Chapter 52
Celeste glanced at Skyler subconsciously.
Skyler said nonchalantly. “Mrs. Meyer is asking you a question.”
Celeste twitched her mouth, “I’m not really good at it.”
Mrs. Meyer laughed, “That’s perfect then.”
And so, Celeste took Mrs. Garber’s place and played poker with the three women.
Mrs. Meyer asked, “Haven’t seen Kaylee all day, where did she go? She’s graduating this year, right?”
Mrs. Kelley chuckled, “Where else could Kaylee be? Probably went to the law firm to find your nephew again. Why don’t you be the matchmaker, talk to your brother and sister-in-law, and get them a date? Then you and Skyler might become family in the future.”
Mrs. Meyer replied, “My sister-in-law loves Kaylee, of course, she’d be happy to, but Curtis is hard to say. He seems like a gentleman who’s easy-going, but he doesn’t like others controlling his decisions. I’m afraid we can’t convince him.”
Mrs. Kelley said, “Feelings can be cultivated after marriage, wasn’t it the same for us back then?”
Skyler casually said, “Kaylee is still young, there’s no need to rush this.”
Celeste sat there, listening carefully.
The last time she played poker was in college. Her dorm mate had a birthday party, and they all went to celebrate and do all the things she wanted to do for a day.
Her roommate took them to the rec room and played poker all night, that’s when she learned how to play.
After graduation, she married Liam and seldom went out for social events, let alone play poker. She had no experience now and didn’t win a single round.
Mrs. Kelley won many rounds and said cheerfully. “How about we play again some other day?”
Mrs. Meyer chimed in, “With your luck today, why not play a little longer?”
Mrs. Kelley collected her winnings and laughed, “If we keep playing, I’m afraid you guys will get mad and cry.”
