Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 201 - Bab 210

Celeste passed the pair of pendants over to him. Damon's heart clenched, and he couldn't help but hug Celeste tighter. He became anxious and quickly denied, "Celeste, you should know that things wouldn't go back to how they would be from the moment you approached me." Damon was very scared that if Celeste was a weak-minded woman and allowed the York family to control her, the one that he married could be Shannon. Meanwhile, Celeste might feel disheartened since she'd lost her mother and might simply just marry anyone. Apart from destiny, it was all thanks to Celeste's determination that the two got to meet each other. Damon was 26 years old. There had been many women who wanted to sleep with him, so Celeste wasn't the first that dared to take her clothes off in front of him. But for some reason, he fell for her because of how enticing she was. As Damon thought of their first time, he got a hard on. Celeste started, "You might not listen when other people say it once or

It was 7 am when Damon brought the pair of pendants with him to visit the Bishop residence. Serena had just woken up not too long ago and was having breakfast with the assistance of her maids. She was confused to see her son here. Why wasn't he with his wife now? "Mom, I have something to tell you." Damon sat by Serena's side. He then pulled out the boxes that contained the Celestial Bonds. Damon told Serena the whole story of how James had given Sylvia the engagement agreement and pendant. He concluded, "So, Celeste has always been destined to be the daughter-in-law of the family from the start. I hope you'll respect her from now on." Serena merely listened to him in silence. After a while, she said slowly, "Is that true?" "I told Liam to look into Grandpa's medical history back then. It's true." Serena was utterly shocked. James only mentioned that he'd set up an amazing engagement for Damon back then. But he never told her the reason. Now that she thought about

It was finally winter, and everyone was starting to create designs for Christmas-themed jewelry. Celeste was drafting designs at her desk for almost half the day. She didn't even have time to drink water. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from an unfamiliar number. "Celeste, something happened to Lawrence. We're at the Davidson Hospital, you should come over now!" She heard a woman speaking in a demanding tone over the phone. Celeste was dumbfounded. "Who are you?" The voice was familiar, and after processing it for a while, Celeste realized that it was Carly. "Lawrence's in a really bad condition. Come now!" Carly didn't answer Celeste's question, and after demanding for Celeste to come, she hung up. Judging from Carly's tone, she didn't sound like she was lying. Without thinking twice, Celeste asked for a day off from Sylvie before rushing to the hospital. On her way there, she got a call from Damon."Darling, my head hurts. Can you come up here and massa

"Nothing." Celeste gave Damon an indifferent look. She seemed cold as she said, "You partnered up with Carly to test me for no reason and even slandered Lawrence and I. Of course, I should just own up to it, shouldn't I?" Her gentle tone from a moment ago was gone. Now, her voice was so flat that it made Damon seem like an outsider. Damon frowned. "I didn't mean to test you. I only found out about it after reaching the hospital." "Ah." Celeste put on a mocking smile. "You got your answer, then. Happy?" "That wasn't the answer I was looking for." "What did you expect me to do, then? That I'd be indifferent if I heard the news that Lawrence was dying? Damon, you could go out of your way to do things the moment you heard that Leah's father got cancer. And I'm not allowed to see a friend who got into a car accident at the hospital? "You really do have double standards," Celeste said coldly, disappointment in her voice. "Can't you talk to me properly?" Damon went closer to h

"Celeste is such a cold woman." After hanging up, Jasper complained to Nicholas. "That's how she is. But she actually values her relationships a lot," Nicholas explained. He knew her a little more than Jasper did. The two waited at the same spot for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, Celeste had driven her Porsche Cayenne over in a rush. Beneath her coat, she was still in her loungewear. She looked more anxious than she'd sounded on the phone. Nicholas and Jasper exchanged a look. "Let's go. My driver followed them. I'll bring you there." Nicholas entered Celeste's car. Jasper was afraid that things would take a turn for the worse, so he didn't follow them. The two then drove to a hotel according to the location sent by Nicholas' driver. The staff at the front desk tried to stop them, but it was to no avail. They then hurried to the room that Leah booked. "Leah, open the door." They pressed the doorbell, but nobody answered the door. Then, Celeste walked over and knocked on i
