Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 225
Although Serena was an assertive woman, she wasn't evil at heart. She heard from Damon about how Sylvia helped James out and how the engagement agreement came about. She accepted their marriage wholeheartedly, especially after seeing James' emerald pendant. She was biased toward Celeste back then, so it was difficult for her to judge Celeste neutrally and rationally. But after observing Celeste the whole evening, Serena finally saw some good sides to her. Celeste stood her ground back when Serena was harsh to her. But now that Serena treated her well, she didn't attempt to seize the chance and please Serena either. She was unfazed whether she was treated well or badly. She was neither timid nor arrogant. Putting her family background aside, wasn't she a perfect example of a cultured and graceful woman? Both Celeste and Serena were unyielding women. Serena was cold toward Celeste for half a year. Celeste treated her the same throughout that entire period. But now that they had c

"Don't be bothered by Carly. She's been too spoiled by everyone." Damon reached out to pull Celeste into his arms. "I don't get worked up over unimportant people." Celeste was stating the truth. She wasn't an emotional person in the first place. Coupled with the fact that she was filled with resentment toward the York family, she couldn't be bothered by Leah's tricks at all, not to mention someone like Carly. Damon hugged her tighter as he kissed her eyes. He sighed and said, "Sometimes, I don't even know what to say to make you happy." Celeste was touched by his words. Her face softened a little as she stared at Damon. But she remained silent. As expected, Serena told the maids to bring a few bags of herbs and fruits over before they left. There were so many bags that they couldn't fit them in the trunk. They had to put some in the backseat. On their way back, Celeste expressed her surprise as she leaned on Damon's shoulder. "You and your family really do things in the same

"He's really nice to me. He remembers anyone or anything that I care about. He helped Caleb get a heart transplant. Not only that, but he helped me out with a lot of things too. He just looks cold on the outside, but he's a kindhearted man. If you were still alive, you would've liked him very much too. "I'll make sure to avenge you by spring. I'll send Henry to jail myself." It was beginning to snow harder. The snowflakes landed on Celeste's head. They didn't melt in time, so there was a layer of snow up on her head. She was always a quiet person. But she shared a lot of things with Sylvia today. Resting her weak body against the tombstone, she seemed like a lonely black dot in the snow. Her voice was so hoarse and sickly that it'd ache anyone's heart. Not far away, Damon had been here for a long while. As he listened to her cry miserably, he felt the urge to hug and coax her. But he thought that it wouldn't be appropriate to do that in front of the tomb of his mother-in-la

She assumed that it would require a longer time to get pregnant. To her surprise, she managed to achieve that very soon. Not long after New Year, Celeste had symptoms of early pregnancy such as headaches and drowsiness. She also couldn't eat greasy food. After calculating her period, she realized that it was half a month late! Damon happened to be on a business trip. She took the pregnancy test herself at home. It was positive! That was fast! Her health was normal, so the result couldn't be inaccurate. Holding the test kit, Celeste was in a daze for nearly two hours. She couldn't believe that she was going to be a mother just like that. A child with Celeste's blood would arrive in this world very soon. It must have been Sylvia's prayers that worked after seeing how well Damon treated her on that day. Celeste called Megan up. She tried her best to sound calm. "Come to the hospital with me." They avoided Davidson Hospital and instead went to a Women and Children Hos

Shannon and Megan were fighting each other. They pulled each other's hair and scratched each other's faces. None of them was willing to back down. Megan purposely distanced themselves away from Celeste as she was worried that they might hurt her. The fight was eventually stopped by the security at the hospital. Shannon's face was scratched by Megan. But Megan wasn't in any better state. Her bun was pulled off and she lost an earring. She looked like a mess. After exiting the hospital, Celeste reached out to hug Megan as she teared up. "What are you crying for? I've been wanting to give Shannon a lesson. She needed it." Megan patted Celeste on her back. "You're not allowed to cry. If you do, my goddaughter wouldn't be happy in your belly either." Celeste finally laughed. "The fetus isn't fully developed yet. Besides, it might not be a daughter." "It's okay. It'll be the best if it's a baby girl. But I won't complain if it's a boy either." Megan caressed Celeste's tummy. Re

Celeste felt like time had slowed down ever since she became pregnant. She was excited for Damon to come back. She even decided on how she'd tell him about it. Based on what she knew about Damon, Damon would certainly bring a gift back for her. By then, she could blindfold Damon's eyes and show him the pregnancy report in return. Damon would certainly be happy when he saw this. But as someone with a big ego, he'd pretend to look calm on the outside. Perhaps it was because of the hormonal change in her body due to pregnancy that Celeste became much more gentle. She was excited to bring the child into this world. She even bought a lot of things for prenatal education online. She was preparing to play some music and read bedtime stories for the baby in her belly. To her surprise, Carly came to see her before Damon did. "Celeste York, why did you send an email to the Schultz group?" Carly demanded in fury as she stormed into her house. Celeste was dumbfounded. "What did I s

"There's only one thing I ask for. I don't want to see Carly ever again." Celeste was done being pestered by Carly, who wouldn't let her go. "Of course. Uncle Nick, Aunt Becky, you two should bring Carly back home first. I'll look into this matter properly. If it wasn't done by Celeste, Carly should either continue her studies abroad or get married earlier. She will not appear anywhere around the family again." Damon had the power to decide on everything related to the Bishop family. His words naturally held a lot of power. Although Nick had his own business too, he still had to rely on Damon. So he couldn't afford to offend Damon. "Thank god the baby is okay. I'll be sure to punish Carly and make her apologize to Celeste." Nick was terrified. He was even more respectful toward Damon than how he usually was. "It was Celeste who schemed against me first! I didn't know she was pregnant when I pushed her! She's just a bitch—" Carly complained in dissatisfaction outside of the wa

"Jasper, you finally thought of me." Leah and Jasper decided on the time and place to meet each other. Leah even did a full makeup. Dressed provocatively, she walked over and spoke to Jasper with excitement. But Jasper wasn't swayed. Crossing his arms, he looked at her. "You're the one who wrote the draft about Carly." In just one day, he managed to find out that one of his staff had been having monetary transactions with Leah. "Did he admit it already?" Leah frowned. If he exposed her so quickly, all the money she gave him would have gone to waste. Jasper shook his head. "He insisted that he was the one who wanted to do it." "If that's the case, you shouldn't have suspected me then." Seeing how cold Jasper was toward her, her heart sank. She gave up. Jasper's eyes were icy and dark. "Not only did you almost cause Celeste to have a miscarriage, you managed to embarrass the Bishop and Schultz families. You killed three birds with one stone. "I'm warning you, this will be

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
