NovelOnlineChapter 2202 Cordelia might have held traditional beliefs, thinking that having more children brought more blessings, instilled a sense of responsibility, and stabilized marital relationships. Perhaps she was worried that her own body couldn't withstand many more years, and since Dahlia was unreliable, choosing to conceive a child earlier could put an end to her unpredictable behavior.
Whatever the reason, it left Keegan feeling somewhat resentful.
Fortunately, because he and Stella didn't share a room frequently before, it took a while for her to conceive.
Stella's body was also in good shape, and the fetus developed healthily. If she had conceived earlier but couldn't carry it to term, he feared he would hurt her again.
Keegan sighed and said softly, "Stella, I'm sorry." Stella understood he was speaking on behalf of Cordelia.

She gently patted the back of his hand without saying a word.
Now that the child was conceived, there was no point in questioning Cordelia's motives anymore.
Stella then remembered the main issue. "Your mom, your uncle, and aunt were taken away by the police." Keegan simply responded with a soft "Hmm" and added, "I saw." Stella hesitated.
Keegan looked up at her and said gently, "Do what you think is right, don't worry about me. | will always believe in you." Stella remained silent for a while and said only one thing, "If she doesn't take action, | won't either." This was her giving Dahlia one last chance on Keegan'spghalf. Whether it would be a quiet retreat or a complete downfall, it depended entirely on Dahlia's choice.
Keegan said, "Okay." An hour later, Jaylene was no longer in critical condition, but Trevor didn't message Stella until the next morning.
When Stella was nearly at the hospital, she called Trevor back.
Trevor still had stemper, waiting until the last second before answering the call, and his tone was unusually cold. "Hello." Stella cautiously said, "Trevor, are you still upset with me?" Trevor chuckled, "Upset? Why would | be? They're the ones picking on you.
You're not upset, so why should | be? I'm not upset; I'm quite happy, hahaha.
"Trevor, I'm sorry, | was wrong. | shouldn't have lied last night, or used the child to deceive you, making you worry. You stood up for me, and | ignored it. Why am | such a terrible person?" Trevor said, "Don't play the emotional card with me. | dislike that the most." Stella shook her head. "I'm not. I'm just speaking from the heart. I've never had anyone care foras much as you do, standing up foragainst others. If I didn't appreciate it, that would be one thing, but I also hurt you. | don't deserve to have the best brother in the world..." Trevor was quiet for a moment.
"Do you still want to cut ties with me?" Stella was speechless.
Keegan fell for this, but it didn't work on Trevor.

She emphasized again, "I don't deserve to have the very best brother in the world "
Trevor snorted, "I'm not Keegan. | don't buy into flattery." Stella was dejected. "You can be mad for a while more, but can you eat first?"
As she spoke, she appeared behind Trevor" Trevor, "Trevor, | brought you pancakes from your favorite place".
Trevor's smile vanished immediately, completely unaware of how much of his expression Stella had just seen.
He ddughed and glared at her, "You didn’ Il ing!" idn't even tellyou were coming!
