Chapter 509
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
He halted the conversation right then, turned around, and headed into The Deli. Bellaâs expression turned gloomy. âHaving been used to the core, Iâve already lost all usefulness to Keegan, yet he had not shown a single interest in our relationship for the past few years. Iâve worked so hard to climb to this position. And, what is it about Stella? What am I lacking, and what does she have that made her so quickly to be able to find such a good man like Trevor the instant she was divorced?â Still sulking, she took out her phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, she said in a low voice, âItâs me, Bella.â
Before the person on the other end could respond, Bella continued, âIâve done it as you said, yet Keegan did not respond. You have to help me.â
Once they were in the elevator, Stella said, âMr. Saun, thank you for helping me out.â Trevor smiled and said, âI didnât really do it just to help you. He blocked my way, so I had to get him back.â
âHuh?â
âHe thought there was something going on between the two of us, but my father had a lot of profiles of socialites and is already preparing matchmaking sessions for me.â
Stella was dumbfounded.
âSince heâs not budging, then donât mind me for being ruthless,â Trevor said with his upturned lips. âDid you see his face just now? I was afraid that he might break down from all the rage.â
Stella was speechless. Then, she said, âYouâre overthinking this.â
âKeegan will definitely not have a breakdown. A mutt will break down crying well before he even would!
Not to mention an ex-wife that no longer has anything to do with him,â Stella thought.
Once they got off the elevator, a waiter guided them over to a private cubicle. When they were arriving at the cubicle, Stella turned nervous instead. She unconsciously tightened her hands when Trevor opened the door.
âIâve brought her with me, Father, Darcie.â
He side-stepped after greeting them, revealing Stella whose eyes were downcast as she warmly said, âHello, Mr. and Mrs. Saun.â
Wenham was startled when he saw her, not hiding his face full of astonishment. Her long hair was tied back in a ponytail. With her minimal makeup and picturesque eyebrows, she could not hide her stunning beauty even with her downcast eyes.
Words could not leave Wenhamâs throat as he gawked at her. Darcie said with a smile, âTrevor, is this Ms. Jewell that you have mentioned before? You look familiar. Come have a seat.â
Wenham only recovered from his daze after Darcie spoke, and he immediately added, âRight, please let Ms. Jewell in.â
He then continued, âTrevor, help Ms. Jewell order a few more dishes she likes.â
âThereâs no need for that,â said Stella in a low tone. âThe dishes that were ordered are more than enough, and Iâm not really hungry.â
Trevor replied, âIâve already asked Ms. Jewell beforehand, and the ones you guys ordered are all her favorite.â
Wenham arched his brows and said, âThatâs good then.â
He continued by introducing his family to Stella. âThis is my wife, Darcie.
And, this is my daughter, Jaylene, who is almost the same age as you, and thereâs Trevor, who needs no introductions since youâre familiar with him by now.â
Stella nodded her head at them when Wenham introduced his family individually. She had a little impression of Jaylene as she has seen her before. But, this was the first time she met Wenham and Darcie.
âTrevor called his mother âDarcieâ instead of âmotherâ just when we entered the cubicle. Is she not Mr.
Saunâs first wife?â
She was still deep in her own thoughts when there was a knock on the door from behind her, and the door opened. She assumed that it was the waiter. However, right at the next moment, Keeganâs voice could be heard.â Hi, Uncle Wenham.â
