Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1940

Chapter 1940

Stella was about to say something, but before she could speak, Keegan asked in a soft and hoarse voice, “You don’t believe me?”

Stella was taken aback, and she lowered her gaze.

Keegan knew her too well and could easily guess what was on her mind.

If Aurora had not acted strangely in front of Stella due to nervousness, which led to Stella noticing Dahlia’s plan, Stella would really be lying in a pool of blood right now.

Stella had difficulty conceiving, and this might be their only chance to become parents. Yet, Dahlia wanted to strip them of this opportunity because of her own selfish motives.

Keegan knew that if something happened and the baby was gone, Stella would never be able to get over it and continue her relationship with Keegan.

Even if she knew that he was equally innocent and heartbroken as she was.

Stella did not reveal her plan to Keegan because she wanted to make sure that Dahlia’s plan could go “smoothly”, allowing her to catch Dahlia red-handed.

She was worried that telling Keegan about it in advance would make him soft-hearted, so she did not want to leave that choice in his hands.

Stella felt a pang in her heart. Then, she lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, “Keegan, I don’t dare to take this gamble, nor can I afford to. I want our child to be born safely. I’ll get rid of anyone who poses a threat to him. I won’t spare anyone who would harm us.”

Keegan tightened his grip on her hand and asked, “And, you think I will?”

Stella curled her fingers and said after a long pause, “She’s your mother, after all. I just didn’t expect you to do the same. n

Keegan lowered his head and spoke in a hoarse voice,” Stella, even if I’ll be soft-hearted, she’s still trying to harm you and our child. Do you really think that I’m someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong?”

Stella felt a lump in her throat, finding it hard to utter a word.

Keegan crouched down, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed his face against her stomach. “I’m sorry for not being good enough. It’s my fault for not being able to make you feel safe around me. I’ll change. Next time, please talk to me if something happens. I don’t want to be the last one to know. I’m afraid that…”

Stella’s heart melted, as she reached out to stroke his hair at the back of his head. Then, she lowered her head and smiled. “What a scaredy cat.”

“Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, okay?” Keegan sounded gentle.

Stella rubbed her chin on the top of his head and said,” You’re the boss.”

Keegan paused, as he was taken aback by her response.
