Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172

Unable to persuade further, Keegan refrained from speaking more.

Keegan could smell alcohol as Stella approached. Surprised, he asked, “Did you drink?”

“No,” said Stella, her face flushing red with alcohol. After denying it, she realized that the smell of beer couldn’t be hidden, and lying would only worsen it. She corrected herself, “Not a lot. Just a little.”

It was indeed just as little as half a bottle of red wine. With Stella’s alcohol tolerance, half a bottle is not enough to make her drunk.

Keegan stared at her for a few seconds, threw a towel at her, and said indifferently, “Wash yourself.”

This was the first in Stella’s life that she had to bathe someone.

Though they did mess around in the shower before, it was when she was trying to flirt with him by using the excuse of rubbing his back.

Not even able to finish rubbing his back, she ended up giving up. In the end, he had to wash her up and carry her back home.

In the past, Keegan rarely refused her advances. No matter how much he did not fancy her, they would still be intimate in bed once she started flirting.

Since last year though, he seemed to avoid being intimate with her.

Since the argument about having kids, Keegan seemed to be less and less interested in her.

‘Maybe he’s tired of me, and not wanting any children is just an excuse. Or perhaps he purely just wanted to protect Bella?’

‘What an asshole! Why don’t you consider protecting the one you love before you become intimate with her?’

Still deep in her thoughts, someone suddenly caught her wrist.

Her eyes locked onto Keegan’s dark eyes as she returned to reality. He said in a hoarse voice, ” What are you doing?”

Stella then realized that while her head was in the clouds, her hands had unconsciously rubbed downwards.

Feeling awkward, she hurriedly retracted her hands, but with a sudden strong pull from Keegan, Stella’s whole body fell into the tub.

Water splashed out of the bathtub as Stella fell against Keegan. She struggled to get up, almost choking on the bath water.

Keegan single-handedly wrapped an arm around her waist, embracing her. The heat emanating from her back caused Stella’s mind to draw a blank.

She heard Keegan’s deep and throaty voice ringing next to her ear. “I told you to change your clothes earlier. Look what happened.”
