    Chapter 178


    Since trying to persuade her was useless, Liam stopped talking.


    When Celeste walked over, Liam smelled alcohol and was a bit surprised, “Did you drink?”


    “Nope, Celeste replied, her face blushing Realizing that her denial wasn’t very convincing, she added,


    “Well, not much. Just a little bit.”


    It was indeed just a little bit half a bottle of red wine, that was it. She could hold her liquor well, so half a


    bottle of red wine didn’t get her drunk, just a bit braver


    Liam stared at her for a few seconds before handing her a towel and saying nonchntly, “Give me a


    wipe-down first”


    For the first time in her life, Celeste bathed someone else


    Sure, they’d yed around in the bathroom before, but that was when she was goofing around with


    Liam while he was taking a bath under the guise of giving him a back scrub.


    But in the end, she’d end up being the one teased by him and he’d also have to clean her up and carry


    her back to their room.


    in the past, Liam rarely rejected her advances, despite his lukewarm feelings for her Still, he’d always


    be passionate in bed.


    However, sincest year, he began to grow colder towards her.


    They’d fought over having a child, and Liam seemed to lose interest in her.


    Maybe he had gotten tired of her long ago, and not wanting a child was just an excuse, or maybe it was


    only to protect Sydney?


    Damn it! Why didn’t he think about protecting his beloved woman when he was touching her?


    Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt her hand being held


    Coming back to her senses, she met Liam’s eyes. He asked hoarsely, “What are you doing?”


    Only then did Celeste realize that, while she was deep in thought, her hand had wandered down to his


    lower abdomen.


    Feeling embarrassed, she hurriedly tried to pull her hand back, but Liam suddenly pulled her forcefully,


    and she fell into the bathtub. Water sshed everywhere, and Celestended on top of Liam,


    struggling to get up.


    Liam held her waist tight with one hand, locking her close Feeling the heat from his hard body,


    Celeste’s mind went nk.


    She heard Liam’s maic voice close to her ear, “Told you to change your clothes earlier, see, you’re


    all wet now.”


    The scene and words both had a hint of ambiguity


    But it seemed Celeste had indeed drunk too much, her brain


    processing the situation, sheined, “If it wasn’t for you, how would I be wet?”


    Liam was stunned for a second before he couldn’t help but chuckle


    His vibrating chest revealed his delight.


    Celeste froze, looking at him.


    She had never seen Liamugh like this before


    Such a good looking face, why did he hold back his smile, always looking so serious? Even when he


    did smile, it’d be a cold or mocking one.


    Now, this kind of smile, the corner of his eyes sparkling with gentleness, she’d never seen before.


    As Celeste opened her mouth to say something, Liam suddenly pressed his lips to hers.

    Stunned, she instinctively widened her eyes, forgetting to resist.


    The alcohol indeed increased her courage but slowed down her reaction.


    Liam’s movements were slow and gentle With their years of intimacy, be easily found her weak spots,


    making her defenseless. “It’s my fault”


    While grinding their ears together, Celeste still couldn’t quite make sense of the meaning behind those


    words.


    Later, things got out of her control


    In any case, it was a chaotic night
