Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 21

It was clear to Stella that Aldor was telling her that Keegan had not eaten yet and that him not in the

mood to discuss anything was just another way to get back at her. It had been more than a year since she last cooked for him.

When Stella first married into the Kane family, she was infatuated with Keegan. She had not gotten into voice acting back then, so she spent all her time following him around. Stella used to believe in the saying, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” and she practiced her culinary skills hard just to get Keegan’s attention. However, she did not have any talent for cooking. Her dishes were barely edible even after a month of practice.

But, even so, she enthusiastically made lunch boxes for Keegan to bring to work, and she still remembered what Keegan said when he first tasted her most satisfied creation-“This is horrible.” Despite his words, Stella did not give up. She made another lunch box the next day and gave it to him when he was at work. “I guarantee it’ll taste delicious this time,” she cheekily said, but Keegan did not bother to respond.

She wondered all day as to what he would think of her food. When Keegan returned home that night, she eagerly asked him, “Well? How was it? Was it better than yesterday?”

“Stop making food for me. It tasted gross,” he replied. However, Stella saw that his lunch box was empty, so she was happy. She worked harder to cook lunch for him, and Keegan returned with an empty lunch box every time.

Stella naively thought that their marriage was going well and that he also had feelings for her. That was until she saw him dumping all the food she had prepared into the trash. She then realized that their love was one–sided and that Keegan did not expose that fact because he wanted to save both their

faces. From that day onward, Stella never cooked for Keegan again, and he never asked her to do so either. That was probably what he wanted all along. After all, pretending to finish the food was tiring.

‘Is he trying to humiliate me by asking Aldor to mention my cooking when I’m here to discuss the divorce? she thought. Stella tried to come up with an excuse and said, “Oh, that’ll make things difficult. He’ll be off from work when I get back with the food. Where can I find him, then?” But, Aldor was prepared. “There’s a private kitchen in the cafeteria with all sorts of ingredients there. You can use whatever you want, Mrs. Kane.”

Stella was speechless. ‘They obviously planned this and were waiting for me to take the bait,‘ she thought. ‘But, I can’t escape now. Otherwise, this matter will never come to an end.‘ NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

A few minutes later, she and Aldor arrived at the private kitchen. ‘This place is much bigger than I thought. It’s so tidy, and there are so many ingredients to use.

Stella could not wait to discuss the divorce. So much so that she could not focus on cooking, nor did she know what to cook. She stared at the ingredients for a long time and suddenly had an idea. After more than 20 minutes, her dish was done. It looked presentable. She untied her apron, turned her gaze toward Aldor, and said, “Lead the way, Aldor.”

Keegan’s office was on the twelfth floor of the building. Aldor knocked on the door and said in a low voice, “Mr. Kane, Mrs. Kane is here with some lunch.”

‘Wasn’t he the one who asked for it?‘ Stella thought.

“Let her in.” Keegan’s cold voice came from inside. Aldor led Stella into the office, put the food on the office desk, and went out of the room, closing the door behind him. Stella clenched her hands and stood there awkwardly.

Keegan’s office was massive. The room’s interior design was simple, and with the window walls installed, the lighting was great. Sunlight shined onto the desk through the blinds, casting dark shadows on Keegan’s face. He had dark brows and almond eyes. His sharp jawline and luscious lips were what Stella found attractive in a man. Her heart could not stop throbbing no matter how many times she stared at him.

“Are you just going to stand there?”
