He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 87

“Celeste, I’m sorry. Please, just give me one more chance. I know I was wrong!”

Desmond grabbed his hair in agony. It was only now that he realized his love for Celeste ran bone–deep.

And his feelings for Stella? They were nothing more than an obsession.

He could never get over the fact that she had abandoned him time and again. He wanted to make her regret her choices, to keep her by his side forever like a to he could play with.

He hadn’t been lying to Celeste. The only person he had ever wanted to marry was her.

So why didn’t she believe him?

How could she have been so cruel as to just leave him?

His vision blurred as blood and tears mixed together, but Celeste’s face remained crystal clear, as if it had been branded into his mind.

He sat there, stunned, in the middle of the living room, letting guilt and regret consume him.

‘Celeste, I know you hate me. It was my fault. I never should have been kind to another woman.”

‘Please come back. Please, just give me one more chance. I can’t live without you.”

Desmond repeated his apologies over and over, from noon until late into the night, until his voice was raw and hoarse.

He was met with a dead, suffocating silence.

He ordered his assistant to find out where Celeste had gone, but was told that Grandpa had forbidden any investigation.

He tried to go out and look for her himself, but was stopped by the security guards at the door. He tried to rush past them several times, but was mercilessly Iragged back into the living room each time.

Enraged, Desmond completely destroyed the living room, even grabbing one of the bodyguards and beating him to the ground, trying to threaten Grandfather nto letting him go find Celeste.

‘Celeste doesn’t ask for much. Her only request is that you never bother her again for the rest of your life.”

Every time Desmond’s rampage got out of control, Grandpa would repeat those same words.

Desmond was on the verge of losing his mind.

He started drinking to drown his sorrows, opening all his finest liquors, taking a single sip before smashing the bottle against the wall.

For three whole days.

Just when he felt like he was about to completely break, a familiar, petite figure appeared at the door of the mansion

Desmond’s eyes shot open. He scrambled up from the floor and stumbled toward the door.

“Desmond, what happened to you? Stella woke up and couldn’t find you, and she’s been crying her eyes out. I tried calling you, but you didn’t answer. Come on, let’s go to the hospital and see her.” Mia said, startled by Desmond’s appearance the second she walked in.

When Desmond saw who it was, the light in his eyes instantly died. He swayed back to the sofa, grabbed another bottle of liquor, and started chugging.

“Hey, stop drinking! What the hell is wrong with you?” Mia snatched the bottle from his hand and threw it to the ground.

Chapter 11

Desmond said nothing, just grabbed another bottle, twisted it open, and took a large swig.

The burning liquor did nothing to extinguish the pain in his chest, it only made him choke until tears streamed down his face.

‘Don’t tell me you’re this broken up because Celeste left.” Mia said, looking at him in disbelief.

His eyebrow twitched. He spoke, his voice hoarse, “She’s my wife. Shouldn’t I be upset that she’s gone?”

‘Are you kidding me? Anyone with eyes can see you don’t love her. You’re drinking yourself into a stupor over her? I’d sooner believe that pigs can fly,” Mia coffed. “Now, if you were doing this over Stella, that might actually be believable.”

Desmond froze. Was his preference that obvious? Celeste must have been absolutely heartbroken.

Come on, let’s just go to the hospital and see Stella. If you don’t go soon, she’s going to cry herself to death.” Mia said, pulling and dragging Desmond off the

This time, Desmond didn’t resist.

He had to get out of this place first if he was going to find an opportunity to look for Celeste..

tella lay in her hospital bed, extremely anxious.

Desmond still hadn’t come to see her, and Mia was taking forever to get back. The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became. She pulled out her

hone and sent Mia a voice message.

Mia, did you find Desmond? Why hasn’t he come to see me yet? That bitch Celeste is finally gone, so there’s nothing stopping Desmond and me from being ogether now.”

Mia, what are you doing? Why aren’t you answering me? When is Desmond coming?”

That bitch Celeste hasn’t caused some other kind of trouble, has she? I still can’t believe how shameless she was, knowing that I slept with Desmond and still efusing to leave. She just had to make a scene and run away on their wedding day to cause him problems. Why doesn’t she just drop dead!”

That filthy whore who’s been with a thousand men. As if she even deserves my Desmond. Hey, why don’t we hire someone to teach her a lesson? Find a few omeless guys to have their way with her!”

he more Stella thought about it, the angrier she got. She dropped all pretense, viciously cursing Celeste and trying to incite Mia into harming her
