Chapter 29
Stacy noticed the change in William’s expression and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, william?”
William looked ahead with mixed feelings and said, “It’s.. Celeste.”
1/1
When everyone heard William’s words, they couldn’t help but lookover to where he was looking.
Sure enough, they saw Celeste standing close by too.
They hadn’t seen her for five years. She had changed a lot.
She had become taller, and her facial features had also become more refined. She no longer looked as youthful as she used to be. Now, she had an air of calm about hertoo, and she looked distant, just like a lone wolf.
Benedict and Sally immediately had mixed feelings.
Back then, Celeste was the woman they had wanted to be their daughter–in–law. They had known her ever since she was a child, but later on, she did something shameless.
On the other hand, Ethan barely reacted when he saw his daughter despite not having seen her for years. His expression simply darkened slightly, and no one could tell what he was thinking
As for Susan, she had heard her daughter mentioning that she had seen Celeste, so she wasn’t too surprised when she saw her now. However, she was taken aback by the changes in Celeste.
Celeste looked more and more like her mother, who had a fleeting life.
Susan felt resentful, but on the surface, she pretended to be surprised. She said, “Goodness, it really is you! After all these years, we finally get to see each other again.”
She feigned happiness as she walked up to Celeste. Then, she affectionately held Celeste’s hand and said, “Celeste, you’ve changed a lot. You’re taller and prettier now, You’ve been hiding from us all these years. Your father and I tried to find you, but we couldn’t.”
Celeste telt a wave of nausea at Susan’s words. Atter so many years, Susan was getting better and better at putting on a kind act.
Back then, she had ruined Celeste and Ethan’s relationship with her deceitfulness and duplicity too.
Later on, Celeste was lacked out of the family, and while Stacy may have been the cause of that, Susan had also played a role in it.
Celeste pulled her hand away in disgust. However, since she had used a little too much strength, Susan staggered from the momentum.
Upon seeing this, Stacy quickly steadied her mother. Then, she reproachfully looked at Celeste and said, “Celeste, my mother hasn’t seen you for years and is just concerned for you. How could you do this to her?”
room, and she wanted to head back.
Celeste didn’t intend to waste her time talking with them. After all, julian and Samuel were still waiting for her in the private room She sneered, “Concerned, you say? We barely know each other. Get out of the way!”
Susan feigned a look of hurt. “Celeste, are you still angry with me and your father? Back then, he only impulsively kicked you out. Why don’t you come back home? However, Cleste simply ignored them and walked around them.
or years away? Aren’t you going to greet me?
Ethan was furious, When Celeste walked past him, he said, “Celeste, have you lost your manners during your years Upon hearing this, Celeste couldn’t help but stop wallding. She faced her father with indifference and ridicule. “Greet you? What am I supposed to call you? ‘Dad? I’m sorry, I don’t have a dad. He died five years ago.”
Ethan was already dead to her. Celeste could never forget how he had treated her five years ago.
Back then, she’d been helpless. When she needed her father’s support the most, he’d simply banished her and treated her as a disgrace.
How ridiculous.
Even after that, Celeste had still held onto the hope that her father wouldn’t leave her to fend for herself. But ultimately, the harshness of reality shattered her optimism.
When Ethan heard what Celeste said, he im haven’t changed your ways!”
he immediately became furious. He was about to hit her when he said, “You ungrateful brat! After so many years, you still
