Chapter 16

Author: Melody Piper
Celine knew there was no escape, so she led him to a secluded place to try and make things clear. "Jessimar, I am single now, but we can't be together."

Jessimar looked completely puzzled. He was somewhat confused. "Why can't you give it a try? "

Seeing Jessimar's persistence, Celine explained carefully, "I'm divorced. I have an ex-husband."

His eyes were full of confusion. He was silent for a moment, but did not hear Celine's desire to continue speaking. He asked in confusion, "Is that all?

    The news that Harry had liver cancer spread quickly.Juniper hurriedly returned from Palto. When she saw the unconscious Harry still murmuring Celine's name, she instantly understood everything. She immediately called Celine. "Harry is now in the advanced stage of liver cancer and has little time left. He keeps thinking of you. Could you come back? At the very least, accompany him through this final stage of his life, okay?"Celine was somewhat shocked to hear this, but more than that, she felt a sense of melancholy as if it were a distant memory.Looking at Jessimar's family, who was happily choosing wedding dresses beside her, Celine already had her answer.Celine held the phone and replied resolutely, "I won't go back."Juniper did not expect Celine to be so resolute. She asked in confusion, "Why have you become so heartless? You two were married after all. Didn't he become this way because of you?"Celine simply hung up, not wanting to waste any more time with Juniper.Jessi

    After returning home, Harry started working late every night. He came to work the earliest and left the latest. When he got home, he would binge drink to get drunk, trying to numb himself with alcohol.His assistant came to Harry's house every morning to clean the house and tidy up the mess. Every day, he watched Harry slumped on the couch, mumbling Celine's name, and he sighed.The assistant wondered, 'Had Harry known this, would he have done it in the first place? Harry deserved it.'Meanwhile, Celine was standing in a sea of petals. She wore a long dress made of white and blue fabric, her head lowered. Standing in front of her, Jessimar put a carefully made lily hair accessory on her.Under the sunlight, Jessimar confessed to Celine again, "The moment I saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. This won't change. I really like you. Can we take this further and become lovers, Celine?"Celine had heard his many confessions before. Each time, she felt hi

    Harry walked out and stood in front of Celine.Jessimar was caught off guard. Seeing Harry again, he immediately prepared to shield Celine, but Celine stopped him.She grabbed Jessimar's arm and said softly, "This can't go on. Let me handle it, okay?"Jessimar nodded, but still insisted on waiting outside.Celine felt a warm current in her heart, and it gave her more courage to face Harry. She looked directly at Harry and said firmly, "Let's talk."Harry followed Celine into her house and sat down near the window. Celine instinctively glanced at Jessimar outside, and Jessimar waved at Celine.Harry felt even worse when he saw this."I thought you'd gotten together with Aunt Juniper."Celine then added, "Since I'm Aunt Juniper's stand-in, and you love her so much that you're willing to donate a kidney for her, why aren't you together?"Her light-hearted words made Harry feel awkward. For a moment, he did not know how to respond.Celine stood up and poured him a glass of water,

    "Who the hell are you? Why are you interfering in our affairs?" Harry was about to chase after Celine, but Jessimar stopped him. Now Harry was glaring at Jessimar.However, Jessimar calmly patted Harry on the shoulder, his face showing complete composure. "I'm Celine's admirer. You should hurry home. She's mine now."Harry did not expect to get such an answer. He immediately became serious and scrutinized the man in front of him. Judging from Jessimar's style and build, he was good-looking with a good figure. His muscles were also faintly visible; he was not a weak and easy-to-handle type."Celine won't like you," Harry replied firmly, thinking to himself that Celine would only like someone like him."Oh? Would she prefer an old man like you over a handsome one like me?"Harry's eyes widened involuntarily, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Old man?"Although he was indeed much older than the man in front of him and was even ten years older than Celine, Harry thought he was well tak

    When they reached Miriam's place, Celine and Miriam explained the whole story.The sunset shone through the window. After hearing everything, Miriam's eyes were filled with sorrow and compassion. She stood up and held Celine in her arms, gently patting her back and comforting her, "Celine, don't be sad. It's all in the past."Celine, who had been trying to hold back her tears, suddenly felt a strange sting in her eyes in the warm embrace. The tears she could not control flowed more and more fiercely, and the panic and sadness that had been accumulated in Celine's chest erupted suddenly. More and more tears fell down her cheeks.Miriam kept patting her back gently and warmly.How could she not feel wronged?During the three years they had known each other, every day she had grown up in love. They had gone through so many things together, and everything was still vivid in her memory as if engraved in her heart. Just a little digging, and the memories would rush toward her like a s
