Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 388
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

Unexpectedly, Damon stirred awake, catching Celeste off guard and leaving her feeling a tad awkward. Hastily, she turned her head away, and his kiss found its place on her cheek instead."Why did you suddenly wake up?" Her gaze happened to fall on his right ear. Was that a piercing? Celeste recalled that Damon didn't have any piercings. Why did he suddenly get one? Intrigued, Celeste leaned closer to Damon's ear to examine it. "What's going on? Since when did you get the piercing?" "About a month after we came back from the grasslands." That was when he got his ear pierced. Celeste suddenly remembered the ethnic-styled earrings she had designed. "Is it because of that earring?" "Wasn't that designed for me?" Damon retorted as if the answer was self-evident. However, the reality wasn't that. Celeste couldn't help muttering, "What a narcissist." Damon pretended not to hear her and pulled her into his embrace. He lifted her chin and met her gaze. "I'm planning to pursue you

Upon hearing Celeste's words, Jane lapsed into silence. A palpable sadness draped over her, and she seemed immersed in contemplation for nearly five minutes. Eventually, she refrained from probing further about Celeste's mother, Sylvia. Celeste reasoned that it was only natural for Jane to empathize with a woman whose appearance resembled her own. Midway through the meal, Jane's phone rang. She received a video call on WhatsApp. She carefully set her cutlery aside, wiped her hands clean with a napkin, and retrieved her phone from her bag.Jane's countenance had been veiled in gloom for some time, but a radiant smile finally adorned her face as she warmly greeted the person on the other end of the call. "Lily.""Grandma, did you enjoy your meal today?" A gentle and warm female voice resonated from the phone. Celeste speculated that the person on the other end must be Lilian, Jane's god-granddaughter."I did. How was your day, Lily?" Jane inquired, revealing the affectionate dem

Jane and Lilian continued their conversation for an extended period, mainly expressing concern for each other's well-being. Despite not being blood-related, their strong bond and affection were evident.After concluding the call, Jane turned to Celeste with an apologetic smile. "Lily's health isn't the best. I said those things because I was worried about Lily's feelings. I hope you don't mind?" Celeste shook her head. "It's okay." Understanding the recentness of their acquaintance, she acknowledged the profound connection between Jane and Lilian, realizing she couldn't compete for Jane's love."Lilian has had a difficult life. Her family was in a car accident, and she was the only survivor. I took her in and raised her," Jane shared, her voice catching and her eyes reddening. There was a poignant tug at Celeste's heart. In the midst of life's difficulties, Lilian's journey had been marked by greater struggles than Celeste's, earning her a place of deep sympathy.That Saturday

Megan, an honest and conservative individual, grappled with the ethical dilemma of approaching Winston for a DNA sample. Opting for a more subtle approach, she decided to wait until he was asleep after their intimate moments. She used a pair of nose hair scissors to collect a sample of hair. Winston was a light sleeper. Megan held her breath as she leaned in and carefully grasped a few strands of his hair before snipping them with scissors.The crisp sound of the cut caught Megan off guard.Relieved to find Winston undisturbed, Megan sighed softly as she carefully held the strands of hair. With a steady hand, she reached for the sealed bag on the bedside table, intending to store the collected hair securely.Unexpectedly, Winston rolled over, pressing her beneath his body, his eyes wide open, as he fixed his gaze on her. Megan's face instantly flushed red upon realizing she was caught in the act. "I…" Nervously, Megan searched for an excuse, unsure of how to react."Do you like

Celeste feared that she might come off as arrogant if she declined Lilian's personal invitation. That evening, she went to Winston's place, bearing gifts and health supplements. At the sight of Lilian, Celeste found herself surprised, even though she had mentally readied herself for the moment. Lilian appeared incredibly delicate and fragile, characterized by an extremely slender frame and a pallid appearance. The sole burst of vivid color on her face radiated from her pair of amber eyes, their unusual largeness accentuated by her slender features.Moreover, there was something about Lilian's gaze that seemed to convey a thousand words.Despite Lilian's undeniable beauty, it was her fragile and pitiful appearance that left a lasting impression. Anyone observing her would naturally feel compelled to show kindness and sympathy.Lilian, too, was taken aback at the sight of Celeste. She had never encountered such real-life beauty before. Celeste possessed an oval face and fox-like

"Grandma, I won't have any regrets if I can reunite with my family after I die. But I'm worried about what will happen to you..." Lilian's tone softened as she noticed Jane's eyes welling up, and she choked up a little.Jane already looked pitiful enough. But with her eyes and nose turning red, the sight of her was heart-wrenching. Even Celeste couldn't help but feel bad for her. "I know that others can take care of you, but I just can't stop worrying about you," Lilian uttered, feigning an effort to hold back her tears. Dabbing her eyes with a tissue, she put on a smile. "You now have Cece. I feel more at ease knowing that Cece is so reliable." Damon had previously criticized Celeste for her rigidity and headstrong nature. Now, she had a deeper understanding of the appeal of the opposite—the delicate and gentle qualities that some men preferred. In contrast to Lilian, Shannon and Leah's attempts at being gentle and soft seemed trivial.Though Lilian's theatrics were apparent, Ce

Jane arrived within ten minutes. Her eyes were swollen from all the crying. She hugged Celeste tightly as soon as she entered the office. Celeste hadn't even asked why she was there. But she thought that it was not necessary anymore. "My dear Cece." Jane had been trying hard to suppress her emotions. But she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. "I'm your biological grandmother, Cece. Your mother is actually my daughter, Willow Belasco." She cried so much on Celeste's shoulder that it was all wet. She pulled out a paternity test report from her pocket with a trembling hand. The DNA test report was hers and Caleb's. It stated that the report was released two hours ago. Celeste finally felt relieved. It wasn't a matter of the Belasco family refusing to accept her or Jane not wanting her. Rather, both Celeste and Jane had been kept in the dark until the report for the DNA test came out. "Willow was taken away from me when she was just three years old. I thought she was dead. I

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
