Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 9


    Chapter 9


    Ste’s eyebrows twitched violently. ‘If it wasn’t because I had a favor to ask, I would’ve kicked this


    motherfucker out of the car! He would’ve been fine if he didn’t have a mouth. I’ll just pretend he’s a dog


    barking!’ Ste told herself. Ste ignored the sharp-tongued being beside her. After typing out the


    potpourri recipe, she sent it to Aldor. “You can go to this shop called Scents on Cornelia Avenue. They


    have a wide range of potpourri ingredients, so they’ll get the job done in one go.” “Alright. Thank you,


    madam.” Since Keegan did not get a response from Ste, he felt a little bored and stopped


    talking. About 20 minutester, they arrived at the restaurant. Just as Ste was going to get out of the


    car, Keegan abruptly tugged on her wrist. She quickly pulled her wrist back out of reflex. “Don’t


    move!” Keegan’s grip was firm, so Ste could not retract her arm at all. When she was about to


    question him, she felt something cold on her ring finger. There was a diamond ring on her finger. Ste


    froze momentarily. ‘It’s the wedding ring from when we got married. I left it behind when I moved out of


    Royalpark Vi. This is the first time Keegan’s putting on a wedding ring for me. On the day we got


    married, Be appeared. Keegan left before the ceremony was even finished, so I had to put on the


    ring myself,’ she thought. “I’m just worried that mom will ask questions. Don’t overthink it.” Keegan


    released his grip on her hand. Hearing his haughty voice, Ste snapped out of her thoughts. She


    pursed her lips and retracted her arm. Then, she responded indifferently, “You worry too much, Mr.


    Kane. I know where I stand.” After she finished her sentence, she opened the door and got out of the


    car. Keegan frowned and followed her out with a dark expression. Keegan had a sister—Aurora Kane


    —who graduated from college this year. She went on a graduation trip with her friends two months ago


    and just returned yesterday. Since she was the youngest child in the Kane family, and her father died


    soon after her birth, the elders in the family spoiled her. She grew into a person with a bossy


    personality. When Ste first married into the family, she genuinely wanted to get along well with her


    sister-inw. She catered to all of Aurora’s interests in hopes of improving their rtionship. However,


    Aurora did not buy it. Her attitude toward Ste when they were with elders differed from when they


    were alone. Over the years, their rtionship did not get better but even stiffer. Since Keegan lovedAll content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Aurora, Ste was destined to be the one aggrieved. ‘Now that I think about it, Keegan and I probably


    wouldn’tst even if there wasn’t Be Young. From our family background to our moralpasses,


    we have nothing inmon,’ thought Ste. The waiter quickly led them to their pre-booked private


    room. When they pushed the door open and entered, they saw Aurora talking to Dahlia. The mother


    and daughter looked quite alike, except Dahlia had the appeal of a mature woman and an air of


    elegance. Meanwhile, Aurora looked much tender. When Aurora saw Ste, her expression


    immediately changed. However, she instantly put on a sweet smile when she was faced with Keegan.


    She said to him coyly, “Keegan! I’m about to starve to death, but mom insisted that we wait for you.


    What took you so long?” Keegan nced at her. “Wipe the oil stain on your mouth. That’ll make your


    words sound more convincing.” Aurora was speechless. “You’re so annoying! I thought of you


    throughout my trip and even brought you a souvenir!” The brother and sister argued for a bit before


    Dahlia finally stopped them, “Alright, stop arguing. Have a seat.” Then, she nced at Ste, “Ste,


    tell the waiter at the door to serve the dishes.” The truth was that the waiter could actually hear them.


    However, Dahlia wanted Ste to do it simply because she was used to ordering her around. Back


    when they all stayed at Keegan’s grandparents’ residence, Ste would sit at the far end of the table.


    This was because it was easier for her to get up and retrieve things for others. Ste had gotten used


    to it. Just as she was about to go outside, Keegan tugged on her wrist. However, he did not look at her.


    He turned to Aurora, “You go, Aurora. And, tell the waiter to bring a bottle of red wine.” Aurora


    immediately made a long face and looked incredibly reluctant. “Wasn’t Ste about to go?” Keegan


    responded indifferently, “She doesn’t know the wine mom likes.” However, Ste did not go along with


    him. She struggled out of his grip, “I know. Trockenbeerenauslese, right?” Dahlia nodded. Ste turned


    around and walked out. She did not need to turn around to see how unhappy he looked. After Ste


    finished speaking to the waiter and was about to enter the room, she heard Aurora’s voiceing


    through the door. “Don’t underestimate this wife of yours, Keegan. Not only does she know what mom


    likes, but she also knows what grandma likes very well. She’s doing whatever she can to get into the


    high society. I really don’t know what grandma was thinking when she agreed to let you marry her.


    She’s miles behind Be Young.” Ste’s hand paused from pushing the door open. Then, she heard


    Keegan say, “Whoever I marry is the same.”
