    Chapter 280


    Latonia stammered, “I–I didn’t mean it like that.”


    Liam lifted his eyes, “Then what did you mean? Exin yourself. My wife, young as she is, married me,


    cooks and cleans for me day in and day out, works her ass off, saves money and takes care of the


    Reed family, so that I don’t have any worries at work. How did she be a joke?”


    Celeste,didn’t know what to say.


    Liam’s lies were so convincing that even she, as the person involved, was blushing.


    She overslept till noon, her cooking was just so–so, and she liked to go shopping using Liam’s credit


    card.


    From Liam’s perspective, her divorce request would’ve been ungrateful.


    Latonia blushed, and she couldn’t say a word for a long time.


    The other rtives looked on with amusement.


    Serves you right!


    In the end, Shawn spoke up, “You’re an adult now, but you still can’t control your words in front of the


    kids?”


    Latonia looked embarrassed and finally quieted down.


    Soon, Angel helped Old Mr. Campbelle downstairs.


    Old Mr. Campbell was nearly ny but fairly healthy. He was a bit hunched over with age, his face full


    of wrinkles, and his clothes were clean and fresh. He looked sharp.


    Old Mr. Campbell looked around and fixed his gaze on Liam, sizing him up. Shawn wanted to help Old


    Mr. Campbelle closer, but he waved him off. “Grandpa, this is my son–inw, Liam. I’ve shown


    you his picture before.” He spoke louder than usual since Old Mr. Campbell was hard of hearing.


    “How old are you now?”


    Old Mr. Campbell asked.


    Liam pursed his lips, “Thirty.”


    Old Mr. Campbell furrowed his brows, muttering, “Why did you just get married? Is there something


    wrong with you?” Liam was speechless.


    Everyone else broke out a cold sweat at his words.


    Celeste almostughed, while Liam’s face darkened.


    Shawn hurried to exin, fearing that Liam would get angry, “They didn’t just get married this year.


    They’ve been married for several years.”


    Then, he whispered to Liam, “He’s old and a bit confused.”


    “You’re the one who’s confused!” Old Mr. Campbell snapped, “Celeste is still so young, and you were in


    a hurry to marry her off. As her father, how could you do such a thing?”


    Liam was speechless again.


    He was kind of regretting agreeing to take Old Mr. Campbell in.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Of course, his words were mainly meant for Shawn. Celeste suddenly thought that Old Mr. Campbell


    didn’t seem all that


    confused.


    Shawn smiled apologetically, “Liam treats Celeste very well. Marrying him is a blessing for her. How


    could I be harming her?” Old Mr. Campbell just snorted and didn’t say anything else.


    Liam’s visit to the Reed family was a rare opportunity, so Shawn insisted on having him stay for a meal.
