Chapter 41
‘What does Dahlia mean by this? They already know that Bella is pregnant, and they still told the nanny
to feed me this decoction? Are women just the baby–making tools of the Kane family? They don’t care at
all whether the baby is born in wedlock or out of wedlock as long as the woman can still give birth,‘ Stella
thought.
Seeing Stella’s eyebrows furrow, Maya quickly replied, “Madam Cordelia specifically told me to add some
sugar syrup so that it wouldn’t taste so bitter.”
Stella pursed her lips. “You saw it yourself, Maya. Keegan and I are getting divorced soon, so there is no
need for this decoction.”
“What are you saying, Madam? Having some hardships in your married life is unavoidable. You can’t just
keep mentioning divorce every time you get into a fight. It hurts the relationship. If the master did not
care about you, he wouldn’t have gone out after receiving the call. Besides, how can there be divorced
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcouples still sleeping in the same room?” Maya said.
Stella was speechless. She did not know how to tell Maya that both Keegan and she had merely slept on
the same bed. Nothing else had happened.
“Madam Cordelia said that the decoction should be ingested after performing sexual activities to increase
the chances of getting pregnant. When you have some good news and are able,” Maya continued.
Stella did not know how many times she had heard these words over the years. Initially, she also
assumed so. When Stella and Keegan were married, they had no foundation in their relationship. If they
could have a child together sooner, they would have a connection with each other sooner. Then, their
relationship would be able to grow.
However, all of this was just her imagination. Keegan fundamentally did not want to have a child with her.
She also slowly grew aware of this. Children are not tools for Stella to bind Keegan to her. That was a
living being. They should be born out of the expectation of the parents and not a tool for preserving the
parents‘ marriage. She was not willing to give birth to a child for Keegan. Her value as a person is also
not solely tied to her ability to give birth to a child.
“Maya, we currently don’t want to have a child, so drinking this decoction would be pointless,” Stella said.
“Ma’am, Madam Cordelia told me to make sure that you drink all of it. This is for your own good. Madam
Cordelia would see this as my fault if you don’t drink it. My son has just started studying at university this
year. I can’t afford to lose my job…” Maya, the nanny, was so anxious she was about to cry.
Dahlia was so adamant on this issue that she would even fire people just for drinking the decoction. Did
she assume that the decoction is as effective as the Nile River and thought that one less dosage would
cause them to lose the opportunity to get pregnant? It was absolutely absurd!
However, Stella was a softie, and she could not stand to refuse the request of others. Although she did
not want to drink it, she still took the decoction.
Maya’s heart skipped a beat when Keegan’s voice came from behind just as Stella had already put the
decoction to her lips, “Maya, you should go clean the study room. I accidentally spilled water on the
table, and the books were all wet. Help me move them out to get some sunlight.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella still had not drunk the decoction. Hence, Maya was a little hesitant. “Master, I’ll be there in a
minute…”
“Those books are important.” Keegan said calmly, “Sorry for the trouble.” Keegan’s words had an air of
attitude that could not be refused. The nanny did not dare to refuse him. She responded to his request,
turned around, and moved toward the study.
Stella gave Keegan a sidelong glance and thought, ‘So, Keegan hasn’t left yet. I am so unlucky!‘ Stella
thought.
She was just about to drink the decoction and leave when she heard that bastard say, “Stella, do you
really want to get pregnant? Should I be glad that I didn’t even touch you last night?”
Stella’s face fell.” Keegan, is something wrong with you? Who wants to get pregnant?”
Keegan glanced at the decoction in her hands. “Then, why are you drinking that? It doesn’t look
convincing to me.”
