Chapter 10
Shawn thought Liam would definitely come, so he had prepared a table full of dishes. But seeing only Celeste show up, and Shawn’s face turned gloomy.
He stared at Celeste, carefully observing her expression.
Celeste’s face was serious, and even Shawn, a seasoned mature man, couldn’t figure out her mood for a while. After a long time, he said, “Let’s eat first.”
Celeste breathed a sigh of relief. Before she got the divorce certificate, she couldn’t let Shawn know, or there would be
trouble.
In the spacious dining room of the Campbell family, only the three of them were eating at the table.
Celeste had never been close to Shawn growing up. After her mother Caitlyn became a vegetable in a car accident, their relationship became even more estranged. It wasn’t until she married Liam that the estrangement eased a bit, but only on the surface.
When Liam wasn’t around, they were more like strangers with blood ties. On the other hand, the adopted Angel had a closer relationship with Shawn, more like a real father and daughter.
Compared to Celeste’s silence, Angel was sweet and lively, telling jokes at the dinner table to make Shawn happy. Although those jokes seemed boring to her, Shawn would always laugh along.
