Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Keegan had never called Stella “Honey” let alone held her hand after his return.

When he did so, Stella’s heart pounded with a mix of emotions. ‘It seems like he remembers me. But, why is he pretending like he doesn’t?’ Her mind was in turmoil.

Keegan would not pretend not to remember her for no reason. There must be a reason behind his actions, but Stella could not discern what it might be.

She realized if they stayed any longer, Keegan would undoubtedly reveal more than he intended in his intoxicated state.

So, Stella claimed to feel a bit unwell and informed Wenham that she wanted to leave.

Thinking that it was due to the discomfort caused by her pregnancy, Wenham expressed his concern. “You should rest upstairs for a while if you’re not feeling well.”

Stella shook her head. “That’s okay, dad. I just had too much to eat. Plus, Keegan’s grandma called and urged us to go over there, so I can’t stay.”

Before Wenham could respond, Marshall said, “How about we leave together?

My colleague is currently in the vicinity attending a meeting. He hasn’t been drinking. I asked him to pick me up once he’s done. We can drive you two home first.

Stella had not responded, but she could sense Keegan’s grip tightening.
