Chapter 26
Julian agreed, “I’ll head inside too. It’s okay. I just couldn’t get used to it for a moment. I feel much better now.”
“Really?” Celeste suspiciously looked at him as if she didn’t believe him. “If you don’t like this place, you don’t have to force yourself to.”
Julian shook his head and chuckded, “I’m not forcing myself. It’s good that this place is so vibrant.”
Celeste was still skeptical, but since Julian had already assured her, she didn’t say anything else and brought the two of them in.
Celeste was no stranger to this place. So, naturally, as she walked around, some vendors nearby greeted her.
One of the vendors, Isla Weston, said, “Celeste, you’re here again! Come on! I have some fresh vegetables just for you. Have a look!
“Celeste, do you want some fresh prawns?”
“Celeste ”
Celeste was overwhelmed by their greetings and couldn’t respond to all of them. She could only smile and say,
“okay, okay”
“I’m surprised you’re so popular here,” Julian quipped as he looked at her with interest.
Samuel also didn’t look as disgusted as before. He looked around and found everything in this place to be novel to him.
Celeste replied with a smile, “I’ve lived here for years. We’ve grown close over time, so they’re basically neighbors to me now. They’re all good people. They even helped me during the most difficult time of my life a few years ago.”
Even though Celeste had put it briefly, only she knew how much pain she had endured back then. But somehow, Julian felt his heart sink at her words too.
As they spoke, the vendors finally noticed Julian and Samuel who were next to Celeste.
The father and son duo looked so identical that they were carbon copies of each other.
Julian looked handsome and graceful, while Samuel looked delicate and adorable. The sight of them melted the hearts of the vendors around them.
“Goodness, Celeste! Who’s this young man? Is he your boyfriend?
“No way. He must be your husband. The boy is already at this age
“He can’t be her husband Celeste isn’t married. Back then, Isla planned to introduce her lawyer nephew to her.”
Celeste hadn’t expected things to escalate this much, especially since she barely talked with Julian. She blushed and hurriedly explained, “Don’t be ridiculous We’re not
“I don’t think so! I’m sure you two are together. Look at that kid. His features are so delicate, and I can even see hints of Celeste’s features on his face, especially his mouth. They’re exactly the same.”
“Now that you mention it, you’re right! Goodness, Celeste. This wasn’t cool of you. How could you have hid that you had a husband from us?”
”
Hey, I can tell that this man is no ordinary person. Look at his figure and appearance. He’s irresistible. By the way, I find him a little familiar. I think I’ve seen him somewhere.”
Celeste wasn’t calm in the slightest…
Of course Julian looked familiar. After all, he was the CEO of Ford Corporation. Even though he kept a low profile, he still occasionally appeared in some financial
magazines.
Celeste was afraid that Julian’s cover would be blown if she kept sticking around, so she quickly grabbed Julian and ran away while everyone was still talking. Then, the three of them left the farmer’s market and stopped by the roadside.
Celeste was panting, and the blush on her cheeks was still there as she glared at Julian. “I told you not to come with me.”
Now, they’d caused a big misunderstanding!
Julian looked at Celeste with a hint of an emotion in his gaze. There was even a hint of joy on his face too. However, no one knew what it was exactly that made him so happy.
Samuel was also very happy. He looked at Julian with bright eyes and asked, “Dad, do Ms.
аг
Ms. Hart and I really look alike?”
