Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 964

Stella smacked the back of his hand and glared at him. “I texted you on WhatsApp. Didn’t you check your phone?”

“You asked me to take a good rest, right?”

Stella paused. ’I sent you a few messages. I told you I needed to do a favor for Marshall, and I was going to see you after your rest.”

Keegan frowned. “I only read the message about resting.”

The other messages were probably erased or delayed because he had to switch off his phone.

Then, Stella repeated everything that was happening to him. “He said that others had introduced him to several girls, and he thought it would be inappropriate to keep rejecting them. So, he lied about having a girlfriend. But, Duncan asked him to bring his girlfriend along to attend his wedding. He couldn’t find a girl, so he came to me and asked for my help. I was afraid that you’d misunderstand anything, so I called you. But, your phone was switched off.

‘Can’t find a girl?’

Keegan scoffed.

“Do you have no principles? You’re a married woman. How could you do a favor like this?”

“You’re just my boyfriend on probation.’ Stella corrected him. She paused for a moment before she continued, “Marshall was the one who handled my mother’s funeral arrangement. I just couldn’t refuse him.”

Stella noticed that Keegan still looked a little unhappy after she said that. So, she stretched her pinky out and hooked his palm before she softly said, “Besides, I didn’t want to hide this from you. I called and texted you.”

However, Keegan was not mad at her.

He was only angry because Marshall was the reason why she had to put so much makeup on her face, and she only had to help him because she owed him a favor.

He regretted everything that he did before and after the divorce. He figured that Marshall would never have an opportunity to make Stella owe him a favor if he would just control his temper and communicate more with Stella. He just could not accept the fact that Marshall guilt trip Stella into doing such a thing to repay him.

Keegan took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. Then, he pinched her earlobe and asked softly, ’Who made you look like this?”

Stella answered, “A makeup artist that Marshall hired. He claimed that no one would recognize me with this makeup.”

Then, she paused before she complained, ‘I thought you’d recognize me with just a glance!”
