Chapter 762
When she first married Liam, she was ridiculed by Kaylee and other socialites for wearing last season’s designer clothes to a banquet. Since then, every time a new collection was released each season, her mother would have it delivered to her home.
Most of the expensive clothes in her wardrobe were gifts from her grandmother; she rarely bought anything herself. This month was indeed the time for the clothes to be delivered.
But…
“Garnett, aren’t you aware?” Celeste interrupted the young man’s introduction.
His voice was gentle. “Aware of what?”
Celeste said, “I’m no longer a part of the Reed family. There’s no need to deliver these clothes here anymore.”
Garnett said, “We haven’t received any related notices.”
Celeste thought this might be her grandmother’s idea; otherwise, Garnett wouldn’t have delivered the clothes to her current residence. She accepted it before her divorce; after all, she was the apple of her grandmother’s eye.
But now that she was divorced, she felt embarrassed to accept.
So she said to Garnett, “Garnett, hold on a second; let me make a call.”
Garnett nodded and said, “Take your time.”
Celeste dialed a number, reaching Sienna, who was on vacation.
The old lady and Mr. Robinson were fishing. When Mr. Robinson said was Celeste who was calling, she took the call. “Granny, it’s me.”
The old lady chuckled, “Missing your old granny?”
Celeste smiled. “Yes, when are you coming back?”
“Give it a few more days.” At least until Kaylee returns; otherwise, there’ll always be someone who can’t let go.
Then she asked, “You need something from Granny?”
“There’s something.” Celeste organized her thoughts before saying, “Granny, Garnett came over to deliver clothes. Could you contact the store and have them take the clothes back? I have plenty of clothes already, and I’ve been busy with work lately, so I don’t have much opportunity to wear them. It’s a waste to have them just sitting in the house.”
The old lady paused, then laughed, “You might have got the wrong person.”
“Huh?”
“The clothes weren’t sent by me.”
Celeste was surprised. “But weren’t they always sent by you through Garnett before?”
“It wasn’t me who had Garnett deliver them before,” the old lady said, replacing the bait that was taken by a small fish. “I’m an old lady in my seventies; what do I know about fashion? What’s in style?”
If it wasn’t her grandma, then who could it be?
The old lady said, “Whoever it is from, just take it. Not using it would be a waste.”
Mr. Robinson thought the old lady would put in a good word for Liam, but she was actually encouraging Celeste to accept the gifts.
After hanging up the phone, Celeste couldn’t calm down.
She never expected that all the clothes in her wardrobe were gifts from Liam!
Frowning, she recalled the first time Garnett came to deliver clothes when Liam was also there.
She didn’t dare accept and called Liam down.
Liam told her that the clothes were sent by his grandmother, and she believed him.
Now thinking about it, grandma didn’t attend that party. How could she possibly know that she was wearing out–of–season clothes? Liam, that blockhead!
Angrily, she dialed Liam’s number.
But Owen picked up the call.
“Hello there, Ms. Campbell.”
