Chapter 820
Celeste was a bit taken aback.
He was upset because of this? Wasn’t that a bit childish?
Weren’t the presents she had received, past and present, all from him?
But she was in a good mood today, so she reassured him, “The gifts you give are always practical. Whether they’re for a soak in the tub or for making a flower cake, they’re all good.”
Liam didn’t feel reassured at all.
Suddenly, Celeste had an idea. There are some desserts left from Trisha, let me get you some.”
Trisha was really good at cooking. For a while, Liam would bring a bouquet of roses almost every day It felt like a waste to throw them out, and they weren’t cheap either, but she had nowhere to put them if she didn’t.
So, Trisha took the rose petals off, washed them, and made a flower cake. She even bought a desiccant and individual packaging bags to preserve it. They would eat it as a snack while watching TV dramas
Ever since Nicolas moved in across the street, a lot of the desserts at home had been taken by him. There wasn’t much left now
Celeste handed a piece of cake to Liam, “Try it.”
Liam took a bite
The soft cream wrapped around the scent of roses, and the taste was much better than anything you could find on the market.
“Tastes good, right?” Celeste’s eyes curved into crescents, “Trisha is really good at this, isn’t she?”
“You’re not bad either.”
“There’s no need to say something you don’t mean.”
“I’m serious,” Liam emphasized.
Celeste gave him a sideways glance, “You think I didn’t see you throwing away the lunch I made for you?”
“When did – Liam’s words suddenly stopped. He seemed to remember something. So there was that one time.
You saw me throw away the lunch, so that’s why you refused to cook?”
The feeling of being looked down on, even after a long time, still made her feel uncomfortable.
“I’m not that thick–skinned I can’t keep forcing myself on someone who doesn’t like me.”
So that’s how it was. At first, when Celeste stopped cooking, he just thought she was bored.
Just like when she saw someone playing the guitar on TV and thought it looked cool, and brought one home. But after only two months of practice, the guitar was tossed into the storage room Her interest in things never lasted long. So when she gave up cooking, he just thought her interest had reached its peak. He never thought it was because of him.
So her cooking was it because of him? This realization made Liam’s heart incredibly soft
Celeste found it annoying to think about the past. When she looked up and saw Liam still smiling, she suddenly felt stifled.
“Am I that funny?” she was not pleased.
“No,” Liam stroked her hand, “You’re very cute.”
Celeste’s heart beat faster, and she pulled her hand back.
“Stop playing games!”
“No,” Liam hugged her and made her sit on his lap, looking seriously into her eyes, “I only threw away the food you made for me once. It wasn’t because I didn’t like it. That day I had gone to the golf course with a client, and the car was parked outside all day in the hot sun. By the time I came back at night, the food in the lunch box had gone bad, so I threw it away.”
