    With a frown on his face, he emerged with the intent to reprimand her, only to find Celeste in the midst


    of changing her dress in the living room.


    The full-length mirror in the living room was thergest and better than the one in the bedroom. The


    living room’s lighting was also closer to natural light, making the reflection more urate.


    At least twenty outfits were piled on the sofa, with those she had discarded presumably being the ones


    she had already tried on but found unsatisfactory.


    Usually, Celeste dressed quite modestly. Even when wearing dresses, she preferred necklines higher


    than her corbone. But now, she found these styles. unsatisfactory.


    She twirled around in front of the mirror, but eventually she disrobed.


    Her waistline was quite stunning, and as she undressed, her slender midriff was revealed. Her legs,


    long and straight, were beautifully contoured, giving her an ethereal appeal like a captivating fairy.


    Leaning against the railing of the second floor, Liam sipped his coffee nonchntly, unapologetically


    enjoying the scenery below.


    Celeste received a call from Trisha Colton.


    Tm in the middle of changing. I’m attending a jewelry exhibition tonight,” she said, flipping through her


    pile of clothes with a slight irritation, “I can’t seem to find anything suitable to wear


    Liam wondered, could all these clothes truly be unsuitable?


    “Alright, see you tomorrow then, yes, okay.”


    After hanging up, she suddenly spotted a white dress among the heap of clothes.


    Liam found it familiar, and as she put it on, his expression involuntarily darkened.


    The dress was the one Mason Fletcher had given her during thest charity event.

    The corner of Liam’s lips tightened as he set his coffee cup down and descended the staircase.


    Celeste really liked this dress. Although the design was simple, it was incredibly ttering, entuating


    her figure.


    She had been admiring herself in the mirror for quite some time, and just as she was about to


    essorize, she turned around and bumped into Liam, causing the coffee in his hand to spill,


    sttering her dress.


    With a cry of surprise, Celeste quickly grabbed some tissues to blot the stain, but it was toote. The


    coffee had quickly seeped into the fabric, marring the pure white dress with arge, unsightly blotch.


    “Why on earth didn’t you make a sound standing behind me?” Celesteined while trying to clean


    the stain, wondering if it could bepletely washed out, as she had only worn the dress once.


    Liam, however, showed no signs of guilt. “How was I supposed to know you were going to suddenly


    turn around?”


    Celeste was extremely displeased with his attitude, “You knew I was changing. Why would you stand


    behind me with a cup of coffee?”


    “This is my house, I can stand wherever I please, Liam retorted.


    Celeste managed to spit out, “How can you have the nerve to call yourself human?” She wanted to


    add: “You’d be better suited as a fox” Liam seemed to anticipate her next words, giving her a cold


    stare, “What did you say?” Celeste, seething with anger, fell silent.


    Right at that moment, the doorbell rang. Liam remained still like a statue. Celeste had no choice but to


    open the door in her dirty dress. She thought it was Nicsing, but to her surprise, it was Sienna


    Reed. ‘Grandma? What are you doing here?” Celeste hurriedly let the olddy in


    As Grandma walked in, she said, “Your mom told me Liam wasn’t feeling well, so he took a leave. I


    thought I’de check on him” Just as she said that, she saw Liam standing in the living room,


    perfectly healthy with a cup of coffee in his hand. The olddy paused and asked, “So, what ails you?”


    Celeste was about to speak, but Liam nonchntly replied, “Stomach ache, same old problem.”


    Celeste had no choice but to keep quiet.
