Chapter 1272
Liam shot her a glance, “Do I look like the kind of guy who enjoys messing around?”
Of course not. But because he wasn’t doing it on purpose, it probably hurt Clair even more.
Celeste thought for a moment and decided to give her clueless boyfriend a heads up.
“Babe, have you noticed that Clair might have a little crush on you?”
Liam looked surprised. “Are you doubting me again?”
Celeste playfully smacked him and said with wide eyes. “I’m serious!”
Liam frowned, thinking hard. He really couldn’t figure out where Clair had shown any interest in him.
He had only had a few encounters with the Garcia family
It wasn’t until six years after Macy’s death that Hiram Garcia remarried, and Liam met Clair for the first time when he was in middle school.
At that time, he was in the same class as Steven, who always had a little sidekick tagging along.
Liam didn’t mind, but he also didn’t particularly like it,
This dislike wasn’t specifically towards Clair but rather a general aversion to trouble.
Clair had asthma, and when Steven brought her out, he always had to worry about her health, which made it less fun for a kid who loved to play
Therefore, he rarely accepted Steven’s invitations later on.
Even if he did go, if Steven brought his sister, Liam would find an excuse to leave early.
Later, when Clair’s condition worsened, the Garcia family moved abroad.
For about ten years, he hadn’t seen Clair, and his impression of her remained as the weak, malnourished girl.
As for the interest Celeste was talking about… Did Clair give him a bracelet count as interest? But he had already paid her for it.
Thinking about Clair’s sensitive status, Liam asked, “Is it because of Clair’s relationship with the Garcia family that you don’t like her?”
Celeste was speechless. “Do you think I’m that petty? Clair is the daughter of my father’s second wife, not like Angel, who was born out of Shawn’s affair She’s lived in this family for twenty years, with loving parents and a harmonious family I’m the one who came later. What right do I have to dislike her?
Liam was surprised for a moment.
Celeste had accepted this family, but apart from being close to Steven, she always seemed a bit distant in front of the Garcia and Hann families. Although he could also feel her love for this family from her words, the missed family affection wasn’t something that could be replenished quickly.
Whenever she mentioned the Garcia family, she would unconsciously exclude herself.
Liam’s lips tightened slightly, he held her hand, and the warmth of his body slowly transferred over. He said softly, “You definitely have the right to like of dislike anyone. You’re a part of the Garcia family, don’t say you came later. No matter how long Clair has been in the Garcia family, she can never replace your position in the hearts of your loved ones.”
Celeste was a bit stunned, then she hugged him tightly and whispered, “You’ve been getting to know me better lately.”
Liam gently kissed her hair, “Because I love you.”
This sudden confession made Celeste’s heart race, and then she couldn’t help but laugh.
