Chapter 1250
“I want him to tell me the due date. Let’s see which day would be the best for a C–section”
Celeste thought to herself- Shawn seemed to have lost his marbles to go as far as picking a suitable day just to have a baby.
If he was so into the divine, why didn’t he show any mercy to his wife?
Celeste’s face tightened, looking far from pleased
Liam held her hand, his thumb gently stroking the back of her hand as if comforting her His words, however, remained nonchalant, Tm not quite sure either I’ll ask around later
He paused for a moment after he finished speaking and then continued, “Mr. Campbell, I’m not much of a believer in these things, but which deity would bless actions that go against nature and interfere with fate? Instead of seeking fortune tellers, wouldn’t it be better to do good deeds and accumulate blessings for the
child?”
Shawn’s face stiffened at the words ‘accumulate blessings,” and it was quite a while before he vaguely said, “You have a point Before hanging up, he asked Liam again to contact the fortune teller
After hanging up. Celeste’s face grew more serious, and she said, “Shawn, that lunatic!”
Liam, however, said, “Not surprising. People who have done too many guilty things are always afraid of being punished by heaven After our divorce, so many things happened around him Now he wants to pin his hopes on the divine, which is consistent with the behavior of people his age.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Celeste’s phone rang
Liam glanced at it, seemingly displeased. It was Mason Fletcher.
Celeste paused, then looked at Liam, Should I take this call?”
Liam seemed pleased with her question, he casually said, “Take the call. Hold a crucifix while you’re at it. Didn’t you say Mason has been having a run of bad luck lately?”
Celeste answered the call Mason’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Celeste, it’s me.”
“Mr Fletcher, how’s your injury?”
Mason chuckled, speaking gently. “It’s nothing, just a minor injury. But you’ve been through so much with me that day”
I’m fine we’re all friends.”
“Are you at home now? I’m already at Grandview Heights.”
Celeste was taken aback, stuttering, “You’re coming to my house?”
Liam’s gaze stabbed at her like a knife as soon as she finished speaking
Celeste thought to herself, why was he glaring at her? It was not like she invited Mason.
“Yes, I’ve bought some gifts i thought I’d come and see you and Ms. Colton. If it weren’t for you guys that day, I might really have been in trouble.”
“You’re too kind”
He didn’t just come to see her alone, so she couldn’t refuse on behalf of Trisha Colton
“People need to be polite, and besides, I want to discuss something with you. It’s about Aunt Caitlyn’s car accident.”
Liam paused in his movements
In a low voice, Celeste was surprised and asked, “Is there any progress?”
“I’ll tell you when I get there‘
“You’re here?”
“Yes, waiting for the elevator”
Celeste glanced at Liam next to her, then stood up and said, “Take your time coming up. I’ll tidy up”
Mason chuckled, whispering. “All right”
Celeste hung up the phone, grabbing Liam’s hand tightly. “Go find Nicolas Francis quickly. When Mason amives, you can go straight to work.”
