Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1869

The room was filled with an air of tension.

Thankfully, Cordelia eased the atmosphere, agreeing with Sylvia's views on work-life balance. "You're right. Work is important, but it's not everything. What's the point of earning so much if we can't enjoy life?" Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. "Exactly."

Then, Cordelia shifted the conversation toward Aurora." Sylvia, what do you think about my granddaughter?"

Sylvia, with genuine admiration, replied, "Ms. Kane is absolutely stunning, like someone out of a TV show. And her personality is just as impressive. She's very respectful and obedient toward you." Cordelia, with a hint of mischief, asked, "And what about the idea of her and Aldor together?"

Sylvia was taken aback. "A-Aldor?"

Cordelia clarified, "Yes, Aldor."

The idea of her son and the wealthy heiress becoming a couple initially overwhelmed Sylvia. It took her a moment to process.

Cordelia did not just invite her over for a chat, but to discuss a potential match between Aurora and her son.

Sylvia cautiously responded, "Marriage should be left to the young ones. I want Aldor to be happy. If he and Aurora genuinely care for each other, I'm all for it.

But if not, I don't believe in forcing things."

Sylvia braced herself, expecting Cordelia's displeasure.

Tve just rejected a proposal from such a prestigious family. What have I done?' she worried.

To her surprise, Cordelia appeared to agree, "You have a point. But sometimes, feelings develop over time. In our days, many marriages were decided quickly and still lasted." "Times were indeed simpler," Sylvia added, hoping she hadn't spoken out of turn.

She began to relax as Aldor walked in.

"What are you two talking about?" he inquired.

As Sylvia sighed in relief, Cordelia, with a twinkle in her eye, dropped a bombshell, "We're discussing your marriage with Aurora. Your mom seems to like the idea." Sylvia was shocked again.

Aldor, with a light chuckle, responded, "Even if I were open to the idea, I doubt Ms. Kane would be."

Cordelia seemed intrigued by his response.

At that moment, Aurora walked in and overheard their conversation.

Her eyes twitched. 'So, he wanted me to be the one to reject the idea. He's shifting the blame onto me!' she thought.

Cordelia then asked Aurora directly, "Do you fancy Aldor?"

Caught in a bind, Aurora couldn't simply reject the idea, not with Aldor putting her in this spot.

She glanced at Aldor and said nonchalantly, "He's not bad."

Aldor was visibly confused by her response.

Cordelia, delighted, said, "See, Sylvia? There might be something there." Aldor and Aurora exchanged a speechless glance.

It was clear Cordelia had misinterpreted their feelings.

Cordelia, having observed Aldor for a while and now believing in a mutual interest, was ready to take matters into her own hands and advance their relationship.
