Chapter 1095
Celeste casually asked, “Why don’t you eat it? Don’t you like the texture of fish?”
Mason was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled, “When I was a kid, I went fishing with Nicolas without finishing my homework. My family found it out, and in order to teach me not to neglect studies for play, they made me kill the fish I caught. The scene was too vivid, I can’t eat fish ever since then, feeling a bit guilty”
Celeste was so straightforward, always unintentionally touching Mr Fletcher’s wounds
Celeste loved playing as a child, but Caitlyn’s severest punishment was just a slap on the hand or not letting her have dinner
Who could force their kids to kill fish just to teach them not to play?
What kind of parenting was that?
“Don’t think like that,” Celeste cautiously whispered, “It’s normal for kids to love playing. Who doesn’t like playing as a kid? I used to lie to my mom that I was practicing piano, but actually, I snuck out to play I got spanked many times
Celeste stopped halfway, not knowing how to continue. Her punishments and Mason’s punishments were not comparable She finally managed to say, “But I remember the food, not the beatings. Once the wound healed, I would forget the pain and continue playing You shouldn’t keep remembering the past, if you want to play, just play. The more you remember it, the less happy you will be. Life is only a few decades, and you can’t always remember what makes you unhappy, you should think more about happy things.
Mason saw her round eyes, trying hard to comfort him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted.
He whispered, “You’re right, I’ll try buying a fish then.”
Celeste quickly stopped him, “Hold on, don’t rush; take it slow. You can’t walk out of one trouble and fall into another. You need to keep yourself in the most comfortable state, don’t listen to what others say”
Mason felt a warmth in his heart, softly saying. “You’re good at comforting people.”
Celeste remained silent.
“I feel like you’re mocking me with that.” After all, she was the one who always brought up others‘ wounds first.
Mason chuckled, “I’m serious.”
Celeste noticed he was holding a lot of stuff and asked, “Why did you buy so much?”
Mason replied, “Thanksgiving is a very important holiday in our family. Everyone needs to gather and have a reunion dinner. Our family has many branches, and they will all come over. My mom can’t handle it all by herself. I happen to have some free time these days, so I’m helping her with the shopping.”
Celeste wanted to say they could hire someone to do the shopping, but before she could say anything, she remembered what Liam had told her about how Mason’s brother had gotten into trouble while preparing a welcome party for Krista Fletcher at home Old Mr. Fletcher had sent Shanna Fletcher to do the shopping, and something had happened.
Their family’s strange tradition had a long history. As an outsider, she had to keep her mouth shut
