After reading the message , Celeste swiped the screen away without replying .
That evening , Celeste went out for dinner with her family .
When they arrived at the restaurant , she let her family go in first while she tried to find a parking spot .
After parking the car , she got out with her bag in hand , not noticing that the car parked in the spot next to hers belonged to Wynn .
Wynn had just finished a phone call . After hanging up , she spotted Celeste .
As Celeste locked her car and was about to walk toward the restaurant , she suddenly heard someone call out , Cece ? ”
There was only one person who called her that – Zachary’s wife , Nadine Yarborough . 2
Celeste froze for a moment . When she turned around , sure enough , she saw Nadine not far away . 1

Wynn had originally been about to get out of her car , but when she saw Nadine , she also froze in surprise .
Nadine was not only a genius in the medical field , but also Zachary’s wife . Although she kept a low profile and rarely appeared in the media , anyone who cared to look into her would find her background easily enough .
So the moment Wynn saw Nadine , she recognized her .

As she came to her senses and was about to get out of the car , she saw Celeste turn to Nadine and address her , which made her pause again in shock . 2
Celeste said , “M – Mrs . Newman ! ”
Nadine smiled warmly at Celeste . As she walked up , she opened her arms and hugged her affectionately . “ My Cece , it’s been so long . ”
Being hugged by Nadine , Celeste was clearly moved . She hugged her back and said , “ It’s been a long time . ”
After holding her for a moment , Nadine let go and pinched her cheek affectionately . “ It’s been a few years , and you’re getting prettier and prettier . ”
Celeste didn’t move , still hugging Nadine and letting her pinch her cheek . Smiling , she said , “ You still look as young and beautiful as ever , Mrs. Newman . ” 1
Nadine didn’t bother with modesty . “ Mhm , I know , ” she said playfully . 2
Both of them laughed .
Then Nadine said , “ I’ve been so swamped in Santerra City these past few years . But I’ve kept up with the news about you and Matt founding your company . 2
“ The way you two shook the world recently after you went back to YodaVision – you’re still just as amazing . ”
Celeste blushed a little at the praise and shifted the topic . “ I’m here with my family for dinner . What about you , Mrs. Newman ? If you’re free , would you like to join us ? ”
“ I’m here for a business dinner , so let’s save it for next time , ” Nadine smiled . “ It’s been four to five years since I Hast saw you and Matt . I had already planned to catch up over a meal once I wrapped things up here .
“ What a coincidence running into you like this today . If you and Matt are free , shall we meet in a few days ? ”

Celeste nodded sweetly . “ Sure . ”
Nadine pinched her cheek again . “ Perfect . One of my younger relatives is a big fan of the programming language you developed — Cuap . I’ll bring them along next time . You won’t mind , will you ? ” 11
Celeste shook her head . “ Of course not . ” Then she added , “ Also , I haven’t had the chance to thank you in person for inviting Dr. Tindall to treat my mom . ”
“ That was nothing , ” Nadine said with a smile . Then , she glanced at her watch and said , “ My dinner guest just arrived . I can’t keep them waitin , g or I’ll look too haughty . Let’s head in . ”
Celeste let go of her and linked arms with her . “ Okay . ”
With that , the two of them walked toward the restaurant completely unaware of Wynn , who sat behind her half- open car door , having overheard the entire exchange . 20
