Chapter 1037
They could dine together, but only if Ms. Campbell’s partner was present.
So, when Leonard got all dolled up for their date, the first thing he saw upon entering was Celeste leaning in to whisper something to Liam
No idea what they were nattering about, but Celeste gave Liam’s hand a little pinch, and Liam took the opportunity to pull her hand into his own.
Then he turned towards the entrance and greeted, “Leonard, you’ve arrived
This greeting made Leonard recall his fear of Steven Garcia, who always spoke to him in a fatherly tone.
Leonard didn’t have a high opinion of Liam, thinking the guy was a little dumb. He managed to bag himself such a beautiful woman, yet he didn’t appreciate her and even divorced her.
Upon seeing Leonard, Celeste lifted her gaze and waved him over, ‘Sit down, we haven’t ordered yet. Have a look at the menu.”
Leonard, who initially wanted to leave, paused, closed the door, and strode over
With Liam and Celeste sitting on one side, Leonard pulled out a chair and sat across from Celeste.
Celeste pushed the menu towards him and said in a friendly tone, “The food here is pretty good, give it a try.”
Leonard murmured, “I’m not fussy about food. Order whatever you like.”
Celeste laughed and said. “Better be a bit picky, I know you celebs have strict diets. Order what you can, and I’ll add what I want later”
Leonard didn’t decline any further and began to browse the menu seriously
Liam observed the young man in his early twenties sitting before him.
He figured this lad probably didn’t know Celeste was his cousin and might even see him as a love rival.
Looking at the dishes that Leonard had chosen, Liam’s eyebrows knitted together.
They were all Celeste’s favorites
That bastard Steven, in his attempts to keep him at bay, ended up harming his own cousin.
When Leonard finished ordering and handed the menu to Celeste, she was surprised, “We have similar tastes. I want to eat everything you ordered.”
Leonard thought, I have watched your interviews. How could I not know what you like?
But he calmly said, “What a coincidence”
“Is the wound on your back all healed?” Celeste asked.
Leonard wanted to say it had healed a long time ago, but after glancing at Liam, he changed his answer, “There are still some scars, and it hurts a bit when it rains. But it’s not a problem usually
Liam’s eyelids twitched.
It was a skin injury, not a bone injury How could it be affected by the weather?
However, Celeste didn’t criticize Leonard’s “childishness“. She straightforwardly said. “If you’re recovering this slowly at such a young age, is it because your agent doesn’t let you eat properly? That won’t do. Healing depends on food. You need to eat well for the wound to heal faster. Let’s order more food.”
Leonard went silent
Liam was calm, even slightly amused
He poured a glass of wine for Leonard and said casually, “You haven’t changed much since you were a kid.”
Leonard was surprised, “Are you sure you haven’t mistaken me for someone else? I’ve never met you before”
Liam said at a leisurely pace, “Your father, Sheldon Hann, used to live at my house, and your mother, Henry, was my teacher. At that time, I used to call your father ‘brother‘, so technically, you should call me ‘uncle
