wild ideas are youing up with?"


    Ste said, "I thought Mr. Moore and the undercover cop had a fight and got into a car ident


    together, and Willow asked you to take care of their child before she died."


    Keegan was at a loss for words.


    "When did I ever say that Coco is Marshall''s daughter?"


    Ste swallowed. "Isn''t Coco Mr. Moore''s child with his ex-girlfriend who got into the car ident with


    him?"

    Keegan massaged his temple and said, "They broke up for a year before the ident. Who would


    want to have a child with their ex?"


    He suddenly paused. Then, he asked her, "How did you know about Willow? H


    Ste blinked her eyes. "Did I say anything about Willow? I think you heard wrongly."


    Keegan remained calm. "You did! You said that Willow asked me to take care of her child! Who told you


    that?"


    "Haha, who told me what?" Ste chuckled awkwardly. "No one told me anything."


    Keegan scrutinized her and said, "It was Vermont, the bbermouth, isn''t it?"


    Ste looked away. "I didn''t say that."


    Keegan muttered under his breath and asked, "What else did he tell you?"


    "Nothing much. He just said that he wasn''t in Rivera when that ident happened and briefly told me


    about Willow and Mr. Moore breaking up, and then there was the car ident. I assumed the other


    things on my own."


    Ste then shifted the topic. "So, what''s the truth? Can you tell me about it now?"


    Keegan remained silent for a while before telling her apletely different story from what Vermont


    had told her.


    The Moore family did not approve of Willow being with Marshall, which decisively led her to break up


    with him. She was always an independent and strong-willeddy, so there was no way she could


    ept the disdain and prejudice from her boyfriend''s family regarding her background.


    Willow initiated the breakup, but Marshall could not ept it, which caused a strain on his rtionship


    with his family. Then, one day, Willow disappeared suddenly without saying anything.


    Marshall was deeply affected and fell ill, expecting bouts of illness. He was in a daze the whole period


    until he met her again over a yearter.


    Then, he suddenly called Keegan to say that Willow wanted to study abroad with him and asked for his


    help to renew her passport.
