Chapter 1911
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Keegan bit his lip and forced out a harsh sentence while digging his fingernails into his palms.
âYou must be crazy to say such outrageous things. Why would she bother saving me if she wanted to harm me?â
Stella put on a disappointed look. âYou trust her but not me?â
Keeganâs voice was cold. âI only trust what I see.â
Tears welled up in Stellaâs eyes, as she gritted her teeth and said, âKeegan Kane, I really wish you hadnât come back!â
Keegan felt a pang in his chest, as his fingertips trembled slightly.
Jaylene frowned. âStella, donât you think what you said is a little too mean?â
âGet lost!â
With a cold face, Stella pushed Keegan aside and directly walked away.
The feeling of her push still lingered in Keeganâs chest, as he clenched his fists.
His expression was concealed under the shadow, and Jaylene could not tell what he was truly feeling.
Then, she asked softly, âKeegan, are you okay? I canât believe what Stella just said. She shouldâve never cursed you like that no matter what.â
Keegan pursed his lips and did not respond to her question.
After some time, he said, How is it? Does your face still hurt?â
Jayleneâs eyes turned red. âIâm fine. Keegan, please donât blame Stella. The fact that I saved you has always bothered her. Iâm sure that Iâm the one sheâs against, not you.â
Keegan spoke in a cold voice, âYou donât have to speak up for her. Iâve already learned what kind of person she is during this time.â
Jaylene lowered her eyes and thought that the two slaps she suffered had all become worth it.
She thought about it for a moment but decided to ask anyway, âKeegan, since Stella hasnât helped you in recovering your memories at all while she was staying at your place, why donât you ask her to leave?
Sheâs too impulsive. I donât care how she treats me, but Iâm afraid that she might do something to hurt you.â
Keegan pursed his lips and said, âItâs grandmaâs decision to have her here.
Thereâs nothing I can do if grandma insists.
âItâs better for her to stay at my place. You wonât feel at peace with her around at home anyway.â
Jaylene was taken aback.
Didnât Keegan ask Stella to leave because he was worried that she might mistreat me at home?â
Jaylene found it somewhat unbelievable. However, when she looked into Keeganâs eyes, his gaze was gentle and did not seem as if he was lying to her.
Her heart pounded vigorously, and her ears turned red.
âKeegan, y-youâ¦â
Before she could ask her question, Trevorâs voice was heard. âJaylene, dad is calling for you.â
Jaylene recollected herself and swallowed the question she was about to ask.
Then, she cleared her throat and said, âIâm coming.â
As she spoke, she looked at Keegan with a gentle gaze that conveyed more than a thousand words.
âKeeganâ¦â
Keegan replied flatly, âGo on. And, take care.â
Jaylene blushed and nodded. Then, she walked away with her fists clenched.
Keegan took a deep breath, glanced in the direction of Stellaâs room, and felt a lump in his throat.
Then, he took out his phone and called Aldor.
At that time, Aldor was accompanying Aurora in playing a shooting game in a bustling carnival.
Aurora was a typical combination of being bad at the game but still loved to play it. She had already fired ten shots, but not a single balloon on the wall was popped.
The stall owner was delighted, as he stuffed the bullets for her and said, âYou did so much better in this round than the last one. Youâre getting more and more accurate. You can definitely hit them this time.â
Unbelievably, Aurora believed him and bought another set of ten bullets.
Just as Aldor was contemplating how to pull her away, Keeganâs call came through.
He walked to the side to answer it.
âLet me ask you a question.â
Keeganâs voice sounded low and deep. âIf you accidentally said something really hurtful to your girlfriend, what would you do to make her feel better?â
âHow hurtful?â Aldor asked.
Keegan pursed his lips and said, âWell⦠scolding her on behalf of another woman.â
Aldor was shocked.
Then, he said, âMr. Kane, I think you should give up and start a new life in another country.â
His response left Keegan utterly speechless. âDid I call you to listen to a joke?â
