Chapter 1792
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
With the thought of Darcie caring for her late mother, Wenhamâs expression softened. âIâve bought two tickets for the theater. Are you free tomorrow afternoon?â
Darcie couldnât help but feel surprised. Throughout their lengthy marriage, it had consistently been her responsibility to arrange their outings. Wenham rarely took the initiative, and when he did, it was usually in response to invitations from friends.
Her raised eyebrows turned into a warm smile as she asked, âSure. What time is the show?â
âThree oâclock. Iâll pick you up tomorrow,â Wenham replied.
Darcie nodded in agreement. As Wenham ate his soup, he addressed the unspoken tension between them. âIâve raised Jaylene for twenty years, treating her as my own. Being separated from Stella for over two decades and only recently reconnecting, I might sometimes be a bit biased. Please donât read too much into it.â
With a calm tone, Darcie responded, âI understand. You donât need to explain. I know I was in the wrong before. Itâs only natural that youâre upset. Trevor was only ten years old when I came into the picture. Kids are easy to get along with; you can tell what they like and dislike with a glance. Stella returned when she was already an adult, and young adults often conceal their feelings. I just donât know how to relate to her. Also, she harbors resentment with what happened between Jaylene and Keegan. Iâm afraid that saying too much might annoy her.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Wenham fell silent for a moment before saying, âStella is not an unreasonable child. Treat her with kindness, and sheâll reciprocate even more. She understands the value of gratitude and is swift to disapprove of injustice, much like Freesia.â 1 Darcie clutched her fingers, lowered her eyes, and said, âI understand.â
Then, she brought up the matter of Stella living in Royalpark Villa. Darcie thought it was inappropriate for them to live together without being married. Nevertheless, it was common knowledge that Keegan had no recollection of Stella, making marriage an impractical prospect.
âKeegan is indebted to Stella for life. Sheâs there to assist him in recovering his memories. Mrs. Kane Sr. had explained it to me. Since Stella is willing, we should go along with it,â said Wenham.
Darcie thought about it and said, âAlright.â
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed as valuable decorations on the table, worth tens of thousands, were thrown to the ground. When Darcie pushed the door open, she witnessed the scene.
Jaylene had swept everything off her table with reddened eyes. Her face twisted in an ugly expression.
Closing the door behind her, Darcie asked in disdain, âWhy are you acting like this?â
Jaylene clenched her fists, lowered her gaze, and said,â Mom.â
Darcie calmly picked up the scattered items and placed them back on the coffee table. âTheyâre just living together. Is it worth losing your temper over?â
âKeegan is spending less and less time with me. Iâm afraid he might regain his memories,â Jaylene said in a hoarse voice. 1 Darcie looked at her disappointedly. âHe has always liked Stella. Even if he doesnât remember now, itâs just a matter of time before he does. Given Keeganâs temperament, do you think he would like you?
Would he truly marry you?â
Jaylene bit her lip upon hearing that. She disagreed with Darcieâs words.
Since Keegan woke up, he strongly depended on her, even rebuking Stella to protect her. She believed that there was a possibility between them.
To her, Stella was just good-looking. Meanwhile, she had over twenty years of knowledge, education, and vision.
Jaylene considered herself superior in every aspect. She did not believe Keegan would be attracted to Stella if he did not remember her.
