Chapter 1285


    Celeste wiped it gently with a cloth and put it on her left hand, “He’s even be superstitious after


    the divorce. He says this kind of gem can ward off evil and tells me to wear it all the time.”


    Trisha took her hand and looked at the bracelet carefully, enviously saying, “Liam has good taste.”


    Celeste had very smooth skin, so the red bracelet looked even brighter on her hand


    To match her long dress, she tied up her hair with a scarf. This style suited the bracelet even better.


    Celeste originally had an emerald bracelet, but it was too expensive. If it got damaged, she would be


    heartbroken.


    This ruby bracelet was not as expensive, it wouldn’t easily break even when bumped, and even if it did


    break, she wouldn’t be too upset. Plus, it was a gift from Liam, he loved seeing her wearing his gifts


    At half past six, Steven knocked on their door to ask them toe downstairs, saying all the guests


    had arrived.


    On the way to the banquet hall, clusters of dianthus flowers were visible everywhere in the hotel, in all


    kinds of colors, emitting a refreshing fragrance.


    Celeste asked, “Steven, doesn’t ir have asthma? There are so many flowers here, won’t she be


    affected by the strong smell?”


    “This is what ir requested; she really likes dianthus flowers.”


    Celeste didn’t say anything more.


    Steven paused, whispering, “Celeste, what kind of flowers do you like? I’ll prepare them for your


    birthday.”


    Before Celeste could answer, Liam said, “She likes all flowers, but if she has to pick a favorite, it would


    be sunflowers, because you can eat sunflower seeds”


    Celeste knew her brother wouldn’t be happy about Liam answering for her.

    Steven, not pleased to hear him talk, nced at him, “Mr. Reed, have you heard of the saying…”


    Liam waited for him to speak


    “It’s toote to mend the fold after the sheep have escaped.”


    Liam was taken aback


    Unable to hold back herughter, Celeste held onto Steven, whispering, “Steven, he’s always known


    what flowers I like. Those flowers I grow at home, he’s the one taking care of them when I’m not


    around. Stop giving him a hard time, okay? For my sake?”


    Though unwilling, Steven didn’t say anything more, instead asking Celeste, “Do you like gardening?”


    Celeste nodded, “Mainly because I really like the fragrance of flowers, I find it quite magical.”


    “Me too Steven smiled, “Just like our mom.”


    ir couldn’t She actually wanted to learn perfumery, but she had asthma and a poor sense of smell.


    She’d feel ufortable if she smelled too much, so she studied design instead, even though she was


    still working at the perfumepany, CALE


    Chatting away, they had already reached the banquet hall


    As they pushed open the door, they saw that the hall was already packed with people.


    ir, dressed in a pastel pink chiffon gown, wasughing and having a grand old time chatting with the


    people around her.


    She was sporting a silver, diamond–studded crown on her head. The bracelet and earrings she wore


    seemed to be a matching set with the crown, shining brightly and catching everyone’s eye in the crowd


    Sensing that someone was watching her, ir suddenly turned her head.


    She seemed somewhat surprised when she saw them, then her eyes suddenly lit up, making her


    elegant face even more vibrant


    She put down whatever she was holding and slowly walked towards them


    As she got closer, she pulled Steven’s hand out from Celeste’s arm and held it. “Steven, you finally


    made it.”


    Celeste stood there stunned, staring at her now empty hand, unconsciously curling her fingers.
