Chapter 307
Stella suddenly felt like laughing. She found that Keegan’s tone was like a kid throwing a tantrum. She
obviously would not say it to his face, as Keegan would have lost his temper. Hence, she coaxed him
softly, “Mr. Kane. I’m so sorry. Please don’t be mad at me. I’m still counting on you to make money and
support me. How could I bear to let you die? I’ll be heartbroken even if you get scratched. Is it alright if I
pull you over here? You can get back to being angry with me once you get in the safety seat.”
Her apology was not sincere at all. Keegan knew that, but her sweet talking still tangled him up. Keegan
looked at her thin arm and thin legs. “Will you be able to handle me?”
“Don’t look down on me. I’m strong!”
Keegan glanced at her long white legs and thought to himself. ‘Well, those legs are indeed not weak.’ He
untied the bed sheet and tossed it to Stella. “Tie this end to the safety seat.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella followed as he said. Keegan tugged the bed sheet to ensure it was firm and pulled it toward Stella.
Everything was going very smoothly in the beginning. However, as Keegan was about to reach the safety
seat, the ship started swaying vigorously. He knelt on the ground, pulling the bed sheet tight to uphold
his body.
Stella reached her hand out hurriedly. “Grab onto me.”
Keegan stretched his hand out and realized that there was still a short distance to reach Stella. No
matter how hard Stella tried, there would always be a distance between them. Keegan could not stabilize
his body as the ship was swaying. Stella became anxious, so she unbuckled her seat belt and held
Keegan’s hand.
Before she could even get happy, the waves rushed in as if it was targeting them. With another jolt,
Stella stumbled down the safety seat and went into Keegan’s arms. Keegan wrapped his arms around
Stella subconsciously when she knocked him down. They then rolled to the foot
of the bed.
Stella heard Keegan’s muffled grunt of pain coming from behind and said sheepishly, “Mr. Kane. Are you
alright?”
Keegan gritted his teeth. “Are you crazy? Why did you unbuckle your seat belt?”
“I just wanted to catch you. Who knew the waves would hit in so quickly?”
Keegan was about to scold her when he realized he could not. Stella thought he was still angry and
whispered, “Look on the bright side; the more friction we produce, the higher the chance we won’t get
thrown off.”
Keegan tried to hold back but was unsuccessful. “How did you get into college last time?”
“What does friction have to do with this?’ Keegan thought.
“I was pretty, so they made an exception and got me in.”
Keegan was speechless at her response. “You only care about your looks so much that you let your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrain go crazy?”
“One specialty is enough How could other people live if I’m perfect?” Stella was great at finding excuses
Keegan eased his temper after Stella’s little trick Stella nestled in Keegan’s
arm, listening to his steady heart beat. They had been married for so many years, yet this was the first
time they had an intimate gesture. It was weird, but at the same time, it was not weird at all.
“Mr. Kane…”
“Yes?” The man was still cold, but he did not sound impatient.
Stella said softly, “If the ship shakes again, you can use me as your cover. I’m not just a problem to you.”
Keegan was startled, and he hugged her tightly. “Other husbands respects and loves their wives. Am I
even a man if I made you a scapegoat for things? And now, making you my cover?”
Stella was speechless. Keegan would literally remember every single argument.
“Mr. Kane.
”
“Stop talking. Go to sleep if you’re tired.”
