Chapter 1735
Startled, Coco quickly jumped off her chair and dashed to the door. She stuck her head out to see what was going on.
There was no one in the hallway other than the cleaning lady polishing the handrail on the stairs.
Spotting some scattered dirt near the entrance where a flowerpot was, Coco held the phone and called for Stella. After receiving no response, she lowered her head and realized the call had been unexpectedly disconnected.
Coco was thinking of redialing the number when she heard Keegan’s voice asking, “Did I leave my phone in your room?”
In response, Coco swiftly withdrew her finger, contemplating a condition before returning the phone to him. “Give me Aunt Stella’s number, and I’ll return your phone.”
Keegan shot her a glance. “I’ll give it to you, but she won’t answer your call.”
“Aunt Stella isn’t as petty as you,” Coco mumbled. “I don’t care if she doesn’t answer. Just give me the number.”
Keegan observed her briefly before stating, “If you don’t give me the phone, how can I tell you the number?”
Coco wanted to say she could find it herself, but fearing Keegan would discover she had called Stella with his phone, she reluctantly returned the device to him.
Unexpectedly, Keegan turned around and left after grabbing the phone. Coco hurriedly ran after him and said, “You haven’t given me Aunt Stella’s number!”
With his height advantage, Keegan dangled the phone above Coco. “Lesson one in society: Never trust anyone, even those closest to you.” 2
Coco’s face turned red. She grabbed Keegan’s other hand and bit it.
In response, Keegan lifted her effortlessly.
But Coco continued biting his hand. She looked at Keegan with hatred as if accusing him of being untrustworthy.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“Let go,” Keegan warned.
Instead of complying with his wishes, Coco bit down even harder.
Keegan sighed and uttered a series of numbers.
Coco paused and blankly stared at him.
“Didn’t you say you want her number?” Keegan said in disdain.
Coco quickly released her bite and asked him to repeat it.
“I’ll say it one more time, and that’s it. If you don’t remember, then too bad.”
“Hurry up and tell me!” Coco urged.
Keegan repeated the number, and Coco swiftly put it onto her phone.
After saving it, she looked at him and said, “Uncle Keegan.”
Keegan glanced at her. “What’s wrong?”
Coco leaned in. “I thought you don’t remember Aunt Stella. How come you remember her phone number?”
With both hands covering her mouth, she whispered, “Are you pretending to have amnesia to deceive her? Did you get jealous seeing her with that handsome uncle?”
Keegan paused. “Handsome uncle? Is there someone more handsome than me?” 1
Coco was speechless. “So, was what I said true or not?”
