Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1889

Stella did not head toward the bridge at Lumi River. Instead, she drove straight to the riverside.

After stopping the car, Stella unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at Keegan.

Keegan felt that the car had stopped and opened his eyes.” Are we home?” he asked.

Stella’s eyes deepened. She shook her head and replied in a low voice, “No.”

Keegan furrowed his brows and whispered, “Hurry up. I want to sleep.”

Stella unfastened his seatbelt and said, “Answer a few questions, and I’ll take you home.”

Keegan looked at her in confusion. “What are the questions?”

Stella stared into his eyes and asked, “First of all, who am I?”

Keegan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Stella narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you want to go home and sleep?”

Keegan whispered, “Stella.”

Stella’s eyes darkened. “That’s not how you addressed me earlier at my house.”

Keegan did not speak.

Stella ground her teeth, as she was irritated that he was being difficult despite being intoxicated. “Can’t remember, huh?”

She leaned back in her seat and said, “Then, we’ll wait here until you remember.”

Keegan hesitated. He was surprised by her stubbornness.” You said you’d take me home if I answered your question.”

“I’m not someone who keeps my word,” Stella responded.

Stella took his hand, placed it on her abdomen, and said,” Honey, the wish we made on the night of our proposal has come true.” Keegan stared at her blankly before finally leaning down to hug her.

“Stella,” he softly called her name.

Stella responded and felt something soft touching her forehead.

She froze and looked up to meet Keegan’s starry eyes.

She reached out to touch his cheek but hesitated before making contact. She remembered his resistance when she tried to touch him previously. Even though he was right in front of her in perfect condition, she felt as though it was an illusion.

Keegan grabbed her hand and placed it on his cheek, as she was about to pull away. He lightly kissed her and said,” Stella, Stella… Was it cold when you were in the water?”

Stella’s nose tingled, and her eyes turned red.

Keegan panicked when he noticed her tears. He awkwardly wiped them away and said in a hoarse voice, “Did they hurt you?”
