Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 2046

Chapter 2046

Stella was taken aback. She had always viewed this matter from her and Trevor's perspective, neglecting to consider it from Wenham's viewpoint.

She had to acknowledge that Wenham marrying her late mother’s best friend had stirred a sense of discomfort within her.

However, Stella hadn't been present to witness the events that unfolded back then, nor did she understand the circumstances surrounding Wenham's marriage to Darcie.

There were six years between Stella's mom dying and Wenham getting married again. Only Wenham knew how hard those years were.

Wenham had been a widower with a kid and a sick mom back then. Darcie helped them a lot.

Wenham's mom worried about him being alone after she died, so she wanted him to marry Darcie, who was nice and could help with the household.

Stella thought maybe Wenham meant there were things he couldn't change. Perhaps he didn't want to upset his sick mom and couldn't bring himself to leave a woman who had helped him so much, even risking her life.

She wondered if Wenham let Darcie take charge to ease his guilt.

Stella didn't know how Darcie felt about Wenham, but she was sure Darcie understood him.

She walked up to Wenham and hugged him. "Dad," she said softly. Wenham looked at her.

Stella patted his back. "Dad, you've raised Trevor so well. And you found me, making our family whole again. You're the best."

Tears filled Wenham's eyes as he turned away, trying to hold back his feelings. After a long pause, he said, "Having a daughter is always better than having a son. Trevor just gets on my nerves."

Stella chuckled. "I'll find him a girlfriend to keep him in line.”

"Make sure she's tough," Wenham suggested.

Stella joked, "Sure, well find someone who's into mixed martial arts. If he ever annoys you again, she can give him a scare."

But Wenham felt guilty. "She doesn't have to be an expert. Just someone who can intimidate him a bit." Stella couldn't stop laughing at that.

Wenham packed his clothes and asked quietly, "Are you purposely sending us out of the country?

Every time I tried to talk just now, you stuffed a walnut in my mouth."
