Chapter 116
Celeste didn’t want him to misunderstand anything and clarified, “I’m not interested in him. If I were, I wouldn’t have gotten into your car tonight. We
haven’t seen each other for two years, I thought your feelings had faded.” She
softly explained. She had considered this issue two years ago.
What if Kendric fell in love with someone else during these two years?
After all, the least valuable thing in this world is promises.
In these two years, Kendric’s plan was that by the time Celeste returned,
everything she wanted to do had already been done. And Myles would no longer
object them to be together, so all the barriers between them had dissolved. It
should have been a perfect resolution.
But he had no idea that Celeste’s plan was completely different. She
believed that waiting one more day would gradually wear down their affection,
and when the love faded, she would leave.
“Faded?” Kendric had a grim expression.
Celeste smiled and she probed, “you’re busy with work all the time, and I don’t have time dwelling on this relationship, either. We weren’t indispensable to each other. After two years, that bit of love should have faded…”
Kendric raised an eyebrow and gave her a glance. “Is that so? Well, then we should spend more time together to prevent our feelings from, fading.”
A moment of silence filled the car.
“How did you meet Adrian Katz?” In reality, he wanted to inquire about their relationship. But Celeste was busy with academic life and her job for the past two years, she had no time for romance.
Kendric had confidence in this.
Celeste’s smile grew fainter, almost invisible, “alright, it’s just a dance. Stop questioning. Even if I know him, what’s the big deal?”
Who he think he was to hold this interrogative attitude toward her?
Kendric snorted, “then why didn’t you come to see me first?” His expression
was unusually serious, not at all like he was joking.
Kendric had only invested true feelings in Celeste. Especially in these past
two years, it could be said that he took care of her meticulously.
This tactic was taught to him by Ezra. He said women were easily moved.
As long as you treated them well, they would be moved by you.
Kendric just wished that Celeste could like him a bit more, that would be
enough for him.
“I’ve been busy with work since I came back. And you called me every half
an hour! Is there any difference I see you in person or not!”
“So work is more important than me?”
Celeste smiled. She narrowed her eyes like a cat. She was leaning against
the window, “you and work, I choose work.”
She lazily leaned back. Her collarbone was slightly revealed under her
collar.
Kendric’s throat tightened, and he loosened his tie. “You choose work?”
Celeste asked with a smile, “your work is important, but mine isn’t?”
Kendric clearly wasn’t led astray by her, “my work is important, but not as

important as you.”
Just as he blurted it out, his phone rang, and Celeste looked at him with a
sly smile.
“Oh, your work. Go ahead and answer it.”
A call this late usually meant an emergency.
Kendric answered the phone. When he raised his hand, a platinum wedding
ring on his ring finger caught Celeste’s attention.
This ring was extremely familiar to her.
It was a pair of wedding rings. Kendric had given her the engagement ring twice. The first time, she threw it in his house, and the second time, she tossed
it at their engagement ceremony.
This pair of rings had a troubled fate.
Now one of them was currently on Kendric’s ring finger. It perfectly
encased his finger.
Kendric quickly finished the call. “Need to leave right now?” She asked.
Kendric nodded, “yes, there’s been an accident at the research and
development facility.”
This was indeed an emergency.
“Just drop me off at the nearest subway station.”
Kendric insisted on taking her home. Celeste had seen trough his tricks,
“whose home you mean? This is not the way to my home.”
Celeste looked out the window as the wind whistled past her ears.

“We’re heading to my home,” he said.
Celeste declined. Enough she still smiled and said in a gentle tone, Kendric
knew she was angry. This is her bottom line.
Thus, when the car was about a kilometer away from Kendric’s house, it
turned around.
Kendric escorted Celeste back to her own apartment, and when the car
stopped downstairs, he got out as well.
They walked to the entrance of the building. She turned around. “I’ve
arrived.”
Kendric looked upstairs. “Which floor?”
“Sound like you have never been here before.”
“I forgot it.” He lied.
“Better hurry to deal with your emergency.” she rolled her eyes.
He really didn’t want to leave. He was like a dog was about to be dumped.
“I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Before she left abroad, Celeste gave her car to Sienna. Now she wasn’t
about to have her car back, but ready to get a new one.
“No need, I’m picking up a new car tomorrow.” She was no longer short of
money
“Have you decided which type to get?”
His detailed inquiries annoyed her, “stop focusing on my life, focus on your own family’s stocks!”

Kendric hurriedly stopped his questions. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow
morning.”
