Chapter 1074
Keegan almost let out a laugh, but he held himself back and cast a cold glance at Stella. "I want you to show me
affection, not buffoonery," he said, unsatisfied.
Stella's lips twitched, and she said, "Don't push it, Keegan."
With that, he found another thing to argue about. "You keep getting impatient with me. You can’t even last a
minute, yet you were patient with Marshall from the beginning. I was clearly injured more badly than him when we
had that horse race at Grandma's place. But you left with him without even looking back. Don't you think that it was
too much?"
Keegan's words left Stella stunned. "Aren't you standing right in front of me now with no injuries?"
Keegan immediately felt wronged. "I dislocated my arm, Stella! He just scraped himself a little. I'm sure the wound
scabbed over when the two of you reached the hospital!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella was taken aback when she heard that. "Why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
Keegan thought that he had already let go of that matter. However, when Stella asked him that question, he felt
more and more aggrieved.
"You rushed up to me and scolded me at that time. You blamed me for his injury because I was the one who wanted
to have the race with him. How was I supposed to tell you?" Keegan looked down and said, "Even if I did say
something, you wouldn't have cared anyway since you hated me so much."
Stella opened her mouth, but no words came out. After a long time, she said, "I didn't know you were hurt. Plus, I
wasn't scolding just because Mr. Moore got hurt. I was... in shock."
Stella almost had a heart attack when Keegan fell off the horse. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw
him get up from the ground and walk toward them. Other than being in shock, she hated herself for still caring
about Keegan after their divorce. Her two conflicting emotions then led her to give the man a tongue-lashing.
Keegan was startled. His heart went soft when he saw Stella's expression. He gently rubbed her hand and
whispered, "Forget it. I forgive you."
Hearing those words, Stella was a little puzzled. 'I wasn't trying to apologize. I'm not the only person at fault here.'
"Just don't smile at him like that next time."
Stella could not believe her ears, but she said, "I will try to avoid having contact with him the next time we meet,
okay?"
Keegan nodded. "Great."
Stella hit him in the arm and said, "There's no need to be jealous. I wasn't worried about him because he was
special to me. I just felt sorry for him. You know about his previous injury, right? The huge burn?”
Keegan paused, and his expression slightly tightened. "How do you know about his burn?" He asked in a deep voice.
"He showed me," Stella blurted out.
Keegan gritted his teeth, and his face darkened. "He showed you? How? By taking off his clothes in front of you?"
Stella's mouth twitched. "What are you thinking about? Remember how we take my grandpa on a cruise? I..." Stella

Keegan noticed the pause. He gauged her expression and snorted, "You mean when he was making you pasta?"
Stella did not answer. She ignored Keegan's unwarranted jealousy and said, "He's so young, yet his body is full of
scars, and he also has migraines. I feel sorry for him, especially after you told me a few days ago that he witnessed
his brother's death when he was a child. Though, he is optimistic about life and very soft-spoken. I feel bad every
time I want to say something harsh to him. How could I possibly yell at that man?"
A strange expression appeared on Keegan's face. After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Did he tell
you how he got his injury?"
Stella shook her head. "No. He doesn't seem to remember much. I think his brain is blocking the memory, which is
normal. Like, I wouldn't want to recall the day my mom and I got into the car accident. It would be great if I could
erase that painful memory from my mind."
Stella paused briefly, asking, "Do you know how he got that injury?”
Keegan glanced at her and said, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't talk to him anymore? Why are you getting so
concerned about him now?" "Can't I just gossip a little?
