Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 98 Late Nights Away from Home
"Given Damon's status, how could there be just one car?"A 90 million dollar Christie's Pink Diamond was offered as a gift, yet Celeste had to walk down the mountain?"There are plenty of cars, but I don't want to use his things without permission," Celeste replied truthfully.Despite having only met Winston a few times, she felt an oddly familiar connection. This allowed her to relax her guard and speak freely.Winston had his eyes on the road ahead."You two are married; you can use everything he owns. Money, power, connections … they're yours to use as you please.""If you've investigated me, you should know I didn't marry Damon through honorable means.""So what?" Winston glanced at her.Through their interactions, he believed Celeste's marriage to Damon wasn't solely for the reasons he had just mentioned."Since I forced him to marry me, I shouldn't take advantage of his money.""Would you believe it if I told you that money is the least important thing to him?"Winston

Leah suffered from alcohol poisoning and caused a scene at the hospital.Damon stayed up all night, accompanying her during the IV treatment until she fully regained consciousness the next afternoon."Danny," Leah called out from the hospital bed."I've arranged a day off for you. The driver will take you home today to rest, and you can return to work tomorrow," Damon said as he stood up from the chair beside her hospital bed. His coat was rumpled from holding her. It gave him a messy appearance."Sorry, Danny. I saw you being affectionate with Celeste. I just ... I can't accept it," Leah sobbed. In the past, Damon would have sympathized with her tears. Now, he felt Leah cried too much. Celeste handled tears gracefully, unlike Leah. Leah knew how to trigger a man's protective instinct while Celeste never wanted to appear weak in front of him.Suddenly, Damon remembered the night when Celeste had cried on the roadside due to Caleb's heart problem, and it tugged at his heart.

Damon had a hunch that things were not as simple as they seemed. After hanging up the phone, he absentmindedly opened Twitter.Three out of the top ten Twitter trends were about him and Leah! Despite being Taverdale's wealthiest, Damon's popularity was comparable to those of celebrities. He usually kept an eye out for paparazzi but failed to detect them during yesterday's emergency. The trending headlines were sensational, and the images were misleading. Some clearly showed Leah holding onto him, while others portrayed them intimately kissing. Damon and Leah's story was well-known, and when Leah married into wealth, millions of netizens sympathized with Damon. Now, it was a carnival on the internet.One of the top comments with the most likes read, "If it's meant to be, it will be. Love feels real again!"Another was, "As long as it's you in the end, waiting a bit longer is alright."It was all nonsense! Damon's face darkened as he scrolled through the comments.He dialed ba

Cheryl hauled Celeste out of her seat. "Who do you think you are? How dare you try to steal Ms. Sullivan's man? You only got into Prestige because you slept with Mr. Bishop!" As Cheryl spoke, she gave Celeste a hard shove. Because of how weak and lean she was, Celeste staggered and fell backward. "Stop it, Cheryl!" A girl who had been spectating from the side stood up. Anxious, she attempted to break Celeste's fall. Out of nowhere, someone beat her to it. Celeste was caught by a pair of strong arms. "Mr., Mr. Bishop." The girl quickly greeted him. Everyone at the scene stood up hurriedly with awkward looks on their faces. "What's going on?" With his hand around Celeste's waist, he asked the girl. "Cheryl was bullying Celeste." "I wasn't! Hear me out, Mr. Bishop. It was Celeste who—" Cheryl wanted to defend herself. But she could barely speak when she saw the petrifying look on Damon's face. She could no longer retain her arrogant attitude."Of course you were! Everyone s

After zoning out for half an afternoon at work, Celeste still couldn't make up her mind. She really didn't want to head home. So she called a cab and went to the hospital. Caleb was on his iPad. When he saw her arrive, he quickly turned it off and placed it beside him. His eyes were bloodshot as if he just cried. People who just underwent a heart transplant couldn't afford to have mood swings. "Why did you cry?" She asked. "It's nothing." Caleb didn't want to tell her. Celeste took the iPad. She knew Caleb's password. When she turned it on, it displayed one of the trending searches on Damon and Leah. "Why are you reading this?" She didn't know Caleb was on Twitter too. "Shannon sent it to me." "Do you have Shannon's WhatsApp contact?" "No. I don't know where she got my number from, but she sent the link to me via text." Caleb was in low spirits. Hanging his head low, he teared up. "Celeste, how could you tolerate this kind of thing? If it's Damon who paid for my s

The two found a casual dining restaurant to have a meal there. The shop was so small that there wasn't even a designated parking space for customers. Winston could only park his Bentley on the roadside. It looked really incongruous there. "You've never eaten at a diner before, have you?" Celeste poured some fries onto Winston's plate. Winston found her action funny and adorable. He had certainly experienced this before. It was exactly the way he lived before his 20s. "I get this strange feeling whenever I meet you," he said carefully. "What is it?" "You give me the impression that I secretly have a daughter somewhere out there, with whom I was just recently acquainted." "Pfft—" Celeste almost choked on her own saliva. "I'm almost 22 years old this year. Don't even think about taking advantage of me," she said. She couldn't help but laugh. The two took more than three hours to finish their meal. Damon called her in the middle of their meal, but Celeste rejected his call.

Winston did say that he would treat her way better than anyone else would and that Damon needn't worry that other men couldn't steal her heart away. Damon clearly had a lot more room for improvement. Seeing how intimate the two were acting, he drove back home without a word. By the time Celeste returned home, he had finished two packs of cigarettes. His throat was so dry that he could barely speak. "You reek of cigarettes. You should go shower now." Celeste froze. But she pretended as if nothing happened and pushed Damon toward the bathroom. "I won't. Hear me out, Celeste." Damon was experiencing a mixture of emotions. He wouldn't let go of her. "You don't have to. You can do whatever you want." That was the decision Celeste made after a whole night of thinking. "But don't ever kiss me with those lips of yours after you kiss somebody else. It's disgusting." She tried her best to speak to him calmly. "Damon, I'm the one benefitting out of this marriage, and I know it. But

Damon was too strong. Celeste's attempt to break free from him was too feeble in Damon's eyes. He held her tight in his arms as he savored her tongue and sucked her lips. He was just too anxious and frustrated. He could only claim Celeste as his woman by doing this. But it wasn't easy to control Celeste. Since she wasn't as strong as him, she bit his tongue hard. The scent of blood spread in their mouths. But Damon merely grunted. He still wouldn't let go of her. The two gasped for air as they kissed for a long while. It lasted so long that Celeste thought she could no longer breathe.When Damon finally released her, she used all her might to slap him. "How dare you bully me!" She said as tears fell down her cheeks. She dashed upstairs without turning back once. Of course, Damon was not allowed to enter the master bedroom that night. He lay down on the bed in the second bedroom. He tossed and turned. He thought about her teary eyes and what she said. Although his feeli

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
