Chapter 111
Sugar was a descendant of a champion racehorse, and its proud bloodline couldn’t stand this kind of humiliation. The more it got whipped, the more it fought back.
The farm owner thought it had gone crazy and wanted to send it to be euthanized, but it broke free and ran wild in the streets.
The old lady happened to be sitting in her car and, fearing that she might hit the horse, asked the driver to stop.
Cops quickly arrived on the scene and shot it with a tranquilizer gun. Even though its body had lost control and was about to collapse, the little horse still stood there, panting heavily, staring at everyone with its defiant eyes.
It was that gaze that touched the old lady’s heart, and she spent a thousand pounds to buy it back from the farm owner.
Everyone thought that if a professional horse trainer couldn’t handle it, what could an old lady do to tame it?
But the day the old lady took it away, the little horse stared at her for a long time, then suddenly lowered its head and nuzzled her cheek.
Everyone was shocked, but the old lady wasn’t surprised, so she happily led her little horse back home.
Perhaps because it had been whipped since it was young, Sugar was very wary of strangers. Apart from the old lady, it only allowed Liam to touch it.
The old lady said it was because they had similar temperaments.
Celeste thought it made perfect sense.
“Granny, you must be joking. Every time I go to see Sugar, it ignores me. It should eat better when I’m not around.” Celeste said.
The old lady laughed, “If Sugar didn’t like you, why would it eat the food you brought? Sugar doesn’t eat what Kaylee feeds it, and even spits it all over her.” Thinking of that scene, Celeste couldn’t help but laugh too.
“Come over later and have lunch here. You can ride and play with it. Otherwise, Sugar will get depressed.” Grandma insisted.
The old lady’s words made it hard for her to refuse.
“Okay, I’ll be there in a bit Celeste said.
After hanging up the phone, she gave it back to Liam without saying a word, and went upstairs to freshen up.
When she finished and came downstairs, Liam was standing by the door, tying his tie
Celeste tried to sneak past him to change her shoes, but Liam turned around and blocked her way. “Help me tie my tie.”
Before, she would have done it without him even asking. To her, these little things were all about enhancing the bond between husband and wife.
But now, she was about to divorce him, and he still dared to ask her for help?
So she retorted, “Don’t you have your own hands?”
“Yeah,” Liam didn’t get angry and calmly replied, “I just want to make my ten billion worth a little more.”
Celeste
She reluctantly took the tie Liam handed her and glared at him, “Lower your neck.”
Liam….
As he bent down, he couldn’t help but tease her, “Forgot you were short.”
Celeste wanted to strangle him with the tie so that he couldn’t use this sharp tongue of his!
She lowered her head and carefully tied his tie for him.
Liam looked down at her without blinking.
Celeste hadn’t put on any makeup, just some lipstick. But her skin was smooth, and her eyebrows and eyes were very delicate. Just wearing lipstick made her look radiant
She had just taken a shower, so her body had a faint scent, not like shampoo or perfume. That smell was like the little white flowers blooming in the spring grass, with a faint fragrance and the fresh smell of grass after the rain.
He wanted to get closer
Celeste let go of her hands, “There, Mr. Reed, was the ten billion worth it?”
Liam looked in the mirror and commented, “Not bad”
