Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1473
Darcie took on the role of the lady of the house despite Wenham's initial reluctance. She often cited reasons like being good
friends with Freesia and not wanting to see Trevor suffer to make frequent visits to the Saun residence.
As a widower and a single mother, rumors began to circulate over time about their relationship. It did not take long for these
whispers to reach the ears of the Saun family elders.
"Grandma's health was deteriorating, and she was bedridden in her last few years. Darcie's own daughter could not bring herself
to serve her in such close quarters, but Darcie could. She not only cared for her meticulously but also personally tested the
alternative medicine
prescribed by the doctor to ensure its safety before Grandma took it," said Trevor.
Wenham's mother, Eleanor Albott, saw Darcie as a kind woman who knew how to manage a household. Thinking about her son,
who was reluctant to remarry, and her poor motherless grandson, she felt reassured knowing a woman like Darcie was looking
after them. So, she began to play Cupid.
Wenham was initially unwilling to marry Darcie; he even felt a bit repulsed. It was not until his mother was critically ill and about
to undergo surgery that he decided to marry Darcie. Otherwise, she would not agree to the operation. In order to appease his
mother, Wenham eventually consented.
"After the surgery, Grandma got better and insisted Dad fulfill his promise."
So, six years after Freesia's passing, Wenham married Darcie. The wedding was kept very low-key, as it was not a marriage
Wenham had willingly entered into from the start.
In the days after their wedding, they treated each other with respect. With a woman in the house, the lives of Wenham and
Trevor became more organized. Eleanor was also very happy with the outcome.
Five years into their marriage, Eleanor passed away. Wenham feelings for his new family had gradually grown over those five
years, especially toward Jaylene. Every time he saw her, he could not help but think of his own daughter, who he assumed had
died. 'If she were still alive, she would be around the same age,' he thought.
Humans are emotional creatures. Even if there was no romantic love after so many years of being together, there was always
familial love. And so, this family continued to exist.

"This version is different from what Keegan told me. In his version, Dad and Darcie gradually fell in love with each other," said
Stella.
Trevor chuckled. "That's just the story we tell outsiders. Who would want to let the world know they were pressured into
marriage?"
Stella paused. It seemed like there was an underlying meaning behind Trevor's words, hinting at something about Darcie.
She glanced at him. "What do you think of her?"
Trevor curtly said, "She's as sharp as a sword and a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Stella did not expect Trevor to be so direct with his words.
After some thought, Trevor added, "She's good to him though. When Dad was seriously injured at the mine years ago, her quick
thinking saved him. She did not care about the storm and brought him back to the city in the middle of the night. The doctors said
if it had been any later, they might not have been able to save him."
'If that was the case, why does she harbor such strong animosity toward me?' thought Stella. 'It's not like I would threaten her
position as Mrs. Saun.' This was something Stella could not fathom.
Soon, they arrived at the Saun residence. Situated in Clear Water Cove, the ecological environment was excellent, and the
atmosphere was serene. Stella did not get a good look at the place the last time she was there because it was already evening.
This time, she was able to appreciate the garden landscapes.
They both got out of the car after it came to a stop. As Trevor knocked on the door, Stella noticed two flowerpots covered with
plastic wrap not far from the entrance. Inside, there were two identical plants. They were short and delicate. They looked like
roses.
Stella found it a bit strange. Roses were tough plants and did not require insulation. Even if they withered in winter, they would
bounce back up in spring. They did not need protection.
Stella was about to ask Trevor about the flowers, but the doors opened. A woman in her forties called out, "Mr. Saun, Ms. Saun,
you're back."
