Chapter 210
Aurora held an empty pill box in her hand, and it was the same one that Stella had thrown into the trash
after taking her birth control pill the day before.
Stella wondered how it ended up back in her room, considering Maya had cleaned it yesterday.
But, before she could ponder any further, Dahlia’s expression turned grim as she took the pill box from
Aurora and read the text on it. Dahlia questioned Stella, “What is this, Stella Jewell? Why is there a birth
control pill box in your room?”
Stella’s face went pale. This time, she did not fake it. She was startled.
Cordelia, who was still in the dark about the situation, asked in confusion, “What’s going on? What is
that?”
Dahlia’s grim expression remained as she explained, “It’s a box of birth control pills. No wonder she

Cordelia was taken aback. “Contraception?” she asked, looking at the box and then at Stella before
turning to Keegan. “Keegan, did you make her take these pills?”
Aurora spoke up unhappily. “Grandma, you’re still biased toward her. Keegan couldn’t have forced her to
take the pills if she refused them.”
Cordelia hit her cane on the ground and yelled, “Shut up! I didn’t ask for your opinion!”
Aurora snapped her mouth shut, and she was fuming.
Stella felt ashamed and guilty when Cordelia did not suspect her, even at times like this. She clenched
her fingers tightly and said in a low voice before Keegan spoke. “No, Keegan doesn’t know about this.
I’m the one who wanted to take it.”
Cordelia’s expression showed that she was really disappointed. She tried to control her emotions, as she
sternly asked, “Why?”
eyes.
Stella hung her head low and spoke in a low voice. “I’m not ready yet.” She could not bring herself to
meet Cordelia’s gaze. She was too afraid of seeing the disappointment in her Cordelia looked at Stella
with a mixture of emotions, and she stayed silent for a long while. Eventually, she softly said, “Let’s go
home.” She did not scold Stella, nor did she mention the issue any further.
Dahlia shot a glare at Stella and said, “You are so disappointing.” She then helped Cordelia leave.
Keegan saw everyone out, but upon returning to the bedroom, he found that Stella was nowhere to be
seen. In his search, he walked past the second floor and noticed that the door to the rooftop was ajar.
He opened the door, and there she was on the rooftop. The rooftop was a verdant oasis, teeming with
plants and flowers nurtured by Stella. Although spring had ended, the place was a reminder of its beauty.
Stella was standing by the fence, and her gaze was fixed on Cordelia’s retreating car until it was no
longer in sight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeegan approached Stella and asked in a gentle tone, “When did you take the pill?
Stella replied in a monotone, “Yesterday morning.”
It was the day after they had intimacy.
Keegan furrowed his brows. “Why did you take it?”
Stella found the question amusing, but she was in no mood to laugh. ‘It’s funny that you don’t want kids,
but you never took any precautions. And now, when I took the birth control pill, I’m the one getting
blamed,’ she thought.
Stella said lightly, “What if I didn’t take the pill and got pregnant?
Keegan rejected the possibility instantly. “There’s no way you can get pregnant,” he replied firmly.
Stella was taken aback and asked, “How are you so sure that I won’t?”
Keegan hesitated, avoiding her gaze. In a low voice, he said, “I took a measure that day.”
Stella was
s momentarily stunned before she realized what he meant.
‘As expected, Keegan would never make such a mistake.’
