Chapter 424
The issue was finally resolved, and his temper had gradually calmed down. Just as he was about to go home, he ran into Celeste and Mr. Fletcher having a “meeting” at a coffee shop.
He saw Celeste hand Mr. Fletcher a piece of gum through a window.
Mr. Reed found it hard to bear that Celeste didn’t ask him for help but got it from his friends. And then he saw how intimate she was with them. As a man, it was tough to endure
Celeste didn’t handle this well.
But…
Owen hesitated, “Mr. Reed, are you still mad at Ms. Campbell?”
Liam frowned, “Don’t mention her in front of me!”
“Okay”
Owen closed his mouth and soon said, “Shawn was unexpected. Hiding his illegitimate daughter so well, no one would have thought about that. Ms. Caitlyn and her daughter really miserable.”
Liam glared at him, “Didn’t I tell you not to mention her?”
“I didn’t,” Owen said innocently. “I just felt sorry for their mother and daughter. Anyone would find it hard to bear.”
Liam…
“How many love potions did Celeste give you to make you speak for her?”
Owen laughed, “Ms. Campbell didn’t tell me much. The most I know about her is your preferences.
Liam thought about her words as he scoffed, “If she doesn’t know my preferences, how can she make me like her?”
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital parking lot.
After Owen got out of the car, he took the elevator directly upstairs.
About twenty minutes later, he came out of the elevator carrying a little girl.
The girl hadn’t fully woken up yet. She was leaning on Owen’s shoulder, and her eyes were barely open.
As they got back in the car, she rubbed her eyes and asked, “Uncle Liam, where are we going?”
Liam helped her fasten her seat belt, “We’re going to have fun.”
Coco frowned and said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would have dressed up.”
“You look nice the way you are,” Liam said.
Coco pouted, “You’re lying. You said I looked like a burned matchstick.”
Liam had bought her a black hat, which she was wearing today.
“Being compared to a matchstick is unique,” Liam said nonchalantly. “Others can’t have it even if they want it.”
Coco muttered, “I don’t want it anyway.”
The car left the hospital and headed straight to the airport.
“Cut!”
Zach called cut after the final scene.
“Come take a look,” he said to Celeste.
Celeste walked over immediately.
Her acting was very steady, and her performance today was even better than before.
Zach liked her interpretation of the role more and more.
After watching. Celeste seemed down, and Zach asked, “What’s wrong?”
Celeste replied, “Oh, nothing. I’m just a little overwhelmed that you praised me.”
Zach said a bit helplessly, “Do you think your acting is good enough to deceive me?”
Celeste absentmindedly replied, “No, it’s just that there’s something going on at home.”
As she spoke, her phone rang.
It was the nurse looking after Caitlyn
