“Stop,” Keegan playfully pinched Stella’s cheek and said. “If you’re being too greedy, I bet none of them will come true.”
Stella pouted and reluctantly complied. “Alright. I’ll just go with the last wish I made.” She then turned to Keegan and asked, “Where’s my birthday gift?”
“It’s closer than you think it is.”
Stella immediately grabbed her fork and began to search within the cake.
Keegan was confused. “What are you doing?”
“You said it’s close by.” Stella did not even look up, and her face was filled with excitement. “What did you hide in the cake? Is it a piece of jewelry or a credit card? It might be a bit cliche, but I like it. Wait, where is it? Why can’t I find it? Did you hide it at the very bottom of the cake?”
Keegan did not know how to break the news to her. “Your gift this year is me.”
Stella paused and glared at him. Following that, she put down her fork and waved her hand. “Goodnight.”
Keegan’s mouth twitched when he heard that. He stepped forward, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms. He clenched his teeth and said, “Am I not as precious as jewelry and money?”
“Didn’t you already give yourself to me when you proposed? Why are you giving yourself to me again on my birthday? Are you trying to combine the two special occasions? I can’t believe you’re treating me like this when we’re not even married yet.”
“It’s different. When I proposed, I gave you my heart. Now, I’m giving you my body for your birthday. Don’t you want it? I’ve been working out lately,” said Keegan.
Stella could not believe her ears. She glanced at the man in front of her and cleared her throat. “Can I… take a quick peek?”
Keegan chuckled softly and bent down to lift her up. His physique was indeed impressive. Not only did Stella get to look at it, but she also got to feel it.
Considering they had to leave the next day, Keegan did not want to overdo it. So, they only had intercourse twice that night.
Following that, Stella nestled in his arms and murmured,” Can you reverse your vasectomy when we get back to Rivera? Otherwise, my wish won’t come true.”
Keegan was taken aback. “What on earth did you wish for?”
Stella held him tighter and whispered, “I wished for you to be a dad before you turn thirty-five. I don’t want you to stand on the sidelines with a cane, as you watch me play with the kids. Their classmates will probably think that you’re their grandpa during parent-teacher meetings. The thought of it makes my heart break.”
Her answer left Keegan speechless. ‘I really shouldn’t have
asked her that question,’ bethought. His heart suddenly softened when he imagined having children with Stella. He hugged her and said, “I want a daughter.”
Stella yawned and closed her eyes. “Then, you better try harder.”
The next day, the couple boarded a plane back to Rivera. Upon landing, they hurriedly went to the birthday party at the Saun residence. Stella had only invited a few close family members and friends. Even though the gathering was small, the atmosphere felt comfortable.
Keegan then returned to the company before the birthday banquet ended.
Stella did not see him again in the days that followed. The election was just around the corner, and Keegan was extremely busy. Stella did not dare to disturb him, as she was afraid that Keegan would get distracted. She had their servants prepare nutritious meals every day, which were delivered to the company for Keegan.
During that period, business at The Velvet had become more stable. Wenham then decided to take Stella on a trip to Caline to familiarize her with the situation there.
Caline was completely different from The Velvet. It was a highly developed fragrance company that had collaborated with major companies in the country. These include well- known cleaning product companies, food organizations, and even tobacco corporations.
The business sectors in Caline were diverse and highly
specialized. Since the brand was known for its perfume line, the company headquarters placed great importance on this particular trade.
