Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 712
From Damon's tone, he was trying to distance himself.He implied that he wasn't dumb enough to come and pester her again; Leo wanted to see her. It was belittling for an ex-husband to visit someone while they were pregnant.However, Celeste understood what Damon said differently—she assumed Damon disliked her.Celeste's face subtly paled, but she quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you. If you have something to do, you can leave. Let Leo stay here for now, and I'll have the driver send him back to the Bishop residence tomorrow."Kindness was a two-way street. She couldn't blame Damon. She couldn't reject Damon while expecting him to treat her well.The atmosphere in the ward turned icy, and Damon's eyes instantly became colder. He stared at Celeste without blinking, and she felt intimidated.Celeste wondered if she said something wrong."Do you dislike seeing me?" Damon suddenly spoke in a low voice, even lower than usual since Leo was still asleep.Celeste was

Celeste was stunned as she watched the spoon approaching her mouth. In the past, when they were together, she could eat if she wanted to and refuse if she didn't. But now, in this situation, she could only open her mouth to accept the food; refusing would be impolite. So, Celeste opened her mouth and drank the soup from the spoon. It was a bit hot. She furrowed her brows slightly but didn't say anything.Damon blew on the next spoonful before feeding it to her again. They had been intimate countless times together and exchanged countless kisses, but Celeste felt none of them were as suggestive as this. Damon blew on the soup in the spoon and fed it to her. His stern eyes appeared focused and gentle.Celeste's breathing suddenly quickened. She did her prenatal checkup on an empty stomach and only had a few spoonfuls of soup Megan fed her in the afternoon. She was famished. She drank half a bowl of soup with Damon's help. She wanted to tell him she could do it on her own, but the words

After being discharged from the hospital, Celeste stayed home for over a week without going out. She reminisced how she returned to the country at the beginning of the year when it was still spring. Now, it was already winter.Being pregnant made her feel less cold and desolate from the weather, but she was constantly fatigued.She wished she could spend 24 hours of her time sleeping. She found herself appearing less alert.Winston and Megan sent her a lot of supplements, but she consumed them very slowly. Due to her fatigue, she couldn't even manage to eat three meals a day, let alone take any supplements."You might have been traumatized by the hospital encounter or exhausted yourself during your pregnancy with Leo and have yet to recover from it. You need to compensate for it now," Megan occasionally came to check on her and concluded.Celeste thought about it and said, "It's probably the latter. I had severe depression when I was pregnant with Leo, often leaving me sleepless a

Before long, a series of photos were uploaded to Instagram from an overseas account.It was titled "Low-profile and discreet governmental official, Director X was with his wife on a trip."There were nine pictures, with Leila and the high-ranking official coming out of a place after each other. They were not intimate and maintained arm-length distance in the photos. Yet, they carried a sense of familiarity with each other, deliberately maintaining distance between themselves. Their eyes met in one of the photos, indicating they had things to discuss."This is not Director X's wife, but the wife of a Carlino real estate businessman," someone replied, posting Leila's Wikipedia page.Then, the Instagram account deleted the photos and was deactivated within half an hour. This was enough to catch the attention of the "higher-ups." Leila and the high-ranking official frequently appeared together at events, being mistaken for a couple by foreign netizens. Clearly, something was up.It wa

Celeste couldn't possibly call Georgina by her first name as requested. Given both their statuses and the age difference, addressing her as "Mrs. Radcliffe" was more appropriate.Georgina's pale face seemed even paler. She took a sip of tea to calm herself. However, the unease in her eyes only grew more intense."I've heard some rumors recently, Ms. York. It seems you've been following Diego." She skipped the debate over titles and got straight to the point.Celeste was slightly taken aback. This wasn't like Georgina, who was usually composed. With the pressing issue of her affair with a high-ranking official, why was she concerned about Diego?"Mr. Diego and Henry have business dealings. I'm sure you're aware of the friction between the York family and myself, Mrs. Radcliffe. Following Mr. Diego was a necessary move." Celeste admitted.Georgina was momentarily stunned by Celeste's straightforward confession.After a half-minute pause, she finally offered her prepared words."Ms

The beautiful woman named Georgina, who was usually so dignified and aloof, was now shedding tears in front of Celeste.With the first tear came the second, and soon, they were streaming down her face like broken beads.It was late at night. Celeste had already sent the night staff to bed, leaving only the two of them in the vast living room.Celeste stood up to fetch some tissues and handed them to Georgina. She silently watched her until she eventually stopped crying and wiped the droplets from her eyelashes. Only then did they resume their conversation."This coat I'm wearing, he made it for me himself back then," Georgina said.Celeste remembered the story Lawrence told about Diego skinning a live mink. She felt a shiver run down her spine. Looking at Georgina again, all she could sense was the stench of blood.Georgina, Diego, and the now-deceased Jonah, none of them deserved sympathy.They disregarded life, ignored moral principles, and were cold-blooded and selfish.Her

Celeste knew that Georgina had reached the end of her rope, but she hadn't expected it to come so quickly.Georgina wrote a suicide note the next evening and posted it online before drowning herself.The media blurred the images of Georgina's body, but the incident couldn't be suppressed.Celeste also saw the electronic suicide note.In it, Georgina neither confirmed nor denied her years-long affair with a political man.She wrote, "Given the circumstances, my death is the only way to provide an explanation and put this matter to rest so that the Radcliffe family and my child won't have to live in constant fear."She even hinted at two power factions, implying that the incident was a tactic by one group to topple another.With such a clear statement, Diego was actually safer.If Diego died as a result of this scandal, neither side would come out clean.Georgina protected Diego even in her final moment. It proved that her love was not an exaggeration.However, Kenny's target w

Celeste sat opposite Diego. She poured him a cup of tea and slowly handed it to him."Interestingly, Mrs. Radcliffe also had Earl Grey tea when she visited," she said and noted the brief sparkle in Diego's eyes.Celeste doubted Diego was entirely in the dark about what Georgina had said when she came to her.He probably just wanted to hear what Georgina had said from someone else. This might be a kind of comfort to him, perhaps."Did she beg you not to expose the two of us?" Diego had none of the manners or etiquette of a noble gentleman. His questions were blunt and direct as if he were interrogating a criminal.Still, Celeste saw no need to argue and simply nodded. "Yes, that's correct.""What exactly did she say?"Diego didn't care much about whether Celeste agreed or not.Celeste poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly."Mrs. Radcliffe said you still have to live on, and this matter would be a fatal blow to your reputation. She hoped I would show mercy."Fol
