Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 428
"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

He was silent for a moment after Celeste said that. She thought that the signal was bad and was about to hang up. Damon suddenly spoke quietly. "Celeste York, promise me you'll run away if you're ever in danger." "Huh?" Celeste was confused. "Don't even think about protecting or sacrificing yourself for me. Celeste, promise me you'll run away as fast as possible if you're in danger. Promise me you'll prioritize yourself under any circumstances." Damon's tone was serious and firm—there was no doubt in his voice. That was the most romantic thing he had ever said since they met. It was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples on the surface. Damon was never good at sweet talk. He had a cold face, and even his words were icy. The fact that something like that came out of his mouth proved that he was being sincere.The last time someone's words touched her was when she heard the classic line "You jump, I jump" in the movie "Titanic". What did she do to

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
