Chapter 275
Shawn sure knew how to pick the perfect timing. He filled the only few days on which Celeste didn’t have work to do.
In the morning, as she walked down the stairs, she was startled by a chorus of “Good morning, ma’am” and almost slipped.
There were several housekeepers cleaning the house, and she had no idea when they started.
The living room glass was cleaned spotless, and the huge wedding photo was wiped clean and looked as good as new.
The house looking all fresh and new reminded her of when they just got married.
This time, Liam was really a bit baffling.
Not only did he agree to let guests stay, but he also made a big fuss about tidying up the house.
However, with him taking care of it, she was happy to be carefree.
By the time she poured herself a glass of water, Liam had come down from upstairs.
He was dressed in a well–fitted suit, and his hair was specially styled. He adjusted his sleeves while walking.
Liam had excellent proportions. He was tall and handsome. His long legs were particularly eye–catching. Celeste glanced at him silently, couldn’t help but purse her lips, and asked, “Are you going to work late?” Liam glared at her and said, “I’m not going to work.”
What’s he doing dressed so formally if he’s not going to work?
Before she could ask, Liam had already said, “Go change into something decent. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Celeste was stunned, “Where are we going?”
“Your dad wants us to go pick up your Grandpa David.”
Didn’t he say that they would send him over? Why did they ask him to pick him up?

She really didn’t want to meet that bunch of people. The last time they met was during the New Year, when Shawn insisted that she go for dinner. Liam didn’t like dealing with the Campbell family, so she went alone.
She still remembered the expressions of those relatives at the dinner table.
After Shawn made his fortune, he donated a lot of money to his hometown, so the Campbell family had a high status in the local area. Shawn became a role model for almost all the younger generations of the Campbell family.
When Celeste and her cousins were young and would celebrate holidays together, everyone’s favorite thing to do was to compare their children.
Celeste was the smartest one since she was a kid. With a flexible mind and a passion for learning, she was always the top of her class.
Caitlyn loved to show her off, displaying her good grades and making her play the flute and piano for everyone.
The relatives would always be offended by this. Which child wasn’t a treasure to their parents? Why was it always Caitlyn’s child who gets the limelight?
Over time, the conflict between them only intensified.
The year she was admitted to a top university, a lavish banquet was held in her hometown, and celebrities were invited to perform there, much to the relatives‘ displeasure.
Later, Caitlyn had the accident, and Celeste married Liam after graduating. That she became a housewife after all the education she received gave the relatives a chance to vent.
This year,
one
of her cousins also got admitted to a top university.
