Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 100
Stella was startled. “What did you say?”
Keegan avoided her gaze and said coolly, “Cordelia’s people here. I don’t want grandma to hear any stories, so don’t read too much into it.”
‘No wonder,‘ she thought.
Stella pouted.
‘I knew it. He wouldn’t say such strange things. He’s the one who’s a performing art major graduate; he can get into character anytime and anywhere. But, why should I cooperate with him?‘ she thought.
Just as Stella was about to reject his request, she suddenly saw Bella look longingly in their direction. She looked as if she wanted to pounce over and separate Stella from Keegan.
Suddenly, Stella changed her mind.
She grabbed Keegan’s shoulders and murmured, “Keep your word.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Then, she tip–toed and kissed him on the lips.
Keegan’s lips were a little damp and tasted like red wine; it was faint and smelled a little good. ‘Keegan definitely doesn’t know how nervous I feel every time I use every trick in the book to seduce him. No matter how experienced I pretend to be, I’ve never been an expert when I’m faced with the person I like. But, things are different for Keegan. He rarely has an expression that isn’t indifferent, even while he has the most intimate contact,‘ she thought.
‘Back then, I enjoyed seeing Keegan’s calm and poised composure as if I was bewitched. However, I forgot that no man would be unmoved when looking at the woman he likes unless he was completely uninterested in that woman. If Keegan’s uninterested in me, he wouldn’t spare me a glance even if I stood naked in front of him. Even after he reluctantly sleeps with me, he spends two hours in the bathroom as if I’ve got germs on me!‘ she thought again. Suddenly, Stella felt annoyed.
‘I’m clearly the one who has been patient with this marriage! Who’s Keegan to despise me?‘ she thought.
Stella stared at the face she was once enamored with and stuck out her tongue without warning.
Keegan tensed up and immediately frowned.
After being cheeky, Stella released her grip.
‘Eat my drool, you clean freak!‘ she thought.
She felt even more satisfied when she saw Bella’s stunned and jealous gaze.
“Hey, shouldn’t you two be more mindful of your images?”
Vermont popped out of nowhere and placed his hand on Keegan’s shoulder.
“At the very least, be considerate of single people like me here.”
Stella turned around and realized that not only was Vermont here but also Marshall.
His indifferent gaze met with hers. Then, he nodded lightly and did not speak.
Stella felt guilty and nervous. She felt guilty because she had not told him her real name from the start, and nervous because she was worried that Marshall would expose her. She still did not want Keegan to
know that she was “Dusk Galaxy.”
‘Even if I get exposed, not now,’ she thought.
Then, she felt pressure on her waist. Keegan was holding her.
“We’re all adults. What haven’t you seen before?” he asked coolly.
Stella snapped out of her daze and looked down at his hand on her waist. She held back and did not publicly swat his hand away.
“Where’s Aurora?” asked Keegan.
“She went out to answer a call.” Vermont continued teasingly, “I’m guessing it’s your mom. Otherwise, how could she leave behind her Marshall.”
Marshall frowned momentarily but did not respond. He grabbed the wine on the table and looked at Stella. “Want a glass?”
