Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 131 - Bab 140

"No, you haven't eaten enough food." Damon reached out to press Celeste back down on her seat. "But I'm full!" Celeste was still mad at him. She rolled her eyes at Damon. "Finish the toast. Don't make me feed you." He purposely put on a cold face. "Do you enjoy forcing others to do things? Is there something wrong with you?" Celeste glared at him angrily. That made Damon recall the amazing experience he had just a few hours ago. He burst out laughing. Seeing him laugh, Celeste instantly realized what he was thinking about. Her face turned red. Unbeknownst to them, Edna had already left them alone a while ago. Damon pulled her onto his lap. "Good girl, I'll feed you." He tore off some of the toast and put it into his mouth. It did not taste bad at all. He then tore off some more and stuffed it into her mouth. Damon force-fed half of the toast to her. She was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open. The only thing she wanted to do was to go back to the bedroom and sl

"Don't cry. Have you shown Nicholas the medical report? Don't worry, I'll be there as soon as possible." Damon sounded panicky. "What's wrong?" Celeste was still teary-eyed. After he put his phone away, she asked quietly. "Uncle John was diagnosed with late-stage kidney cancer today." Perhaps due to the lighting of the cafe, Celeste thought that Damon's eyes looked a little red. "I'll send you back home before heading to the hospital." "I'll go back home by myself." She stood up and grabbed the few big bags of books by Damon's foot. The Sullivan family was important to Damon. He was probably upset after hearing such news. Now that she thought about it, this was probably related to the reason why Damon came back late last night. Damon was in low spirits. He only nodded and said nothing. Celeste reached out to hug Damon. "Just go, darling. Drive slower when you head back home at night." Celeste was a dispassionate person because of her family background. Her life revo

"I've already eaten." The moment Damon reached home, Edna quickly served him the pumpkin soup that was simmered in a casserole. She even told him specifically that it was Celeste who insisted Edna prepare this for him. His troubled mind was then eased. "You even told Edna to make supper for me. What a considerate wife." Seeing her wake up, Damon rubbed the nape of her neck. He turned her around to face him. "How's Mr. Sullivan?" Celeste was embarrassed to hear him praise her. So she changed the topic. Damon then told her about John's medical condition. Celeste became quiet for a long while after hearing that. She suddenly said, "You should stay by his side more frequently then. And … you should ask Leah if there's anything she needs." Celeste lost her mother at the age of 21, so she understood how much pain Leah could be in. "Why are you suddenly being so understanding?" Damon lifted Celeste's chin to look into her eyes. "Would you not see her if I told you not to?"

"Thank you." Celeste suppressed her discomfort and answered him. She pulled her sketchbook out. "You're looking for an emerald necklace, right? Have you picked out the material that you want?" This was an order costing over 100 million dollars, which meant that hers and the saleslady's commission would go up to 200 thousand dollars. If all she had to do was watch him and Shannon be all lovey-dovey to land the deal, it would be dumb of her to not take it. Celeste did not understand how Shannon would be proud of sleeping with an old man, even showing it off. Celeste made fun of her in her head, but there was no expression on her face. "We're in no hurry, Ms. York. I'll be sure to hire you to do the design for me. But I have something urgent to deal with soon. Let's sign the agreement first and I'll pay the deposit. We can meet up at another spot tonight to talk about the design." Jonah told the saleslady to show him the agreement. He then pulled out a pen and signed it. He even

It appeared he and Shannon knew that Damon wouldn't be able to take care of her at this time. That was why they had the guts to do this to her. But how did they find out about John being sick? Celeste's eyes darkened. But it was just for a moment. She then regained her composure. "Did you call me here to have dinner with you because you knew that my husband would be busy?" She tapped open her chatbox with Damon on WhatsApp. She pressed the voice message button to record their conversation. "Although you two are sisters, you're smarter than Shannon. Shannon said that you're good at seducing men, but I think you're quite cold and dispassionate. But do you know what men like the most?" Jonah suddenly leaned close to her. Celeste dodged backward smoothly. "What is it?" "Men love to make cold women beg. That's the feeling of asserting dominance." "Sorry, Mr. Radcliffe. I'm not Shannon and I don't play hard to get." Underneath the table, Celeste released the voice message
