Celeste looked down at him and suddenly smiled.
This is probably fate. It’s not that she didn’t want to give him a chance, it’s that she already did.
And she gave it to him in her previous life.
In her previous life, she didn’t choose divorce but instead sent Vivian away, precisely because she remembered that promise and believed Xavier was just temporarily confused.
Lile did she know, he had truly changed his heart.
And the chance she had once promised ultimately became the fuse that led to her family’s ruin
Now, what face does he have left to bring it up again!
“No more
Celeste took two steps back and entered, “The chance was long warred by you. We have no future.”
These words were like the last straw.
These
Seemingly light, yet they landed heavily on Xavier’s chest, pressing him until he could barely breathe.
“Impossible…
He muntered with a pained expression.
Suddenly, a metallic taste surged in his throat, and he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood before passing out
The doctor guarding the villa rushed over
They quickly lifted him onto a stretcher and sent him to the makeshift emergency room, where they revived him.
Celeste wanted to seize the opportunity to leave, but as soon as she stepped out the door, the bodyguards waiting in the yard brought her back to the room. She could only obediently stay in the room and wait for him to wake up
Like
a caged bird, watching the days and nights endlessly alternate outside the window, yet unable to fly out even an inch
Until the night of the third day.
Someone broke into her dream, shouting, “Celeste, wake up quickly! I’m taking you out.”
The voice sounded like Lucian’s.
Celeste thought she was dreaming, but only after drowsily opening her eyes did she realize——
This isn’t a dream!!
The person standing by the bed was Lucian.
She rubbed her eyes and asked excitedly, “Mr. Blackwell, why is it you? What brings you here?”
Of course, I’m here to take you away.
Seeing her dazed look, a large part of Lucian’s worry was lifted, and he deliberately teased her, “What, you don’t want me here? Then I’ll leave now.”
After speaking, he turned around and genuinely prepared to leave.
Celeste urgently:
ly got up and pulled him back, explaining, “No, don’t leave me behind, I did want you to come, my brain just wasn’t fully awake yet.”
Lucian let out a chuckle.
Then he took her hand and said dotingly, “Alright, I won’t leave you behind. I promised your parents I’d bring you back safely. The bodyguards in the yard will change shifts soon; well take advantage of that gap to go down from the balcony.”
He originally wanted to break in with his men, but he wasn’t sure about Celeste’s condition and was afraid of a conflict harming her, which is why he resorted to sneaking in himself
Once
Mum
she was safe, he would artile the score with Xavier.
Celeste nodded.
For some reason, even though they hadn’t known each other long. Lucian gave her a strong sense of security
Sure enough, five minutes later the bodyguards changed shifts.
The two came to the balcony. Just as Lucian put the rope harness on Celeste, he heard a voice from behind them, “Mr. Blackwell, you’ve come all this way, why not say hello?
Celeste stiffened, then sighed.
She turned around and saw Xavier standing behind her, looking at her with sad eyes-“Cess, does being by my side make you so miserable?”
He had originally planned to let her go tomorrow,
But just now, a bodyguard came to ask for instructions, saying that someone had snack into Celeste’s room and asked if they could come in to check
Hearing this, he immediately panicked.
He endured his pain and ran over, fearing that a thief had broken in to steal, which would put Celeste in danger.
But who knew it was Lucian.
Why him again?!
Xavier’s desire to win was provoked by him; he wanted to take one last gamble
