Chapter 1096


    Mason nced over and said, “Still need some cups,” he paused, then asked Celeste, “Are you busy?


    If not, can you help me pick ut a few? I’m not that good at choosing this kind of stuff”


    Celeste checked the time. It was still early, so she said, “Sure, why not, I need to pick a couple myself.”


    Mason casually asked, “Are they for Ms. Colton?


    Celeste hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly chuckled, “Yeah.”


    Actually, these items were for Liam’s new house. The vi was already decorated, but there was


    basically nothing inside, even utensils and toiletries were disposable ones brought by Owen.


    Liam said they should pick out things together when they both have time, and move to this house after


    they remarry, because their grandmother said the living environment over here was good for a peaceful


    marriage and children’s growth.


    She didn’t know why Liam, a non–believer, was recently always exploring some mysterious things, but


    she did enjoy shopping together


    But she had to pick the cups herself, because Liam would definitely choose ugly ones. She had to buy


    them first.


    Celeste put the stuff in the car, and got a ride with Mason to a nearby mall. Along the way, Mason


    asionally asked about Celeste’s recent situation. She answered casually, looking very natural.


    Lately, because of themotion caused by Sydney falling down the stairs, especially after Sydney’s


    interview was made public, many people online demanded Celeste to apologize, but she didn’t respond


    even after a few days, which made people worried.


    Mason considered for a moment, then said, “I know some PR friends, let me know if you need help.”


    Celeste was taken aback for a moment, and then understood that he was talking about the recent


    public opinion storm. She smiled and said, “No need, I can handle it myself.”


    “How do you n to deal with it?” Mason asked casually.


    Celeste opened her mouth, then closed it, and mysteriously said, “It’s a secret, you’ll know tomorrow.”


    Mason smiled and didn’t ask any more questions


    The car soon arrived at the mall’s underground parking lot, Mason parked the car, and they both got on


    the elevator. It was close to the holidays, the mall was crowded, and there were a lot of people waiting


    for the elevator, including many parents taking their children, and quite a few college students on


    vacation.


    As soon as the elevator door opened, people rushed in after those inside walked out, Celeste was


    almost pushed in. She turned her head to see if Mason hade in, and heard his voice from above,


    “Come stand over here.”


    He slightly raised his arm, making a bit of space for her, Celeste squeezed through and stood in the


    corner.


    in front of her was Mason, and there were people behind and to the right, and to the left were two


    young girls, who had been whispering since they got in.


    When the elevator started, a woman holding a child next to her lost her bnce and swayed


    backwards, Celeste was startled and quickly supported her

    The woman, after the scare, steadied herself, turned to Celeste and thanked her. Then, she gently


    rocked the child in her arms, and quietly said, “Go on, say thank you”


    The child blinked at Celeste, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her mask.


    The woman was startled and quickly pulled the child’s hand away, apologizing awkwardly, Tm sorry, I’m


    sorry, the child might have just woken up, he’s a bit dazed”


    She said, gently patting the child’s butt, “How can you be so impolite? What have I been teaching you?


    Apologize now.”
