Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1595

Stella soon realized that she had avoided a close call with death just a moment ago. She got goosebumps and broke out in cold sweat.

Marshall held her hand, his tone unusually tense, “Are you okay? Did the car hit you? Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you hurt?”

Stella pressed her lips together and suddenly withdrew her hand from his palm.

Marshall was momentarily taken aback.

Stella lowered her head and pretended to adjust her clothes. “I’m fine,” she said.

She then looked up at him and smiled, “Thank you.”

Her gaze suddenly grew distant, and Marshall watched her in a daze. He could read her emotions without the need for words. She was rejecting his affection.

Marshall lowered his eyes, feeling a pang in his heart. “I’m glad you’re fine,” he whispered.

Stella clutched her phone. She wanted to say something but did not know how to begin.

Stella always thought that Keegan was overthinking when he got jealous of Marshall. But the urgency and relief in

Marshall’s eyes made things apparent to her; he did not just see her as a friend.

Stella could not help but reflect on whether she had done something to make

Marshall misinterpret their connection and have feelings for her, Does he like me because I saved him from his client’s abusive husband?’

‘That can’t be it. Marshall is a mature and rational man. How could he develop feelings for someone just because they saved his life, especially when I’m his best friend’s ex cum current partner?’

Marshall was exceptionally good at keeping his emotions in check. If it were not for the sudden turn of events earlier, Stella would not have noticed it at all.

However, since he had not confessed his feelings, she naturally could not say anything to reject him.
