Chapter 1189


    Celeste casually elevated her nket, a bit, “Don’t you need to get to work?”


    The moment she spoke, she noticed her voice was a bit hoarse, so she hastily cleared her throat.


    Liam noticed her actions, and a hint of amusement shed in his eyes.


    “Today’s the weekend.”


    Celeste gave a small “oh“, pulling her shoulders back into the nket


    “What time is it now?”


    Liam nced at his phone, “It’s ten minutes till eleven.”


    Celeste was somewhat inclined to get up but felt awkward about doing so since Liam was still lying


    down.


    After all, she wasn’t dressed. She could be carefree when sleeping, but the embarrassment would


    return once she woke up.


    Seeing Liam still motionless, she tried to start a conversation, “I wonder how things are going with


    Shawn?”

    “Last night Helen had Angel take Jacques into hiding, but they ended up getting caught by Nics.”


    Liam ryed what Nics and the others had been up tost night to Celeste and finally added, “He’s


    probably busy with Jacques paternity test right


    now.”


    Celeste was taken aback by this and thenughed mockingly. “He’s always wanted a son, but in the


    end, he’s raising someone else’s child”


    Liam nodded, “Hopefully, he can ept reality.”


    Celeste asked, “What reality?”


    Liam slowly said, “Though the son isn’t his, his wife still is. That’s also a kind of gain.”


    Celeste couldn’t help but chuckle, “You sure know how tofort people.”


    Liam tilted his head to look at her, “Aren’t you getting up yet?”


    Celeste clutched the nket tightly, trying to keep herposure, “You go ahead; I’ll stay in bed a bit


    longer.


    Liam, who was about to sit up,id back down. Then I’ll keep youpany for a while.”


    “If you don’t get up first, we’ll have to get up togetherter, and we might have to fight over the


    bathroom.”


    Celeste was trying to get Liam to leave first.


    Liam nced at her, “We’re not so poor that we only have one bathroom.”


    “Let’s chat, the book says frequent chatting can help enhance a couple’s feelings for each other.”


    Liam’s voice was very soothing.


    Celeste gave him a puzzled look, “Chat about what?”


    Liam said, “Let’s talk about your first love.”


    Celeste thought this topic was over


    This wasn’t just jealousy anymore, it was downright madness


    Celeste attempted to change the subject, “That was a long time ago, I don’t even remember. Are you


    trying to make things difficult for me?”


    Liam said lightly, “Didn’t you still remember the tutoring ss you both attended? Start from there.”


    Celeste couldn’t help butugh out loud


    She moved closer, gently touching Liam’s hair and whispering, “I never knew you were so jealous. You


    want me to talk about my ex–boyfriend, but you’ll get mad if I do. Aren’t you just making trouble for


    yourself?”


    Liam said, “I won’t be at ease without a marriage certificate


    Celeste chuckled, “Well How about we remarry once you’ve earned enough points?”


    Liam paused, his expression serious, “Are you serious?”


    “I’m not joking”


    Liam finally stopped fretting about her ex–boyfriend because he started considering his own situation.


    Celeste saw him calcting on his phone and couldn’t resist leaning in to ask, “How many points did


    you get?”
