Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

‘What does Dahlia mean by this? They already know that Bella is pregnant, and they still told the nanny to feed me this decoction? Are women just the baby–making tools of the Kane family? They don’t care at all whether the baby is born in wedlock or out of wedlock as long as the woman can still give birth,‘ Stella thought.

Seeing Stella’s eyebrows furrow, Maya quickly replied, “Madam Cordelia specifically told me to add some sugar syrup so that it wouldn’t taste so bitter.”

Stella pursed her lips. “You saw it yourself, Maya. Keegan and I are getting divorced soon, so there is no need for this decoction.”

“What are you saying, Madam? Having some hardships in your married life is unavoidable. You can’t just keep mentioning divorce every time you get into a fight. It hurts the relationship. If the master did not care about you, he wouldn’t have gone out after receiving the call. Besides, how can there be divorced couples still sleeping in the same room?” Maya said.

Stella was speechless. She did not know how to tell Maya that both Keegan and she had merely slept on the same bed. Nothing else had happened.

“Madam Cordelia said that the decoction should be ingested after performing sexual activities to increase the chances of getting pregnant. When you have some good news and are able,” Maya continued.

Stella did not know how many times she had heard these words over the years. Initially, she also assumed so. When Stella and Keegan were married, they had no foundation in their relationship. If they could have a child together sooner, they would have a connection with each other sooner. Then, their relationship would be able to grow.

However, all of this was just her imagination. Keegan fundamentally did not want to have a child with her. She also slowly grew aware of this. Children are not tools for Stella to bind Keegan to her. That was a living being. They should be born out of the expectation of the parents and not a tool for preserving the parents‘ marriage. She was not willing to give birth to a child for Keegan. Her value as a person is also not solely tied to her ability to give birth to a child.

“Maya, we currently don’t want to have a child, so drinking this decoction would be pointless,” Stella said.

“Ma’am, Madam Cordelia told me to make sure that you drink all of it. This is for your own good. Madam Cordelia would see this as my fault if you don’t drink it. My son has just started studying at university this year. I can’t afford to lose my job…” Maya, the nanny, was so anxious she was about to cry.
