Chapter 319
Celeste could hold her liquor well, and although she drank a lot on her wedding night, she didn’t get completely drunk. She wouldn’t be unaware of what she had done.
After Kaylee sent her back to the room, she never came out again. It was impossible for her to go to the wrong room by herself unless Kaylee had taken her to Wesley’s room in the first place.
It was her first time at the Reed family’s old house, and she didn’t know where Liam’s room was. She relied entirely on Kaylee to lead the way. But no matter how she explained it, Skyler believed that she had drunk too much and her memory was distorted.
Celeste was young and eager to argue right and wrong. She wanted to find the old lady and ask her to investigate the matter. When Skyler heard this, her face changed.
She said it was already absurd and shameful enough, and they still wanted to take it to the old lady. What could the old lady do if she knew? It was a fact that she had an affair with Wesley on her wedding night. No matter what the truth was, it would be humiliating for Liam and embarrassing for everyone if it became a big issue.
She was too young, and when Skyler mentioned Liam, she backed down. She was afraid that Liam would look at her the same way as these people. She could not care about other people’s opinions, but she couldn’t help but care about Liam’s.
Skyler suppressed Celeste with the excuse of “family disgrace.” As for Wesley, of course, he wouldn’t mention it voluntarily. Later, when she thought about it, Celeste suddenly realized that Skyler didn’t want to make a big deal out of it just to protect Kaylee. As long as someone investigated it, the truth would be exposed.
She thought about telling Liam about it later, but Liam’s feelings for Kaylee were so deep, what could he do if he knew? Kaylee was his sister. He would protect her, maybe punish himself with three cups of wine, or simply push all the blame on Celeste like Skyler did. Either way, the result
would be the same.
The longer it took, the less she wanted to mention it. So when Liam asked, she just briefly mentioned it.
Liam frowned. He could clearly feel that when Wesley was mentioned, Celeste became somewhat gloomy, but she didn’t want to talk about it. This made him feel a little unhappy. He didn’t like Celeste having something on her mind but not wanting to talk to him about it.
The old lady’s room was very large, and this was Celeste’s first time coming in. Like Liam, the old lady’s bedroom also had a wall of bookshelves
dedicated to books.
Liam found the medicine the old lady mentioned, and then took Celeste to the sunroom on the second floor. As Celeste was getting the medicine, she said, “Grandma really spoils you. She wants to put medicine on you for a small injury. You’re so much more pampered than Wesley. Lift your head up.”
Liam slowly lifted his head, speaking indifferently, “Aren’t most old people like this? When you had a stiff neck from sleeping wrong before, Grandpa David had someone massage you for several days, right?”
Mentioning Grandpa David, Celeste’s eyes suddenly softened a lot, “Grandpa David just called, said he made some chicken soup again, and asked when we can go back.”
Liam’s eyes twitched a bit, “I have to work overtime later.”
Celeste sighed, “This is gonna disappoint Grandpa David.”
After applying the medicine, Celeste was about to close the lid when Liam stopped her and pulled her arm, “Come here a sec.”
“What’s up?”
Liam pinched her elbow, “Does this hurt?”
