hair.
She looked clean and fresh. No wonder Chase failed to recognize her as he drove past her earlier.
She never bothered to dress up for their dates.
Chase couldn’t help but wonder who was the beauty standing in front of Channing’s villa.
“Why can’t I be here? This isn’t your home after all, Celia sneered at him.
She wasn’t surprised to see Chase here.
However, Chase felt a sense of satisfaction, he approached her with a smile. “Celia, you’re here for me, right?”
Celia almost burst out laughing at his words
She had slapped and cursed Chase on that day at the hotel. She had even broken up with him.

“Stop imagining things! Im disgusted by a cheating partner like you”
For some reason, Celia used to like Chase very much.
However, she hated him now.
Suddenly, Shane’s face came to her mind, though they looked a little similar, their personality was different.
She seriously questioned her previous choices. Am I blind?
Chase’s expression darkened. “If you’re not here for me, then why are you here!”
“I’m waiting for someone. Celia scoffed and looked away.
Feeling annoyed, Chase took a step forward and grabbed Celia’s wrist.
“Celia, listen to me, Samantha and I are not what you think. I …‘

“Chase, what are you doing?” Shane glared at him.
Chase didn’t know how to explain, then he saw Celia walking over to Shane with a smile.
“Shane, you’re here. Mr. Roland mistook me for someone else!
Shane? She is calling him Shane? Was he the person that she was waiting for?
What’s their relationship?
“Are you alright?” Shane asked gently as he looked at Celia’s wrist.
“I’m fine.” Celia said while rubbing her wrist.

Was he trying to help me when he reprimanded him earlier?

Soon, they reached the living room
Rose had always been discreet. She would only celebrate her birthday at home with her family members, never inviting outsiders.
|| “Grandma” Shane greeted Rose and everyone turned towards him.
Their eyes widened when they saw a beautiful girl standing beside him.
What surprised them the most was the girl holding his arm.
After a moment of shock, Rose stood up excitedly from the couch and waved to them to come nearer
“Shane, quick! I want to get a good look at your girlfriend!”
“Hello!” Celia released Shane’s arm and greeted her politely

He left out an elegant woman who was sitting next to George.
Tension was in the air before Rose quickly intervened. “Celia, this is Jennie. You can call her Aunt Jennie.”
Celia glanced at Shane, unsure whether to greet her or not.
Shane didn’t respond to her.
Celia hesitated momentarily and gretted her softly, ‘Aunt Jennie.”
“Hey, nice to meet you. Jennie responded happily.
The atmosphere in the room lightened up.
Rose held Celia’s hand tightly and made Celia sit beside her. She liked Celia very much.
Celia, where do you stay? Are your parents healthy?”
As Celia was thinking about what to answer, a girl’s voice wis
heard.
“Grandma, we’re back!
