Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Jaylene figured Keegan must still be grappling with what went down at Cotton Rose Restaurant earlier, uncertain how to face her.

And after she got hurt by his aunt later, he must be feeling particularly guilty, hence his careful consideration of his replies.

Glancing at the message box, Keegan asked, "What did you reply?" With irritation, Stella responded, "Nothing seems to satisfy you.

How am I supposed to know what to say? I'm clueless." Before the words could settle, Jaylene's message popped up.

I don't blame you." Stella and Keegan exchanged looks, both falling silent.

The other party had maneuvered themselves successfully; there was no need for further debate.

Stella replied, "How's your health? I'm sorry about the Crosby family matter." Jaylene became more certain that Keegan's lack of recent contact was due to this, and quickly replied, "I'm okay, Keegan.
