Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 287
‘Seriously?’ Stella thought.
Out of awkwardness, Marshall scratched his forehead with his finger and said, “I tried my best to negotiate with them, but they
said they don’t have any food because it’s not mealtime yet. They did say they could give us the ingredients if we wanted to cook
for ourselves, though.” ‘No way. I’m here to have fun on the cruise, and I still have to cook my own meals?’
“I’ll just wait for mealtime.”
Unhelpfully, her stomach grumbled right after she spoke.
Stella smoothed out her clothes, as she was slightly embarrassed. Then, she said, “Let’s just leave.”
“Wait,” Marshall said as he took off his suit. “Can you help me hold this for a while?”
Stella was confused, but she took his suit from him.
Marshall folded up the sleeves of his white shirt. He then added water to the pan that the chef had given him and swiftly lit the
stove.
Stella was astonished. “You want to cook something yourself?”
Marshall nodded. “Is spaghetti fine?”
Stella wanted to nod too, but she came to her senses and quickly shook her head. “No, no. You don’t need to cook. Why would I
ask you to cook? Mealtime is almost here. Let’s just wait for a while.”
“It’s two hours away.”
here with you in
Marshall dropped the spaghetti into the pan as he spoke. “I came all the way here with search of food. I would feel bad if you
went back on an empty stomach.”
Stella regretted asking Marshall for food. ‘I should’ve just kept quiet. We’re all here to have fun. It’s unreasonable to let him cook
for me.’

Marshall noticed that Stella was fidgeting uncomfortably, so he tried to distract her by talking to her.
“I always wanted to ask. How did you and Keegan meet?”
Sure enough, Stella’s attention was diverted.
“We met on a blind date.”
They did, in fact, meet on a blind date, but that was not the first time Stella had laid eyes on Keegan.
The first time she saw him was when she and her mother got into a car accident.
After the crash, the car was flipped to the side. Rainee was thrown out of the car while Stella was trapped inside. She was
unable to move.
Before the emergency responders could reach the scene, Stella passed out due to her excessive bleeding.
In a daze, she felt someone breaking the car window, unfastened her seatbelt, and dragged her out of the car.
She peered through the blurriness to take a glace, and it was at that moment, that Keegan’s face was ingrained in her brain.
That was why, when she went on the blind date later on, she almost immediately fell for him after realizing that it was Keegan.
Since he saved her life once and looked exactly like her ideal type, it was natural for Stella to be attracted to him.
“The fact that Keegan was willing to help a stranger proves that he can’t be too bad of a person.
When Keegan asked for her hand in marriage, she quickly made her decision only after a few seconds of consideration.
At the time, her friends who knew about it tried to advise her against it.
They told her not to decide so hastily and that she was too young. Getting married right after graduating without any social
experience would put her at a great disadvantage.
Moreover, they told her that she barely had time to get to know Keegan. It would be too rash to entrust him with the rest of her
life just because he saved her once.

But, rebellion was always a quality that was deeply rooted in human nature. So, everyone’s disagreement only made Stella even
more determined to prove that she made the right choice. In her heart, Stella secretly kept a score of Keegan. She hoped that
one day, she would collect enough merit points for Keegan to show him off to her friends, and prove that she was right for liking
Keegan.
Keegan was good-looking; +10 points.
Keegan was bad-tempered; -1 point.
Keegan had a nice voice; +100 points.
Keegan came home late without calling her; -10 points.
