Chapter 1889
Stella paused. She suddenly realized what Keegan was asking about.
Keegan still remembered when the kidnappers hit her when they were kidnapped. In fact, she did not suffer much because
Keegan protected her, shielding her from most of the beating.
She had seen the wounds on his back; the kidnapper was not holding back at all. If it was not for that, they could have escaped
together that day. He would not have been captured and nothing would have happened after that.
Tears did not stop flowing from Stella's eyes. Instead, they fell even more intensely, causing Keegan's heart to be in turmoil.
"Stella, don't cry."
Keegan gently touched her face and said in a hoarse voice," I can never bear to see you like this."
Stella sniffled. "These are tears of joy."
She lifted her hand, stroked his eyebrows, and said," Keegan, call my name again."
A hint of intoxication clouded Keegan's clear eyes. A person who was usually aloof and dignified appeared unusually gentle at
that moment.
He called out softly, "Stella.
"Stella.
"Stella..."
Stella suddenly lifted her head and kissed his lips.
A faint taste of alcohol lingered on their lips and teeth. With a graceful curve of her neck, Stella looked stunningly beautiful.
Keegan's breathing intensified, and he gradually tightened his grip around her waist.
As the atmosphere drowned in intimacy, Keegan suddenly pushed her away forcefully.
Stella panted. With a hint of redness at the corners of her eyes, she looked at him in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as she spoke, her voice became hoarse.
Keegan turned away as he breathed heavily, and his ears were flushed.
Then, he spoke in a low voice, "You need to control yourself."
Stella was puzzled.
"Control what?"
Keegan hesitated to speak as if he could not find the right words to express himself. It was only under Stella's continuous
questioning that he gritted his teeth and said," You're pregnant, and having sex can cause contractions.
Please restrain yourself."
Stella was speechless, as the corner of her lips twitched.
'I just wanted to kiss him. What is going on in his head?
'Besides, does he think we can do it whenever I want?
'We're in the car right now and out in public. Am I that shameless to him?
Honestly, I'm impressed by how he can instantly forget that he can't get it up whenever he's drunk just because he had too much
to drink.'
As Stella thought to herself, she pushed him away in anger and ignored him.
Keegan leaned over like a puppy. "Stella," he said softly.
Stella continued to ignore him.
Keegan wrapped his arm around her waist, stuck closer to her, and called out in an affectionate tone, "Stella."
Whenever Keegan got drunk, he would act like a cuddly puppy. He spoke in such a tender and loving way, that it made Stella
blush bashfully.
Stella could not bear it. She turned around and glared at him with a reddened face. "What do you want?"
Keegan chuckled and said softly, "How wonderful. We're going to be parents."
Stella was stunned, and her heart softened. "Yeah, it's so sudden. I'm a bit scared. I feel like raising a child might be
difficult.”
Keegan responded, "It can be challenging. We'll have to get up in the middle of the night to feed and change diapers.
"And, our baby has to be vaccinated and undergo regular check-ups from time to time. Well worry if the child grows too slowly or
too fast.
"She's going to be cute when she learns how to talk, but as she gets better at it, she's going to start talking back at us.
"And, when she grows up, we're going to worry if she would be tricked by some sweet-talking young man..."
