Chapter 1116
Nicolas smiled and nodded, moving aside with his phone, “If you feel uncomfortable, go talk to Celeste. Tell her that you’re not feeling well. Don’t force her to do something. Make her care for you!
Dating requires skills, don’t be stubborn and keep things from her Let her know, even exaggerate the facts, got it?
If a third party appears in the relationship, your target should be your partner, not the third party! Only fools target the third party It makes you look ridiculous and helps the third party achieve their goal.”
Liam corrected, “There’s no third party. She only likes me.”
“Right, she likes you, then go talk to her. I’ve got to go. My ride’s here, catch you later.”
Seeing Trisha coming over, Nicolas quickly hung up the phone.
Liam held his phone, mulling over Nicolas’s words, seemingly enlightened.
When Celeste came out after a shower, she saw Liam changing the duvet cover.
She was surprised. For someone like Liam, changing a duvet cover was as difficult as climbing the sky because he couldn’t even distinguish the front from the back of a sheet.
She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and while drying her hair she said, “We’ve only used this duvet cover for a few days. Why change it?”
As he changed the cover, Liam said, “Didn’t you complain yesterday that it was a bit rough?”
“I just said it was a bit rough.”
Celeste helped him with the corner of the blanket, “I used to tell you to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom up and put the dirty clothes in the laundry basket, but you always forget. Today, you actually noticed the rough duvet cover. Do you have something on your mind that’s making you pay more attention to me?”
Liam said, “There is indeed something.”
Celeste paused, “What is it?”
Liam sighed, “It’s about today, reminding me of something you said before, and I feel guilty.”
Celeste found it strange, “What did I say to you?”
“You said, every time something happens, I’m not there for you. I clearly promised there wouldn’t be a next time, but today it happened again.”
Liam originally wanted Celeste to feel sorry for him, but when he actually said it, he felt regret. He was indeed absent at some
crucial moments.
Celeste completely agreed, “In TV dramas, the male leads are always heroes, they always show up when the female lead is in trouble. Compared to them, you really suck. You should give me ten bodyguards, with protection in the front and back when i go out, and have the car made of bulletproof glass.”
Liam asked, “Are you mocking me?”
Celeste chuckled, “Don’t think of me as some damsel in distress. Part of what I said earlier was just me blowing off steam. The only times I was really pissed were during the car accident and the day my mother passed away. The former left me disappointed, the latter desperate.”
Liam seemed to have chosen the wrong way to draw sympathy, opting to dredge up old wounds.
To avoid upsetting his girlfriend further by bringing up the past. Liam decided to do something to please her instead. He stopped dilly–dallying, cleared his throat, and said, “The milk should be warmed up by now. I’ll go get it.”
Liam took his sweet time, and by the time he returned, Celeste had already tidied up the blanket
Taking the milk from Liam, Celeste took a sip before saying. “Next time you Google how to draw sympathy, remember to clear your browsing history”
