Chapter 468


    She wandered around the streets and eventually stopped in front of a restaurant


    Booze is a great way to ease your mood when you’re feeling super down.


    She drank fast and furiously, not even touching any food At first, the owner thought it was good for


    business, but the more she drank, the more worried he became.


    Worried that she’d have an ident if she got too drunk


    So when she finished drinking and asked for more, he refused. ‘Miss, you’ve had quite a bit already.


    Why not order some food?”


    “I’m not hungry,” Celeste replied, her head resting on her hand, her cheeks flushed, looking tipsy but


    speaking clearly. “Just get me another bottle of wine”


    “Miss, you drove here What if you get drunk and can’t go back? Your family will worry about you.”


    “I have no family. Celeste whispered. “My mom died. No one’s waiting for me to go home, and no one’s


    worried about me anymore.”


    The owner, seeing that Celeste was not much older than his own daughter, couldn’t help but give her


    some advice “Even so, you shouldn’t harm your body Your mom would be heartbroken if she knew.”


    Celeste sobbed silently, and the owner poured her a ss of water. “Drink this and take a nap. When


    you wake up, you need to live well.”


    Celeste didn’t ask for any more wine. She slowly sipped the water, and the owner went to greet other


    customers after seeing that her condition was okayPublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    When the restaurant got less busy, the owner looked over, and found she had fallen asleep on the


    table.


    Her phone kept ringing on the table, but she didn’t hear it at all. The owner couldn’t wake her up even


    after calling her for a while, so he answered the phone for her.


    Mason had filed awsuit with the court for the defamation case. He went over some of the evidence


    he had collected previously and wanted to


    double–check with Celeste, so he called her.


    Instead of Celeste, a middle–aged male stranger answered the phone.


    “Hello?”


    Mason hesitated, “Who is this?”


    “Oh, this phone belongs to a customer in my restaurant. She’s drunk and sleeping here. I couldn’t wake


    her up, so I answered the phone for her.”


    Mason frowned, “You mean she’s drinking? By herself?”


    “Yes, she drove here alone. Are you her friend? Can youe and pick her up? My restaurant is about


    to close.”


    “Where’s your restaurant?”


    The owner quickly gave the address.


    Mason said, “I’ll be right there. Please take care of her for me.”


    “Alright.”


    After hanging up, Mason grabbed his coat and left.


    Shanna Fletcher was chatting with Kaylee downstairs when Mason came out. She quickly called him,


    “Mason, are you done? Kaylee has been waiting for you for a while. She brought you some food she


    made herself, knowing you might be hungry from work. Come down and try it.”


    Kaylee’s voice softened a bit when she saw Mason. “I was chatting with your mom this afternoon, and


    she said you haven’t been eating welltely. I remember you used to love this dish, so I tried making it.


    It might not be perfect, but it tastes good.”


    Shanna Fletcherughed, “It’s already great. My cooking wasn’t even this good when I was young.”


    Mason went straight to the door, putting on his shoes as he said, “No need, you guys eat. I have to go


    meet a client.”
