Chapter 447
Monday morning , just as Celeste arrived at the office building downstairs , she bumped into Kieran , who was also arriving for work .
Kieran smiled as he said , “ Morning . ”
Celeste responded , “ Morning . ”
As soon as she spoke , she caught sight of Caleb nearby . Seeing him made her pause slightly .
Kieran noticed Caleb as well and frowned in displeasure .
Caleb didn’t pay much attention to Kieran and walked straight over to Celeste .
“ I got home early yesterday morning . We haven’t seen each other in a while , so I thought I’d come by and say hello .
Caleb really had come just to see her . Her attitude had been clear all along , so he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable or annoy her .
He added , “ Go ahead with your work . Don’t mind me . I’ll leave in a bit . ”
There was honestly nothing more Celeste felt needed to be said between them . His sudden appearance had left her at a bit of a loss for words .
Since he said that , she didn’t stand on ceremony . She nodded and turned to head upstairs .
Kieran glanced at Caleb before following behind Celeste .
Caleb watched her retreating figure . After a long moment , he turned and returned to his car .
There was a bouquet of flowers in the car .
He had originally planned to give them to Celeste , but given the way things looked now , if he actually brought them out , she’d probably be even more put off and want to avoid him .
Thinking that , Caleb gave a helpless laugh . 7
In the elevator , Kieran stood beside Celeste and pressed the button .
Seeing how he was silently watching her , Celeste looked up and asked , “ What is it ? ”
Kieran shook his head . “ Nothing . ‘
But he couldn’t hold it in and finally asked , “ About Mr. Jennings … Does he often ask to meet with you ? ”
Celeste replied , “ No. ”
Caleb’s work was quite demanding , and he didn’t have many breaks . Even if he wanted to see her , he didn’t have the time .
Earlier , Celeste had clearly turned Caleb down , and Kieran had secretly felt relieved . Still , he couldn’t help worrying that if Caleb stepped up his pursuit , Celeste might eventually give in .
That thought suddenly made him think of Beck .
As far as he knew , Beck also liked Celeste . But he hadn’t shown up for quite a while , and like himself , had never

really pursued her seriously . 1
Why was that ? Did he give up ?
Then a new thought struck Kieran . Could it be that Beck knew Celeste’s husband ? 2
Still hesitating , Kieran finally asked , “ I’m a bit curious … ”
“ Hm ? ” Celeste responded .
Kieran said , “ Mr. Jennings is a pretty good guy , but you don’t seem interested in him . Why is that ? ”
What he really wanted to know was whether there was something specific she disliked about Caleb or if she had any limits when it came to relationships and marriage .
If she did , he’d make sure to avoid triggering them himself in the future . 3
To Celeste , Kieran wasn’t the gossipy type .
Since this was the first time he had asked her a personal question , she didn’t feel annoyed by it and answered directly
“ I haven’t officially divorced yet . How could I consider him Besides , I’m sure I don’t have any romantic interest in Mr. Jennings . ” 3
Kieran had thought she was already divorced .
Hearing this , he froze . “ You … You’re not officially divorced yet ? ”
Celeste shook her head and said , “ Not yet . ”
Just as she finished speaking , the elevator arrived .
Celeste stepped out and headed straight to her office .
Kieran stood there watching her figure retreat , momentarily blanking out . Then something suddenly clicked .
Could it be that the reason Beck never made a move on Celeste wasn’t because he gave up ? But because he knew she wasn’t officially divorced ? 2
Or … Was it because Beck knew who her husband was ? 6
