Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

The bottle was adorned with a circle of dots and dashes.

Stella wondered where he had found such an ugly bottle.

She drank the water, tossed the bottle away, and after her temper had cooled a bit, she bid farewell to the kids and headed home.

Upon her return, she noticed Keegan sitting upright on the sofa but didn't acknowledge him.

She went straight for a shower and then to bed.

In the dead of night, someone suddenly reached out and touched her waist.

Stella jumped, raised her hand, and slapped out.

Her hand landed on Keegan's head, prompting him to cry out in pain, "What are you doing!" Stella shouted even louder, "That's what I should be asking you! What are you doing? Acting like a hooligan in the middle of the night?" Keegan's expression shifted unpredictably.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you drink that bottle of water?" Stella was taken aback.

"Did you drug me?" So he came in the middle of the night to be her antidote? Keegan's expression turned strange.

After a moment, he grabbed the quilt and stormed out with a grim face.

He spent that night in the study.
