Chapter 112
She brought her father out the room and sighed, “dad, why did you have to
deliberately provoke him?”
Myles was indeed infuriated. He had never encountered anyone who dared
to confront him like Kendric did today. “If I didn’t provoke him, how would I
tear apart his false mask you see his true colors?”
Celeste lowered her head, “what true colors? You just provoked him to
admit he likes me…”
Myles snorted, “that brat!”
Celeste persuaded, “dad, you’re not the kind of person who deliberately
stirs up trouble. Why are you so harsh on Kendric?”
“There’s no reason! I just dislike him!”
Celeste fell silent. Well, disliking someone didn’t require a reason, for her
father.
It’s about time for them to leave. Celeste went to the ward to bid farewell to
Kendric.
The ward was empty. She walked around inside but couldn’t find Kendric,
so she decided to leave. Before she could turn around, she heard the do
behind her being locked.
It was none other than Kendric.
“Why did you lock the door?”
He mumbled, “your dad may come in again.”

Celeste smiled, “don’t be petty. You pissed off my dad, too.”
Kendric walked over and wrapped his arms around her. The next moment,
his chin rested on her shoulder, “so, I came to apologize to you. I shouldn’t have
been impolite to your dad.”
Celeste was a bit puzzled by him now. He had just quarreled with her dad at
the dinner table, but then he turned around to apologize to her.
“I’ll go out to apologize to your dad.”
“My dad is also at fault. Don’t be mad at him. He’s always been like this. He
raised me alone and he couldn’t bear seeing me suffer any grievances, so I can’t
say anything that would hurt his feelings.
Kendric’s chin lightly rested on her shoulder, and he was unwilling to move
away.
“You keep speaking for your father. Why can’t you comfort me a bit? He said you’ll get married abroad and never come back!”
Celeste didn’t expect him to still be stuck on this, which was clearly, her father’s angry words. “When did I say I would get married abroad and never
come back?”
“I saw you walking with a French guy last time!”
Celeste recalled their last meeting at the hotel, and the man beside her… probably her colleague.
She found this jealous Kendric amusing, “that was my colleague.”
Kendric seized on the key point of her words, “so, you won’t date anyone for the three years you’re abroad?”

Celeste contemplated these two sentences. Was there any logical connection
here?
Her silence clearly displeased him, so he questioned closely, “you’re not
gonna settle abroad, are you?”
Celeste shook her head, “no, I don’t plan to settle abroad, and I have no
plans for dating in recent years.”
Kendric chuckled, like a child who succeeded in a prank. He kissed her on
the neck and said, “remember your words.”
Afterward, he left Celeste in place and went to find Myles.
They talked for about half an hour. Finally, Kendric came out in a good
mood, and Myles’s expression also eased considerably.
Although Kendric was reluctant to let her go, he pretended to be clam as he
saw her off.
The car started moving slowly. It wasn’t until Kendric’s figure faded away in her sight that Celeste asked her father, “what did you two talk about just now?”
Myles snorted, “he said that for the rest two years you’re abroad, he won’t disturb you.”
Celeste’s heart skipped a beat, then she heard him continue, “with only one condition that I have to agree to him pursuing you two years later.”
Celeste was shocked that Kendric had made this agreement with her father behind her back. But strangely, Kendric’s move had gained some goodwill from Myles.
Back home, after only a few days, it was time for school to start again.
Chapte112
This day, Celeste was packing her luggage when Eulalie McCartney came to
find her.
“Eula! Have you packed your thing? When is your flight?”
Eulalie forced a smile, but her smile flickered like a dying flame and was
stained with depression. “I’m not going back to school.”
Celeste widened her eyes, “why! Is it because your family? They don’t allow
you to leave?”
“It’s my own decision, it has nothing to do with others.”
Celeste was still in shock, “we paid a lot efforts to get into this school, why
would you give up just like that?”
Eulalie seemed reluctant to explain. She shook her head silently.
Under Celeste’s insistence, she finally explained, “my mother… she wants
me to get pregnant as soon as possible.”
Celeste’s bag slid out from her grip and dropped to the ground, “what the
hell?!”
Eulalie had an embarrassed look. She lowered her head and her neck
slightly bent.
“Then it’s Manuel? He wants you to bear him a child? That bastard!”
“No! Don’t blame Manuel… he doesn’t know about this. It’s my family’s idea. After last time my family suffered the crisis, they were worried that Vader family might break the alliance again, so they told me to…”
Celeste was totally pissed off by Eulalie’s family. Eulalie has her own
Chapter 112
thoughts and feelings, but they forced her to marry Manuel, and now even…
“You didn’t tell Manuel about this?”
Eulalie shook her head, “no, I can’t bring myself to say it.”
Celeste watched this friend struggle in a whirlpool from which was no way
to extricate, but she was so powerless to help. She didn’t possess the kind of
power and wealth that Kendric had, nor did she hold the status of Manuel.
She would go abroad to continue her study, while Eulalie would be bound
here. Celeste hugged he, “don’t be disheartened. You should have a talk with
Manuel. He’s your husband. He won’t harm you.”
Eulalie nodded, “Celeste, I really envy you.”
“For what?”
Eulalie fell into silence. Perhaps she envied Celeste for having a father who cherished her, or perhaps she envied her for having a man who deeply loved her, or maybe it was envy for her uncomplicated family background. In any case, Celeste lived the life that she had always wished for.
“Celeste, you will never give up painting, right?”
“Of course.”
“You must persevere, no matter what happens.” Eulalie spoke with tears.
