Chapter 36
“Really? Let me see.” Julian frowned slightly and reached over to grab the mineral water.
However, before he could do so, Celeste dodged him. “It’s really okay. Don’t worry! Instead, I should apologize to you. You had to come here so late at night. I’m also sorry for what happened in the restaurant.”
“Why are you apologizing?” Julian coldly asked and pulled his arm back.
Celeste looked down and replied, “I did that to Samuel..”
Julian said, “Samuel doesn’t care about that. He’s just worried that you’re upset with him. He won’t blame you for anything. Besides, I know you didn’t mean to do
that.”
“But I still hurt his feelings…” Celeste said with a bitter smile.
Even though she hadn’t meant to do so, she would inevitably hurt someone when trying to run away. She felt heartbroken at the thought of Samuel’s expression

When Julian saw that Celeste was blaming herself, he couldn’t help but soften his tone. He said, “just bring him a gift to cheer him up next time.” Celeste’s chest tightened.
There wasn’t going to be a next time. She had already decided to stay away from them.
Meanwhile, Julian continued staring at Celeste.
He could clearly see the hesitation in her eyes, but he didn’t call her out on it. After all, he had everything under control, including her.
Just then, the cell phone on the table rang
Julian picked up the phone and answered it.
Over the phone, Marcus anxiously yelled, “Holy shit, Julian. Help me! You need to get back here! Sam has gone insane!TM
“What’s wrong?” puhan asked with a frown.
Marcus said, “When I brought him home, I asked him to take a bath. I filled the tub with warm water, but that kid secretly got rid of the warm water and filled it with cold water instead. Then, he spent half an hour in there,
“After he left the bathroom, he even turned on the air conditioner, locked himself in the room, and refused to let me in. What should we do? If this continues, he’ll catch a fever and a cold,”
Julian frowned.
Samuel had been fine when he left. So, why was he causing a scene now?
Not caring that Marcus was still cambling on the phone, falian immediately hung up the phone and stood up from the sofa.
d still hear some of Marcus‘ words
Celeste also stood up and nervously asked, “Did something happen to Samuel?” Even though they were a distance apart, she could through the phone.
Julian nodded. “Samuel locked himself up again. He used to occasionally do this, but it was always because of his tantrums after minor tights. But tonight seems to be a little different.”
Samuel’s body was weaker than other children’s, so he easily caught colds and tell ill. Something bad would happen if he kept doing this to himself.
When Celeste heard this, she was in a mess, and the first thing she did was blame herself for Samuel’s actions,
Then, she recalled Julian telling her that Samuel was slightly autistic and irritable. Now, she felt even more
uneasy.
She immediately forgot about her desire to keep a distance from them and her excuses for doing so. Instead, she anxiously asked, “Mr. Ford, cant go with you?” Julian had been waiting for her to ask and immediately replied, “Of course,”
So, after Celeste changed her clothes, she rushed out with Julian.
At that monent, the lights were on in Oakville Estate. In the estate, more than 20 people, including Bill and the housekeepers, were all waiting in the hall. Marcus anxiously walked back and forth in the hall, looking outside from time to time as he waited for Julian to return home
