Chapter 1786
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Ignoring Stella, Keegan strode past the wedding photos and placed her luggage on the table. The housekeeper, Maria, who had been upstairs tidying, came down upon hearing the commotion. She greeted them with a smile, âSir, Madam, welcome back.â
Keegan nodded briefly and indicated the items on the table,â Maria, could you assist Ms. Hall in getting her luggage to the guest room?â
Maria looked surprised, âGuest room?â
Keegan affirmed, âMs. Hall is here to help me recover my memory. Sheâll be staying here for a while.
Please help her settle in.â
Maria was aware of Keeganâs amnesia but didnât expect it to be this severe, with him not recognizing Stella.
Recalling Cordeliaâs instructions, Maria hesitated, âSir, the guest rooms are currently unavailable.â
Keegan was taken aback. âNone of the guest rooms are usable?â
Maria explained, âThatâs correct.â
Keegan felt skeptical and decided to open each door, one by one. To his surprise, except for the master bedroom, none of the other rooms had beds.
Maria stood there, wearing an awkward smile.
It seemed Cordelia had ordered the beds in the other rooms to be dismantled overnight, perhaps intending to confine the two of them to one bed.
Keegan pursed his lips, casting a glance at Stella.
Raising an eyebrow, Stella remarked, âYou donât think I asked Grandma to do this, do you?â
Keegan remained silent.
Stella chuckled, âWhat can I do to you? Can you even get the task done if youâre unwilling to be with me?âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Keegan was stunned by her words. His ears turned red, a mix of embarrassment and irritation flashing across his face. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? I did it for the sake of your reputation!â
âWhat reputation do I have left if youâre divorcing me?â Stella shot back, tossing her luggage into a room. She then retrieved her phone and dialed a number. âHello, Iâd like to order a bed. Yes, right now. Iâll send you the address.â
After ending the call, Stella turned to Keegan and remarked,â Alternatively, you could disassemble the cabinet in this room. Iâll arrange to have a whole set of furniture delivered.â
Keegan left the room, rubbing his temples in exasperation.
Aldor had previously mentioned Stella had a good temper, but Keegan couldnât see that side of her. He felt he had no option but to endure it. He had a sense that he had brought this situation upon himself.
And indeed, that was the case.
Keegan didnât stay much longer after that. Instead, he headed to Vinci Rivera.
It was his first visit to the company since his return, and there were numerous miscellaneous matters to address, keeping him occupied until after 7:00 p.m.
The people on his team were thinking of a gathering to welcome Keegan back and lift his spirits.
Keegan agreed to the gathering, and while he was preparing, he came across a hand-drawn picture in a drawer of his office desk.
The drawing depicted a woman in a gown, holding a dog.
Suddenly, he remembered the large wedding photo at Royalpark Villa.
In that photo, Stella was wearing a red gown, standing next to him. Her pose and demeanor in the photo were an exact match to the hand-drawn portrait, except in the drawing, she was holding a dog in his place, with a leash.
Keegan glanced at the signature below the drawing-Stella Jewell.
Beneath the signature was a date from April of the previous year.
