    Chapter 505


    Celeste’s arm was damp from his sweaty palm, and she couldn’t help but say, “If you’re tired, go to


    sleep.”


    Liam, with half–closed eyes, said, “I’ll sleep once the money is in your ount, or else you’ll leave


    again.”


    Celeste thought to herself that whether or not the money was deposited, she was going to leave


    anyway. They were already divorced, and this ce was no longer her home.


    But she didn’t say anything after she saw Liam’s stubborn look.

    Whatever she said, he wouldn’t remember when he woke up.


    “Letti”


    Liam softly called her as he held her and theyy on the pile of money.


    Celeste didn’t respond.


    “Letti.”


    Liam didn’t hear her reply, so he called out again.


    She whispered, “What?”


    “Don’t date Steven,” he said, nuzzling her neck. “If you think I’m not good enough, I’ll change, but I


    can’t change my looks. Just be with me more. and you’ll get used to it.”


    Celeste was just starting to feel a little moved when she heard Liam continue, “I used to think you


    weren’t pretty enough, your eyes weren’t big enough, your nose wasn’t high enough, and you looked a


    bit silly when youughed. But after being with you for a long time, you seem to be getting more and


    more beautiful.”


    Celeste suddenly wanted to shove a stack of bills into Liam’s mouth.


    Liam babbled on, saying a lot of things that Celeste couldn’t quite remember. His voice grew softer and


    softer in her ear, and they both unknowingly fell asleep.


    Money may look good, but it’s notfortable to sleep on,


    Celeste woke up the next day, her body aching from the cash beneath her. She opened her eyes and


    stared at the familiar ceiling, taking a few minutes to recall the events of the previous night.


    Liam was still fast asleep, his hand tightly hooked around her waist.


    Celeste removed his hand, checked the time on her phone, and saw that it was just past six.


    She called Owen again, but he still didn’t pick up.


    Estimating the time, she figured Liam would wake up soon, so she called Nics.


    On the phone, she just told Nics that something had happened at Liams ce and asked him to


    help deal with it.


    Nics was still half-asleep, but when he heard that Celeste had spent the night with Liam, he


    immediately perked up, got dressed, and drove


    over to Pinecrest Manor


    Liam was awakened by the doorbell.


    He frowned, as he was very unhappy about being woken up, and it took him a while to sit up.


    It was only after sitting up that he realized he wasn’t in bed. He looked down and pursed his lips.


    Nics had been calling out for a long time before Liam finally came to open the door.


    Seeing Liam still half–asleep and not having changed his clothes, Nics immediately imagined a


    dramatic scene and smirked, “Impressive! I thought it would take some time, but I didn’t expect you to


    win Celeste over so quickly!”


    As he walked in, he asked, “Where’s Celeste? She said there was an issue here. What happened…


    Oh!”


    Nics stood in the entrance, looking at the piles of cash all over the room, and blurted out a curse,


    “Did you rob a bankst night or something?”


    Liam rubbed his temples, his hangover giving him a massive headache, “Why are you here?”


    “Your wife… your ex–wife let me here, okay?” Nics forced his eyes away from the cash, “She called


    me at like 6 in the morning, said there was some stuff going on here, and asked me toe help you


    out.”


    He paused and added, “Was she talking about the bank robbery?”


    Liam ignored that part and frowned, “Celeste called you? She was with mest night?“
