Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Stella turned to Dahlia out of reflex.

Dahlia indifferently said, “Mrs. White is talking to you.”

Stella pursed her lips.

“I’m not that good at it,” she said.

Mrs. White laughed.

“I like people who aren’t good at it.”

And so, Stella took over Mrs. Wood’s place and played Mah–Jongg with the three women.

Mrs. White discarded a 3 of Bamboo. “I haven’t seen Aurora the entire day. Where did that girl go? She’s graduating this year, right?”

Mrs. Chapman laughed, “Where else would she be? She must’ve gone to your nephew’s law firm. Why don’t you play matchmaker and tell your brother and his wife? After they get engaged, you and Dahlia will be considered in–laws in the future.”

“My sister–in–law likes Aurora. Naturally, she’ll agree. As for Marshall, it’s hard to say. That boy usually seems soft–spoken and easy to talk to, but he’s actually very opinionated. I’m afraid we can’t make decisions for him,” said Mrs. White.

“They can bond after they get married. Didn’t we go through the same thing?”

Dahlia responded coolly, “Aurora is still young. There’s no need to rush things.”

Stella listened to their conversation carefully and discarded a 30 thousand tile.

“Mah–Jongg!”

Mrs. Chapman beamed, “A 30 thousand tile. I thought I would have to wait for a while.”

Mrs. White looked up and clicked her tongue, “You’re really not that good at it. Why would you discard that tile when there aren’t that many tiles from that suit?”

Mrs. Chapman was over the moon because she had won the round. She even defended Stella in her own stead. “It’s just the first round. Maybe she’s still not familiar with it. Let’s continue, let’s continue!”

The last time Stella played Mah–Jongg was when she was still in school. It was one of her housemate’s birthday, so they went out to celebrate and did whatever the housemate wanted for a day.

Her housemate was Chinese, so she brought them to a cardroom and played an entire night of Mah- Jongg. It was then Stella learned how to play Mah–Jongg.

After Stella graduated and married Keegan, she rarely attended her friends‘ invitations and did not even play Mah–Jongg once. Even now, she could, at most, identify what a winning hand looked like. As for guessing what tiles others had, she had no experience in that at all.
