Chapter 1604
"You don't have to do that," Keegan leaned in and whispered in Stella’s ear. "I gave you that money so that you can
have a safety net. I've already hired a lawyer to come up with an agreement. With the money, you will have the
right to leave any relationship in any unforeseeable circumstances."
Stella was momentarily stunned. She felt a bittersweet pang in her heart. "Why are you saying it as if you would no
longer be with me in the future?"
Keegan gently nuzzled her cheek. "Grandma was hospitalized again recently. Although it's for the same reason, I
notice she's not as energetic as before. Life is unpredictable, Stella. Who knows what'll happen? I want to make
sure you're well taken care of, so I can have peace of mind."
Stella understood that Keegan was thinking ahead for her sake, but such topics always left her uneasy. "Why do you
always bring up things like these when I'm happy?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan noticed that she was upset and changed the subject. "Let's freshen up and go out for a walk."
Stella perked up when she heard that. "I'll go change into a dress. We can take some photos later."
The couple had been together for four years but did not have many chances to travel, especially in such a relaxed
state.
Keegan's photography skills had not improved, but Stella was still happy.
After a day of walking around, Stella was tired. However, she became excited again when she returned to the hotel
and showered. "Can we take our wedding photos here?" she asked.
"We can go wherever you want as long as it's not off the face of the Earth," Keegan replied.
Stella laughed for a long while in response.
Keegan then helped her dry her hair. Seeing her looking around, he reached out and pushed down on her
shoulder." What are you laughing about?"
Stella looked up at him. "I was thinking about the photos from our first wedding. You had such a serious expression
the whole time. It made me think you hated taking pictures. But you were all smiles in the photos we took today. Be
honest with me. Were you nervous back then? Is that why you didn't smile?"
Keegan chuckled and said, "It's true that I don't really like taking pictures. And... It's also true that I was nervous.
But can you blame me? It was my first time taking wedding photos."
Keegan's usual poker face was his go-to expression for hiding his nervousness.
Just as they were talking, Keegan suddenly stood up and turned off all the lights in the room, leaving only a dim
lamp
by the bed.
Stella was confused. Not long after, she saw a flash of light in the darkness, and a cake with lit candles appeared on
the table. At the same time, the cheerful tune of 'Happy Birthday' filled the room.
Keegan walked over, took her hand, and brought her in front of the cake. "Happy birthday, Mrs. Kane. You're
another year older."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly then did Stella realize that it had just passed midnight.
"Make a wish." Keegan wanted to say something else, but seeing that the candles were almost burnt out, he urged
her to blow them out.
Feeling flustered, Stella made a wish and hurriedly blew out the candles.
"Wait, no. Light the candles again. I didn’t make a good wish just now. I want to take it back and make a new one,"
she fretted.
Keegan was speechless. "Can you take back a wish?"
"Just hurry up and light them up!"
Keegan had no choice but to re-light a candle. Stella clasped her hands and closed her eyes to make a new wish.
She then opened her eyes and blew out the candles once more.
Just as Keegan was about to remove them, Stella stopped him and said, "I feel like my last wish might not be easy
to come true. Let me do it again."
Keegan could not believe her.
