Chapter 1788

Stella scoffed, "I see."

She vigorously stirred the dumplings in her bowl, creating a crisp sound as the spoon repeatedly hit the dishware.

Having dined together at the Saun residence before, Keegan knew Stella's table etiquette was far more refined

than her current demeanor. It then dawned on him that something was wrong. "Are you upset?" he asked.

"No," Stella flashed a fake smile. "I'm so thrilled that you remembered to bring me food coming home from work so

late, Mr. Kane."

Keegan detected a pattern. Whenever Stella was angry, she would address him as "Mr. Kane".

He vaguely recalled her raising her eyebrows and commenting, "Nice watch, Mr. Kane." Yet, she wasn't genuinely

admiring his timepiece; she was being sarcastic.

Keegan couldn't fathom what had triggered her irritation, so he asked, "Don't you like shrimp filling?"

Stella shook her head and said in a serious tone, "No, I do. Like you said, shrimp is good for pregnant women. It’s

good for the baby too."

Hearing that, Keegan seemed to understand. After a brief pause, he admitted, "The owner of The Deli mentioned

that I always requested pelmeni with shrimp filling. I assumed you might enjoy it."

Stella paused. When she resumed eating, the spoon no longer clinked against the bowl.

Keegan came to the conclusion that pregnant women indeed experience significant fluctuations in emotions under

the influence of hormones.

After finishing the pelmeni, Stella was about to head upstairs when Keegan stopped her. "Let's go for a walk to aid

digestion."

Stella was even more surprised now. 'Did Keegan feel pressured and surrender without a fight?

She glanced around and nodded, "Sure."

Stella grabbed her coat, and they left together.

Nestled between the mountains and waters, Royalpark Villa offered an exceptional view. The landscaping was

meticulous, boasting a variety of trees and bushes. The area remained lush and green despite the winter season.

Stella and Keegan had lived in Royalpark Villa for three years, yet they rarely strolled together as they were doing

now. Keegan was occupied with work and often got up early for a jog before heading to the office.

On the other hand, Stella was not a morning person. She usually came out in the evening, but Keegan would be

working late. Even when they occasionally walked together, there was a lack of harmony between them. They

would walk one after the other, resembling strangers.

With this in mind, Stella quickly caught up, walking to Keegan's side and linking arms with him.

Keegan instinctively wanted to pull away, but Stella calmly said, "Don't forget why I'm staying here."

Keegan paused, and he awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Can you give me a heads-up next time physical contact is

involved?"

Stella replied indifferently, "Sure."

As a gentle breeze blew, Stella adjusted her coat and asked, "How was the check-up today? What did the doctor

say?"

"Everything seems to be normal," said Keegan.

'Normal? How could losing one's memory be considered normal?' Stella thought.

"Um..." Stella gently tightened her grip and exhaled softly." When treating those injuries on your body, did you

suffer?"

Keegan recalled Stella crying when she saw his injuries in the study at Cordelia's place. He lowered his eyes and

murmured, "I took a lot of painkillers at that time. I was in a daze every day. Looking back now, I don't remember

much pain. So I assume it was bearable."
