“I didn't expect your choice of dress to be so far off in a color that I think... doesn't suit you,” Sella said with a faint grin. Her eyes had not been distracted from watching Celine who had just arrived. Although Celine was expected, the twenty-minute delay really made her feel annoyed.Apart from listening to a lot of pleasantries full of innuendo from Cristine, her sister-in-law, she also couldn't stand it because Byran had ignored her from the beginning. If not for wanting to mend fences with her husband, at least not until their divorce was legalized.

The nonsense conversation that was created at the dinner table, Celine could not help but participate in. Some of them mostly discussed her work and mentioned Jacob. Celine already knew the direction of their conversation but stayed on the line that she would continue to follow; not knowing anything other than coming and sitting here.“Do you know the purpose of this banquet, Celine?” asked Grace once she felt she could talk in a much more relaxed atmosphere. Their dinner was over and there was a delicious dessert. She had deliberately asked the chef at the residence to make it.“I don't know, I'm just following my heart's desire to see you again. You know, Aunt Grace, I don't have much courage to go home. At least just to alleviate the longing for the sweet memories of the past.” Celine smiled slightly.

Jacob's words just now made Celine stare at the man with interest. It was as if she had never seen Jacob before. “You... would do that for me?”Without hesitation, Jacob nodded. “I would do anything for you, sweetheart. Let's just say, it's all to make up for my past mistakes. You know, I really regret saying a lot of bad words to you.” The man stood up and walked closer to Celine, but before he could reach her side, Jacob said, “Mr. Edgar, before I put this beautiful ring back on your grandson, let me tell you something.”Since then, Edgar had been silent. Choosing to listen carefully to what was happening at this banquet. As long as it was within his tolerable control, Edgar did not need to voice anything.

“Are all Celine's boxes in the car?” Karen asked for confirmation. The maid in this luxurious house had gone back and forth several times to bring Celine's gifts and arrange them into the car.“I think this is the last box, Miss,” said one of them. “There are no more boxes for Miss Celine.”“Good.” Karen let out a long sigh. “They really are people who love to spend money. None of their gifts are cheap.” She checked her cell phone again in case there was a message from Celine, but since her last message saying she should get ready, there were no more messages. “Should I wait here?”But no, Karen at least could not wait where her eyes did not see Celine directly.
