Liam didn’t respond
Celeste immediately buckled up, quickly getting in touch with Lucilla Preston. She urged Lucilla to figure out a way to bring Shawn over. They couldn’t let Helen end the life of this child.
She carefully explained a series of things. After hanging up the phone, she saw Liam staring at her.
“Got a problem?” she asked
“I thought you wanted her to bring Shawn over to catch them in the act,” Liam said.
Celeste’s face darkened, “Helen is very cautious. She’s using her relationship with Bart as a smokescreen. I don’t have any concrete proof. Shawn is a suspicious person, he wouldn’t believe it easily. The child she’s trying to abort is the best evidence. How can I let her have her way easily?”
“She was with Shawn while my mother was pregnant, made my mother raise her bastard child, and then wanted to kill my mother. She has to taste the bitter fruit of her own doing, only then can I let go of my hatred”
Liam gently held her fist, intertwining his fingers with hers. He whispered, “Leave the dirty work to me. Revenge is fine, but don’t dirty your hands”
Celeste’s face softened slightly. She asked quietly, “Do you think I’m scary?”
Liam thought for a moment, then said, “The worst you’ve done to me is just a slap. Is this another form of favoritism?”
She lightly scratched the palm of his hand, whispering. Your standards are too low. Aren’t you afraid I might really hurt you?”
Liam chuckled, his eyes bright and firm. “You won’t. You can’t bear it.”
Celeste also smiled, “If you fall for someone else, I can’t promise anything. I’m very jealous and vengefull. So think carefully during the probation period. Once you choose me, there’s no turning back”
Liam leaned closer, whispering in her ear. “Do you know what | regret the most about our divorce?”
“Leaving me penniless? Celeste asked.
“You should think bigger, not always about money”
Celeste chuckled, “So what is it?”
Liam looked away, “Not destroying our marriage certificate night after getting it. Without the certificate, how could you divorce me?”
She wanted to say that they could reissue it, they could get a certificate. Nowadays, divorce didn’t necessarily require complete documents. But she swallowed the words before they could escape her lips.
Liam knew these things. He was just confessing his feelings to her. He was telling her that he never contemplated divorce Divorce was his biggest regret
She didn’t contradict him for once, cleared her throat and said, “If there’s a next time, we’ll destroy it together”
Liam immediately pulled out his phone. “Say it again, for the record”
Celeste initially planned to let Liam leave first while she waited for the upcoming “drama“. However, Liam insisted on staying with her, worrying she wouldn’t be able
to handle it alone
His words made some sense to Celeste, so she went along with his plan.
On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Lucilla immediately called Shawn, lying that she had fallen and was feeling unwell.
When he heard it might be a miscarriage, Shawn immediately dropped his son off at school and rushed over in his car
