Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Keegan understood that Jaylene wasn't asking to be close friends; she wanted a romantic relationship with him.
From the moment he woke up and encountered Jaylene, Keegan realized her intentions.
He didn't have any romantic feelings for Jaylene, yet oddly, he found it difficult to outright reject her.
Although he had indirectly rejected her, a nagging voice in his mind urged him to take back his words.
'That's not what Jaylene wanted to hear.' Suddenly, the sound of wind chimes interrupted Keegan's thoughts.
Then he heard Jaylene speak in a hoarse voice, "Keegan, you know that's not what I meant.
I like you..." Her eyes teared up as she spoke, and Keegan felt an instinct to reach out to comfort her, but before he could, Stella
arrived.
“We can leave now." Keegan's mind cleared instantly, yet he didn't retract his hand.
Instead, he gently patted Jaylene's shoulder and advised, "You should wear something warm.
It's chilly outside." Jaylene's eyes grew even redder.
With an expressionless face, Stella tossed her bag to Keegan and left the house.
It wasn't clear if Keegan was speaking to Jaylene, but it took him a full three minutes to emerge from the house.
Stella was already seated in the car.
Upon seeing Keegan approach, she turned her head away.
Keegan got into the car and instructed Aldor to drive.
Aldor acknowledged and started the car.
Not long after, Keegan reached for a water bottle.
Stella noticed and remarked, "Is the water cold?" Keegan nodded.
“Let me warm it for you.

Drinking cold water isn't good for your health," Stella suggested.
Keegan raised an eyebrow.
Even Aldor was stunned.
Stella seemed to be adopting a new attitude by overly pampering Keegan.
"It's okay," Keegan responded dismissively.
'This water bottle is quite cold.
How can I let her...' “T insist," Stella said with a smile.
"I'm not bothered by the cold.
Look at how many layers I'm wearing.
I'm quite warm right now.
My body temperature could fry an egg.
I can warm up a bottle of water." Her words rendered Keegan speechless.
Aldor was still trying to figure out the situation.
"Mrs.
Kane, do you have a fever? Your attire doesn't seem suitable for the weather.
Ww "Huh?" Stella adjusted her clothes, looking surprised.
"Isn't this much thicker than what Jaylene was wearing? She dresses lightly and might catch a cold easily.
But I'm healthy and strong, even being pregnant.
I could run a triathlon." Aldor finally understood Stella's intentions.
She wasn't asking about Keegan's water for his benefit; she was being petty.

‘If I had to guess, Mr.Kane must have mentioned something about Jaylene's clothing.
That's why Stella is making these sarcastic comments,' thought Aldor.
"Here," Stella reached for the water bottle in Keegan's hand.
"Let me warm it for you." Keegan gently held her wrist and after a moment, said, "I was just being courteous to her earlier.
Don't read too much into it." Stella's expression changed.
"Then, what about me? You've been holding my hand for a while.
Can't you tell if I'm cold?"
