    Chapter 184


    Nics Francis was holding back hisughter 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. Nics on the other side of the screen didn’t have that


    much self-control, and he pounded on the desk,ughing


    Only then did Celeste realize that Liam was on video chat and felt a bit embarrassed.


    Liam struggled to swallow the milk, frowning andmenting, “Lame!”


    think it’s hrious,” said Nics, tears streaming down his face. “Celeste, you have a talent for telling


    jokes.”


    Nics wasn’t ttering her. When Celeste told stories, probably due to her professional habits, she


    would adopt different voices for different. characters, making them reallye to life.


    Yet Celeste thought he was making fun of her and forced augh.


    If she had known that Liam was on video chat, she wouldn’t have started this conversation.


    As she was about to leave, Liam nced at her, “Are there any other jokes?”


    You just said it wasme, 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 somewhatme, and she coughed awkwardly, “Not that funny, huh?”


    Nics yed along, it’s funny, very funny”


    Liam, on the other hand, sarcastically said, “Ridiculous, it shoud be.”


    Celeste almost wanted to ssh the milk on Liam’s face.


    Nics, 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. She bought it at a museum auction and wants to donate it to the country


    Before donating, she wants to hold a jewelry show to let everyone see its thousand year charm. Do you


    want to see it?”


    Celeste was instantly interested and found it hard to resist


    The market price for luminous pearls isn’t hugh. The real value lies in the history it bears


    For those who love jewelry and antiques, this luminous pearl, spanning more than two thousand years,


    is an incredibly precious treasure.


    1.I’d better not go Liam’s arm is still injured, and I need to take care of him”


    Celeste hesitated, obviously tempted


    Nics said, “Hes not a kid, and you dont need to coddle him. Leave him at home, and I take you


    there.”
