Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 178
The York family just suffered from great losses because of the Radcliffe Group's project. They wouldn't be mad enough to be enemies with the Bishop family now. It was clear that Henry was the one who brought Caleb away. But he might not have partnered up with Felix. Damon considered that. He sent someone to interrogate Felix. To his surprise, Felix also seemed to be threatened by someone else. He insisted that it was the York family who hired him and nobody else. Who else would know about Henry kidnapping Caleb? It could only be Leah, who always exaggerated the things she said to Serena! But Leah wouldn't partner up with Felix to kill him. She'd gain no benefits from killing him. Before Damon could go ask Leah about this, she came here on her own accord. "Are you alright, Damon? I was so scared after hearing what happened. I even dreamed about you being in danger." It was as if she didn't see the unconscious Celeste on the bed at all. She teared up the moment she saw Damon.

Celeste only woke up in the morning three days after the incident. Her head was hurting badly. And she felt uncomfortable. She turned around and made a noise. The next thing she knew, she was pulled into a warm embrace. "You're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Damon hugged her with his uninjured arm. His bandaged left arm was hanging limply by the side. "You're hurt? What happened?" Celeste was shocked. She checked his left arm. After a while, she finally recalled what happened before she blacked out. "Thank god you're alive," she mumbled as she leaned closer to Damon's chest. Damon's heart warmed up. Quietly, he hugged her tighter. Her mind wasn't the sharpest since she just woke up. After a minute, Celeste yelled, "Where's Caleb? How long have I been unconscious? Save Caleb!" She was about to get out of Damon's arms. Damon only managed to calm her down after a while. "Caleb is in the hospital too. But not here." Caleb was in such a weak state that he was

Shocked, Celeste stared at Damon. He seemed to have grown thinner these past few days. His jawline was sharper than ever. The stubble around his mouth made him look carefree yet seductive. Suddenly, he held the back of her head carefully and lifted her chin. The two were so close to each other that they could feel each other's breath. Damon's intense staring made her blush. "I-I'll think about it," Celeste stuttered. "You'll think about it?" Damon raised his brow in dissatisfaction. This woman probably didn't know how many other women out there wished they could have kids with him. Before he met Celeste, Damon would imagine what his future wife would look like. But he never thought about how his child would turn out to be. Would Celeste be happier if she had a child? Besides, if they had a child, this woman would consider the fact that she was a mother before she made any decisions. She wouldn't dare to do anything risky anymore. Although Damon didn't want to admit it, bu

"Let's eat downstairs. We'll be visiting Caleb after the meal anyway," she said. Everything was done for Celeste in the bedroom. "We'll see how things go. I can ask my men to send Caleb over. You better recover well at home." Damon had a change of mind ever since he heard that she had a concussion. "What about you? Are you going to rest here with me?" Celeste was a little dissatisfied. "I'll do most of my work at home. After all, we have to give birth to a daughter," Damon answered matter-of-factly. "Huh? Why are we in such a hurry?" Celeste was speechless. Damon was truly impulsive. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a daughter. If the daughter inherited Damon's genes, she would have great looks and intelligence. As for her personality … Celeste glanced at Damon. He was emotional. He wasn't simple and calm enough. "We can't just make babies so easily." She didn't know what else to say. Damon lowered down and pressed kisses all over her face. "Be good and stay here. I'll g

She walked to him as if she was hypnotized. She stood still half a step away from Damon. Her face was scarlet and her breathing was uneven. Even her pale neck turned pink. Damon snatched a towel from the side and wrapped it around his waist. He then grabbed Celeste's hand to touch his abs. His body was still a little wet as he didn't dry himself completely. It was warm and humid. Celeste's eyes were unfocused. Even her tiny hands trembled slightly. "You like it, don't you?" Damon was so turned on that his voice was hoarse. Celeste didn't want to say a thing. She looked away to avoid his gaze. "Why are you so naughty, my darling?" Damon leaned close to her and whispered. He lowered his head to meet her lips. At the same time, he guided her hand to snatch the towel off his waist. Celeste's heart was beating hard against her chest. In a daze, she was pressed against the bathroom door. At such a moment, Damon remembered to cushion her head with his hand. He was quite a dete

In the ward, Damon was holding a cup for Caleb to drink. The scene of both of them together looked harmonious for some reason. Celeste teared up. Caleb never had to suffer from the world's cruelty under Celeste and their mother's protection. He had always looked naive and innocent. She was surprised when Damon said that Caleb fainted because he wasn't willing to eat anything. "If you dare to go on a hunger strike again, I'll smack your butt," she said in shock. Now that Caleb was safe, her eyes welled up with tears. "Celeste, I hate Henry," Caleb said. "It was Damon who saved me. He's amazing." He suffered from so much for the past few days, yet he put on a bright smile just to make Celeste feel better. "I like Damon." He knew that it was Damon who had paid for his heart transplant surgery and his stay at the hospital. He could tell that Damon treated Celeste quite well too. Damon's heart softened when he heard Caleb calling him by his first name. But on the surface,

Thankfully, there was nothing wrong with Caleb aside from his low blood sugar level. Damon brought him to their house and arranged for him to live in the bedroom next to theirs. Caleb had always been living in the hospital since he was younger. He was curious to see everything in Damon's villa. The moment they entered the house, he glanced here and there. It was probably their mother who gave Celeste and Caleb their names. Just like their names, both of them were kind and attractive. Henry should be lucky to have them as his children, yet he treated them so horribly! Damon smiled when he saw the joy on Caleb's face. "You can tell Edna to make anything you want to eat. Look for the butler if you want any toys." Caleb had to undergo a systematic flow of recuperation. It wouldn't be practical for him to stay here for long. But Damon thought that it was a good idea to have him here with Celeste for a few days. Of course, Damon regretted this idea when it was nighttime. It w

Damon carried Celeste back into their room. He also turned off the lights for Caleb on his way out. "See you tomorrow, Caleb." After the kidnapping incident, Celeste and Damon discovered a new side to Caleb. Although he was kind, he wasn't naive. He would've done great things if he wasn't trapped in his unhealthy body. Because of that, Caleb couldn't help but express his opinions when Celeste told him the story of Hamlet. "Okay, good night, Damon." Caleb hid his fear away and grinned widely. He closed his eyes. Back in their room, Damon placed Celeste on the bed. He rested his arms on either side of her as he stared at her darkly. Celeste knew that Damon was a little upset. She looked down and didn't dare to meet his eyes. "Do you hate the York family that much? You'd even sacrifice your life to fight them?" Celeste was silent for a while. "Yes." "Even if you have your brother, husband, and friends, you would do that?" Damon had such a serious look on his face tha

He never would have imagined that the intelligent and aloof Celeste would have a day like this, appearing adorably naive and innocent.Damon used to like girls who were delicate and pure, but that changed when he met Celeste.She had a face full of charm and allure, but her expression and personality were always cold and unyielding. She was pale and slim, yet not childlike. On the contrary, she resembled a young poplar tree, proud and upright.Because of her, he began to like girls who sparked his desire to conquer, and he scoffed at those who were simply weak and shy.But now with Celeste like this, he didn't feel annoyed. In fact, not only was he not annoyed, he actually found it cute and interesting.“What's your name?” she asked again."Damon.""Oh, that sounds really nice."The initial confusion in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sparkling glimmer, and her tone carried a touch of a young girl's excitement."You are actually my husband… Wow, great job, me! I've managed to

"What? Aren’t you my husband? Do I still need to avoid you while changing clothes?" The confusion in Celeste's eyes didn’t seem fake.Damon was speechless and didn't know how to respond at that moment.When Damon didn't respond, Celeste suddenly felt a bit nervous."I'm sorry… I can't remember clearly. Aren't you my husband?"Damon raised an eyebrow casually and asked, "Why do you think I am?"Celeste innocently blinked, her eyelashes fluttering like fans. "The nurse said it. Besides, if you're not my husband, why would you sleep with me at night?""What did the nurse say?" Her reasoning was actually logical and undeniable. For a moment, Damon found it somewhat amusing."The nurse said that my husband is really thoughtful," Celeste responded seriously. Then she asked, "Aren't you my husband? Then why would you be willing to stay here with me so late?"This one sentence left Damon speechless.The reason he was willing was because he was a coward. He said that he didn't care abo

Damon frowned upon hearing the classic amnesiac questions being asked."Celeste, are you trying to act out a TV drama?"Celeste still looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"Damon didn't answer and went straight to the director's office to get Nicholas.Knowing her, she wasn't the type to joke around, especially not with Leo still missing. She must have hit her head hard.Nicholas was equally surprised and hurried back to the room with Damon.Celeste was sitting up, hugging her knees and staring into space."You're awake? How do you feel?" Nicholas asked with a smile as he entered."Why am I here?" Her voice sounded hesitant, and she turned to look at them.Her confusion seemed genuine. Nicholas and Damon exchanged worried glances."Celeste… you don't remember?""Celeste?" She asked, "Is that my name?""Yes.""I don't remember. My mind is blank.""Do you remember… Leo?" Nicholas hesitated. After all, if she knew that her child had been missing for three days, he was wo

"Alright," Celeste said in a deep voice. "Let me see Leo first."They pushed open the hidden door, revealing a staircase leading to the basement."Have Leo come to the stairway corner." She stood at the dark staircase and negotiated with the kidnapper."Mommy!" Suddenly, Leo's desperate cry echoed from inside."Leo!" Celeste ditched everything else and rushed down the stairs.She ran ahead, and as soon as she reached the corner, there was a loud explosion, and a wave of heat hit her face."Celeste!""Celeste!"Damon and Winston's faces changed drastically, shouting in alarm.The basement was empty. It was a trap.Had they been more careful, they would have noticed that both the kidnapper’s voice and Leo’s cry were artificially synthesized. But Celeste, in her desperation to save her son, had been too frantic to discern this.The basement was rigged with landmines. Unfortunately, something went wrong. The mine exploded when Celeste reached the stairway corner, instead of when

What? Damon was also coming? Celeste felt her heart leap, and her voice became sharper as she said, "I can handle this. You can't come!"There was no response from his end.Observing Damon’s silence, Celeste quickly softened her tone. "Damon, listen to me. I can handle this alone. There's no need for you to get involved… because I'm their main target, and they likely won't harm Leo. You need to stay home and wait for him. You need to take care of him later on…""Celeste," Damon interrupted coldly. "Are you planning on not coming out alive?"Of course, coming out alive would be ideal, but she couldn’t guarantee that."Damon, I do have a chance of surviving, but when it comes to exchanging myself for Leo, there can be no room for error. We must follow the kidnapper's instructions to ensure Leo's safety."It was out of the question to provide a false sense of security and pretend to comply with the kidnapper, only to backtrack and get Leo killed.She needed to ensure Leo’s safety a

They checked all the surveillance footage near the Bishop residence and investigated every suspicious vehicle. They also had people keeping an eye on Henry, but after half a day, there was still no breakthrough.The kidnappers had taken Leo to threaten Celeste, and the lack of communication was meant to unnerve her. If it was according to predictions, she was supposed to wait for their demands. But, as a mother, she couldn't just sit and do nothing.Celeste remembered that Shannon had called her, so she found her contact in the blacklist and called."Shannon, did you and Henry kidnap Leo?" she demanded.Shannon laughed coldly. "Don't accuse us without any evidence. Your son is missing? Maybe it's karma. Hahaha!"Celeste hung up, unable to stand Shannon's smugness.Several teams searched for over 20 hours, even involving the police, but still had no solid leads. Celeste suspected Henry, but they couldn't just arrest him without any proof.She was extremely desperate. She didn't e

"Lester isn't as clever as Leo. He's just a four-year-old child, and he shouldn't have done anything like that," Serena instinctively defended Lester. Then, recalling the last time she had misunderstood Leo for similar reasons, she felt a pang of guilt and added, "I don't mean to imply anything… I'll have someone bring Lester here."Celeste nodded. "I'm not blaming Lester. I just want to understand what happened."Soon, the nanny looking after Lester brought him in. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Celeste, Lester burst into tears."Aunty Celeste, please don't hit me. I didn't mean to lose my brother!""Lester, I just want to understand what happened." Celeste was taken aback by his crying but kneeled down to speak gently. "I'm not blaming you. Can you tell me what you saw that day?""Aunty Celeste, don't hit me!" Lester kept crying, not saying a word about Leo's disappearance."Am I that scary, Lester?"At this moment, Celeste felt at a loss. She could communicate normally with Leo,

Celeste perfectly understood what Cedric's implied. "I mean, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to entertain me today."Cedric had indeed wanted to help her that day, but his identity was too special to admit it openly. The scratch on the paper was a subtle hint, and whether or not she could interpret it depended on her intuition. The fact that she could decipher such a subtle hint proved her intelligence and luck.Over the years, Cedric had developed a sense of respect for Celeste after learning about her. He felt she was deserving of assistance, but he couldn't make it obvious."However, be careful. I see that Henry is at the end of his rope and might act irrationally. You should be on guard," Cedric warned.Celeste nodded, having considered this as well. "Henry wants me dead."This was why she had her brother stay abroad and sent Leo to the Bishops. With only herself remaining, it was harder for Henry to use her loved ones against her."Take care of yourse

Celeste's deduction was correct. Cedric intentionally left the mark. As Winston dug deeper, he slowly uncovered a series of issues.It was a bridge project on a highway in a poor mountainous area. Not uncommon.The problem was that the person in charge of this project was a leader assigned from a first-tier city to oversee the development. Officially, he was recognised for his capabilities, but in reality, this task was one he had to succeed in without failure.He had offended someone, and this transfer was a disguised punishment under the guise of a major responsibility.If he had managed it well, the chances of him returning to a higher development role would have been slim. At best, he could stay in this position until retirement. If he didn't manage it well, his entire career could be ruined.Someone of such status naturally had supporters as well as opponents. In such a situation, it was impossible for anyone to sabotage and create pitfalls along the way."It seems the next
