NovelEnglishChapter 694
After he hung up the phone, Keegan stayed in the car for a moment before exiting the vehicle. Aldor
was smoking beside the car.
He saw Keegan come over and wanted to put out his cigarette. Aldor knew that Keegan did not like the
smell of tobacco since he did not touch it except during social engagements.
Keegan stopped him and casually asked, "Do you have more?"
Aldor opened his cigarette pack and shook one out before handing it to him. The flame sparked by the
lighter was blown to the side by the sea breeze. Aldor used his hands to block them, and Keegan took
a puff of the cigarette. The tip of the cigarette flickered before finally lighting itself.
He blew out a mouthful of smoke while leaning by the car with Aldor and staring into the distance with
half-shut eyes.

He was talking about the vasectomy, and Keegan did not speak. Aldor assumed that he did not want to
answer and did not question any further. By the time he was halfway through his cigarette, only then
did Keegan reply, "The surgery was my choice. Not a ploy to morally blackmail her."
Keegan continued, "I want her to choose me just because she wants me. Not because of any other
reason."
Aldor was stunned, then he chuckled without speaking further. The divorce had not only left an
emotional scar on Stella, but it had also given Keegan PTSD. He clearly had ways to force Stella to
stay by his side, but he did not dare force her. He did not dare to use brute force.
Keegan's love may have come late, but he fell deep for it. On the other hand, it might not have even
come late, as it was related to his own experiences. He did not know how to express himself and was
afraid of disappointing people.
Aldor then said softly, "It would have been better if we didn't go to Cavalry City then."
Keegan paused, and he could feel a slight throbbing pain in his heart. He had thought about it more
than once. If Keegan could return to that time, he would not have left when he was in a rage. He would
have arranged everything properly and stayed by her side when she needed it the most...
However, all of this was pointless. What-ifs would not work on something that had already happened. If
what-ifs were useful, Keegan should not have accepted that call seven years ago. But, without that
phone call, how would he have met Stella? All of this was a chain of events arranged by God, so there
was no use complaining about it. Whether the debt or the love was to blame, it was his choice. The
only wrong was that Keegan was too arrogant and overestimated his control over this affair.
Keegan took another puff of smoke and asked, "How is Coco recently?"
The doctor says it's not that bad. She is already running around the sick ward and asking the nurse for
a phone every day. She insists on giving you a call and asking you when you will pick her up," Aldor
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpaused for a bit then said, "Mr. Kane, Coco is whose daughter?"
He had been working for Keegan for so many years. But, he only found out about the girl four years
ago when Keegan sought out Bella for blood donation. Coco did not live in Rivera. She usually lived in
Hampford, which was another city. Someone was caring for her, and she would only be sent to Rivera
whenever she needed blood transfusions. The frequency of the blood transfusions was approximately
once every three months. Apart from that, the number of times Keegan would go to Hampford was less
frequent.
The best quality of Aldor as a special assistant was that he would not ask things that did not need
questioning. If it was not because this incident affected Keegan and Stella's marriage, he would not
have asked for it.
Aldor contemplated and said, "Mr. Kane, if Coco is your daughter, I think it would be best for you to be
honest with the madam about this matter as soon as possible."
The corner of Keegan's eyelids twitched. "Am I that dark?"
Aldor was stunned for a moment. Only then did he understand that Keegan was saying that Coco was
dark-skinned. His underlying meaning was how could he possibly give birth to such a dark daughter.
Aldor was at a loss for words.
