Chapter 1009
Liam was stumped. Despite it making sense, he couldn’t help saying. “But she shouldn’t just casually mention breaking up.”
Owen responded, “People often say things they don’t mean when they’re angry. Didn’t you just tell an old colleague to take a vacation because you were mad? But you didn’t actually want to fire him, you were just angry”
Liam frowned, then after a while he said, “Why do I feel like you’re always defending her?”
Owen thought to himself, if I badmouth her now, then when you two make up. I’ll be the first one in trouble
But he still said very objectively“, “Your wife is a poor girl. She has no parents, no one to rely on Regardless of who is wrong, after a fight with you, she has no one to vent to or comfort her I just hope you guys can avoid fights if possible She’s a rational person. She must regret it and is waiting for your call
Hearing “no parents, no one to rely on“, Liam’s displeasure vanished, leaving only regret and worry
He took out his phone and immediately called Celeste.
After two rings, the call was hung up
Liam was taken aback and called again, only to be hung up on again
Celeste was not picking up his calls.
He looked at Owen, full of doubt. This wasn’t what he said would happen, was it?
Owen coughed. “Right after a fight, you should call her immediately. Now it’s been two or three hours. She was just a little angry before, but now she’s really angry It’s normal that she’s not picking up. When apologizing to your girlfriend, don’t procrastinate. The longer you wait, the less they want to wait.”
Liam, So what should I do?”
“Go see her in person tomorrow morning and apologize”
Liam thought about it and didn’t dwell on it any longer. After all, it was late and he couldn’t explain clearly over the phone without causing another fight.
So he transferred 500,000 to Celeste with the note “Have a good sleep”
Celeste was still waiting for Liam’s call When she saw the transfer, she was surprised.
She transferred back a penny with the note “I can’t sleep”
Liam quickly transferred another amount, with the note “How about now?”
Celeste bit her lip to hold back a laugh and replied, ‘Getting sleepy”
Liam transferred another million, “How about now?”
Celeste replied, “Already asleep, don’t disturb.”
Liam chuckled.
Owen leaned in, “Did your wife reply to you?”
Liam put away his phone, glanced at him and said. “Your guess was not accurate.”
Owen was confused.
Liam calmly said. “She was easier to console than you said. By the way, have you checked on Steven Garcia’s recent activities? What did you find?”
Owen snapped back to reality, “Steven hasn’t been doing anything special. He’s either working or playing He does frequently visit your wife, but he never stays long. He always brings gifts”
“Gifts? What kind of gifts?” Liam was on alert, Jewelry?”
“Well actually no. Mostly just food and drinks. The most expensive thing was a massage chair It’s a promotional product from one of their company’s contracted artists. He personally delivered it to her Owen frowned, “It’s like he’s raising a daughter”
Liam’s eyelid twitched involuntanly. They re not that far apart in age”
“True, but overall, Steven’s behavior is very father like,” he paused, then added, “By the way, I heard Steven is looking for someone.”
‘Looking for someone? Liam frowned, “Who is he looking for?”
Owen frowned. “Apparently it’s a hospital worker, someone who was present when his mother gave birth to him years ago. He’s keeping it very secret. I didn’t even notice until a friend saw his picture and told me. Someone is paying him to help find them”
Liam found it strange Why would he want to find the midwife from over many years ago? is Steven suspecting something about his biological mother’s death?
“Here are the files on those people”
Owen handed him the files. Liam flipped through a few pages, then suddenly saw a photo of a child
He frowned, “Why is Letti’s photo in here?”
Owen was taken aback, “I didn’t put a photo of Letti in there he looked over and was even more surprised, “Mr. Reed, this is a photo of Steven when he was young.”

Liam abruptly paused, his face tuming serious
