Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1951

It seems like I overlooked this aspect,' Stella thought. 'I guess I can't rub salt in the wound for now.' Then, another concern came to mind. "Would your mom be released without charges if they found out that I'm not really injured?"

Without looking at her, Keegan calmly replied, "Well, the hotel staff accidentally injured themselves while cleaning up the oil."

Stella was taken aback. 'The cleaning staff injured themselves?"

"Yeah." Keegan glanced at her and continued, "Should I take you to the surveillance room and show you?"

Stella shrugged. "No. It was just a casual question."

Keegan observed the talisman she held tightly and felt a little irritated. "You're getting water on my neck," he said.

Upon hearing this, Stella immediately wanted to switch hands, but Keegan continued, "Are you trying to get my other side wet too?"

Stella did not reply.

"Put it in my pocket," Keegan said with indifference.

"But, won't that make your pocket wet?"

"It's fine. My clothes are thick," Keegan responded.

He spoke nonchalantly as if it was a minor inconvenience.

He has already made his point clear earlier. So, he shouldn't be jealous anymore, right?' Stella considered for a moment and followed his instructions, placing the talisman in his pocket. Keegan told the driver to go, as they got into the car.

"Are you going to pick up your sister?" Stella asked.

Keegan replied, "Aldor is doing that."

"Why not have Aldor pick us up? Why specifically call another driver?"

"It's just more convenient this way," Keegan explained.

"What do you mean? Aldor picked us up before."

Keegan glanced at her and said, "Aldor probably wouldn't enjoy having his boss around when he's on a date."

Stella was stunned. She opened her mouth in disbelief and only after a while did she say, "He's your employee. When you went missing, he faced pressure, rallied the team, and helped you maintain the team's spirit. How can you repay him by having him go on a date with your sister?"

"Should I call and ask him to come back?" asked Keegan.

"Well, there's no need to be so direct."

Stella had more to say, but Keegan suddenly asked, "Did you go to the wishing well with him?"

What an abrupt change of topic,' thought Stella.

Keegan had regained his memory, and given her understanding of him, he must have thoroughly investigated what happened during that period. But, the specific details were probably not as clear to him as they were to her.

It must have been difficult for him to hold back for so long, and he finally found a suitable opportunity to ask.

"Sort of. We stayed on the hill for a few nights." She deliberately kept it vague.

Keegan was not very happy to hear that. "Aren't you being a bit too oblivious?"

'Doesn't she see how Marshall looks at her?' he thought.

"I didn't know you would come back. Plus, you told me that if you were to die before me, and the days of missing you became too painful, I should replace someone to be with and love him well. You gave me your blessing."

Keegan felt upset.

'Since when did I say that? I recall telling her that she could replace someone else, but she mustn't love him more than me. I can't believe she would take advantage of my amnesia and deceive me like this. Has she been wanting to break up with me? Does she not want me anymore?'
