Chapter 1814

Keegan watched helplessly as the mattress was moved to Aurora's room.

He roamed around the house with an angry face and found that the only place he could sleep was the couch in the

living room.

That was his room, and two other maids were living there. How could a grown man like him sleep on the couch?

He paced back-and-forth outside the master bedroom. He extended his arm to the doorknob several times but

could not bring himself to twist it open.

As he hesitated, the door suddenly swung open. Stella, dressed in her pajamas, leaned against the door frame,

arms crossed. She glanced at him and asked, "You've been standing there for over half an hour. Are you going to

sleep with me or not?"

"I'm not going to sleep with you," Keegan corrected her.

"Ah, sleep in the same room as me," Stella clarified.

Then, he explained, "Aurora moved the mattress from the study to her room, and I have nowhere else to sleep."

Stella raised an eyebrow.

Keegan pressed his lips together before saying, "I'll grab some blankets and sleep on the floor. Tomorrow, I'll buy

another bed."

Stella glanced at him, stepped aside, and said evenly," Come on in."

Keegan adjusted his collar and took a deep breath before entering.

Stella opened the wardrobe, retrieved a blanket, and placed it on the bed.

Just as Keegan was about to pick it up, Stella grabbed his wrist. "Sleep on the bed. Your injuries haven't fully healed

yet. There's no need to act tough."

Keegan looked at her hands, feeling the resistance he had toward her was gradually fading. 'Well, at least my hand

doesn't feel as cold now,' he thought to himself.

He lowered his eyes and said after a long pause, "Okay."

After that, Stella headed to the bathroom, leaving Keegan seated on the bed. He absentmindedly grabbed a book

from the nightstand, but as he flipped through the pages, he couldn't focus on a single word.

The scent from the blanket filled the air, stronger than when he had first come in.

Putting the book aside, he instinctively lifted the blanket from Stella's side. That's when he noticed a bra tucked

underneath it.

Keegan was taken aback when he realized what he was seeing, his cheeks reddening.

"Keegan Kane, did you take my body lotion?"

Keegan, feeling as if caught red-handed, hastily put the blanket back down. Clearing his throat, he tried to appear

composed. "I didn't. Check if it's in the cabinet."

"Oh, okay," Stella responded without asking any further.

However, Keegan's ears were still flushed. He felt the need to do something to calm himself down. He turned

around and saw the book lying on Stella's book lying on the bedside table. He was curious about what she was

reading, so he reached out to grab it.

To his surprise, Stella was reading professional books on perfumery.

She had made numerous notes with a pen, indicating her dedication to the subject.

During the banquet the Saun family held to welcome her back, Wenham had transferred his Caline shares to Stella,

so Keegan figured that she was probably preparing forthat.

Jaylene had previously expressed her frustration to Keegan regarding Wenham's favoritism, as he refused to allow

her involvement with Caline. However, the moment Stella returned, Wenham promptly transferred the shares to

her, even though she had no knowledge of perfumery.

Caline held significant value, established through her mother's relentless efforts over the years. Jaylene couldn't

comprehend why Stella, who knew nothing about the business, could inherit it simply because she returned. Jaylene

feared that Caline would suffer in Stella's inexperienced hands.

At that time, Keegan didn't offer any response.

He was still badly injured and could not even get out of bed. He took so many medicines that he could barely think

straight, and he trusted in everything Jaylene said to him.

However, reflecting now, he pondered, 'Wasn't Freesia Hall the one who founded Caline? Even if Stella lacks

knowledge, what's wrong with Wenham passing the shares to the founder's biological daughter?'
