Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Aurora gritted her teeth and said, “How would you know if he’d like me or not? His parents like me! You just don’t want to help your sister out!”

Keegan nodded, “Then, go look for him yourself.”

Aurora was stunned for a moment. ‘Would I be here begging you to contact Marshall if I could do it myself?’ Marshall seemed to have deliberately avoided Aurora since he returned to the country. Whenever she found out where he was, he would be nowhere in sight when she arrived. He also never picked up when Aurora called.

“Please, Keegan. Help me out here. Don’t you want me to be happily married in the future?” Keegan glanced at her and said, “You two are not suitable for each other. He’s seven years older than you.”

“Stella was the same age as me when you married her. Why didn’t you think she was too young? Why do you men have such double standards?” Keegan was reminded of what Stella did when Aurora mentioned her name. Initially, he had a headache from quarreling with Aurora, but now his tummy was aching too. He tossed the phone to Aurora and said, “Get out of here after you finish.”

Aurora grabbed the phone with joy and immediately called Marshall. “Hello?” Marshall’s gentle voice sounded as he picked up the phone. “Marshall, where are you? Why aren’t you answering my texts or calls?

Marshall occasionally talked to her but knew to avoid crossing the line. For example, he did not act overly concerned about what happened at the police station, nor did he ask her why she was at the hospital the last time they met. Instead, he focused on other light–hearted details like where she got her unique phone charm. After learning that she made it herself, Marshall’s gaze showed shock and admiration.

The conversation made Stella feel comfortable. For a moment, she imagined that if Keegan were the one next to her, he would have glanced at her in disdain and said, “It’s so ugly.”

‘The day he praises me is the day pigs fly,‘ she thought. Keegan did not love her, so he never knew how to appreciate her.
