Chapter 88
As Samuel ate his dinner, he started talking excitedly about the upcoming school event.
“The teacher said that on the day of the event, the children will perform a play with their parents, and we’ll need to wear costumes,” he explained with
enthusiasm
Celeste asked, “What play will you be performing?”
“We got the story of Little Red Riding Hood,” Samuel replied, clearly pleased with the choice.
Celeste couldn’t help but smile at the thought, Samuel as Little Red Riding Hood? That would mean someone had to play the grandmother, and someone else would have to be the Big Bad Wolf.
She glanced at julian, imagining him dressed as the wolf, which made her stifle a laugh.
The idea of playing the Big Bad Wolf made Julian’s face darken slightly.
Not understanding, Samuel looked at them in contusion and asked, “Is that not okay?
“Of course, it is!” Celeste quickly reassured him, trying to hold back her laughter. “I’m just not sure if your dad is up for it.”
Both of them looked over at julian, whose lips twitched as he finally relented. “Of course, it’s okay.”
Samuel broke into a big smile, overjoyed, “Dad and Ms. Hart are the best!”
After dinner, they chatted for a while before Julian and Samuel were ready to leave.
Celeste walked them downstairs, and Samuel looked back at her reluctantly. “Mt. Hart, you should go to bed early. Dad and I are leaving now.”
Samuel wondered when the day would come when he could see Celeste both before bed and when he woke up.
“Okay.” Celeste smiled and nodded. She couldn’t help but glance at palian, only to meet his gaze.
His deep voice broke the silence. “You should head back in. Goodnight.”
“Goodgoodnight. Take care on your way home,” she replied
Under the soft glow of the streetlights, Julian’s features appeared even more handsome, making Celeste momentarily dazed. Her face flushed slightly as her mind involuntarily replayed the scene from the moming.
Snapping back to reality, Celeste felt a bit flustered and said, “I’ll head in now. Sam, make sure to get to bed early.
Okay, goodbye Ms. Hart.”
“Goodbye.”
Back in her apartment, Celester idly browsed the Internet after taking a shower. She couldn’t help but think about what Samuel had said earlier. Since they had to perform a play, they should probably prepare the costumes in advance.
With that in mind, she began searching online for Little Red Riding Hood costumes. As she was about to place an order, she realized she didn’t know Julian’s size. Taking out her phone, she sent julian a text. “What’s your size?”
At Ford Residence, Julian was in the middle of discussing business matters with Marcus when his phone buzzed. Marcus, who was sitting next to him, saw the message first
His eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, “Whoa, you and Celeste ate moving pretty fast. You’re already at the stage where she’s asking for your size
He was proud of himself. Yesterday’s efforts had clearly paid off. Not only had Julian and Celeste made up, but their relationship had also progressed quickly- Marcus couldn’t help but wonder what had happened last night. He gave julian a playful look.
Puzzled, Julianpicked up his phone and read the message. He sighed and said calmly, “She’s asking for my clothing size.”
Sothing size, huh? Marcus quickly recoveted his earlier embarrassment, laughing
“Right, that’s exactly what meant, clothing size! Look at how quickly things have turned around. Just a few days ago, she gave you a cold shoulder, and now she sking for yourslothing size.
