    Chapter 98


    Sure enough, Liam smiled faintly, “I can see you two haven’t been in touch for a while.”


    The ssmate was taken aback, only to see Liam put his arm around Celeste’s waist, slowly raising his


    eyes, and said gently. “He doesn’t even know you’re already married.”


    Liam’s expression changed too quickly!


    Celeste thought she was good at hiding her feelings, butpared to Liam, she was still far behind


    The ssmate was clearly caught off guard by the sudden revtion and stammered for a moment


    before saying. “Married?”


    Celeste cooperated by holding Liam’s arm and smiling. “This is my husband.”


    The man’s eyes showed obvious regret, and he said awkwardly. “You got married so early?”


    Realizing it wasn’t appropriate, he quickly added, “I mean, I didn’t expect Mr. Reed to be your husband.


    When I was studying abroad, I heard from ssmates that you had an ident. It’s good to have


    someone take care of you earlier.”


    The car ident involving Celeste and her mother had been a big deal at the time, making headlines.


    A private car collided with a taxi, causing two deaths and three injuries.


    The taxi driver and a passenger were killed on the spot, while another passenger was seriously injured.


    Celeste’s mother survived but became a vegetable, unable to wake up. Among all the victims,


    Celeste’s injuries were the lightest.


    However, even now, the thought of that gruesome ident still made her stomach involuntarily cramp.


    Liam untangled her fingers and intertwined them tightly with his own,


    Celeste looked up at him, puzzled.


    But Liam didn’t look at her, and instead said lightly, “Mr. Pitts, I heard your parents are in the catering


    business?”


    The man, seeing Liam initiating a conversation with him, was very happy and enthusiastically chatted


    with Liam.


    Liam seldom initiated conversations with strangers. When people around noticed this, they soon came


    over to join them.


    Talking business at this kinda event ain’t realistic, mainly all about building connections with people.


    And the chatter from those housewives was just in boring. They yapped about some new Japanese


    restaurant that just opened, bragged about the best spot for afternoon tea, or directly or indirectly


    showed off their hubby’s wealth. Seemed like their whole lives revolve around their husband’s social


    circle.


    Come to think of it, wasn’t Celeste kinda like that too?


    Lost in her thoughts, suddenly, a female voice called out near her ear: “Liam.”


    Celeste’s smile suddenly paused, and she looked up


    She saw Sydney wearing a blue rhinestone dress, slowly walking towards them.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Her makeup was exquisite, and she looked stunning. She had great control over both her expressions


    and her actions.


    As one of the most popr young actresses at the moment, she indeed had the aura of a female star.


    Usually, the high-societydies would just nod to these young actresses and wouldn’t pay much


    attention to them. Seeing stars at various events had be no big deal to them, but the intimate


    shout of “Liam’ was just too curious.


    Rumors about Liam and the popr actress Sydney had been buzzing before, but there was no follow-


    up news, so everyone thought it was just a publicity stunt


    However, now, in front of his wife, such a warm shout seemed to be more than just a publicity stunt.
