Chapter 1778
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Stella pondered, âWho could Trevor be referring to?â Although she had a vague idea of the person Trevor hinted at, as he hadnât specified, she refrained from probing further.
After discussing work matters, Trevor glanced at her belly and inquired with a smile, âHave you chosen a name for the baby?â
Returning the smile, Stella replied, âNot yet. Any suggestions?â âLet me think. It should be something meaningful.â An idea struck Trevor.â Youâre fond of mangoes, right? Letâs nickname the baby âLittle Mango.'â
Stella was left speechless.
âHmm. So much of a meaningful one.â âAs for the full name, Iâll debate it with Keegan once he regains his memory. Though I might have a slight edge in the debate,â Trevor joked.
Stella laughed. âIf he hears this, heâll want to challenge you as soon as he remembers everything.â
Trevor laughed too. âIâll be waiting.â After helping Stella pack, Trevor left her room. Walking with Stella to the door, they encountered Jaylene.
Standing by her own door, Jaylene gazed in Stellaâs direction but seemed focused on Trevor. When Trevor turned to her, she greeted him with a smile,âHello, Trevor.â
However, Trevorâs smile faded, and he responded to Jaylene with a detached greeting before heading back inside his room.
Jayleneâs expression shifted to sadness. When she glanced at Stella, her demeanor turned distant and cold. Without saying a word, she retreated into her room and closed the door.
Stella noticed the change in Trevorâs attitude toward Jaylene. His glance didnât seem as affectionate or protective as before, prompting her to ponder the situation.
â Jaylene has lived with Trevor for twenty years, yet she doesnât understand him at all,â Stella pondered silently.
Had it not been for Jaylene overstepping boundaries, Trevor might have been an affectionate and caring brother, but Stella had become that limit.
The following morning, Stella resumed packing immediately after waking up.
Upon descending the stairs, she encountered Jaylene. She wore the same dress Stella had selected for her the day before. With her long hair fashioned into a neat low ponytail secured by a hairpin, and a touch of makeup enhancing her features, Jaylene exuded elegance as she greeted Stella and swiftly departed.
Having a light breakfast, Stella returned upstairs. Subsequently, she messaged Felicity on WhatsApp, [Hey, what are you up to?] Felicity: [Sharpening my knife.] Stella: [What? Are you cooking?] Felicity:
[Iâm going to slice a cucumber.] Stella was left momentarily speechless.
When she was about to reply, she received a message from Keegan, saying: [Iâll come later. Something came up.] Since Stella wasnât in a rush, she replied simply with an âOkayâ.
She resumed chatting with Felicity, but during their conversation, Felicity inquired: [Stella, did Keegan come to pick you up?] Stella replied: [He mentioned something came up; heâll come later.] Felicity prodded further: [Did you ask him what happened?] Stella was caught off guard. She responded: [What are you implying?] After a moment, Felicity sent Stella a picture.
Felicity wrote: [I saw this on stinky Cucumberâs account.] Stella opened the image, and her expression immediately turned grim.
