Chapter 181
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
There were more than thirty sets of clothes stacked up on the sofa. She probably placed them at the side because she did not like them after trying them on.
Stella was always a more conservative person, and she would only wear dresses that had buttons all the way up to the collarbone.
However, she was not happy with all the dresses she tried.
She took off the dress she was wearing after spinning for a bit in front of the mirror.
Her waist looked very attractive. Keegan could see a small part of her skinny and fair waist when she removed that dress. Her legs were slender and long too. She had all the curves in the right places, like a goddess.
Keegan leaned against the railing of the stairs on the second floor. He sipped on his coffee while openly enjoying the beautiful view downstairs.
Then, Stella answered a call. It was probably Felicity.
âIâm trying on clothes for a jewelry exhibition tonight.â She spoke while fumbling through the pile of clothes before she continued irritably, âI have nothing to wear.â
Keegan was speechless.
âWhat about those thousands of pieces of garments in your wardrobe?â he thought to himself.
âOkay, sure. Weâll meet tomorrow, then.â
A white dress in that pile of clothes suddenly caught Stellaâs attention after she hung up.
Keegan thought that it looked familiar. The look only on his face darkened as soon as she put it on.
It was the exact same dress that Marshall had gifted to her at the charity event previously.
Keegan curled his lip subconsciously and went downstairs with the cup in his hand.
Stella was very fond of that dress. Even though the design was simple, its cutting fit her very well She looked at herself in the mirror for quite some time. After that, she turned around to pair it with her jewelry, but she bumped into Keegan. The cup of coffee in his hand was knocked over, and it dropped night on her dress.
âAh!â Stella shouted as she quickly grabbed a piece of tissue to wipe it off. However, it was already too late, and the coffee had already seeped into the dress. Suddenly, there was a huge coffee stain on the pure white dress It looked awful.
âWhy would you stand behind me without making a sound?â
Stella complamed as she tried to wipe the stain off She only wore it once, yet she had no idea if it could ever be clean again.
Keegan did not have any remorse âHow would I know that youâd suddenly turn around?â
Stella was very unhappy with his attitude. âYou saw me changing over here. Why would you stand behind me with a cup of coffee in your hand?â
Then, Keegan said, âThis is my house. Iâll stand wherever I want to.â
Stella was so shocked to hear what he said that she could only refute back after some time. â Why were you ever born into a human?â
âYou should become a dog instead!â Stella thought.
Keegan glowered at her as if he could understand what she was implying. âWhat did you say?â
Stella suppressed her anger and kept quiet.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Keegan stood there like a statue, leaving Stella no choice but to answer the door with a stained dress.
She thought that it was Vermont, but she saw Cordelia standing in front of her after she opened the door.
âGrandma? What brings you here?â
Stella immediately brought Cordelia into the house.
Cordelia walked inside and said, âI came to visit Keegan because his mom said that he took. some days off because he wasnât feeling well.â
Then, she saw Keegan standing in the living room without a scratch while holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
Cordelia paused for a moment before she asked, âWhich part of you isnât feeling well?â
Stella was about to speak, but Keegan beat her to it. âMy stomach. Like the usual.â
So, Stella kept quiet.
