Chapter 309
Liam pursed his lips and after a long time, he finally said, “I misunderstood her.”
Owen said, “Mrs. doesn’t hold grudges. Just apologize nicely, sweet–talk her a bit, and she’ll definitely
forgive you.”
No grudge? The teeth marks she left on his arm from biting him when he took her nketst night
haven’t faded yet.
There’s no woman more vindictive than her in the world.
Liam handed his phone back to Owen. “Have someone keep an eye on Sydney. Don’t let her get hurt
or cause trouble before the agreed time. If she breaks the agreement again, I’ll take back everything
I’ve given her the way I gave it.”
“Understood.”
Just as Owen left, Celeste sent a message, “Grandpa David is asking if you’reing back for dinner
tonight.”
Liam nced at the unfinished work next to him, closed the file and replied, “OK.”
When Liam returned, Old Mr. David was uncharacteristically enthusiastic. “Young Reed, you’re back?”
He squinted and grinned; his facial wrinkles squeezed together, looking kind and funny.
Feeling slightly overwhelmed, Liam gave an affirmative response, nced at the untouched food on
the table, and exined, “There was some traffic.”
“Getting stuck in traffic is normal. We’ve been waiting all day for you toe back for dinner. You
better go wash your hands now.”
Not only was Liam puzzled, but so was Celeste.
When she got back from work today, she found David busy in the kitchen.
She offered to help but was driven out. David insisted on calling Liam back for dinner, and wouldn’t let
her touch the food till he arrived.
She witnessed how much the old man looked down on Liam during his stay. Tonight he was so weird.
After Liam washed his hands, David immediately told him to take a seat and personallydled a bowl of
soup for him.
“Eat it while it’s hot.”
As Celeste casually reached for her bowl to scoop some soup, David pped her hand away. “This is
not for you.”
Sheined, “I helped, but I’m not worthy of trying the soup?”
David said, “There’s other soup. You can have that. This one is specially made for Young Reed.”
Liam was a bit surprised, but seeing the jealous look on Celeste’s face, he couldn’t help but smile.
“Hurry and eat it while it’s hot. It won’t taste as good when it’s cold,” David urged.
Liam wasn’t fond of soup, but since the old man had prepared it himself, he couldn’t let his elder feel
disappointed, so he took a sip.
David watched Liam closely, “How is it? Tasty?”
After just one sip, Liam frowned. “The taste is a bit strange.”
“Drink it all in one go, and it won’t taste strange. Drink up.”
Unable to bear David’s constant urging, Liam forced himself to finish the bowl of soup despite his
difort.
David immediately took the empty bowl and filled it again. “Come, have another bowl.”
Liam frowned, his heart resisting. “Let me eat something first, then I’ll have more soup.”
“It won’t be as effective when it’s cold. Hurry, drink it while it’s hot.”
Liam hesitated, “What effect?”
“Tonic for virility.”
With a dark face, Liam gritted his teeth. “I don’t need it!”
“Don’t be like that,” Celeste smirked. “Don’t waste Grandpa David’s kind intentions. Honey, you need to
pay more attention. You’re only thirty, and you need to go to the bathroom so many times a night. How
will you cope when you’re older?”
David’s eyes widened. “What? You have to go to bathroom many times a night?”
Liam’s mouth twitched as he red at Celeste, grinding his teeth. “That was when I had diarrhea a few
days ago. I’m fine now!”
Liam had a sensitive stomach, and he had diarrhea the night David cooked the seafood soup, probably
because it wasn’t fully cooked.
Of course, Celeste knew what happened and deliberately mentioned it. She had been wrongly used
of infertility for so long–now it was Liam’s
turn to taste that bitterness.
“Honey, Grandpa David means well. What’s there to be shy about? Hurry, drink it while it’s hot~”
Liam’s face turned livid.

Chapter 309
To avoid Liam’s anger, Celeste went upstairs after dinner.
After eating, Liam was dragged out for a walk by David. By the time he came back upstairs, it was
already nine o’clock.
She was expecting Liam toe in and settle the score, but he did nothing, grabbed his clothes, and
went straight to wash up.
When she finished reading the new script Micha sent, Liam came out of the bathroom.
She nced up and almost threw her phone.
Liam wrapped a towel around himself and just came out like that.
He usually dressed tightly after a shower. What’s up with him today?
She watched the droplets of water fall from his hair to his corbone, to his well–defined abs, and
finally slide down the edge of the towel.
Just as the waterdrop was about to disappear into the towel, Liam suddenly reached out and pulled
down the towel, revealing that he was actually wearing boxers.
Boring.
She plugged in her phone, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
Liam dried his hair and got into bed. Celeste was very tired and almost fell asleep as soon as she
closed her eyes.
Suddenly, the person beside her moved. Annoyed, she tightened the nket around herself.
After a while, the person beside her moved again. He turned one way and then the other, making it
impossible for Celeste to sleep.
Losing patience, she opened her eyes. “What are you doing?”
Liam’s face appeared a bit flushed. With gritted teeth, he finally blurted out, “What on earth was in that
soup!”
