Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

“I… don’t think I’m going. Keegan hasn’t recovered yet, and I have to stay here to take care of him.”

Stella spoke in a hesitant manner. Clearly, she was still very tempted to go.

Vermont responded, “He’s not a kid that needs you to hug and tuck him in. Just leave him at home. I’ll bring you there.”

The edge of Keegan’s eyebrow twitched. Suddenly, he felt like stuffing something into Vermont’s mouth to shut him up.

“Oh… Maybe… I should go then?”

She asked Keegan tentatively.

Keegan gazed at her. “Do whatever you want. Why are you looking at me?”

“Oh.” And so, Stella began to ask more questions about the exhibition. “What time does it start?”

“Probably seven to eight at night. We’ll only be able to witness the beauty of the Luminous Pearl when it’s dark. Just get ready by then, and I’ll come to pick you up.”

Vermont went offline after saying that.

The study room suddenly went quiet. Stella had yet to get what she came here for, so she did not leave.

Keegan was starting to find her presence annoying.

He glared at her and said, “Can I help you?”

“Nope. Just do whatever you were doing. I’ll stay here. Let me know if you need any help.”

Keegan responded coldly, “You’re distracting me here.”

Stella’s mouth twitched. Then, she said softly while resisting the urge to scold Keegan, “The doctor said that you shouldn’t overwork yourself while recovering. Mr. Kane, you’ve been staying here for hours. Let me massage your shoulders for you.”

Keegan looked at her strangely. “Is something wrong with you?”

Her muscles would get sore from all the training in university back then, so she and her classmates had to always massage each other to ease the soreness.

Keegan’s eyes were half-closed. Clearly, he was enjoying it.

When the timing seemed right, Stella asked softly, “Mr. Kane, do you know who Ibelia Zeckary is?”

Keegan frowned. “Who?”

“A very famous actress. She was a forensic doctor in the police drama that aired this year. We watched it together, right?”

Keegan looked down and thought for a moment. He only remembered that the male lead died in the show, and Stella could not stop crying while lying on the sofa. Then, she woke up with a pair of swollen eyes. He could not recall anything else about the plot.

“What about it?”

Stella responded softly, “That actress got canceled by the entire internet.”
