Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 249
Chapter 249
Marshall said, “How does Japanese sound?” Then, he turned to the two beside him, “What do you two
want to eat?”
Ste said, “Sure. There’s a pretty good Japanese restaurant at Elias Street.”
“How about you, Keegan?” Marshall asked Keegan.
Keegan did not answer. Instead, he asked Ste, “I thought you didn’t like Japanese food?”
Marshall was a little surprised.
“If you don’t like Japanese food, we’ll have something else. I was just suggesting.”
Ste rolled her eyes at Keegan, “Nope, don’t listen to him. He doesn’t even know what I like. I love
Japanese food.”
Keegan frowned as his gaze darkened. Then, he stopped talking and had a tense expression.
‘Marshall loves Japanese food. I can tell from his extensive knowledge of Japanese cuisine. Besides
that, his dining etiquette is incredibly elegant. Previously, we ate together at a cheap eatery in front of
my college, but I didn’t feel a thing. It was probably due to the environment at the time. Now we’re
dining at a Japanese with an elegant environment, and he’s throwing me for a loop. He actually uses
cutlery to peel shrimps!’ thought Ste.
Marshall first used a fork to hold the bottom of the shrimp and remove it. Next, he used a knife to slit a
small opening on the back of the shrimp. Then, he used a fork to take out the shrimp meat within.
Finally, he used a knife to cut the shrimp meat into smaller slices before putting them into his mouth
and savoring them.
The shrimp shells he had peeled were neatly ced in a row on the table.
‘I used to think the actors on TV exaggerated the table manners of the wealthy. But it looks like all of it
were real. In the past, I never thought the way I ate looked bad, butpared with Marshall, I’m like a
person who fled from famine and had never seen food. I peel shrimps with my mouth, scoop caviar with
a spoon, and downed the entire bowl of soup at once……’ she thought.
Marshall watched as Ste stared at the shrimps he had peeled in a daze. Heughed and said, Is it
really that unappetizing to eat with me?”
Then only did Ste realize she was openly observing him. She coughed and said, “That’s not it. It just
feels like I’m watching a tutorial.”
Marshallughed.
“I grew up in a family with a strict upbringing. There were rules for eating, sleeping, and everything.
Once you get used to something, it’s hard to change your habits,” he said.
Ste smiled with her eyes, “It isn’t. Get yourself a girlfriend who eats appetizingly, and you’ll fix it after
having meals with her for a few years. When Keegan and I got married, he ate noodles with a fork.
Nowadays, he even uses his hands when eating fried chicken.”
Right after she spoke, Keegan choked on his food and started coughing. He had a dark expression as
he said, “I used my hands because you used my fork to dig the soil for your flowers!”
Ste defended herself.
“Didn’t I get you a new one after that? But you still didn’t use it.”
‘And she has the nerve to bring it up! How could I use a fork that costs nine ny?! She’s even saving
money on this!’ he thought.
The truth was, it was not that Ste was saving money. So she searched online for forks with the same
designs as Keegan’s. The one that popped up was the nine-ny design. Besides, it looked the same
as the original fork.
Ste only learned after the incident that Keegan’s cutlery set was a custom-made design. One fork
already cost a few grand.
Marshall asked curiously, “You grow flowers?”
At the mention of flowers, Ste felt particrly proud.
“I’ve grown dozens of species; our balcony is almost full.”
Ever since Ste was a child, she loved gardening. She enjoyed the fresh scent natural nts.
emanated.
“Have you grown Clivias before?”
“I have; there are two pots of Clivias at home. They grew their flower buds this year, so they’ll bloom in
a month or two.
Marshall said, “I’ve got a Clivia at home, but I don’t know why its leaves suddenly started wilting and
growing spots on arge scale. It won’t seem to go away.”
“Is it Anthrose?”
“I’m not sure either. Does Anthrose show these symptoms?”
Ste earnestly educated Marshall.
Since Marshall was the type of person who was open to learning, he would carefully listen when others
were speaking and ask questions from time to time. A positive interaction like this would make the
speaker feel at ease.
Ste spoke in detail about every aspect of the Clivia nt, from its growth habits to the frequency of
watering and fertilizing it and ways to control its various diseases.
Meanwhile, Keegan sat beside them and could not join the conversation.
‘Previously, when she wanted a divorce, she still watered the flowers when she ran away from home.
Why didn’t she have this much to tell me?” thought Keegan.
“Based on the things you said, it should be Anthrose…”
However, Ste did not dare to conclude since she had not seen the nt.

“Why don’t you bring the nt and show it to me whenever you’re free? Then, if that’s inconvenient,
you could snap a photo too.”
“It’s not inconvenient; I’m just worried I’ll trouble you.”
“What’s there to trouble?”
‘If you feel bad, you could give me a discount for thewyer’s fees,’ she thought.
However, Ste could not say so because Keegan was also present.
She said, “It’s nothing. You’re Keegan’s friend.”
