Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1864

The dining table was filled with lavish dishes, especially since Cordelia had planned to invite Sylvia over, the preparations were even more sumptuous.

The five of them sat together at the table with about thirty different dishes served.

It was Sylvia's first time having dinner with Aldor's boss, and she was very reserved.

She was afraid to speak and even move, fearing that she might bring trouble to her son.

Aldor gave Sylvia a set of utensils and said in a low voice, "Mom, relax yourself.

Mrs. Kane Sr.is a very easy-going person." Sylvia nodded but only ate the few dishes placed right in front of her.

Cordelia saw it and asked with a smile, "Sylvia, among all the dishes, do you only like the ones in front of you?" Sylvia was taken aback, and she shook her head.

"N-No.

They're all delicious." "Have some of them then," Cordelia said warmly before turning to Aldor, "Aldor, please help your mother with it.

We must eat well and be happy on this joyous day." Aldor nodded and placed some of Sylvia's favorite dishes on her plate.

Aurora sat across them.

She sipped her soup while curiously staring at them.

Aldor had never mentioned anything about his family before, so she had always thought that he was an orphan.

'But his mother looks so old, at least ten years older than my mom.

'I wonder how old she was when she got pregnant.' Aurora thought to herself.

She glanced at Keegan, intending to ask how old Sylvia was.

However, Keegan was so focused on eating and did not even spare her a glance.

Aurora pouted and took the initiative to chat with Sylvia.

"Mrs.Hart, is Aldor your only child?" Sylvia nodded and remembered how Baldwin and Corrin had addressed her earlier, and added, "Yes, Ms.

Kane." Aurora almost choked on her soup.

She coughed for a long time and her face turned red.

Then, she said, "Just call me by my name, Aurora." Sylvia had a slight accent and the way she called Aurora sounded funny.

"Sure, Aurora," Sylvia said.

Aurora continued to ask, "You came to Rivera to have dinner with Aldor, but what about his dad?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the atmosphere turning somewhat weird. Keegan frowned and said, "Can't you just eat and stop asking so many questions?" Aurora was bewildered.

Then, she heard Sylvia saying, "When Aldor was still in high school, his father passed away." Aurora finally understood why Keegan got angry, and immediately felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry..." "It's fine." Sylvia was rathe optimistic about it.

"You didn't know.

Aldor would only share the happy things about him.

Also, I know that he doesn't talk much about his personal matters." Aurora, still curious, asked, "Mrs.

Hart, were you close to forty when you had Aldor?" Sylvia was taken aback.

"I-I was twenty-three." Aurora was shocked.

"Are you only fifty years old? I thought you were in your sixties." Sylvia suddenly felt awkward and even more uneasy, 'P-Perhaps I just look old." Keegan frowned, about to speak, but Cordelia kicked him under the table, silencing him.

Handing Sylvia a cup of hot tea, Aldor explained, 'My mom used to work night shifts at a chemical factory, which paid double the day shift's salary.

After my dad passed away, she took these shifts every two weeks to support my education.

All that hard work over the years, it's no wonder she doesn't look as youthful as your mother, who's had a worry-free life."
