Even before Hogan suggested it, Amara had already planned to see Celeste.
She'd always been curious about the incident where Celeste supposedly set her up with Hogan. Deep down, she doubted Celeste was really behind it. After all, while Celeste might have had a reason to go after her, there was absolutely no reason to target Hogan—they had a good relationship.
She said, "I can meet her. I’m already out. Where are you guys?"
“We’re near Galleria Lane,” Hogan replied. “You pick the place and we’ll come find you.”
Amara wasn’t far from Galleria Lane herself. She thought for a moment, recalling the dessert shop she often visited there—and was suddenly craving something sweet. She gave them the address and then took a cab to meet up with Hogan and Celeste.
Soon, Amara arrived at the dessert shop and met up with Hogan and Celeste outside.
Amara froze for a moment when she saw Celeste.
Celeste looked much thinner than the last time they met—she must’ve lost about ten pounds—and her complexion was pale, giving her a rather haggard look. What had happened to her? Had things not gone well overseas?
When Celeste saw Amara, she also looked her up and down.
Was it just her imagination, or did Amara look even more beautiful than before, with a healthy glow?
Celeste’s gaze lingered for a moment on Amara’s stomach. Amara was wearing a slightly fitted dress today, and her pregnancy was obvious.
Celeste’s eyes stayed on Amara’s belly for several seconds.
So this was Finnian’s child? The idea struck her as strange; she glanced again before saying, “Let’s go in. I’ve heard good things about the cake here and I’m actually pretty hungry. Let’s eat first.”
