Chapter 653
Celeste glanced back at the entrance, but Liam hadn’t come out yet.
Noticing her action, Mason asked, “Still waiting for a friend?”
Celeste stayed silent for a few seconds before answering, “No, not really”
She wasn’t waiting for Liam
1 can just grab a cab, no need to bother you‘
Mason paused, “Celeste, it’s only right for friends to help each other. Plus, it’s late, you’re a woman, and it’s unsafe for you to take a cab. Let me take you home” His last sentence almost sounded like a plea
Celeste hated it when people talked to her like that. She couldn’t refuse, so the just got into Mason’s car
Do you live in Grandview Heights now?”
Mason asked while driving
Celeste nodded “Yes, the company arranged it. I’m living there with a frend”
Mason tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, then said, The neighborhood is pretty safe, you’ll be fine there
Just as he was speaking. Celeste’s phone rang

“Did you leave on your own?”
“Yes, I did

Liam didn’t want to waste time arguing, he said, “Get out of the car now, send me your location, and I’ll come get you”
Celeste replied, “No need, I’m almost home!”
“Get out of the car”
Celeste hung up, muttering under her breath, “Who does he think he is?”
“Was that Liam?” Mason asked.
Celeste snapped out of her thoughts, “Yeah”
“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen him in a while, Mason laughed, “After Grandma’s birthday party, a lot of friends asked about him. They all wanted to introduce him to some girls”
Celeste immediately said, “Absolutely not, Liam is a man, but his temper is terrible Any family’s daughter marrying him is asking for trouble. He’s better off living alone, let him enjoy his loneliness.”
