Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1867

Aldor, feeling a mix of sadness and understanding for Sylvia, had his suspicions about why Cordelia insisted on their dinner attendance.

He deduced that his earlier rejection of Cordelia's marriage proposal might have prompted her to arrange this impromptu " blind date" with Aurora.

Cordelia had been vague, mentioning only that their presence would make the dinner more joyful.

Sylvia, visibly worried about Aldor's job security, masked her discomfort with a forced smile.

This deepened Aldor's sadness, and he couldn't help but cast a colder gaze toward Aurora.

Aurora shivered slightly, sensing the tension.

She realized that her past arrogance might have led Aldor to believe she was deliberately trying to embarrass Sylvia.

But that wasn't her intention.

Apologizing wasn't Aurora's strong suit.

She nervously offered Sylvia some buffalo wings, her voice wavering, "Mrs.

Hart, I...

1 think your gray hair might be genetic.

My aunt, who's only in her forties, has lots of gray hair too, and she dyes it." Keegan could only watch in silence.

Far away, Cyrene sneezed at that very moment.

Sylvia pondered, ‘Aurora isn't as bad as Aldor made her seem.' As Sylvia was about to express her gratitude, Aldor interjected flatly, "Mom, you don't like chicken." Aurora's irritation flared.

"If she doesn't like it, just throw it away! The room filled with an awkward tension following her outburst.

Sylvia, frustrated, confronted Aldor, "How would you know what I like? You're hardly ever around." Sylvia's primary concern was to defuse the situation, fearing any conflict might jeopardize Aldor's hard-earned position at Vinci Rivera.

Unbeknownst to her, Aldor's skills and background would serve him well, regardless of his employment status.

Aldor remained silent.

Cordelia, trying to ease the situation, advised, "Sylvia, don't eat it if you don't like it.

Aurora says things without thinking.
