Chapter 131
Kendric silently observed the struggle on Celeste’s face. She had the
expression as if she was waiting for a trial.
He still had a calm tone, “I know what I’m saying. Celeste, I love you and I
want you to be my wife. It’s not an impulsive decision.”
“If fate forces me to choose, the cost of being with you forever is not having
a child. You should know how I would choose. Nothing is worth to compare
with you.”
“Over these years, we have experienced many twists or misunderstandings.
But I’ve never thought about letting you leave my life. Not for a second. When
you rejected my proposal and declared to everyone that you would never marry
me, I didn’t think about giving up our love.”
“For over two years while you were abroad and I was not allowed to see
you, I didn’t think about giving up.”
“When you treated everyone with kindness and warmth, but kept giving
me cold shoulders, I still didn’t think about giving up.”
“Celeste, they say I own a lot since I was born, but you are what I desire the
most, what I will cherish the most.”
It’s the first time that Celeste got to know Kendric’s innermost feelings in
these years.
“After we broke up, I often pondered what made you leave me. I love you,
but why didn’t I cherish you sooner? Every time I thought of it, remorse killed
- me. I’m not gonna let it happen again.”
His gaze was tender yet firm, “whatever we will have kids or not, I don’t

give shit. I am sure what I want is you, Celeste Alinsky. Do I still have a
chance?”
Celeste lowered her head. Tears mixed with faint joy and unknown sorrow
fell onto her hands.
“I need some time to answer,” she said.
Kendric nodded gently, “sure. I won’t push you.”
“I won’t push you anymore.”

Celeste was feeding porridge for Kendric. She had just cried, and her eyes were red and swollen.
After finishing a whole bowl porridge, Kendric felt revived, “can you go to Sharon and get a document for me.”
Celeste agreed. Compared to staying in the room, she would rather and breathe some fresh air to clear her mind.
go out
The hospital wasn’t far from the resort hotel. Kendric had been urgently brought here after his injury from the fall.
Celeste drove back to the hotel and pressed the doorbell according to the room number given by Kendric. After a while, there was no response from inside. She made a call to Sharon.
“What’s up?”
“I’m at your room door. Kendric told me to get some documents.”
Sharon was lying on the bed, “documents?” then it occurred to her

something and she changed her tone, “oh, yeah, wait. I’m coming.”
Celeste waited outside the door. And soon the doorknob clicked and turned.
Sharon appeared. It seemed she had just woken up, and she wearing a loose
bathrobe that revealed her cleavage.
She took a step back, “come in.”
Celeste’s intuition told her that there should be someone else inside.
Sure enough, the next second, a male voice came from the inner bedroom,
“who is it?”
Celeste thought she must be in a dream, otherwise why would she hear
Adrian’s voice here?!!
Celeste gaped at Sharon, who however, showed no signs of panic.
Sharon randomly took out a whatever document in her bag and handed it to Celeste, “here. What a workaholic he is! He still thinks about work now.”
With that, she swayed her hips and walk ed back into the bedroom.
!!!
Celeste was dumbfounded.
Soon, giggles came from inside the room. Celeste quickly left.
Did she just catch Kendric’s girlfriend with another man?
Celeste inexplicably felt sorry for Kendric. He might still be ignorant of this. Even if Sharon wasn’t his girlfriend, obviously they were not simply friends.
He was still lying in the hospital, but his girlfriend was two–timing him-
Poor Kendric…
After returning to the hospital, Celeste still had no way to clam herself
down. She was torn inside about whether to tell Kendric or not.
She pushed open the door and at once her eyes met his pale face. A great
wave of pity surged from her heart.
“Why are you looking at me with that expression?” Kendric still had no idea that he had become a very pitiful figure in Celeste’s eyes.
“Huh?… um…” she handed the document to him. Sharon should confess to Kendric herself, Celeste thought. And if Sharon didn’t, she then would tell him.
“It’s late now. You should have a rest. Put down the document. The doctor also advised you not to use your brain too much,” she softly said.
Kendric did as she said, “are you leaving now?”
She checked the time, “I’ll leave at ten.”
“What time is it now?”
“It’s 9:40.”
He sighed, “there are only twenty minutes left.” His tone was filled with sadness reluctance. The twenty minutes were so precious to him.
Celeşte felt her heart skipped a beat, “I… I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
His eyes lit up, “okay,” he said, “then I’ll be waiting for you.”
At ten o’clock, a nurse came to take over the night shift.
Celeste drove back to the hotel. She had left Sienna alone at the hotel for a
whole day.

“Cely!” Sienna rushed to hug her and cried. “You scared me! What exactly
happened?” she scanned Celeste from top to bottom, “are you injured?”
Celeste shook her head with a smile, “no.”
She dragged Sienna into the room, “it’s a long story. I met Ophelia yesterday,
but I didn’t expect her to be so audacious.‘

“Ophelia Bates? You met her! Where?”
Celeste briefly recounted the incident to her.
Sure enough, Sienna was furious, “she’s crazy! The fate of her family is entirely of their own making, but she blamed everything on you!”
Celeste nodded, “she hates me to the core.”

Sienna soothed, “Cely, don’t take it to heart. This has nothing to do with
“I know.”
Sienna patted her chest, “fortunately, Kendric was there to protect you. How is he now?”
“He suffered concussion. It will take some time for him to recover. Don’t worry, the doctor said it’s not so serious.”
There’s a short silence. Sienna said with lingering fear, “luckily you are both fine. What are your thoughts now?”
“What are you referring to?”
