Chapter 111
Just one glance at her father, and Celeste knew that her father’s complaint
to Kendric weakened.
“What are you doing here? As a patient, shouldn’t you keep your ass on
sickbed?”
Kendric flashed a polite smile, “I came to greet at you, Mr. Alinsky.”
Myles waved his hand impatiently, “no, no need, we gotta go now.”
Kendric concealed his true emotion, “Mr. Alinsky, may I have the honor to
treat you a dinner? I’ll have someone send you back later.”
Myles had seen through his little game. No way! He would never give him
any chance to get close to his daughter!
“No, thanks.”
Kendric looked worn out but he still remained his smile. “At least I should
treat you a lunch.”
Celeste stood behind her father. Her eyes caught clearly all Kendric’s
sadness and frustration. She’s always the first to detect his any subtle emotions.
She tugged at her father’s sleeve. Before she could say anything, Myles shot her a glare.
But this time Myles didn’t reject Kendric’s offer, he thought it was time to have a talk. “Then we’ll leave after the lunch.”
Kendric immediately flashed a smile, and ordered someone to arrange the
lunch.

Myles’s lips curved into a not–so–sincere smile. With his presence, Kendric
had no chance to stay alone with Celeste. As Myles found Kendric’s burning
gaze on Celeste, he instantly asked Celeste out with an excuse of taking a stroll.
Kendric choked with silent fury.
With a short eye contact with him, Celeste turned and followed her father
out. They silently strolled in the snow–covered yard. The snow scrunched
underfoot.
“Dad, you shouldn’t blame Kendric on this thing. After all, I’m the one who
offered to stay and help.”
Myles sighed, “would you have stayed to help if he hadn’t fallen ill and been.
hospitalized? I bet no, so the problem lies with him. His fault.”
Celeste had no words to refute. She lowered her head and looked at her
footprints on the snow in silence.
Myles halted, then turned around and asked her with a unusually serious look, “be honest with me and yourself, do you still want to be with Kendric?”
Instinctively, Celeste nodded her head, but after realizing it, she paused,
and firmly shook her head, “it’s not that I don’t want to, but I won’t.”
When Celeste nodded her head, Myles’s expression was like a canvas of conflicting emotions, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she shook
her head.
“Remember what you said today.”
Celeste’s eyes betrayed the slight sadness dwelling within. Myles, reminded her, “Kendric and you are not the same kind. You want freedom, but he is the

type with extremely strong possessiveness. He wants all of you, and he won’t
tolerate you having your own career or doing whatever you want. If you are
with him, painting will only become your hobby rather than your career. You
get it?”
Exactly, Myles understood Kendric’s personality very well. Kendric had
always been possessive of Celeste. He wants all of her, her love, and all her
focus.
Celeste reluctantly gave a nod. She got her father’s meaning.
“Don’t give up the freedom and career you’ve fought so hard for just
because of him.”
Celeste was finally convinced. “Dad, I won’t.”
Behind his eyes, Myles concealed a storm of feelings. He cast a meaningful
glance at his daughter. “Remember what you promised me today.”

At lunch, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Kendric was talking to Celeste. He showed no visible emotions.
When they were almost done eating, Myles cleared his throat. Kendric.set
down his utensils as he heard the sound.
“Celeste told me that she doesn’t want to be with you. So, Mr. Melville,
please don’t get close to my daughter and keep distance from her in the future.”

Kendric wiped his hands, and when he looked up again, he had a stern
He was giving off a sense of oppression, and he said in a sharp tone.
“Mr. Alinsky, are you interfering with Celeste’s choice? You previously claimed that as long as she leaves me, she will have freedom, but you’re now
actually restricting her freedom.”
Although Myles could see through that it was Kendric’s tactics again, but
when it came to negotiating skills, he was no match for Kendric.
“I won’t restrict her freedom. I didn’t stop her from studying abroad. Even if
she decides to settle down, get married abroad, and never come back, I won’t
stop her!”
When Kendric heard the words “get married abroad,” the anger in his eves
disappeared in an instant.
“If you’re not restricting her, why did you force her to keep distance from
me?” He leaned back in his chair. His body seemed less tense than just a
moment ago.
“You’re quite moved by yourself, as if you’ve sacrificed so much for your
daughter, huh?”
Veins on Myles’s forehead pulsed faintly as he glared at Kendric with
bloodshot eyes. It’s the first time in his life he had been satirized in this way.
“Kendric, shut your mouth!” Celeste said, and then she turned to Myles,
“dad, clam down.”
Myles gritted his teeth. The muscles on his cheeks trembled with anger.
“Kendric, you got a despicable mind, and don’t think I’m the same as you!”
Kendric smiled, “despicable? Mr. Alinsky, I can openly admit that I like

Myles glared, “you’re not worthy!”

Kendric slowly stood up and looked into Myles’s Alinsky, whether
I’m worthy or not is for Celeste to decide, not you.”
Celeste quickly pulled her father away, fearing they might start fighting
again.
