Chapter 1160
His looks were nothing to write home about.
He had small eyes, and a big head, albeit tall, but his proportions were off. He seemed a little hunched when standing, lacking the vitality a young man should have: he looked like someone who had overindulged in sensual pleasures.
Maybe he caught Celeste’s gaze, and he stared back at her wide–eyed.
Celeste quickly averted her gaze.
Shawn was so eager to introduce his future son–in–law to Liam Reed, clearly wanting to expand his network. It seemed he was quite pleased with Felton
Liam responded indifferently, but his gaze was still locked on Celeste
Seeing this, Shawn was even more certain of Liam’s deep feelings for Celeste. He was planning to take some time to persuade Celeste if they could patch things up, his business would undoubtedly take a step forward.
Thinking this, he whispered to Celeste, “Once the wedding is over, I’ll publicly announce that I’m adopting you as my daughter, Celeste. The Campbell family will be your rock in the future.”
Celeste lowered her head and said nonchalantly, “You should discuss that with Mrs Helen. It’s a joyous day. Let’s not spoil everyone’s mood”
Tell Helen? He wouldn’t dream of it. He thought Celeste was short–sighted.
But he still agreed verbally. “I understand”
Then he turned to Angel Campbell and said, “You guys take care of the guests. I’ll go check on your mom
“Got it, Dad.”
After Shawn left Angel looked up to see Liam still looking at Celeste, she was about to blow a fuse.
She had mixed feelings of awe, fear, and affection for Liam.
The incident at the lecture where Liam had fired her without explanation had always been a thorn in her side.
Although there was no proof, she knew that Celeste was the instigator
When she heard that Celeste and Liam were divorced and that Celeste was left with nothing, she was thrilled for a while. But what’s going on now?
Why was Liam still looking at Celeste after the divorce?
She bit her lip. blocked Liam’s view of Celeste, and said, “Mr. Reed, there are fresh steaks over there. Let me get you some”
She tried to pull Liam up, but he avoided her and said coldly, “I’m not hungry.”
Angel was speechless
Nicolas glanced at her, then at her boyfriend Felton, noting that Felton’s eyes kept wandering towards Celeste
These two were quite interesting.
He stepped forward and said, “Mr. Felton, Miss Angel, I’m actually hungry. Would you accompany me to grab a bite?”
Angel didn’t exactly like Nicolas. His smile always made her feel uneasy, as if he was scheming something.
But since Nicolas had spoken, she didn’t dare to offend him and reluctantly agreed
As the three of them walked away, Trisha could faintly hear Nicolas asking. “How did you two meet
Trisha was pissed That sneaky bastard, can’t he get his own steak? Why does he have to invite that annoying Angel?” She paused and complained, “Angel’s boyfnend is so ugly How can she stand it?”
Celeste said, “What else can make her stand it? It’s all because he’s rich. Money can make people accept”
Liam’s eyelids twitched, and he asked in a low voice, “Acceptance just because of money?”
Celeste paused and quickly clarified, “I was talking about Angel i still care about looks. She teased Liam in a low voice. If everyone was like you, fd accept even without money
Liam felt somewhat comforted and somewhat not
