Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Stella quipped.
Keegan chuckled, “Worried you’ll go soft, huh? Seems I was overthinking.”
Stella said, “I was indeed feeling a bit soft, but something just happened that made me very uncomfortable.”
She briefly mentioned Larry kneeling down, “I wasn’t that angry before. But when I saw him kneeling outside, my temper flared
up instantly. With so many people watching, I felt like he was pressuring me, so I took the opportunity to reassign him.”
Sighing, she continued, “Actually, on the way here, I felt a bit guilty. I wondered if I was being too harsh. He’s currently short of
money to get a cochlear implant for his son. His new position will surely pay less than before.”
Keegan patted her hand. “A cochlear implant is just an assistive device; it’s not a matter of life and death. If he wants to get one
for his son, there’s no rush for it. But going behind your back to take on a side job, I find that hard to justify.”
Stella blinked, asking softly, “Do you think he’s lying?”
Keegan shook his head. “I’m not sure. But someone who readily kneels down, easily sacrificing dignity, must value something
more than dignity. Reassigning him is the best option. Having him close to you makes me uneasy,” he said, holding her hand,
whispering, “Don’t be soft-hearted.
When you are, I get anxious.”
“Sigh, I just feel like I owe him a favor. There are two disabled people in his family, and I can’t help but feel sorry for them. Who
else have I been softhearted toward? I’m as tough as nails!”
Keegan immediately pointed out, “You’re quite soft-hearted toward Marshall.”
Realizing Keegan was bringing up old matters, Stella quickly added,” Wasn’t I deceived by his gentle appearance? Who
would’ve thought he was so calculating? If it weren’t for him provoking you, why would you have foolishly gone horse riding with
him and ended up dislocating your arm? You don’t know how upset I was for days after you told me about it.”
Keegan was speechless.
He was about to say something when Stella continued, “He’s really calculating.

He even deliberately showed me the burn on his arm. You know how I can’t help but donate when I see someone injured online.
When it’s someone close to me like this, I’m bound to feel sympathetic.”
Keegan was even more speechless.
How did she manage to say all of his lines? What was he supposed to say?
“Alright,” Stella hugged his arm while saying, “Enough with the jealousy. Can’t you, a legitimate husband, show some dignity?
Why do you act like a manstress, full of anxiety and insecurity?”
Keegan’s eyelid twitched, asking nonchalantly, “What’s the demeanor of a legitimate husband?”
“Like this,” Stella cleared her throat, imitating the queen in palace dramas,” As long as I am alive, you are all just concubines!
“So, stay alive and let the rivals die from jealousy!”
Keegan’s lips twitched, and Aldor couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Keegan, annoyed, said, “What are you always reading? Can’t you focus on prenatal education?”
“What can such a small one understand?” Stella said, then suddenly exclaimed, “Ah!”
Keegan was startled. “What’s wrong?”
Keegan was taken aback. “They are only fifteen weeks old, are you sure?”
Stella sat frozen, wide-eyed, looking at her belly. “. Ethink they moved.”
Keegan was puzzled. “How do I call them?”
Stella shook her head. “I’m not sure either. It was just that one C0 M movement, ande didn’t really feel it pFoperly. Call them, and
I’ll try to feel it again.”
“Use your mouth.”
But the babies didn’t move. Stella’s phone vibrated; Trevor was calling.
Stella answered.

“How much longer are you two going to flirt in the car?”
Keegan placed his hand on her belly.
“Little ones, moxeja)bit, it’s daddy.”
