Chapter 690
Keegan's lips trembled slightly, and he had bloodshot eyes.
Stella was like a gust of sand. No matter how he tried to grab it, he would lose her through his fingers.
Other than that time when his father passed away, this was the first time he felt powerless. He was flustered and scared.
His voice was hoarse. "Didn't you ask grandma that? She said she didn't mind."
Stella shook her head. "I was just probing grandma. She might not take it seriously. Just think about it. How is it possible for a
family like yours to allow you to not have a child? Others will give you weird looks."
Keegan stared at her for a long time. He then said in a deep voice, "You talked about what grandma would think from the
beginning until now, and you talked about others. But, what about you? What do you think?
"You're right. I care about what grandma thinks. But, the one who'll be living with me for the rest of my life is you. Your answer is
the most important.
"Children aren't that important. If you want to get pregnant, we can visit the doctors. If you don't want to get pregnant, we can
adopt kids. You can take your revenge if you want.
"I just want to know what you're thinking. Are you still willing to get back together with me?"
Aldor was standing next to the car window that they were in, listening to their conversation.
'The way Mr. Kane talks... has improved. At least he went straight to the point.'
To Keegan, his wife was more important than children and how others perceived him.
What Keegan said stirred Stella's heart.
He had many flaws. He was not thoughtful and gentle enough. He talked harshly and stupidly. Even when he did good things, he
would somehow make a mess because of his words.
But, he had a lot of good qualities too. When Aurora bullied her, he would secretly avenge her. Even though she would only know
about it after a very long time. It was fine for him to talk harshly to Stella. But, when someone else did that to her, he would
definitely find a way to get back at them.
Although those people might not speak as harshly as her, he would still get her out of trouble when she bragged too much. He
ordered a neckless for her just because of a sentence that she casually said, he was handsome, and he was completely her
aesthetic preference...
She was not a flawless person either. She spoke harsher than Keegan. She was vindictive. When she was good-tempered,
things could be resolved when Keegan soothed her. But, when she was bad-tempered, if she was unhappy with Keegan coming
home in the middle of the night, she would lock him out of the room. She would not allow him to enter...
Even if Keegan was angry, he would immediately cool off when she cut a plate of strawberries for him the next day. At most, he
would just say that the bed in the study room was very hard.
She was petty and unforgiving. She would remember clearly the bad things that Keegan did to her. She always thought that
Keegan only married her because he could not be with his first love. And, She always thought that he would never truly love her.
Today, she finally understood what Rainee said back then.
'Mom once said, "To live as a couple, one should focus on the partner's good qualities instead of his flaws. No one is flawless in
this world. If you want your partner to be perfect, you should also think about whether you're perfect."'
God was always fair. Humans could not have everything they wanted. Otherwise, humans would be unhappy this way.
Stella asked herself, 'If Keegan is perfect like Marshall, who is thoughtful in all aspects, gentle, attentive, and flawless, will I like
him?'
The answer was no.
That would not be the Keegan she knew. She would feel scared and panicked, and she would think that she did not deserve
someone like that.
Reality was different from fairy tales. Things would not just end well just because she was willing to get back with him.
She would never feel safe with him as long as the problems between them remained unsolved.
She would not be at ease. She would be worried that he might regret it and that they might return to their previous state in the
end.
Hence, she did not want that.
Stella suppressed her emotions. She raised her eyes and said, "I'm not willing to.”
Keegan's face turned a little pale. His lips trembled as he asked, "Why?"
Stella avoided eye contact, as she said, "If I were to remarry, I'll find someone that I like who likes me too. Do you understand?"
Keegan's face was completely pale. His eyes were red, and his voice subconsciously became gloomy. His voice was shaky as
he said, "Who do you like?"
Stella was a little anxious. In the end, she said, "It's none of your business."
She just wanted Keegan to give up on her. That was just an excuse she made up.
