Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 427
It was an important day for the Belasco family when Lilian was discharged from the hospital. Jane instructed the maids to hang a banner in the garden and prepare thousands of balloons. Flowers were usually expensive in the winter, yet they bought ten thousand fresh flowers and placed them in the middle of the garden. When Celeste reached home in the evening, she was taken aback. Although they invited no guests, the decorations might be even grander than Celeste and Caleb's banquet. What were they trying to do? Welcome a queen back to her castle? Even their own granddaughter didn't receive such treatment. She avoided all the petals on the ground and walked inside. She then happened upon the scene of the family having a great time together. "Cece is back. You should come over and eat." Lilian was the first to welcome her warmly. Lilian was someone who tore her best friend and Winston apart, so it was hard for Celeste to look at her positively. She merely forced a smile.

"Where's Lily?" Jane asked when she didn't see Lilian at the dining table. Celeste and Winston were never talkative, so Jane didn't know what happened between Celeste and Lilian the previous night. "Ms. Lily said that her stomach is upset, so she won't be having dinner," the maid answered. Jane frowned. "She isn't the healthiest now, so it won't be good for her to skip meals. Go and ask her to come down. Instruct the chef to make something light for her." The maid nodded and left. Celeste and Winston had their dinner in silence. Neither of them looked up. After what happened the night before, Celeste now saw Lilian differently. Initially, she was under the impression that Lilian was pretending to be kind by trying to appear gentle and understanding. Celeste thought that this might be related to the environment she grew up in. She had to live with another family from a young age and constantly walked on eggshells. It would be understandable for her to have high emotion

Anyone would feel uncomfortable from being slandered for no reason. Besides, Lilian had been using her illness to gain sympathy. Jane and Winston's stance was that Celeste shouldn't be upset over someone who was on the verge of death. It was as if it was okay for Lilian to make a mistake, but it was wrong of Celeste to not forgive Lilian.The next day, Celeste didn't have dinner at the Belasco residence. Her excuse was that she had to work overtime. Damon was sensitive enough to know what was going on. When she appeared at his place during dinnertime, he could guess she had a conflict with the Belasco family. But since she said nothing, he didn't ask anything either. He just told Edna to serve more of Celeste's favorite dishes. When it was difficult for her to fall asleep, he'd hug her until she drifted off. Damon's meticulous care made Jane seem neglectful toward Celeste. Celeste finally nestled in Damon's arms and sighed. "You're the best to me, after all. You really d

As agreed, Megan took Winston out for the first meal. She dragged Celeste along to be the third wheel. She brought Celeste to show Winston that she was merely treating him to a meal to apologize. And that she had no intention of growing closer to him through this opportunity. The three met up at a high-end restaurant. Megan and Celeste went inside first. They sat at a table in the restaurant's open space as they waited for Winston. Megan had put thought into choosing the table. Having the meal in a private room would be too intimate. In this kind of open space, there would be many people around. They would just enjoy their meal and avoid any sort of suspicion. Ever since her drunken episode with Winston, it was important for Megan to avoid any suspicion from others. Celeste would do anything for Megan. Since she needed company, Celeste was willing to help her. However, Celeste didn't expect the warm smile on Winston's face to instantly freeze the moment he saw her. "Why

"That guy tried to hurt himself just now, and it frightened Lily." After Winston said that, he realized he sounded like he was trying to explain things to Megan. "Okay. You should accompany Ms. Gibson then. We'll leave now." Unbothered, Megan nodded. She still had a smile on her face. What was that reaction? Was she jealous, or did she simply not believe what he said? Winston was frustrated. But before he could say anything, Megan had already dragged Celeste away and walked off. "Mr. Belasco, is Ms. Schultz upset?" Lilian asked Winston with a pitiful look. Her tears had dampened Winston's shirt. When she saw Megan leaving, she acted as if she realized something was wrong and quickly let go of Winston's arms. She looked a little anxious as she lowered her head. Winston was speechless. "Why would she be upset? She seems happy." Why did he never realize that Megan was so sensitive and doubtful back then? "What I mean is… did I bother you and Ms. Schultz when I hugged you j

In the past, Shannon always went for a pure and innocent image. Even after she ruined her reputation by sleeping with playboys and older men, she'd still put her long hair down and wear a white dress like a graceful pianist. It had been half a year since they last saw her. Her style had transformed from a naive heiress' into that of a wealthy man's wife. She seemed to have undergone plastic surgery on her face as well.Her eyes appeared larger with deeper double eyelids, her lips were a little thicker, and her facial structure was sharper now. Despite all of that, Celeste still recognized her at first glance. Megan sized the woman up. "Perhaps it's just her doppelganger." "Trust me. That's her," Celeste said firmly. After Shannon walked far away from them, the two went into the store. The shop assistant recognized Megan as she welcomed them with a smile. She led them into a VIP lounge. "Which bag did that short-haired lady buy? She seems to have good taste," Megan preten

"Don't be afraid, it's me," the man said in a low voice. The familiar voice instantly calmed Megan down. "Mr. Belasco, why are you here?" Didn't he know that his being here in the dark would scare anyone to death? Megan was frustrated but held onto the doorframe and regained her composure. "I didn't have enough to eat just now." Megan looked at him incredulously. "What's that got to do with me?" "Since you were treating me to dinner today, wouldn't it be your fault if I didn't have enough food?" In the dark, Winston's voice was hoarse and seductive. What an oblivious woman. When a man claimed that he was hungry in the middle of the night, the meaning behind it was clear. Yet, she couldn't catch the message at all. Winston sighed to himself. He then grabbed Megan's hand when she began to speak."You're the one who left halfway through dinner and saved another woman. It has nothing to do with me." Megan was dissatisfied. Why had she never realized how unreasonable this man

His eyes were filled with such aggression and possessiveness that it startled Megan. Winston had always been gentle and reserved. She had never seen him revealing his bare feelings like this before. Anxious, Megan pursed her lips without a word. "You treated me to dinner, but I wasn't even full from the food. You're so evil, Meg." In an instant, Winston had masked his expression with his usual gentle look. He dropped the hand that held the cigarette and then leaned close to Megan. "You're the one who left your food to save another woman." Winston was too close for comfort. The two could feel each other's breaths. Megan found it hard to maintain her composure."Save another woman? Of course I couldn't sit by and do nothing when Lilian was in danger. In my eyes, she's just a child," Winston explained patiently. "Child? I'm younger than Lilian; why don't you see me as a child then?" Megan mocked. Megan didn't want to tell Winston that Lilian was putting on a show just t
