Chapter 840
Stella glanced at the time and said, "It's late now. Thanks for driving me to a movie today. Let's call it a night and head back to
our respective homes."
Stella turned around and left after speaking. Keegan grabbed her wrist abruptly and pulled her back into his arms.
"Are you done?" Keegan's eyes were ardent. "You should have given me a chance to say a few words after you finished, right?"
Stella looked at him. "What do you want to say?"
"You don't have to try to make me give up. Do you think I don't know that you did that to me on purpose? You keep testing my
tolerance for you.
Don't you believe in my determination to be with you?"
Stella licked her lower lip without saying anything. Her undeniable crush on him and mixed feeling were easily found out by
Keegan.
Keegan held her hand and whispered, "I know you have a lot of uncertainties about me in your heart. I also know that the issue
of childbirth has been weighing on your mind. I won't force you to make a choice so soon. If you're willing to fall in love with me,
our relationship can start anytime. If you're not willing, you can continue to observe. You're the one who accommodated me a lot
when we were together last time. It's my turn to accommodate you now. Tell me if I did anything wrong. I'll try my best to
change."
Stella was moved, but it only lasted for a second. Then, she heard Keegan continue, "If you don't fall in love with me, don't fall in
love with anyone else."
Stella was puzzled. "Don't you feel that your request is a little overboard?"
Keegan lowered his eyes. With a sound of "urn," he whispered, "I'll go crazy." Stella did not hear it clearly. However, she felt that
Keegan had become dingier and better at detecting others' moods since their divorce. He was really changing just like what he
said. The truth was that he could always know her thoughts, even if she hid them well in front of others.
Suddenly, Keegan squatted down in front of her. "Come."
Stella was taken aback. "What?"
Keegan then said, "Didn't you say that your legs were hurting from walking to the parking lot? I'll carry you there."
Keegan was squatting in the center of the square. He was tall and strong, so he was a little conspicuous. People around kept
looking at him.
Stella pulled him hurriedly and whispered, "I was just kidding. Now, get up."
Keegan was very stubborn. He replied, "I took it seriously. Come."
Stella whispered, "It's not that you don't know how heavy I am. The parking is over a kilometer away from here. Are you crazy?"
Keegan said, "Let's give it a try. I haven't carried you much. People will recognize you if you don't move fast."
Seeing that more and more people were there, Stella simply jumped on his back and angrily said, "I'm gonna crush you!"
Keegan chuckled. He stood up with Stella on his back. After walking a few meters, he said, "You're quite heavy."
Stella hammered him on the shoulder and whispered, "Shut up!"
The distance of a few hundred meters was neither far nor close, but it must be very tiring to carry a person on such a hot
summer day. Although Keegan did not pant loudly, Stella could clearly feel his heartbeat beating faster as he walked.
Stella wrapped her arms around his shoulders and buried her face in the hollow of Keegan's shoulders. After a long time, she
murmured, "Keegan."
"Yes?" Keegan responded softly.
A few seconds later, Keegan heard her say, "Bring me to the doctor you mentioned last time. I have no family, and I really want a
child of my own."
Keegan's heart trembled, and he pressed his lips together tightly. It took him a long time before he said in a hoarse voice,
"Okay."
