Chapter 110
“Yeah, I still do, and so what?”
“Kendric, I admit it. I still have some feelings for you, and I don’t think it
something ashamed. But that won’t change anything. I have my study plan, my
career and my life. I have so many things to care about, and you just take up a
slight part in my life. So, this is not a thing you should be proud of.”
Celeste had been intentionally avoiding this topic because she wanna end it
peacefully. The best situation should be that: she helped him solve this matter.
and they would part ways and become strangers.
But Kendric insisted on puncturing this facade of harmony, which in
Celeste’s eyes, was not a good choice.
Since the day she got winds of Kendric’s sickness, Celeste had found that
she still cared this man much, and she was quite honest to herself on this thing.
She still loves him… this is not a sin, no necessary to deny it.
She drooped her head and let out a sigh.
Kendric perceived she was in low spirit. “Is it really such an upset thing for
you to admit you love me?” His original joy and smile had faded away when he
saw her reaction.
“No, it doesn’t upset me… but it’s not a cheerful thing, either.”
Kendric is not a sweet–talker, and he’s not good at comforting words. But.
now, at this moment, he wanted to tell her, “love is a cheerful thing itself. If you
don’t feel joy from it, that must be my problem. I’ve upset you.”
Celeste was surprised, too surprised that she was left speechless.
Redeemed From Caged Love
Chapter 110
“Celeste, in the past, I was the one who took your efforts and love for
granted. Now, I wanna be the one to bring you joy.”
Celeste listened quietly, and she was level–headed. She was not flustered by
his sweet words.
“Kendric, don’t sweet–talk me. My dad has cautioned me that never easily
believe men’s promises.
Kendric shut his mouth. This was the most powerless moment he had ever experienced, especially when it was related to Myles. Whatever Kendric did and said, in Myles‘ eyes, it was a trick to cajole his daughter.
“No, I’m not giving lip service. Whatever you want, I will offer you.”
But Celeste knew well what she needed and what he could provide her.
“The things you can offer, is not what I want. I love you, but I don’t need
you.”
The beloved girl said she didn’t need him. Kendric felt his heart broken into thousand of pieces. He was caught by a deep sense of failure. He gave Celeste his whole heart, but he was still shut out of her world.
Perhaps it’s because his promises count for little, or perhaps it’s because his heart weighed too lightly for her.
“Cely, I promise I’ll be good to you.”
Kendric was racking his brain for words to touch her heart. Yet words were too powerless to express his heart. The love hid in his heart was like a vast ocean with terrifying waves, but it narrowed like a rivulet when expressed it out.
Chapter10
Celeste shook her head with a smile. “Loving you is my own choice. I don’t
need your promise.”
No! Kendric snarled in his heart. For me, your love is a gift from god to me. Just the thought of it will free me from any agony. Celeste, why did you describe it like something of little amount?
Kendric couldn’t understand why Celeste could still hold an indifferent
attitude toward him even though she loves him!
While he couldn’t stand even one second without seeing her!
He wants to stay by her side every day and every night.
He would cause all means to get close to her, and keep her stay.
He would wipe out any obstacle between them.
Why would their love have such vast difference?
Kendric’s eyes were brimming with sorrow. “Why it seems so easy for you
to pull yourself from love, why it is so hard for me?”
“Perhaps the past me can answer your question, but now, I can’t,
He let out a sigh. “Then how could we return to the past?”
Celeste shook her head.
Kendric just sat there in silence. The light cast shadows on his pale face, as if outlined the shapes of his pain.
Remorse was visible in his eyes. Celeste caught it.
Celeste stepped out from the hospital. The conversation didn’t ease her burden. She thought she could do this peacefully, but now she couldn’t cahm

down.
Kendric’s love, is something deadly yearned by the past Celeste. After
experiencing so many things, she learned a lesson that love doesn’t mean
everything.
Her career, dignity, self–esteem, they all outweigh love. Now that she had. made her choice, she couldn’t be swayed easily.
The next day, Myles rushed to the hospital early in the morning. He had
arrived this city the night before, and rushed here as soon as he woke up today.
When he saw Celeste, his expression was serious as hell.
Celeste had a guilty look on her face. “Dad, have you had breakfast?”
Myles shot her a glare. “What did you do yesterday!”
Yesterday?
She got drunk yesterday afternoon and slept till night. Of course she couldn’t tell the truth, otherwise her father would throw a fit. “Yesterday… I just stayed here…”
Myles looked sulky, “and you dare lie to me!”
How did her father know she was lying?
Celeste grumbled, “just had a few drinks and slept for a while.”
Sure enough, Myles bristled with rage, “that jerk dared entice you into drinking!”
Chapter110
To avoid any further mistakes, Celeste explained what happened yesterday
to her father. Myles mistrusted Kendric to the core, but he trusted his daughter.
He had a rough idea of the situation. Okay, but he still had complaint
toward Kendric.
Myles first headed to Caleb’s ward and stayed there about twenty minutes.
Then Kendric came, dressed in hospital gown. He looked haggard with pale lips, which surprised Myles.
