My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Celeste patiently tried to negotiate. [We’ll split the property 60-40, you get 60, I get 40]

Liam replied again [Ha ha]

Celeste gritted her teeth: [How about 70-30, you get 70, I get 30. I can’t give any more than that!]

This time, Liam took a while to reply. Just as Celeste was considering offering an 80-20 split, the phone rang. Liam called het

She picked up the phone and answered.

Liam’s clear voice came through, “Come with me to Kaylee’s welcome dinner tomorrow.”

“No- Celeste said.

Before Celeste could finish, Liam’s voice came again, “I’ll help you.”

Celeste swallowed the rest of her sentence and obediently said, “Fine.”

Both sides fell silent.

This was their first calm conversation since she moved out that day, and it felt a bit strange.

Liam was actually a pretty good potential husband.

He was handsome, capable at work, and aside from his cold personality and sometimes sharp tongue, he had no bad habits. Although their family backgrounds were very different, he had always been polite to the Campbell family and never treated her harshly in their daily life. He just didn’t love her.

Compared to those wealthy playboys with scandalous lives, Liam only had a sort of ex–girlfriend. Did they really need to get a divorce?

She wanted to say something, but before she could speak, a familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone, “Liam, who’s calling?”

Celeste was stunned, then laughed bitterly. She said lightly, “See you tomorrow,” and hung up the phone.

Why did she have to choose between bad and worse for a husband? A sory of ex–girlfriend was enough to destroy their

marriage.

The sudden hang–up left Liam frowning.

The girl next to him called him again, “Liam?”

Liam glanced at her, put away his phone, and replied coldly, “What’s up?”

Sydney handed him a beautifully wrapped box, and shyly whispered, “I’ve been bored at home lately, so I made some snacks and wanted you to try them.”

Liam didn’t move, just looked at her, “That’s it?”

Sydney’s heart tightened, gripping the box, she whispered, “Not just that… I also wanted to ask about work.”
