Chapter 2230


    Marshall idly spun the ss around before finally offering a light smile." Maybe he''s seen it, or perhaps


    it was all just a joke."


    Ste lowered her gaze and remained silent.


    ncing at a group of children nearby, Marshall suddenly inquired, "Is the little girl from the memorial


    service still with the Kane family?”


    Ste nodded. "Keegan brought her to the mansion."


    Marshall appeared somewhat surprised. "Weren’t they supposed to hand her over to her rtives?”


    Ste exined, "Aldor mentioned that the child lost all her immediate family, and no other rtives


    were willing to take her. Keegan was worried about sending her to an orphanage, so he decided to


    keep her by his side for the time being."


    Taking a sip of tea, Marshall asked, "Have you all not considered putting her up for adoption?"


    Ste chuckled softly. "I did bring it up once with Keegan, and we ended up arguing. He used me of


    not being able to ept a child. If it weren''t for the paternity test I arranged between him and the child,


    I might have believed she was his biological daughter. He treasures her immensely.


    Well, she''s a sweet and sensible girl; well just continue to care for her."


    Marshall smiled faintly. "You''re quite open-minded about it."


    Squinting as she nced at someone in the distance engaged in conversation but asionally casting


    nces her way, Ste remarked lightly, Actually, Keegan mentioned this child to me before his


    ident. But at that time, I hadn''t met her. The name Keegan told me wasn''t Coco; it was Heather


    Morrell. He said this name was given to her by Coco''s mother, and she and Coco''s father met when


    scotch heather was in full bloom."


    Sighing, Ste continued, "It was supposed to be quite the romantic story, but unfortunately, the ending


    wasn’t a good one."


    Marshall didn''t say anything, but ripples spread across the ss in his hand, revealing his inner turmoil.


    After a while, he set down the ss and said softly, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."


    Ste nodded absentmindedly, sipping her juice.


    Without the name Heather, Coco was just Coco, but Marshall first met Willow Jenning under the


    heather tree.


    Marshall must know that Coco wasn''t his child, but upon hearing the name Heather, he must have


    thought that Willow still had feelings for him back then. Then he would surely investigate the matter


    between Willow and Jayson Morrell, unraveling the mysteries surrounding Jayson. Then, the truth


    might not be far off.


    She rubbed her forehead; regardless of whether Marshall''s actions were genuine or not, he had


    genuinely saved her. If she had really fallen, she didn''t dare think about the consequences.


    Marshall was a cunning and contradictory person; he wished Keegan dead yet still saved him. He knew


    she was Keegan''s weakness, yet he showed leniency toward her time and again.


    If only he were more ruthless, she wouldn''t have to worry about Keegan.


    "Why are you still staring when the person is already gone!”


    She heard someone gnashing their teeth beside her. Ste paused, meeting Keegan''s irritated gaze,


    then couldn''t help but chuckle, "You''re so close to me; be careful not to get caught feigning amnesia."


    Keegan gritted his teeth, annoyed. "I no longer want to pretend. It''s all because you wanted me to


    ''seduce'' Jaylene!"


    Steughed and subtly hooked her fingers around his under the sleeve, ■'' Okay, okay, it''s my fault. I


    made you feel wronged. I apologize. Don''t be angry. Do you know that you''re a godly figure in the eyes


    ofizens now? If they knew you threw tantrums like a child in private, they''d mock you."


    "As if I would care."


    "Then shall I post about how you fought for a $99 gift sock, or got jealous and had a tiff with your wife


    online? Or maybe share the story of how you treated your uncle as an imaginary enemy and put your


    father-inw''s leg on a stretcher for exercise?"


    Keegan red at her. "You wouldn''t dare!"


    Ste raised an eyebrow. "You said you wouldn''t care."

    Keegan''s lips twitched slightly. He didn''t want his wife to bring up his past embarrassing deeds. He


    quickly changed the subject, "What did you talk to him about?"
