Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 381
The white-haired woman, who looked remarkable from the back, had a face that showed signs of aging. When she smiled, wrinkles appeared around her lips and eyes. Her white hair was natural, it wasn't dyed as a fashionable choice. She looked to be about 60 years old. But a woman who could drive a Ferrari and take such good care of her skin only suggested that she was even older than that. Megan and Celeste looked surprised momentarily, but they quickly regained their composure. "Ma'am, why are you changing tires by yourself? You can call for roadside assistance," Celeste said. She crouched down to help her fix the jack under the car. "There's no need for that; I can manage," the old lady replied. Still, she allowed Megan and Celeste to help her change the flat tire while she stood to the side with her hands folded. With a contented smile on her face, she watched the two girls. An elegant old lady and two pretty young women were changing the tire of a Ferrari on the roadside

Although they found out that Jane was Wish's grandmother, Celeste and Megan chose not to bring it up again. They just regarded Jane's invitation as a polite gesture and didn't think much about it. However, Jane sent them the address separately on Saturday morning. "My son is home today, so he can cook for you," she texted. Megan sent a screenshot of the text to Celeste. "What should we do?" She sounded nervous. "What can we do? You know Winston anyway. Why are you so nervous about visiting his place?" Celeste replied nonchalantly. "But what if Mr. Belasco thinks that I schemed and helped his mother out just to get closer to him?" Celeste was speechless. "Don't you think you're being overly cautious?" She's a young and affluent girl in her twenties. Yet, she was worrying about a man who was twenty years older than her. Although Winston was undoubtedly outstanding and handsome, Megan was certainly deserving of him.Celeste felt sorry for Megan, but she had never oppose

After learning that the three of them knew each other and were also business partners, Jane couldn't help but marvel at the twist of fate. "I felt a deep connection with these girls the moment I met them. I never expected that you were already friends," Jane exclaimed. She held Celeste and Megan's hands. "It seems that my son and I share the same perception toward people." Celeste smiled. "I heard from Wish last year that you'd be visiting when the weather turned warmer. I've been wanting to meet you ever since." "I was supposed to come over last spring, but Lily fell sick and had to recuperate in Southlake for a while. I was worried, so I didn't come over until I was sure she'd be fine on her own," Jane explained. Celeste didn't know who Lily was, so she didn't interrupt. "Mom sees Lily as her granddaughter. Her name is Lilian Gibson. She's been living with my mother, and she's coming over in a few days," Winston explained. "She's the same age as you two, and she's very

On the other hand, Megan was sent to the kitchen by Jane to help Winston out. She hesitated at the door. "I… Your mom asked me to help you," she said softly as she stood at the kitchen door. Winston turned to look at her. He smiled in response. "Okay." Since she was meeting Winston's mother today, Megan wore a simple outfit. She put on a pair of pearl earrings, applied light makeup, and wore a modest, long-sleeved, collared dress that reached her calves. She paired it with black heels, making her appear elegant, albeit slightly conservative.She looked shy and obedient when she stood at the door. Megan was a lovely young lady who was just a few years older than Winston's own son. She was a little conservative, yet she did the wildest thing by mingling with an old man like him. She wasn't even looking for status or favors. Winston suddenly felt a pang of heartache. "I'll wash the vegetables," Megan said as she walked in, not daring to meet Winston's eyes. "Okay." Wins

Winston's house was spacious. The kitchen was quite a distance away from the living room. Their housekeepers were disciplined enough to be available when needed but would never intrude on the family's privacy when they weren't required. Even so, when Megan was held by Winston and seated on the kitchen counter, she still held her breath. She bit her lip carefully, afraid to make a sound. She was conservative and reserved by nature. Doing something like this outside of the bedroom was too stimulating for her. "Don't…" Megan murmured softly, fearing that someone might hear them from the outside. "Don't you want me?" Leaning closer, Winston fixed his eyes on hers, leaving her nowhere to hide. "I do." Megan gave up. "Good girl," Winston whispered as he leaned in. Parting her legs, he silenced her with his lips before she could protest. Before this, they had kissed many times. But it was their first time having a passionate French kiss. Winston's tongue forcefully entered h

Celeste and Megan arrived early, yet it wasn't until 1:00 pm that they finally had lunch. During the meal, Jane's eyes never left Celeste. Winston, on the other hand, kept looking at Megan. He attended to her needs, serving soup and ensuring her glass was always filled. Winston even went so far as to retrieve a napkin for Megan, draping it carefully over her lap when she voiced concerns about potential stains on her clothes.Megan blushed and thanked him in a small voice. Consequently, she ate with a quiet obedience, resembling a child well cared for.Celeste found it hard to believe that Winston harbored no feelings for Megan whatsoever.Jane couldn't help but smile, pleased with the attentive and considerate manner in which her son, Winston, was treating Megan. "You two should consider visiting more frequently. Wish is in his final year of boarding school, while Winston is often away. Living in such a big house, as an old lady, I'd feel rather lonely," Jane remarked with a

Post-divorce, this situation had become a regular happening for Celeste. She had become accustomed to Damon's unpredictable visits, and any lingering traces of anger had gradually faded away.Despite the late winter chill, Damon stood in the corridor sporting an autumn coat. As Celeste approached, a shiver ran down her spine."How long have you been waiting here?" Celeste asked. Given Damon's typical inclination toward indoor activities, chauffeured car rides, and upscale venues, the absence of heating in the ordinary apartment corridors caught him off guard."Not long… Achoo!" Damon couldn't help but sneeze. Celeste sighed, unlocking the door. "Come inside." "You have my WhatsApp and phone number. Couldn't you have contacted me instead of waiting here?" she scolded, motioning for Damon to take a seat on the couch before heading to the kitchen.Returning with a pot of steaming ginger tea, she explained, "I don't have brown sugar for ginger tea; I usually use cola. It's surpri

This was a sad story. Jane, heavily pregnant, discovered the truth about Winston's father, Malfoy Belasco, when someone approached her with a child in tow. For someone as prideful as Jane, the revelation of Malfoy's simultaneous relationships with two women was intolerable. Despite his extramarital affair, Malfoy clung to Jane, enticed by her beauty and support in his business. He resisted divorce for six months."You are not my firstborn. You have an older sister named Willow, three years older than you. Malfoy sent her away to relatives to control me. Later, they claimed she fell into the river and drowned." Jane's voice carried sorrow. "Willow was already gone when I had you. That's why I never told you about this." Winston hesitated for a long while before finally asking, "Are you suggesting Willow might still be alive?" "Malfoy could have easily lied about Willow's death to keep me from seeing her. Besides, he was under Mia Jenner's spell then. He would do anything fo

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
