Chapter 1162
That sly fox, Jamed!
Celeste, clueless about Liam’s thoughts, murmured, “We were just kids at that time. What could we possibly know?”
Liam shot her a glance, to which Celeste quickly responded, “In my eyes, after my brother, you’re the most handsome.”
Liam had no reaction
Well, losing to Steven Garcia wasn’t that bad
“Why did you two break up?”
Celeste said, “He was going abroad, I didn’t have faith in long–distance relationships, so I suggested we break up.”
“Is that all?”
Liam was somewhat skeptical
Celeste answered honestly, “His dad met me once and said some things that made me uncomfortable.”
Liam got it immediately.
Damon was the kind of guy who put great weight on social status. He probably said something to Celeste about the Campbell family’s background, prompting her to back out on her own
Young lovebirds, just starting to date, not deep in love, Celeste was then still Caitlyn’s precious baby, prideful and arrogant, and wouldn’t put herself down for such a relationship
Thinking about it now, bumping into her was just perfect timing. If he had met Celeste while Caitlyn was still healthy, with his then pride and arrogance, he might not have won her over
With that thought, Liam chuckled, “Now that was a close call
Celeste was sure she heard a hint of schadenfreude in his words.
She muttered, “If everything had gone smoothly, you wouldn’t be here.”
Liam, remembering the question Trisha had just asked, asked again, “How far did you two get? Did you sleep together?”
Celeste changed the subject. The ceremony is about to start,”
Liam looked gloomy, “Was he your first?”
Celeste felt like her head was about to explode, “What could two high school kids do? At most, we kissed on the cheek. Does that count as a first?”
Liam was seething, he really shouldn’t have asked that question!
It was fine not to ask, but asking made him care even more!
Seeing him fuming made Celeste want to laugh.
“Liam, you goof, I didn’t go along with him eight years ago. Would I still have lingering feelings for him eight years later? Your mom offered me money to leave you, and I didn’t agree If his dad did the same, I would’ve definitely accepted”
Liam was taken aback, “What did you say?”
Celeste said, “I won’t leave you”
Liam asked, “Did you just say my mom offered you money?”
Celeste sighed, “That was a long time ago. We had just got married, and your mom offered me five million to divorce you.”
Liam looked grim. If it weren’t for Celeste mentioning it today, he would’ve been totally in the dark about this.
If he had known this before, he certainly would have questioned the “baby making secret formula” from Skyler Reed, and Celeste wouldn’t have had to suffer. Suppressing his discomfort, Liam asked softly, “Five million, weren’t you tempted?”
“Honestly, a little.”
Liam suddenly felt nervous, about to speak, but heard Celeste whisper, “Mainly because I hadn’t slept with you yet, felt a bit unwilling
Liam’s jealousy was put to rest by Celeste’s brief words.
He extended his finger, lightly lifting Celeste’s chin, “We’ll talk about it when we get home.”
Meanwhile, Helen was getting her makeup done.
Her belly was gradually growing, making a wedding dress unsuitable, so she switched to a traditional local dress.
The makeup orbst–complimented while styling her hair, “Madam, of all the brides I’ve seen, you have the best skin.”
On this joyful day, complimenting the client might eam some extra tips
But Helen wasn’t in the mood. She even felt a bit irritated, “Just leave when you’re done. I want to be alone for a bit.”
The makeup artist grimaced, cursing “stingy” in her heart, and left unhappily
As soon as she left, Helen immediately made a call, “How’s it going? Is everything ready?”
