Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 996

Chapter 996

Albert said in a gentle voice, “Even though you and Stella are divorced, to me, we’re still family. Besides, I’m just used to calling you that after so many years.”

Keegan raised his eyebrows and said, “Well, I’m afraid that you have to start getting used to addressing me in a different way now. You’re not Stella’s father. Technically, I’m not related to you in any way. If you don’t stop calling me that, I’ll have to do a lot of explaining to others. So, please stop doing that.”

The edge of Albert’s eye twitched as he felt extremely awkward.

However, when he heard how warmly Keegan said Stella’s name, he realized that Keegan was still willing to be with her despite being lied to previously.

So, it further solidified his decision to adopt Stella and become her foster father because the benefits that the Kane family had brought him in the past years were simply irresistible and he could not let go of them.

Albert quickly adjusted himself. “Even though I’m not Stella’s biological father, I’ve raised her since she was a child. I’ve also told her about adopting her and I know that deep down, she’s fine with it too. No matter what, I’m still considered as her father.”

Hylda became anxious after hearing what. “What nonsense are you talking about? Are you sure that you want to adopt Stella? Are you out of your mind?”

Albert’s face immediately darkened. “Shut up when men are talking!’

Hylda was fuming. Not only that Albert cheated on her and got another woman pregnant, he even tried to adopt Stella. She could not figure out what was going on in Albert’s head. Stella had such deep resentment toward them, yet he wanted to keep a deadly threat around him. Albert’s decision was simply ridiculous to Hylda!

As her anger flared, her stomach began hurting. She instinctively grabbed Albert and grunted, “Albert, my stomach hurts.”

Albert thought that she was just pretending to ruin his plan, so he got impatient with her. “Go back to your room and rest then. Who told you to come outside?”

Then, he turned to Stella and put on a concerned look on his face. “Stella, how have you been lately? Is the money I transferred to you previously enough? I can give you more money If you need them.”

Hylda was already very angry, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head when she heard Albert giving Stella money behind her back.
