Big Novel

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2210
Stella paused, taking in Keegan's expression, a mix of upset and annoyance, and couldn't help but let out a laugh.
Initially just angry, Keegan's fury escalated upon hearing her laughter, sensing a hint of teasing behind it.
Was his refusal really that amusing? Why was she finding it so funny?
To Stella, Keegan's outburst seemed utterly endearing.
In the past, whenever he was displeased with something she did, he'd keep it to himself, leaving her to guess. But she wasn't a mind reader; how was she supposed to know?
Since she pointed out this flaw in Keegan, he had changed his approach.
Now, when he was upset, he didn't sulk in silence like before; instead, he waited for her response after expressing his feelings directly.
Keegan's expression tightened. 'What's so funny? You gave the good one to your brother and kept the inferior one for me. I don't mind coming after your dad, the twins and even money. But why should I come after Trevor? He punched me, and you're trying to appease him with the big one?"
Stella finally grasped it. Keegan's jealousy wasn't the only issue; his desire for attention was evident too. He was calculating, striving to secure a top spot in her heart.
If he wasn't in the top three, he wouldn't accept it, and being fourth was out of the question.
Stella couldn't contain her laughter, then recalled something and asked," How did you know I gave the big one to Trevor?"
This revelation hit Keegan even harder.
Ten minutes ago, Trevor unblocked Keegan and sent him a photo.
The photo depicted a clenched fist with an orange much larger than the fist placed above it.
Confused, Keegan texted Trevor to ask what it meant, but before the message could be sent, Trevor blocked him again.
Why would he unblock him just to send a strange photo?
It wasn't until Keegan got into the car and saw the orange in Stella's hands that he understood.
Same color, different size; the one Stella held was only as big as her fist, clearly smaller than Trevor's.
It could only mean one thing: Trevor wouldn't send him such a photo, so it must have come from Stella, who gave the big one to Trevor and the small one to him.
Trevor had openly mocked him; how could he stand for that?
At the very least, he deserved an average-sized one!
After hearing the explanation, Stella couldn't help but laugh and shed a tear.
She had thought her brother was dependable, but behind her back, he was treating Keegan like this.
That was why whenever Keegan used to mention Trevor, he would always assume Trevor was up to no good.
Stella whispered to him, "Bigger isn't always better. When I bought them, the fruit vendor told me that this year's smaller oranges from Preston are generally sweeter than the big ones. I deliberately saved the small one for you because I know you like sweet things."
As she spoke, she peeled a piece for him, saying, "Try it; it's soft, juicy, sweet, and delicious."
She brought it to Keegan's lips, watching him with soft, affectionate eyes.
