Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 380

Hearing this, they both looked down at their joined hands and immediately flung them apart as if to avoid suspicion.

Cicely quickly took a few steps away from Vernon. "Why would I ever like him!"

Vernon's mouth twitched. "Celestine, you've misunderstood. How could Cicely and I possibly..."

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Are you saying I'm not only not good enough for Giddy, but now I'm not good enough for you either?!" Cicely took offense.

Vernon quickly tried to make amends. "No, no, no! You're more than good enough for me! It's me who's not good enough for you, I'm not worthy of you."

His words made both the feigning-anger Cicely and the onlooking Celestine laugh.

Celestine thought the two of them actually seemed quite compatible.

As soon as she left, Vernon immediately called Gideon.

It was too weird. He had seen Eleanor and Celestine here at the same time!

Something wasn't right!

Something was definitely strange!

Although both Eleanor and Cicely liked their young master, Eleanor was in a completely different league from the sweet but clueless Cicely.

Abroad, rivals targeted by Eleanor wouldn't even know how they died.

Cicely had only survived this long by being utterly brainless.

Just moments ago, the two of them were pressed together because they were so shocked to see Eleanor emerge from the coffee shop!

"Quick, call Giddy! That terrifying woman is back in the country! Tell him to hide!" Cicely urged, her voice frantic.

Clearly, she also saw Eleanor as a terrifying force of nature.

Years ago, before she knew who Eleanor was, she had been tricked into being her friend.
