Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Chapter 1785

Chapter 1785

Keegan was surprised by the ice-cold sensation in his palm.

It felt colder than the bottled water he held.

1 Stella withdrew her hand, saying, "At least pretend to care if you're thinking about having a child." Keegan glanced at his empty hand and gently clenched his fist.

Then, he turned to Aldor, instructing, "Turn up the heater." Aldor nodded, and soon the car's temperature increased.

Stella wasn't genuinely feeling cold; she was just annoyed by Keegan's apparent consideration for Jaylene.

Keegan might have comforted Jaylene if she hadn't shown up earlier.

Her once-confident understanding of Keegan now seemed uncertain.

Stella closed her eyes without looking at him again, feeling somewhat drained.

The physical changes from pregnancy quickly lulled her into sleep.

In her dream, she was diving.

It was strange; despite being underwater, she didn't feel cold at all.

On the contrary, it was comfortably warm.

The underwater world was vibrant with colors, and schools of fish swam around.

As she dove deeper, a round, transparent, bubble- like object suddenly appeared in front of her.

With a thought, Stella gently poked it with her hand, and the bubble split into two.

They drifted toward her, and she tried to grab them, but her hands couldn't move.

Suddenly, she felt breathless.

Stella struggled in her dream.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself looking into Keegan's eyes.

It dawned on her that she was resting against his chest, her hands securely held by his.

Keegan appeared momentarily surprised that she was awake, a flicker of discomfort passing through his eyes.

However, he swiftly concealed it.

Releasing her hands, he casually remarked, "You can get out of the car now.” Stella glanced at her hands and then at him.

Keegan paused and explained, "You were asleep and holding onto me, so I held you back." Stella remained silent, fixing her gaze on Keegan, which made him uneasy.

"Don't believe me? Ask Aldor." Upon being called, Aldor cleared his throat and spoke up.

"Yes, indeed, Mr.

Kane is correct.

You were pulling on his arm, and the coldness of your hands made him hold onto you." Keegan's brow twitched as he glanced at Aldor, who maintained a smile and a professional demeanor.

"Don't think too much about it," Keegan said.

"Okay—" Stella drawled, then added, "Why bother explaining so much? I didn't even ask." Her response left Keegan momentarily speechless.

Stella was in a cheerful mood.

She pushed open the door and stepped out of the car.

The neighbor's dog had escaped and was nibbling at their lawn.

Stella bent down, grabbed its fluffy front legs, twirled it around twice, and then sent it back through the neighbor's door.

Keegan watched the unfolding scene, hesitating for a moment before asking Aldor, "Has she always been like this?" Aldor did not answer.

Cordelia had arranged for a clean-up yesterday, and as Stella pushed the door open, she noticed the house looked pristine.

There was hardly any change from before their divorce.

Many items that Stella had purchased together with Keegan—like slippers, cup sets, and tea mugs— remained neatly placed as they used to be.

Keegan probably hadn't been back since his return.

Given his current memory loss, encountering unfamiliar belongings in his home might prompt him to request their removal.

When Stella turned to ask Keegan a question, she saw him standing in a daze before their large wedding photo.

Approaching him, she stood by his side, glancing at him and then at the wedding picture.

"I must admit, you've aged quite a bit over the years.

Meanwhile, I seem to be getting more and more beautiful." Her words left Keegan speechless.
