Chapter 98
Sure enough, Liam smiled faintly, “I can see you two haven’t been in touch for a while.”
The classmate was taken aback, only to see Liam put his arm around Celeste’s waist, slowly raising his eyes, and said gently. “He doesn’t even know you’re already married.”
Liam’s expression changed too quickly!
Celeste thought she was good at hiding her feelings, but compared to Liam, she was still far behind
The classmate was clearly caught off guard by the sudden revelation and stammered for a moment before saying. “Married?”
Celeste cooperated by holding Liam’s arm and smiling. “This is my husband.”
The man’s eyes showed obvious regret, and he said awkwardly. “You got married so early?”
Realizing it wasn’t appropriate, he quickly added, “I mean, I didn’t expect Mr. Reed to be your husband. When I was studying abroad, I heard from classmates that you had an accident. It’s good to have someone take care of you earlier.”
The car accident involving Celeste and her mother had been a big deal at the time, making headlines.
A private car collided with a taxi, causing two deaths and three injuries.
The taxi driver and a passenger were killed on the spot, while another passenger was seriously injured. Celeste’s mother survived but became a vegetable, unable to wake up. Among all the victims, Celeste’s injuries were the lightest.
However, even now, the thought of that gruesome accident still made her stomach involuntarily cramp.
Liam untangled her fingers and intertwined them tightly with his own,
Celeste looked up at him, puzzled.
But Liam didn’t look at her, and instead said lightly, “Mr. Pitts, I heard your parents are in the catering business?”
The man, seeing Liam initiating a conversation with him, was very happy and enthusiastically chatted with Liam.
Liam seldom initiated conversations with strangers. When people around noticed this, they soon came over to join them.
Talking business at this kinda event ain’t realistic, mainly all about building connections with people.
And the chatter from those housewives was just plain boring. They yapped about some new Japanese restaurant that just opened, bragged about the best spot for afternoon tea, or directly or indirectly showed off their hubby’s wealth. Seemed like their whole lives revolve around their husband’s social circle.
Come to think of it, wasn’t Celeste kinda like that too?
Lost in her thoughts, suddenly, a female voice called out near her ear: “Liam.”
Celeste’s smile suddenly paused, and she looked up
She saw Sydney wearing a blue rhinestone dress, slowly walking towards them.
Her makeup was exquisite, and she looked stunning. She had great control over both her expressions and her actions.
As one of the most popular young actresses at the moment, she indeed had the aura of a female star.
Usually, the high-society ladies would just nod to these young actresses and wouldn’t pay much attention to them. Seeing stars at various events had become no big deal to them, but the intimate shout of “Liam’ was just too curious.
Rumors about Liam and the popular actress Sydney had been buzzing before, but there was no follow-up news, so everyone thought it was just a publicity stunt
However, now, in front of his wife, such a warm shout seemed to be more than just a publicity stunt.
