Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 21
Chapter 21
It was clear to Ste 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
shest cooked for him.
When Ste 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. Ste 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, Ste 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, Ste 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.
Ste 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, Ste 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. Ste tried toe 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.”
Ste was speechless. ‘They obviously nned this and were waiting for me to take the bait,‘ she
thought. ‘But, I can’t escape now. Otherwise, this matter will nevere to an end.‘
A few minutester, she and Aldor arrived at the private kitchen. ‘This ce is much bigger than I
thought. It’s so tidy, and there are so many ingredients to use.
Ste 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?‘ Ste thought.
“Let her in.” Keegan’s cold voice came from inside. Aldor led Ste into the office, put the food on the
office desk, and went out of the room, closing the door behind him. Ste 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 Ste 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?”
