Chapter 2249 Dahlia was really pushing for marriage, but Cordelia wasn't in a rush. She urged him to take his time, emphasizing that it's a lifetcommitment and he should choose someone he genuinely liked and got along with.

As forthat...

He didn't really feel like he was head over heels for her. Even including the car accident, he'd only seen her four times, and they hadn't even exchanged a word. He just found her easy on the eyes.

He didn't want to tie the knot with a stranger.

He didn't have tto spare for mingling with strangers; his experiments alone kept him busy enough.

She probably wasn't thrilled about marrying that old geezer who could practically be her dad, right? And speaking of the accident, even though it was unintentional, it was her mother who caused Willow Jenning's death. If Marshall were to remember and go off the rails, could she end up getting hurt? He figured it was safer to stick with someone close to him. After all, he was the one who told Marshall that his aunt had found Willow, and it was right after that when the accident happened.

He felt responsible.

He pretty much talked himself into it without much resistance and reached out to her for a blind date the next day.

The blind date went smoothly; when she laid eyes on him, her expression seemed to show a flicker of recognition.

But she didn't say anything, so he left it at that.

She probably thought Albert had pulled sstrings to set up the blind date, so she was a bit reserved, likely worried he'd see through it.

Albert did want to meddle, but he wasn't that savvy.

After the blind date, he swung by her place and passed on her info; he was ready to tie the knot.

Cordelia did a background check on the Jewell family and declined.

It wasn't that she thought the Jewell family wasn't up to snuff; she just had doubts about Albert's character. His comatose wife remained unattended, and he cand went with a young secretary by his side every day. Could a person like that raise a decent daughter? Keegan wasn't much of a talker, but that day he opened up to Cordelia about Stella standing up for a friend and her current situation, it finally made it clear that she was the one for him.

Cordelia fretted over it, arranged for someone to keep an eye on Stella for two weeks, and eventually relented.

Proposal, marriage certificate, wedding-all in one fell swoop.

For a while, Keegan kinda felt like he then was Stella's knight in shining armor; he didn't even realize then that Stella might not have had the option to turn him down.

His reasons for tying the knot, whether for convenience or out of a sense of duty were really just a facade for his lack of genuine affection. There were plenty of ways he could've helped and protected her, but he just had to marry her.

Truth be told, ever since Stella started appearing more and more on his popular science account, he was already hooked.

All those convoluted reasons were just his way of staking his claim on her. Stella had already drifted off to sleep; Keegan wrapped his arm Reliard alrency drifted off to around her waist, gently stroking her abdomen. The phone on the table buzzed, furrowing Stella's brows, but she remained asleep.

Keegan ran his fingers through her hair, glanced at the phone, and saw a text that read, "Keegan, happy birthday."
