Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1740

Chapter 1740

Wenham's remark rendered Keegan speechless.His attitude toward the two could not be any more different.He barely acknowledged the gift Keegan brought but praised Marshall, especially upon learning that Stella had assisted in choosing them.

In the past, Keegan might not have endured this injustice and stormed off.

However, possibly influenced by Jaylene, he remained surprisingly silent.He did not retort even as Wenham sarcastically teased him.

Stella couldn't bear to see Keegan being berated.

She cleared her throat to interrupt Wenham.

"Dad, put the wine away.Marshall has work this afternoon, so we won't be drinking today."

Wenham nodded, "Sure.Make sure Marshall feels welcomed.I'll be there shortly."

Stella agreed, and Wenham carried the two bottles of wine to the wine cellar.

"Marshall, come have a seat."

Stella adjusted the backrest, gesturing for Marshall to sit.He took a seat beside her, directly across from Keegan.

Stella placed her coat aside.She turned to Marshall and said in a hushed voice, "What would you like to drink?"

"Plain water or tea will do," Marshall replied, brushing off a fallen leaf from Stella's shoulder.

In a low voice, he added, * You're a bit underdressed.Are you cold?"

Stella glanced at Keegan from the corner of her eye before saying, "No, I'm not."

"It's the dead of winter, and you're wearing a skirt.Are you sure you're okay?"

Stella lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her legs.

"I'm wearing tights."

She lightly pulled on the tights and said, "They're pretty thick.Marshall seemed genuinely surprised.

"I didn't know you were wearing tights." Stella chuckled.

"Why would I go bare-legged during winter?"

Before they could say anything else, they heard the loud sound of a coffee cup being placed on the table.
