Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 29 Why Is She Crying?
Henry knew about everything that was happening. But he wasn't sympathetic at all and happily stood by as his son's life was used as a bargaining chip."You would stand by and watch your son die. Henry York, y-you're heartless!"Although Celeste had long known about Henry's personality, she still hoped that he had some humanity in him. It now seemed that she had been too foolish."If Damon doesn't marry Shannon, the York family will be done for! I need to look at the bigger picture!" Henry said as he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.His words were unquestionably shameless. Celeste didn't bother to listen any longer. She simply turned and left.The instant she walked out of the café doors, Celeste was unable to hold back her emotions. She curled up on the busy street and started bawling.Damon had just finished a meeting and was heading home. He closed his eyes and rested for a bit while in the car. "Isn't that Ms. York?" Liam asked, prompting Damon to abruptly ope

As she spoke, Celeste buried her head in Damon's chest. Then, there came her muffled voice. "Shannon is the best match for you. I shouldn't have disrupted your life. I'll leave Taverdale tomorrow." Damon lost his temper right away.He forced Celeste's head up. "Celeste York, who do you take me for?"She was the one who had gotten involved with him but was now leaving him behind. Celeste angered him to the point where a vein pulsed at his temple."I'm sorry." Celeste suddenly looked down.Damon didn't respond. He just stood up and walked off.Celeste tossed and turned half the night but didn't manage to fall asleep. At 4:00 am, she got up and left.Damon couldn't sleep either. He heard the door open from the room beside him and frowned."Tell Nicholas to hurry up." He sent a WhatsApp message to Liam."Yes, boss." Liam's reply was swift. It was a basic rule for Damon's staff to respond instantaneously at any time.…After leaving Damon's villa, Celeste hailed a cab and we

"If you could be as shameless as I am, Dr. Davies, then I'm sure you could get Damon to sleep with you as well," Celeste said with a chuckle. She was being honest. After all, she did think herself shameless to trick Damon into sleeping with her countless times. Celeste didn't find herself attractive—all she had was her bravado.Nicholas was incredibly amused by this answer.He quickly understood why Celeste was thought to be attractive and charming. Beautiful women were everywhere, and someone with Damon's status would never find themselves short of women.But unlike these other women, Celeste never imagined Damon would fall in love with her.She did not think badly of herself just because of her career. Nor did she feel happy because she got Damon to sleep with her.These were all just a way for Celeste to achieve her goal, and so no emotions were attached to them."I pity Damon then. He's met such a skilled opponent on his first time around," said Nicholas as his smile widene

Damon raised an eyebrow and said, "You're so wild, Celeste. Can't you be more ladylike?""You know how I am, Mr. Bishop," Celeste grinned, leaning into Damon. They both breathed the same air for a moment."Shannon York is the best choice to be Mrs. Bishop," Damon said calmly."True." The light in Celeste's eyes dimmed, and she instinctively pulled away from him. "Well … goodbye then."Celeste then turned around to leave.Was she giving up so easily? It did not seem like her style, Damon thought. However, he did not feel like calling for her to come back.He had said those words just to annoy Celeste. Who knew he would have ended up being the mean one?Damon's expression grew ugly. He got out of the car and strode back into the house with a poker face.The next second, Celeste ran back to him and dove into his arms.Her warmth and softness made Damon's heart pound in his chest.He held tightly onto her and marched upstairs.Celeste had been here four times. Including now, Dam

Davidson Hospital was the hospital Nicholas opened. It was also the hospital Celeste wished she could visit often.She easily found the emergency room Damon was in. There were already many people waiting outside, two of whom Celeste had met before—Liam and Jasper.They were currently comforting Shannon, who was sobbing her eyes out."What's going on?" Celeste asked. She had been too rushed to ask over the phone earlier."Ms. Shannon ran into the middle of the road to get in Mr. Bishop's way. Mr. Bishop ended up swerving and crashing the car into a railing to keep her safe," Liam explained truthfully."Damon got into the accident all because he didn't want me to get hurt! If something happens to him, I won't let him pass on all alone!" Shannon cried, attracting the attention of the passersby. Only Celeste could see her true intention.While Celeste did think about Damon getting into an accident while driving to City Hall, it turns out it was all because of Shannon … Bitterness w

"Celeste is such an ice queen. I don't even know why Damon likes her!" Jasper huffed, still angry about Celeste's earlier behavior.Nicholas had bore witness to how intelligent Celeste was before this. With a chuckle, he said, "It takes two to tango. Who knows, Celeste might be as wild in bed as she is cold."The men's conversation was unfiltered as usual. Only then did Nicholas recall Shannon was here.Nicholas felt awkward and hurriedly said, "Relationships can't be forced, Shannon."…Celeste went to Caleb's ward right after leaving the ER. Caleb was reading some comics on his bed when she entered. Snacks and sweets littered his bedside. There was even a Playstation 5 game console."Did Megan or Lawrence come to visit?" Celeste asked."No. Dr. Davies brought someone called Liam over to visit. Liam was the one who brought me these comics and the game console so I wouldn't be bored here." Caleb happily showed his gifts to Celeste."Liam … Liam Fletcher?" she questioned."Ye

"You're the one who seduced Damon and stole him from me! How could you act like nothing happened when you're the mistress who ruined our relationship?" Shannon got up and yelled, triggered by the sight before her."You know very well if I'm the mistress here, Shannon York," said Celeste, facing her with a cold expression. She continued with a disdainful tone, "Why not just stop all these tricks and tell the truth? You're like an old, dirty piece of gum stuck under my man's shoes. You're just insulting yourself at this point."Her words made Shannon want the ground to open up and swallow her in embarrassment.Shannon was always mindful of her public appearance. She always wanted to come off as dignified in front of Damon and his friends. But now she'd been reduced to 'an old, dirty piece of gum' …"I'll come visit you tomorrow, Damon," Shannon cried and ran out weeping."Did you have to be so cruel, Celeste?" Damon asked with a furrow of his brow as he watched Shannon leave. He h

"Okay!" Celeste said again, looking away as tears filled her eyes.Damon felt happier upon hearing her answer. He kissed the top of her head."What did you call me earlier? Can you say it again?" teased Damon."Huh?" Celeste turned back to him curiously."What did you call me in front of Shannon earlier?" Damon's hand began snaking along her waist.Celeste thought about it for a moment."I said … you were my man?" she said as her cheeks burned."Then you better remember that from now on," Damon said."But you're not yet … " Celeste's words were muffled as Damon kissed her.Until now, she was still unsure of how Damon felt about her. Did he like her? She did not think so. After all, Celeste had not yet done anything that would make him like her.Heck, not even Damon knew why. Although he hated how forceful and prickly she was, he could not deny the way his heart felt about her.That night, Celeste slept with Damon in the hospital bed.She did not seem to be having the best s

Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 753
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
