Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2063

Keegan was uninterested in Jaylene's post. He texted Stella: [Have you been keeping that wedding photo on your phone all this time?] 'That's not the main point here,' Stella thought. Despite that, he pressed on: [Didn't you say you deleted all the photos when we divorced? Were you lying to me?] Stella did not know how to respond.

Keegan speculated further: [Were you lying too when you claimed you didn't like me back then? Stella, did you... have feelings for me when we got married?] Stella replied: [No? I married you to avoid being forced into marrying an old man. I had plenty of suitors back then, you know. Just look at Spencer; that should give you an idea of the type of men pursuing me. With so many high quality men after me, why would I like you?] Keegan continued to type out a message: [Stella, you married me because you had feelings for me, right?] [No, it was because I was interested in your money.] As soon as the message was sent, Keegan called. Stella remembered the listening device in the room and did not dare to answer, so she hung up immediately.

But he called back almost immediately, leaving Stella with no choice but to answer.

She lowered her voice and asked, "What's up?"

"Stella," Keegan softly called her name.

"I'm listening," Stella said.

Keegan kept calling her name, 'Stella, Stella..."

His voice became increasingly clingy, making Stella's ears turn red. "What do you want to say?" she asked.

Keegan did not speak but chuckled lightly. It sounded oddly satisfying. "It had always been me, right?"

Stella held her phone tightly. Keegan's laughter pierced her heart, making her feel embarrassed and tingly.

She was about to say no but eventually said, "Mm-hmm."

Keegan smiled and did not say a word. Stella remained silent, too. Only the sound of their breathing came through the line, echoing in her ears.

Stella flipped through the pages of the book at hand and cleared her throat softly. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Okay. See you after work," said Keegan.

Stella put down her phone, gently rubbed her face, and smiled again. She opened Facebook and reposted a question from a netizen, which read: [ What kind of love do you think is the best, Stella?] She replied: [Mutual love.] Jaylene finished arranging the bouquet and personally brought it to Stella, offering her a few stems. Stella looked at the roses and said indifferently, "I don't like roses, Jaylene. You can put them in Darcie's office if you don't have anywhere else to put them."

"I've already put a few in my mom's office. These are specifically for you," said Jaylene.

While fiddling with rose petals, Stella suddenly remarked, "Jaylene, roses belong to the Rosaceae family, right? Isn't Darcie allergic to roses?"
