Stella pulled the blanket and said nonchalantly, “Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” As she spoke, she realized her voice was a bit hoarse and decided to clear her throat.
A hint of amusement flashed in Keegan’s eyes as he watched her. “It’s the weekend.”
“Oh,” Stella replied while she buried herself under the covers.
Keegan checked the time on his phone and said, “It’s almost 11 o’clock.”
Stella contemplated getting out of bed but felt a little embarrassed with Keegan there since she was not wearing anything under the sheets. Seeing that Keegan was not moving, she decided to engage in some small talk. “I wonder how things are going on Albert’s side.”
“Hylda and Sophia tried to hide Hugo away last night, but Vermont caught them…” Keegan informed Stella of what Vermont and Felicity did last night and concluded with,” He’s probably busy taking a DNA test with Hugo now.”
Stella froze for a moment when she heard that. “I can’t believe Albert spent his whole life longing for a son only to end up raising someone else’s child,” she sneered.
“Let’s hope he can come to terms with it,” Keegan replied.
Stella did not know what he meant, so he explained, “The child is still his wife’s even if it’s not his. They come in a
bundle. So he has to learn how to deal with it unless he wants to get a divorce.”
“I see,” Stella laughed.
“Should we get out of bed?” Keegan glanced at her and asked.
Stella held onto the blanket tightly, trying to appear composed. “You go ahead. I want to lay here a little longer.”
Keegan was about to sit up but decided to lie back down when he heard Stella say that. “I’ll lay with you for a while then.”
“Why don’t you get up first? We’d have to fight for the bathroom if we get up together,” Stella said, doing her best to make Keegan leave the bed first.
Keegan looked at her and said, “We literally have more than one bathroom.”
Stella was at a loss for words.
“Why don’t we have a chat? They say that having conversations with your partner can strengthen your bond,” Keegan said softly.
“What do you want to talk about?” asked Stella.
“Let’s talk about your first love,” Keegan suggested.
‘Not this again,’ Stella thought. ‘He’s such a jealous person!’
She then tried to act dumb and say, “You’re making things hard here, Keegan. It’s literally been so long. I don’t remember much.”
“Didn’t you say you remember the days when you guys went for tuition classes? Why don’t we start from there?”
Stella could not help but laugh upon hearing that. She leaned closer to Keegan and played with his hair, saying,” How come I didn’t know you were such a jealous partner? You’re asking me to tell you stories about my ex, but you and I both know you’ll get mad after listening to them. Why would you want to put yourself through that?”
“I’d feel better if we’re married,” Keegan pursed his lips and said.
“Okay then. We’ll get remarried after you’ve accumulated enough points,” Stella chuckled.
Keegan’s expression turned serious as he asked, “You promise?”
