Chapter 1158
It appeared that Jarred had a finger on the pulse of what was going on with Celeste. He knew about Celeste and Liam when he returned to the country.
How could he know so quickly if he wasn’t keeping tabs on her?
Was he spying on Celeste all along?
A soap opera–like love triangle instantly played out in Trisha’s mind, and she couldn’t wait to call Nicolas to enjoy this drama.
Celeste furrowed her brows, “This is my business. I don’t have to explain everything to you, do I?”
Jarred smiled casually, “I was just curious. I don’t think you broke up with him because of Liam. You always seemed pretty cut and dry about these things.”
Trisha was flabbergasted. What did he mean? Did Celeste break up with him?
“Are you done? If you are, I’m leaving
As Celeste was about to leave after putting down her tray, Jarred stopped her, handed her a mango pudding, and said, “It’s great to see you again.”
Without waiting for a response, he left.
Celeste looked at the pudding in her hand and put it back where it came from.
She looked up to see Trisha’s stunned face, “You can’t tell Liam, or we’re done as friends!”
Trisha immediately raised her hand in a gesture of promise, “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed!”
Then she asked in a whisper, “Did you break up with him?”
Celeste confirmed, “I broke up with him, and he agreed. We ended things amicably.”
“Why? He seemed like your type, and he seems nicer than Liam.”
Celeste sighed, “He told me that his family wanted him to study abroad, so I broke up with him.”
Trisha was shocked
“Just like that?”
“He’s going to study abroad, I can’t go with him, and he won’t change his decision because of me. Long–distance is hard, let alone international. We don’t even fully know each other yet. Do you think our relationship could survive for long?”
“I broke up with him because I didn’t want to waste our time. Both of us should end it while our feelings for each other aren’t that deep”
In fact, Jarred did not agree to break up. But she didn’t need his consent to end things.
After breaking up, she blocked all contact with Jarred.
Having met Jarred’s father, she knew he was not an easy man to deal with.
Trisha commented, “You’re so ruthless. If Liam got a job offer abroad for two or three years, would you break up with him too?”
Celeste shook her head, “No, because I love him. Now that I’m an adult, I can follow him wherever he goes with just a plane ticket.”
Trisha concluded. “So you didn’t really like your ex–boyfriend that much.”
Celeste just smiled and didn’t answer.
She did like him in the past, but it was just a crush she had when she was young and naive. Her feelings for Liam, however, were deep and genuine
Soon, Liam and Nicolas finally managed to get away from their social obligations and walked over
Liam casually handed Celeste a banana, which she was about to peel when Liam warned her nonchalantly. “Shawn is here, be careful”
