Keegan paused for a moment before muttering, “I’ll talk to them.”
As he reached for the cup of milk, Stella swiftly picked it up and downed its contents before he could touch it.
Her action puzzled Keegan.
After finishing, Stella looked at him and said, “Lorraine prepared this for me. Do you want some?”
Keegan stared at her without saying a word.
Stella smirked and said, Beg me, and I’ll pour some for you.”
Keegan withdrew his gaze and stated, “You can leave if you’re done talking.
Don’t disturb my work.”
“Hmph!” Stella pouted, took the cup, and walked out of the room.
Not long after she left, Maria and Lorraine entered Keegan’s study, respectively.
Maria’s eyes were red when she emerged.
Stella assumed Keegan must have spoken harshly due to his memory loss. She wanted to go in and talk to him about it but opted not to. She realized she did not know what he had told Maria, and meddling with how he does things might only make things worse.
After Lorraine came out, Stella asked her to prepare a cup of milk for Keegan and went upstairs to tend to her flowers.
Keegan stared at the milk before him, took out his phone, and sent a picture to Vermont out of habit.
