Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 2175

She recalled the amusing scene from earlier and, now, observing the sluggish fish, couldn't resist kicking a pebble into the water.

With a splash, the plump fish jerked in alarm, its tail nearly swatting the nearby small koi.

Cordelia's eyelid twitched.

How much did this impulsive act resemble her mischievous grandson? Stella realized the effect of her action and quickly withdrew her foot guiltily, mustering a smile as she called out, “Grandma." Coco bounded over, clutching onto Stella's leg and chirping, " Stella, why did you take so long to come?

Once the child was out of earshot, Cordelia inquired, “What did you two talk about?” Stella recounted every detail to Cordelia.

The more Cordelia listened, the graver her expression became.

Cordelia closed her eyes, then reopened them, determination glinting in her murky gaze.

It's time to do some spring cleaning." She couldn't help but cough after speaking.

Stella hurried forward to pat Cordelia's back, waiting for the fit to subside before pouring tea into a pot and offering it to her.
