Chapter 172

Unable to persuade further, Keegan refrained from speaking more.

Keegan could smell alcohol as Stella approached. Surprised, he asked, “Did you drink?”

“No,” said Stella, her face flushing red with alcohol. After denying it, she realized that the smell of beer couldn’t be hidden, and lying would only worsen it. She corrected herself, “Not a lot. Just a little.”

It was indeed just as little as half a bottle of red wine. With Stella’s alcohol tolerance, half a bottle is not enough to make her drunk.

Keegan stared at her for a few seconds, threw a towel at her, and said indifferently, “Wash yourself.”

This was the first in Stella’s life that she had to bathe someone.

Though they did mess around in the shower before, it was when she was trying to flirt with him by using the excuse of rubbing his back.

Not even able to finish rubbing his back, she ended up giving up. In the end, he had to wash her up and carry her back home.

In the past, Keegan rarely refused her advances. No matter how much he did not fancy her, they would still be intimate in bed once she started flirting.

Since last year though, he seemed to avoid being intimate with her.
