Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2029

Keegan remained silent before asking, "Do you think I did it on purpose?"

Stella sighed and said, "I was thinking of returning the talisman to Marshall if you minded. But now it seems like you don't really-"

"Okay, I did it on purpose!" Keegan immediately interjected, his face darkening.

'How dare he give you a talisman in front of me?! He and Spencer are the same. They're both no good!"

Marshall gave Stella gifts in front of Keegan while Spencer poured his heart out in his presence. They had no shame.

Stella chuckled. "Actually, I had no intention of accepting it at first. But you were so careless, dropping the talisman into the water. It would be embarrassing for you if I rejected him." Keegan was taken aback. "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"You didn't give me a chance to say anything. You just recklessly dropped the talisman into the water. It wouldn't have been appropriate for me to refuse at that moment."

'Does that mean I created an opportunity for her to accept the gift?' thought Keegan, feeling frustrated.

"What about the necklace he gave you before? I wasn't there. Why did you accept it? You even put it on! It looks like a dog chain. He has no eye for fashion."

Annoyed, Stella said, "It is indeed a dog chain. There's a very cool picture of him inside. Are you interested in seeing it?"

Upon hearing that, Keegan felt a knot in his heart. "While I wasn't around, you started raising a dog with Marshall? Is Pinchie not enough for you?"

Stella opened a drawer, took out the necklace, and said, "Pinchie is great, but I didn't take care of it. I prefer the ones I raise myself. They snarl at others but are affectionate only to me." Keegan sneered, "I've only been away for a month, and you expect to have already raised a fully trained dog? I bet he's just freeloading on meals. It doesn't seem reliable."

Stella looked up and said, "Who said I only raised him for a month? I've been taking care of him for several years."

"Hah. You should at least come up with a more reasonable lie. We've been married for four years. How would I not know if you have a dog?"

"See for yourself if you don't believe me." Stella tossed the necklace to Keegan, pretending to be angry.

He felt a bit at a loss as he held the necklace. His lips moved, and he said softly, "I never said I don't believe you. I'm just upset. How come Marshall knows about your dog but not me?" "Who said you don't know?" Stella glanced at him.

Keegan froze. "I do?"

'Why do I have no recollection of this?' he thought.

"Yeah. See for yourself," said Stella.

Keegan thought Stella was trying to deceive him, 'With my excellent memory, I couldn't have forgotten. Is it Pinchie? I haven't even seen it before.1 Thinking this, he pressed the button to open the locket, revealing the photo inside. When he saw the picture clearly, his expression changed immediately.

It was not a photo of a dog in the locket; it was a picture of Keegan at the age of twenty.

Stella leaned over and asked, "What do you think? Isn't he handsome?"

A smile crept onto Keegan's face, but he tried to suppress it. He extended his arms and pulled Stella in. With his eyes narrowed and a dangerous expression on his face, he said, "Who are you calling a dog?" Stella chuckled. "I never said it was a picture of a dog, Mr. Kane. You're the one who thought it was a dog all along."

Keegan was stunned for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "You were clearly leading me on!"

"Whatever do you mean? Clearly, your comprehension skills could be better.

Besides, I place it by the bedside every day. Why haven't you opened it and took a look?"

Keegan felt annoyed. "How would I have known that Marshall would put my picture in there? Be glad that I didn't flush it down the toilet."
