Chapter Seventy-OneCaspian stared at the message on his cell phone and scoffed in disbelief.“This little monkey…” he murmured to himself, “What is she up to now?”Aurora, who was reading over his shoulder could not help but chuckle softly.Shannon was really a character.Perhaps, she did not remember that Aurora worked with her uncle Caspian, and that she would have to reach out to him in his office if Caspian was unreachable.Caspian sighed warily, then called Shannon.The little girl picked up on the third ring, “Uncle Caspian!” She said in her cheery little voice. She stopped giggling and turned serious, “Did you see my message, uncle?”“Yea, I did.” Caspian replied, “And it’s not happening. Aunt Aurora is busy with work. I’ll come pick you up today after lunch, okay?”“No!” Shannon refused, sounding close to tears, “Please uncle, can’t you talk to her instead? It’s just for today, I promise.” She paused, then sniffed loudly before saying in a sheepish voice, “For today and every

Chapter Seventy-Three“Ethan, I don’t mean to!” Celeste wailed behind her palms, “I was only just trying to get the card so I can take care of the home better for you! But Lucille refused to hand it over to me!”She snuffed, then looked at him with teary eyes and a tear stained face. She walked closer to him and took his hand, “Everything I do, I do it to make you happy. You know that, right?” She uttered in a soft, small voice, “please don’t be mad at me. I’m so sorry.”Ethan swung his hand away from her, “You’re missing the point, Celeste,” he uttered tightly, looking at her in disappointment, "And you’re apologizing to the wrong person. The one you should apologize to is Lucille.”Celeste turned to look at Lucille’s then back at him, her mouth hanging open like a fish fresh out of water. “You want me to apologize to her?” Celeste uttered in disbelief,, pointing at Lucille.Lucille stared back at her, her face hardened with a hand print on her cheek.“You hit her, Celeste,” Ethan an

Chapter Seventy-SixCeleste sat in the backseat of the Maybach, fuming silently.Riley sat beside her chattering away happily, as the driver maneuvered the car down the city to the Langford Capital Group Headquarters.They were on their way to pick Ethan up from the office.Riley had managed to throw a huge tantrum and convinced her father to actually come out for the event.Celeste was pissed that Ethan was moved by his child’s whining, and not the fact that he would get to spend time with her.“Ethan Langford, I don’t know what you mean by this,” she fumed to herself, “But you’re not getting rid of me anytime soon. I promise you!”The little girl beside was chatting away about the ice skating event which they were all going to attend that evening. Celeste was a guest of honor in the event and so was Ethan.They were very much like a celebrity couple now, and wherever Celeste was found, Ethan was found as well. The media and the socialites all knew how much Ethan doted on Celeste, an

Chapter Seventy-SixThe skating arena was nothing like Aurora and Caspian had expected. Aurora and Caspian blinked in confusion as the car rolled to a stop in front of the arena.Caspian narrowed his eyes at the arena up ahead, wondering if he was at the correct location.“Is this right?” He muttered as he whipped out his cellphone, trying to call Tony.He had never brought Shannon or picked her up from the arena himself, since she started there two weeks ago. Tony had been the one bringing her always, although Caspian had also followed diligently when it came to choosing the right ice skating center for Shannon.She was the Vaughn’s family youngest granddaughter and only grandchild. Of course everything had to be top tier, and THE VALENCIA SKATING ACADEMY was by far the best choice.The academy only had children from elite families attending there, and if you weren’t an elite, you had to get in on merit.This means one had to be very good when it came to the sport.The committee at

Chapter Seventy-EightAurora lifted Shannon into her arms, then pinched her cheeks lightly, her entire expression softening into a warm smile.“How’s our little champion doing?” She murmured affectionately, making Shannon giggle happily once more.The entire Langford family had gone silent, watching the scene before them with furrowed brows.What on earth was going on?Riley’s expression was the worst. Her hand dropped from Celeste’s hold as though it was hot coal.She was breathing heavily now, and her fists clenched as she took a few steps forward, her gaze fixed on her mom playing and smiling with another little girl.Shannon did not notice the Langford family.All her attention was fixed on Aurora who had actually come to the academy to pick her up, and be her mommy for the day.It was a pity many of her practice colleagues had left before Aurora’s arrival. Else she would have showed them how pretty Aurora was, just as she’d bragged all afternoon.Aurora was nice, and Shannon like
