Chapter 1105
“You’re overthinking it,” Celeste explained, “If I wanted to avoid suspicion, I wouldn’t have gone to buy the cups when you first asked me. I just wasn’t freezing, not like you thought.”
She’s the kind of person who easily forgets past experiences.
When Mason invited her to pick out cups, she had actually forgotten Liam’s previous warning. Now that Mason wanted to put a jacket on her, she suddenly felt slightly ambiguous, hence her reaction.
But Mason’s expression and movements were very natural You wouldn’t think he had any other intentions towards her
Also, she always felt that Mason wouldn’t like a girl like her
He’s a gentleman who would either like a demure girl or a rebellious, outgoing one.
Obviously, she was neither.
She was just a girl with a bit of a weird personality especially when it came to dating.
Hearing her say this, Mason simply smiled, “All right, looks like I was the one overthinking it After pausing, he said, “Wait for me Then he turned back to the car and came back after a while with a gift box in hand, handing it to Celeste, These are the cups you picked out earlier.”
Celeste was surprised, “When did you buy them?”
“When you were choosing, I asked them to pack them up. Even if you didn’t want them, I would buy them anyway, so I brought them along”
Celeste laughed, “I’ll transfer the money to you later.”
Mason just smiled and didn’t respond, only saying. “Get in the car, drive carefully. If you feel unwell, stop immediately. When you get home, drop me a message.”
Celeste nodded, “Okay, you drive carefully too.”
After saying goodbye, Celeste drove away. Mason turned around to drive home only after her car disappeared from view.
On the way, Liam called.
Celeste answered the call hands–free, driving and saying. “Liam, are you done?”
“Where are you? Liam’s voice was very serious, even trembling with anger.
But he was trying to suppress it
Celeste sensed his mood, guessing he probably already knew about the altercation she had had at the mall.
She had just left the hospital not too long ago when the news of her altercation at the mall had already made hot news. Her phone was full of unread messages and missed calls, some caring, some wanting to see a spectacle She didn’t reply to any.
Liam probably knew about this too, so he called Celeste.
Celeste said quietly, “I’m on my way home. I bought fish that sold for three dollars per 500g, so stop saying I’m too stingy to buy good stuff for you.”
Liam was somewhat helpless and amused, “Is that the point?”
Celeste said softly, “Didn’t you text me mocking me for always being too stingy to buy good stuff for you?”
Although Liam was somewhat angry, he couldn’t bring himself to be angry at Celeste. He should be helping her get justice, not blaming her.
“How’s your wound?”
“My wound is almost healed; it’s only as big as a fingernail, so don’t worry.” She tried to downplay her injury, afraid that Liam would
worry
Liam pursed his lips.
He knew this was definitely not a minor injury.
From his understanding of Celeste, she was the type who would always fuss over minor injuries but would always downplay
serious ones.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for others, nor did she want others to worry

Liam’s throat choked up momentarily, then he spoke again, “Where are you now?”
“Just passed Danu River”
