From then on, Damon and Celeste's story came to an end.If it weren't for her mother's suicide, Celeste would never have thought of returning and marrying Damon. If it weren't for the accident, she thought that they would grow old together.Their relationship felt like a destiny with very little control in their own hands.She got married, divorced, had a miscarriage, then got pregnant again, sent her father to prison with her own hands, and then turned a factory into a listed company. She lost the man she loved the most. Despite all these events, Celeste was just a girl who was less than 23 years old.A lot of people didn't finish their studies by 23. Meanwhile, she had a life of ups and downs for as long as she has.Celeste quickly left the country within a week. She finished her studies in a few months and then moved straight from Genova to Francisco. She handed over Opulent Prowl to Winston and Megan to manage while she registered a jewellery brand in Francisco.All this Damo
When Celeste came over for her usual consultation after a busy day at work, a boy with curly hair and big eyes was sitting in the reception area while playing with his cell phone.The boy looked up and surveyed Celeste when he saw her enter. He blurted out, "Celeste?"Celeste was surprised. After all, being recognised in a foreign country was quite unexpected.She took a careful look at the boy in front of her. Still, she couldn't recognise who he was."May I ask who you are?""Oh, you don't know me, but I know you. Aren't you Spencer's rumoured girlfriend?" the boy said.Indeed, misinformation existed.Celeste thought the whole world knew she was Damon's ex-wife. Yet, in a foreign country, people recognised her because of Spencer."It's all a misunderstanding. The media made it up," Celeste said lightly. She didn't need to explain her private affairs to the outside world. However, the boy in front of her seemed pretty straightforward and cute. He didn't seem malicious. Hence,
Celeste became pregnant around the beginning of spring, and the child was born on a winter night. It was clear after the snow that day, and the stars in the sky shone especially brightly.Therefore, she named the child Leo York.Due to his parents' strong genes, Leo was also good-looking. He had a face similar to that of a cute little boy in a milk advertisement, but his temperament was not soft and cuddly. He showed a different side from a very young age.Leo started speaking very early. Celeste recalled that he didn't even go through the teething stage, but he spoke with clear pronunciation.However, he spoke very little and was a bit of a loner. He didn't like playing with children his age but preferred to write and draw alone.At the age of two, Leo was lying on the bed while scribbling on paper, and Celeste was surprised when she went over to see his masterpiece."Leo, what is this?" she asked in amazement.Leo didn't draw people with hair, eyes, or clothes. Instead, he dre
Celeste was okay. Although she had gone through a year or two of torment, she had ultimately healed herself and moved on from her emotional wounds.She had always been a rational person and adept at managing her emotions. Even though she ended up in such a miserable state, she harboured no deep resentment toward Damon.After all, if there were such a thing as an emotional balance in the world. Damon's kindness toward her outweighed the negatives by many times.Although he was cold and heartless toward her before they parted ways, it was an undeniable fact that he fell ill at that time.She'd never asked about Damon in the past few years, and the Belasco family and Megan had chosen to keep their mouths shut. She wondered if Damon had married Fiona now. How was his health?Celeste's heart still ached when she thought of him after a few years. She could blame no one but fate. She sighed.Children aged 2 to 5 with leukaemia could be treated with cord blood. Celeste kept some of it wh
Damon fully regained consciousness about six months after losing Celeste. Meanwhile, Fiona hadn't given birth back then, yet she bugged him every day in the name of the baby.Fiona had always been this way. She'd do anything to get what she wanted, and Damon had learned this a long time ago.His initial declaration of intending to marry Fiona and take responsibility for her was merely a strategic move to drive Celeste away and not waste her time. He would never marry her.Damon's reason for doing so was simple. The child was innocent and carried the blood of the Bishop family. While he could take responsibility for Fiona, she didn't deserve any sympathy, no matter what she went through. After all, she was the one who set him up in the first place.The situation went back and forth, with twists and turns. Even after Fiona gave birth to the child, she never married into the Bishop family.Later, Fiona changed her tune and made demands to Damon, saying that as long as he could convin
After listening to the doctor's advice, Celeste decided to return to her home country.According to the doctor's assessment of Leo's condition, while his condition was troublesome, the cure rate for his disease was high if a suitable bone marrow donor could be found.The situation had already happened, and Celeste had no choice but to trust the doctor and move forward.Seeking help from Damon was the last resort when they couldn't find a suitable donor, but it was also one of the backup plans.Based on Leo's condition, he would need three to six rounds of chemotherapy to stabilize his condition before he could proceed with a bone marrow transplant. That would take one to two years. Celeste thought that, in the meantime, they could do a bone marrow match. They have enough time to find a donor from the bone marrow registry.With this in mind, Celeste settled everything and returned to her home country with Leo.Her jewelry company's development was smooth enough that she didn't nee
Sebastian recognized Damon. He immediately understood the current situation and put down his fork to greet Damon with a smile. "Hello, Mr."The use of "Mr" as an address carried a great irony to Damon. He clenched his fist and didn't respond.Leo looked at Damon indifferently without saying a word. He had long been used to not speaking in unfamiliar situations.What a good-looking kid. He was as aloof and distant as his mother, with the same captivating yet icy-cold eyes.Damon had noticed Leo from the beginning. He also noticed Sebastian creeping a little closer to Celeste. He was asserting his dominance. A wave of bitterness welled up in Damon's heart."Did you come back for a visit?" He forced himself to speak.Celeste nodded. Then she shook her head again as if remembering something. "Not really. We've come back to settle down."Her "we" referred to her and her son. But to Damon's ears, that statement also included Sebastian.The atmosphere became tense once again."Leo, s
Sebastian's sexual orientation wasn't known to the public, yet he appeared "straighter" than most straight men. Damon's friends knew about Celeste's remarriage, but they all chose to keep silent about it around him.As for Leo, Celeste didn't hide his existence. Privacy laws regarding children were strict abroad, and taking photos of minors without parental consent was illegal. Moreover, she wasn't a public figure. Hence, keeping Leo's existence under wraps was easy.Even though she settled back in her home country, Celeste didn't intend to hide Leo's existence. She had nothing to feel guilty about regarding Damon. Hence, why should she avoid anything? They should just live their separate lives.Damon got heavily drunk that night. Meanwhile, Celeste and the others treated the incident as a minor episode. After Damon left, they talked about other things as if nothing had happened.She admitted that seeing Damon looking so haggard made her feel incredibly sorry for him. But so what?
