StarNovel
Chapter 225
Stella felt both anger and amusement as she looked at Keegan. He was like the stray cat that used to
hang around her childhood home. She had fed it for almost six months, but one day she accidentally
kicked it in the head while she was opening the door. After that, the cat would never let her touch it.
Every time she tried to pet it, the cat would move its head to avoid her, just like Keegan was doing now.
Although she could not catch the stray cat, Stella knew how to deal with Keegan. She stared at him for a
few seconds, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed to straddle him. She reached for his shirt,
which surprised Keegan and caused him to struggle as soon as he regained his senses.
Normally, Stella might not be able to hold him down. But, now that he was burning with a fever, he was
as weak as a sick cat. It did not take long for Stella to unbutton his shirt, revealing his bare chest.
“Stella, do you have no shame?!” Keegan shouted.
Perhaps it was because of Keegan’s anger or his fever that his entire face was flushed. Even his neck
had a faint pinkish hue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella, who was straddling him, suddenly felt a sense of control over the man. “To be honest, this is quite
enjoyable.”
Stella placed the thermometer under Keegan’s armpit before she covered him with a blanket. In a tone
that imitated how CEOs flirt with their young wives in web s, she said to Keegan, “Is there any part
of your body that I haven’t seen? We’ve been married for so long, so why do I need to have shame?”
Keegan coughed angrily.
Stella comforted him by stroking his chest. “I don’t mind you baring your chest in front of me. But, you’re
the one acting it like it’s a big deal.”
Keegan was very furious and was about to scold the unruly woman. However, before he could say
anything, she took advantage of the situation and shoved the pill inside his open mouth. The pill slid
down his throat right after she pinched his chin and lifted it up.
Keegan was already feeling unwell, and he was about to get angry at her antics. However, before he
could say anything, he met Stella’s smiling eyes.
“How is it? It’s not bitter, right?”
For some reason, he suddenly could not bring himself to get angry.
Keegan grumbled, “Try shoving one directly inside your throat and see how you would feel.” “This is how
you should take a pill. Otherwise, it’d taste bitter on your tongue. If you hadn’t broken the glass, I
wouldn’t have to feed you the pill like this.” Stella retorted.
With that, she climbed down from the bed and rummaged through the cabinet to find a pack of dried fruit.
“Try one of these. It’ll make you feel better. They’re sweet and sour. They’re really tasty,” she said as she
held a piece of dried fruit out to Keegan’s mouth.
Keegan was about to decline, but before he could say anything, Stella used the same trick and
stuffed that piece of dried fruit into his mouth.
Just as Stella promised, it was sweet and sour.
Supposedly, when someone had a fever, they would not be able to taste anything since their taste buds
were affected. But, the sour and sweet taste suddenly spread inside Keegan’s mouth like colors being
added to a black and white painting. It instantly made his mood a little brighter.
After Keegan had swallowed the medicine, he remembered something. “Did hands?”

Keegan instantly knew that she did not wash her hands. He scowled and wanted to spit out that piece of
dried fruit, but Stella quickly covered his mouth. “My hands are not dirty. Don’t spit it out.”
Keegan was gasping for air under her hold. Then, he finally swallowed the piece of dried fruit whole. He
did not have the strength to push her away, so he grabbed her wrist to signal her to

Stella asked, “Have you swallowed it?”
Keegan shot her a glare. But, after a while, he finally blinked.
Stella then released her hold. But, in the next second, with a burst of strength, Keegan grabbed her waist
tightly and forcefully turned over, pressing her underneath him.
He gripped her neck, and through his gritted teeth while panting, he said, “Mess with me again, and I’ll
skin you alive!”
