"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
At that moment, Damon was looking at his phone to write her a few things about what she should eat as a pregnant woman. When he saw the WhatsApp notification, he tapped it open. It was an interview from a media platform that had grown popular recently. In the video, Celeste was just like any woman who dreamed of marrying into a rich family. She expressed her utmost admiration for her husband to the reporter. She said that her child's name would be decided by her husband and that she'd have four children just for her husband's sake. She was proud to be Damon's wife. The comment section was filled with mockery. "No way! When I saw Damon's confession in his post back then, I liked this woman a lot. But she's just another spoiled young socialite!" "She's just a regular girl who was lucky enough to marry a rich man. She sounded so ignorant in the interview. Did she think that she'd get to have a good life with the rich as long as she gave birth to children?" "After all, they h
