Chapter 320
That morning , Celeste hadn’t been working for long when the received an official acceptance notice from an A Journal .
A little while later , Matillas came by to discuss work with Her . He wasn’t surprised when he learned that her paper had been accepted .
After all , with Zachary’s endorsement as an authority in the field , if even he believed the paper was solid , there was no doubt it would pass the review stage .
After finishing their discussion , Celeste checked the time and asked , “ Want to grab lunch together ? ”
Matthias rubbed his temples , looking a little weary . “ I’ve got plans . ”
Celeste looked up . “ What’s up ? ”
Matthias smirked . “ A blind date . Arranged by my grandpa . ”
Hearing this , Celeste chuckled . “ You’re already 28 and only now going on your first blind date . That’s pretty good . ”
Matthias was speechless .
Honestly , his family had never been too pushy about his marriage .
But this time , the young woman was the granddaughter of his grandfather’s close friend . Since it was hard to refuse , he had no choice but to go .
Celeste said , “ Alright then , go ahead . I’ll just eat at the cafeteria . ”
“ Okay . ”
Matthias arrived at the restaurant half an hour later .
It was a cozy , romantic place – clearly designed for couples .
Not long after he sat down , his blind date arrived as well .
Coincidentally , Miles also came to the restaurant at that moment , accompanied by his female companion .
As soon as he walked in , he spotted Matthias sitting not far away .
However , since Matthias was facing away from him , he didn’t notice Miles ,
Miles faised an eyebrow and deliberately chose a seat behind Matthias .
Matthias wasn’t speaking particularly loudly , but since Miles was sitting so close , he quickly realized that Matthias was on a blind date .
Miles ‘ female companion was about to say something , but he put a finger to his lips , signaling her to stay quiet .
Excited , he pulled out his phone and secretly snapped a picture of Matthias and his date . Then , he sent it to a group chat with Trevor , Beck , and Wynn .
“ Guess what’s happening ? Hint : this is a couple’s restaurant . ”
Beck had just finished work and was about to grab a meal when he saw the new message notification . He looked at the picture after opening it .

With Miles ‘ hint , it was obvious – Matthias was on a blind date . But instead of replying , Beck left the message : unread , as if he hadn’t seen it ..
Wynn and Trevor also remained silent .
Miles , eager to share his gossip , was getting impatient when no one responded . He quickly typed , “ Where is everyone ? It’s lunchtime – are you all busy ? ”
Still , Beck didn’t reply .
Then , Wynn finally sent a message . “ Saw it . ”
Miles perked up and asked , “ Smart as you are , you must already know what’s going on , right ? ”
Like Beck , Wynn had immediately guessed what was happening the moment she saw the picture .
She chuckled and replied , “ A blind date ? ”
“ Bingo ! ”
Wynn looked at Miles ‘ reply and smiled but didn’t continue the conversation .
A few days ago , although she hadn’t attended Martha’s birthday banquet , she had heard about Matthias ‘ mother expressing approval of Celeste .
Apparently , Matthias ‘ mother had even said that if Celeste and Matthias were ready , she could start preparing for their wedding anytime .
When Wynn first heard this , she found it absurd
She was certain that Matthias ‘ mother had only said that because she didn’t really know Celeste . Otherwise , she wouldn’t have made such a statement at Martha’s birthday banquet .
In other words, Matthias ‘ mother was probably completely unaware of Celeste’s past with Trevor
If she ever found out that Celeste had been married before , there was no way she would agree to Celeste marrying into their family .
Since neither Trevor nor Beck had responded yet , Miles impatiently tagged them both .
Seeing that they still hadn’t replied , he asked Wynn , “ Trevor isn’t with you ? ”
Wynn saw the message and replied , “ No , he had something to do . He left on a business trip this morning . ”
“ Alright then . ”
Just as he sent that message , Trevor finally appeared in the chat with a brief response . “ Noted . ”
