Chapter 104 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)
- “You seem to like hanging out with her lately” Nicolas blinked. “Really?” Liam said flatly, “You didn’t use to like it when I took her to gatherings” Although Nicolas hid his dislike well, Liam’s observation skills were quite sharp. Of course, Nicolas would never tell Liam that Celeste was actually Celestial Haze. He couldn’t wait to see Liam’s reaction when he found out the truth. So he said, “That’s because I used to misunderstand her as a social climber who only cared about money, man. But now that she wants to divorce you, I suddenly feel like maybe I was wrong back then. Plus, she even helped me make some money and sent me a box of oysters. Now I’ve completely changed my mind, and I plan to get along with her.” Just then, there was a knock on the door of Liam’s study. “Come in.” Celeste pushed the door open, holding a glass of milk, and said, “Mr. Reed, this is some freshly heated milk, do you want some?” Mr. Reed? Nicolas raised an eyebrow. Was this a nickname between husband and wife? Liam looked up at her and accepted the offer. Celeste walked up and handed the milk to Liam. Liam picked it up and was about to drink when he noticed Celeste staring at him intently. He hesitated and asked, “Is it poisoned?” Celeste’s mouth twitched a little. “Of course not! I just thought you might be bored, so I came over to chat with you.” She paused for a moment, and to avoid making her words sound too abrupt, she added, “The doctor mentioned that being in a good mood can help the wound heal Liam stared at her for a few seconds and said fatly, “You want me to never get better, don’t you?” Celeste Campbell…….
- Nicolas Francis was holding back his laughter on the other side of the screen. Liam Reed’s words were so damn sarcastic. Thankfully, Celeste didn’t care. She felt a bit upset for a second, but remembering her purpose, she quickly got over it. “I didn’t know better, and you got hurt because of me. I have to take care of you. I just heard a few funny jokes. Wanna hear one?” Celeste said. Liam was surprised by this woman’s change of attitude. As far as he knew, Celeste couldn’t be so understanding. Usually, if he had just made fun of her like that, she would’ve already fired back. What the hell was she thinking? Liam was silent for a few seconds, then said, “Let’s hear it.” As he said it, he took a sip of his milk. Celeste thought for a moment and said, “One day, Mama Fly took Baby Fly to lunch on a pile of poop. Baby Fly asked, ‘Mom, mom, mom, why do we eat poop? Mama Fly got angry and said, “Don’t talk about such disgusting things during mealtime!” Liam felt his mouthful of milk stuck in his throat. Nicolas on the other side of the screen didn’t have that much self-control, and he pounded on the desk, laughing Only then did Celeste realize that Liam was on video chat and felt a bit embarrassed. Liam struggled to swallow the milk, frowning and commenting, “Lame!” think it’s hilarious,” said Nicolas, tears streaming down his face.
- “Celeste, you have a talent for telling jokes.” Nicolas wasn’t flattering her. When Celeste told stories, probably due to her professional habits, she would adopt different voices for different. characters, making them really come to life. Yet Celeste thought he was making fun of her and forced a laugh. If she had known that Liam was on video chat, she wouldn’t have started this conversation. As she was about to leave, Liam glanced at her, “Are there any other jokes?” You just said it was lame, didn’t you? Celeste snapped back in her mind. “Yeah, let me try a better one” “Once upon a time, there was a big fish and a small fish One day, the little fish asked the big fish, Big-fish-big-fish-what-do-you-usually-like-to-eat?” The big fish replied, “T-like-to-eat-little-fish-that-talk-slowly! Then the little fish said, ‘Oh, I see Got it!” After she finished, it was dead quiet. Celeste also thought the joke was somewhat lame, and she coughed awkwardly, “Not that funny, huh?” Nicolas played along, it’s funny, very funny” Liam, on the other hand, sarcastically said, “Ridiculous, it shoud be.” Celeste almost wanted to splash the milk on Liam’s face. Nicolas, reading the room, quickly changed the subject “Celeste, are you going to the jewelry show the day after tomorrow? Masons aunt has a luminous pearl said to have been unearthed from a tomb dating back many years.
