Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1595

Stella soon realized that she had avoided a close call with death just a moment ago. She got goosebumps and broke out in cold sweat. Marshall held her hand, his tone unusually tense, "Are you okay? Did the car hit you? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you hurt?"

Stella pressed her lips together and suddenly withdrew her hand from his palm.

Marshall was momentarily taken aback.

Stella lowered her head and pretended to adjust her clothes. "I'm fine," she said.

She then looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you."

Her gaze suddenly grew distant, and Marshall watched her in a daze. He could read her emotions without the need for words. She was rejecting his affection.

Marshall lowered his eyes, feeling a pang in his heart. "I'm glad you're fine," he whispered.

Stella clutched her phone. She wanted to say something but did not know how to begin.

Stella always thought that Keegan was overthinking when he got jealous of Marshall. But the urgency and relief in

Marshall's eyes made things apparent to her; he did not just see her as a friend.

Stella could not help but reflect on whether she had done something to make

Marshall misinterpret their connection and have feelings for her, Does he like me because I saved him from his client's abusive husband?'

'That can't be it. Marshall is a mature and rational man. How could he develop feelings for someone just because they saved his life, especially when I'm his best friend's ex cum current partner?'

Marshall was exceptionally good at keeping his emotions in check. If it were not for the sudden turn of events earlier, Stella would not have noticed it at all.

However, since he had not confessed his feelings, she naturally could not say anything to reject him.

Stella pondered the situation and decided to change the topic. "I heard from Mr.Snyder that you've been going on blind dates recently. How's it going? Have you found anyone you like?" she asked with a smile. Marshall sighed, "The dates were fine, but I haven't found anyone compatible yet."

"How do you know they're not the right fit if you haven't spent much time together? Love at first sight is rare. Familiarity breeds fondness, you know?"

"Then what about you and Keegan?"

"Well... He fell in love with me at first sight, relentlessly pursued me, and insisted on marrying me while I grew fond of him over time," she bluffed. "Did he fall for you during your blind date?"

"He fell for me even earlier than that." Stella seemed to have endless things to say whenever she talked about Keegan." I've told you before, right? Seven years ago, I had a car accident with my mom. Keegan pulled me out of the car, and that's when he fell in love with me at first sight."

Marshall paused, his lips lightly pressing together, "Really?" He chuckled.,

"Keegan is such a mutt. Weren't you just eighteen or nineteen at the time?"

Stella was stunned to hear that. She forced a laugh, not knowing how to carry on the conversation. She changed the subject once again, "Mr. Moore, if you don't like the girls your family introduces you to, I can introduce you to my friends."

"Are you planning to get Ms. Thompson away from Vermont and introduce her to me?" Marshall joked.

Stella felt a bit more at ease after hearing that. "I'm afraid I can't do that; Felicity is my best friend. But I do have other friends. Don't forget that I graduated from a drama academy. I have tons of gorgeous friends. I'll definitely replace someone who matches your appearance and has a great personality."

Marshall chuckled softly, "Alright. I'll be asking for your help if I still haven't found anyone in a year or so."

Stella patted her chest and assured him, "You can count on me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a vehicle honking from behind.

Stella turned around and saw Keegan's car parked not far away, its lights blinking on and off. Aldor got out of the driver's seat, greeted Marshall politely, and opened the door for Stella.
