Chapter 1096
io, she asked in a different way, “How’s your shopping going?”
Mason glanced over and said, “Still need some cups,” he paused, then asked Celeste, “Are you busy? If not, can you help me pick ut a few? I’m not that good at choosing this kind of stuff”
Celeste checked the time. It was still early, so she said, “Sure, why not, I need to pick a couple myself.”
Mason casually asked, “Are they for Ms. Colton?
Celeste hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly chuckled, “Yeah.”
Actually, these items were for Liam’s new house. The villa was already decorated, but there was basically nothing inside, even utensils and toiletries were disposable ones brought by Owen.
Liam said they should pick out things together when they both have time, and move to this house after they remarry, because their grandmother said the living environment over here was good for a peaceful marriage and children’s growth.
She didn’t know why Liam, a non–believer, was recently always exploring some mysterious things, but she did enjoy shopping together
But she had to pick the cups herself, because Liam would definitely choose ugly ones. She had to buy them first.
Celeste put the stuff in the car, and got a ride with Mason to a nearby mall. Along the way, Mason occasionally asked about Celeste’s recent situation. She answered casually, looking very natural.
Lately, because of the commotion caused by Sydney falling down the stairs, especially after Sydney’s interview was made public, many people online demanded Celeste to apologize, but she didn’t respond even after a few days, which made people worried.
Mason considered for a moment, then said, “I know some PR friends, let me know if you need help.”
Celeste was taken aback for a moment, and then understood that he was talking about the recent public opinion storm. She smiled and said, “No need, I can handle it myself.”
“How do you plan to deal with it?” Mason asked casually.
Celeste opened her mouth, then closed it, and mysteriously said, “It’s a secret, you’ll know tomorrow.”
Mason smiled and didn’t ask any more questions
The car soon arrived at the mall’s underground parking lot, Mason parked the car, and they both got on the elevator. It was close to the holidays, the mall was crowded, and there were a lot of people waiting for the elevator, including many parents taking their children, and quite a few college students on vacation.
As soon as the elevator door opened, people rushed in after those inside walked out, Celeste was almost pushed in. She turned her head to see if Mason had come in, and heard his voice from above, “Come stand over here.”
He slightly raised his arm, making a bit of space for her, Celeste squeezed through and stood in the corner.
in front of her was Mason, and there were people behind and to the right, and to the left were two young girls, who had been whispering since they got in.
When the elevator started, a woman holding a child next to her lost her balance and swayed backwards, Celeste was startled and quickly supported her
The woman, after the scare, steadied herself, turned to Celeste and thanked her. Then, she gently rocked the child in her arms, and quietly said, “Go on, say thank you”
The child blinked at Celeste, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her mask.
The woman was startled and quickly pulled the child’s hand away, apologizing awkwardly, Tm sorry, I’m sorry, the child might have just woken up, he’s a bit dazed”
She said, gently patting the child’s butt, “How can you be so impolite? What have I been teaching you? Apologize now.”
