Chapter 1914
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
âWell, Iâm not expecting her to be mad, but⦠why is this so different from what I imagined?â Keegan thought to himself.
Keegan had a thousand questions in his head, as he suggested, âHow about Vermontâs place? He said his cat can do backflips.â
Stella did not speak for a while.
âSure. I think the baby would want to see that too.â
Keegan was speechless.
The driver quickly turned the car around and headed to Clouditude International.
Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Vermont opened the door and saw the two empty-handed visitors. âTsk,â he clicked his tongue.
Felicity shouted from inside, âIs our money tree here?â
Vermont tilted his head and said, âYeah, but these two trees are withered. They came empty-handed.â
His response left both Stella and Keegan utterly speechless.
Felicity quickly ran to the door and asked, âStella?â
She pushed Vermont away and said, âWhy are you still standing here? Go make some tea.â
Vermont looked at Keegan angrily, as he thought to himself,1 Why do you have to disturb me and my girlfriend on this wonderful day?â âWhat brought you two here at this hour?â
After sitting down, Felicity asked them.
Stella slowly said, âKeegan said that your cat can do backflips, so I thought that the baby would want to see it.â
Keegan choked on his saliva, and Felicity was taken aback.
âIâll ask the cat to do it for the baby then, I guess.â
Then, Felicity said to the cat, âSewyn, come on, do a flip!â
Sewyn swept its gaze across these boring humans, rolled over, curled up, and continued sleeping.
âStella, come with me. Let me show you my new script.â
After chatting for a while, Felicity suddenly remembered the new script she was currently working on.
She had shown it to Vermont before, but with his sweet tongue, she could never get an honest opinion from him. She just could not trust him.
After Felicity dragged Stella into the study, Vermont said,â Why donât you follow them in? It seems like you canât stop staring at her.â
Keegan paused and glared at Vermont.
Vermont then sized him up. After a while, he said out of the blue, âIf you have something to say, say it.â
Keegan lowered his gaze and said after a long pause. âSheâs acting a little strange.â
âWhat?â Vermont did not catch it at first.
Keegan pursed his lips. âYou see, if you said something hurtful to your girlfriend during a fight and she doesnât seem bothered, what does it mean?â
Vermont replied, âWhat else could it be? She is probably planning on a breakup.
She doesnât care because youâre a nobody to her.â
Keeganâs expression turned ugly, as he said with his jaws clenched, Nonsense!â âTsk. You donât believe me, huh? Hold on, let me prove it to you.â Then, Vermont cleared his throat and said, âMiss Bandit, did you gain weight?â
Bang! A loud sound came from the study, and Vermont quickly added, âDid you gain weight? The gym is having a promotion right now. Theyâre giving a buy- one-free-one package for whoever has a body fat of more than twenty- four percent. If youâre a little fatter, we couldâve signed up for it together.â The next second, Felicityâs voice came fiercely from the study. âYou should eat more and gain thirty pounds to sign up for it yourself!â
âSure.â
Vermont turned to Keegan and said, âDid you see that?
Thatâs because she cares.â
Keegan was irritated. After some time, he said, âIt doesnât apply to everyone.
Just like how only you will feel embarrassed when others mention the word âtwelveâ.â
Vermontâs expression immediately darkened.
Perhaps Stella felt happier after seeing her friend, as Keegan could tell that her mood turned a lot better than when they were heading home.
Stella said to him, âKeegan, Felicityâs mom said that her skin was very good when she was pregnant with Felicity. But, when her sister-in-law was pregnant with a baby boy, she had enlarged pores all over, especially on her nose. When we were on a video call just now, she said I look more beautiful than before. Iâm sure that our baby is a girl. Keegan, do you prefer a son or a daughter?â
