Chapter 689
But, there were things that she could not avoid too.
Stella was full of thoughts as she kept eating.
Keegan looked at her. He suddenly put down his fork as he murmured, ’ Stop eating."
Stella was stunned. She swallowed the food in her mouth before she said,' You prepared the food for
me. But now, you won't let me eat it?"
Keegan gave her a glass of tea. "You ate quite a lot. You'll feel uncomfortable sleeping at night if you
continue eating."
Keegan paused before he continued, "Did you intentionally keep eating because you don't want to talk
to me?"
Stella was speechless, and she thought, 'Was it that obvious?'
She lowered her eyes without speaking. She grabbed the glass and took a sip.
She was actually very full. If Keegan did not stop her, she would probably feel bloated from overeating.
"Stella," Keegan softly called her. His voice was a little alluring. "There's nothing between Bella and me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI make her famous because she's useful to me. She can help someone who's very important to me. I'll
bring that
person to meet you in the future. But, not now. There are too many things involved in that matter. I don't
want to get you involved."
He stretched his hand across the table and softly held the back of her hand. He then grabbed her hand
and kissed it. He raised his eyes which were filled with tenderness and said, "As a husband, I wasn't
good enough. And, it's my first time. Growing up... I didn't have a right example that I could look up to.
You need to let me make some mistakes along the way. I still... I don't want to break up with you."
Stella's nose felt sour.
That was a moment when she wanted to cry.
But, she stopped herself.
The problems between her and Keegan could not be solved just for these simple reasons.
'We can adapt our tempers by compromising. Even though we argued, I was happy most of the time. I
rarely got sad.
'Keegan didn't cheat on me. He didn't have a mistress. Although he isn't very deeply in love with me, he
didn’t mistreat me.
'Wouldn't it be nice if things were this simple?'
Stella pursed her lips. She withdrew her hand from Keegan.
"Keegan, does grandma know..." Stella paused before she continued, "Does she know that I can't get
pregnant?"
Keegan's body abruptly became stiff, and his fingers trembled.
Stella lifted the corners of her lips and smiled. "She doesn't know, right?"
Keegan's mouth trembled. He remained silent.
"If grandma knows that I can't give birth, will she still allow you to marry me?"
Keegan's chin felt tight.
This was the problem that he had been avoiding. This was also the most critical issue.
"You're the eldest grandchild of the Kane family, and you're in charge of the Vinci Rivera Group. You
can't just not have a child for the rest of your life.
Grandma won't allow you to do that.
"She doesn't know about my health issue right now. That was why she always wanted us to get back

"You can hide this from her for some time. But, what if one day when she knows about it, and she can't
accept it? Then, she got so angry that she has health problems because of it? How do you want me to
live with that?"
Keegan had a lump in his throat. He said in a husky voice, "I can refuse to have children."
Stella lowered her eyes and laughed. "Everyone thinks differently at different stages of their life. You
don't want a child now. But, what about in the future?
"What if you regret it one or two years later? Or, ten or twenty years later? What if at that time you
regret the decision that you made during your younger days when you see others have children and
grandchildren?
"Will you think that you can't have children because of me? And, will I live in guilt for the rest of my life
because I can't give you a child? We'll become a rough couple sooner or later."
Stella suppressed the quivering feeling in her chest as she continued, "The matter between me and
Dahlia isn't over. I'll definitely take my revenge. It's impossible for you to do nothing when I take action
against her, right?"
She took a deep breath. Then, she said in an extremely soft voice, "So... We should end it here. We
should end our relationship during the time when we don't hate each other."
