Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1221

Chapter 1221

Stella could immediately sense that the atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward as soon as Darcie spoke.

Wilfred’s friendliness disappeared, and the look on Edith’s face turned nonchalant. Daryl took a sip of his wine without saying anything. Trevor’s gaze paused before he greeted her flatly, “Hello, Darcie.”

Wenham stood up awkwardly and asked, “What brings you here?”

Darcie replied gently, “You forgot your blood pressure medication. I was worried that you couldn’t buy it here, so I brought it for you.”

Trevor kept his lips pursed and remained silent. Blood pressure medication was not an emergency pill like nitroglycerine; it was not needed to be always carried around.

However, Wenham did not think too much about it. He took the medication and said in a low voice, “You could’ve just asked someone to bring it over. Why did you come personally?”

Darcie replied softly, “Mr. and Mrs. Hall Sr. have been in Rivera for some time now, and I wanted to pay them a visit. And… I also wanted to share the joy of reuniting with Stella after waiting with you for so long.”

Wenham felt a little conflicted.

Although Wilfred and Edith did not say anything about his remarriage, he could feel they were not exactly happy about it.

Besides, the reason they gathered here was to reunite as a family. Darcie’s presence was just not appropriate for an occasion like this.

Wenham whispered to Darcie, “You should go back first. We’ll have a meal with Stella again when she’s free some other time. Let’s give her and her grandparents some space today.”

Darice looked a little disappointed, but she did not argue with Wenham. Instead, she replied Mr. and Mrs. Hall Sr. at least. Then I’ll leave.”

At this point, Wenham did not want to reject Darcie anymore. He turned around and gazed at his ex-father-in- law, who shot him a look that said, ‘You’re a useless man.’

Wenham kept quiet.

Darcie replied gently, “Jaylene spent a lot of effort to purposely get you this from her friend. Besides, people who don’t know anything about calligraphy, like me, will never know how to appreciate this pen. It’ll only gather dust and devalue its worth if I were to bring it back.”

Wilfred wanted to refuse further, but Edith patted his lap under the table, leading him to give up the idea. Then, Edith smiled, “We’ll take it since it’s a heartfelt gift from Jaylene.”

Daryl stood up and took the bag after Edith said that. ’ Thanks.” He spoke flatly.

Darcie seemed delighted as she handed Stella another bag. ” Stella, this is a gift I brought for you as a token of our first meeting. Your father didn’t tell me he was coming to meet you in advance, so I didn’t have much time to prepare. I hope that you’ll still like it.”

Stella was a little surprised as she declined, “It’s okay, Darcie.”

However, Darcie insisted, “Your mom and I were very good friends, and I’m very happy for her that you’re well and alive. This is the least I can do for her. Please don’t reject it.”
