Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1960

Chapter 1960

“Stella, I’ve saved a lot of money. Can I take you out to play tomorrow? No Uncle Keegan this time,” Coco said via voice message.

Stella paused for a moment, then grinned. “Sure, but I’ve got something going on during the day. Can we meet up in the evening?”

Coco, who hadn’t slept yet, texted almost instantly, [Okay!]

Perhaps feeling she was too forward, she took a while to type another message, [Stella, why are you not asleep yet?]

[Just waiting for your Uncle Keegan,] Stella replied.

[Is he working overtime again?] Coco questioned.

[Sort of.]

Coco then sent another voice message saying, “You’re a nice person, Stella.”

Stella was confused.

“Uncle Keegan said you’re a good-looking, a good cook, and a good actor. Now that I’ve met you, I think you’re better than he described. Chatting with you is great. You’re good at comforting me. And you’re nice because you wait for Uncle Keegan. Everything about you is nice. I really like you,” Coco explained.

Taken aback, Stella thought, ‘Do kids these days throw compliments around like nothing?’ She blushed.

But she had a question to ask Coco, so she just called Coco, “Coco, when’s your birthday?”

“Tomorrow.”

Her response left Stella stunned. “Tomorrow?”

“Uncle Keegan says I can pick any day for my birthday. If I wanna celebrate it tomorrow while hanging out with you, then tomorrow it is.”

Stella rubbed her temples and said, “Sweetie, I’m asking about the birthday on your records.”
