His Mysterious Billionaire Ex-Wife 46
Natalie was momentarily distracted, but she was able to immediately pull herself together.“It doesn’t really mean anything. You know that. And that arrangement between the two of you ended a long time ago. I thought you would have moved on by now."Natalie looked at her with a look as if challenging her to say otherwise.Celine’s chest tightened.Coming back here, in truth, she was already prepared for the worst. She had never thought that Callahan would appear in her life and tell her that he had been waiting for her.He let her go last time. A few years had already passed. Those years were more than enough for him to realize what Celine was in his life. And the fact that the two of them had never crossed paths within these past few years only meant that her absence meant nothing to him.It’s just a real pity for her daughter.Calliope had been starting to ask questions, and Celine just couldn’t help but feel terrified for her.She collected her composure and made sure that Natalie

“Look who is here? Long time no see.” Natalie looked at her in a scrutinizing way. “To think that you would actually show your face here. But seeing that you are with a man, it seems the rumor that I heard last time was true.” Natalie raised an eyebrow; a mocking look appeared on her face as if she had won some battle.Celine’s hands balled into fists, and the raging storm in her chest seemed to start acting so violently.Just the sight of Natalie brought back memories Celine had spent years trying to bury. Those last moments she had endured before leaving Callahan came rushing back, especially those days when she had watched the man she married grow distant because of the woman standing before her.Back then, Celine had believed that if she remained patient enough, if she continued to fulfill her responsibilities as his wife, perhaps Callahan would eventually see her differently. She had foolishly thought that even a marriage which had started from an arrangement could leave room for

“Just make sure you go home by dinner, okay? Your father wants us to have dinner together.”Celine gave a soft hum in response before ending the call.For a moment, she didn’t move. The phone remained pressed against her ear even after the line had gone silent, as though she needed those extra seconds to steady herself.When she finally lowered it, her fingers tightened faintly around the device. Her gaze drifted forward, unfocused, as if she were looking at something far beyond the street in front of her.She still wasn’t used to being back.There was something unsettling about returning to a place that should have felt like home but didn’t quite fit anymore. Everything was familiar, even after the countless changes within the city, yet none of it settled into her the way it once did.The Everson family had never truly stayed too long in this city. It was mostly her and her siblings who would scatter around and live their own lives while their parents continued moving from place to p

Calliope’s sudden question stumped Celine for a second, leaving her caught completely off guard.For a few years, they had lived a quiet and peaceful life in Europe, where Calliope had little reason to interact with other children or strangers who might bring up things about families, fathers, and the concept of parents being together. The subject of her father had simply never been part of their daily lives.Or perhaps it was because Calliope had always been too young to wonder about it, too innocent to notice what she was missing. Celine had given her everything she needed—her love, her care, her guidance. She had filled both roles, acting as both mother and father, protecting her from the cruel questions that might have otherwise arisen if they had lived a different kind of life.But now, out of nowhere, Calliope had asked something so simple, yet so heavy, something that made all of Celine’s defenses crumble in an instant.Her heart began to pound violently inside her chest, each

“Just follow my order, Gaile. It’s fine. I’ll handle Celine,” Chase muttered, speaking into his phone with a serious tone laced in his voice.Celine paused, overhearing her brother’s voice as she entered the study. They had only just arrived at her parents’ house, surprising everyone. Now Calliope was happily entertaining her grandparents, and their laughter was echoing all over the house. The house sounded so lovely after a long time, as her parents say.Celine’s brow furrowed as she approached Chase, her footsteps barely making a sound. “What was that about?” she asked, trying to keep her tone casual. But there was an undeniable control to her voice.Chase turned to face her; his expression tinged with annoyance. “I heard what happened to you and Calliope earlier,” he said, crossing his arms as if bracing himself for a confrontation. “Don’t even try to deny it. That woman’s little stunt wasn’t just harmless teasing, and you know it.”Celine sighed, the memory of Katherine’s condesce

It was a bright afternoon when Celine and her three-year-old daughter, Calliope, stepped into a clothing store after landing back in the country. The sun filtered through the glass storefront, illuminating its glow on the rows of high-end clothing. They were nothing like the high-end stores she had been but that would work for now. Celine had made a big decision to leave Europe, and for her, it felt like coming back home. After what seemed like forever, she was finally reuniting with her family who had missed her and Calliope dearly.As they entered, Celine adjusted her button-down shirt, its crisp white fabric a stark contrast against her sun-kissed skin. It was casual yet expensive, typical of her style. Calliope, however, looked less like the daughter of a woman with good taste and more like a little girl who just didn’t care. She was still wearing her cozy pajamas—soft, colorful, and perhaps more suited for bedtime than shopping. They had flown in on the family’s private plane

Celine wasn’t really bothered about the girls teasing and mocking her about how she looked, but to be complimented by Callahan, it was on a different level, that if he mocked her, she would get offended for sure.It didn’t leave her mind that even after they left, as the girls approached Callahan aga

When the girls finally bid goodbye to Callahan as they occupied the other table and kept on glancing at them while giggling, Callahan didn’t really mind it as he was used to how girls mostly behave when he’s around, especially since he knows them. But Celine finds it somehow like she was being mocke

Celine can’t believe that Callahan has seen through her alibi right away that she was just trying to avoid him. But then, she’s quite thankful that he didn’t jump to more conclusions, such as that everything was just a lie and a made-up story by her.“It’s true that I’d help the harvest,” she said,

Celine tried to stay normal in the middle of the trip when her heart was already doing some backflips inside her ribcage as she couldn’t calm it down. Though she may have looked more invested in looking at the scenery outside, it was all blurred out, as what only rang in her mind were the last word
