Chapter 189
When Celeste arrived at Millbrook Airport, it was already after 8 pm and she was exhausted. She had just returned from a one month away top exclusive program at Bridgerton, when she had been getting her newest degree under her false alias, Lya Smith.
Not just that, it also happened to be her birthday then; both her real birthday and her fake alias, so she got a lot of messages and birthday wishes from her colleagues and friends when she turned on her phone, However, there was nothing from her husband and kids at all.
Her smile faded.
By the time, she had almost reached the villa, it was already past 10 pm. The house keeper Hannah Sanders was startled when she opened the door and saw her.
“Mrs Kingston…..you are here?” it was more of a confused statement than a greeting as she immediately bowed her head and greeted properly.
Celeste nodded her head and stepped inside the mansion, seeing the room seemed to have a little bit of renovation since she was gone.
‘Where is my husband and the kids?” Celeste asked.
“They are out with Miss Amber, ma. Today was her birthday and she insisted that they come to celebrate with her, and she had been staying here for a month now as well.”
Celeste’s eyes shot up at that. A month? Odette and Prince hadn’t mentioned that at all to her, but then again, they were always much closer to Amber and their dad than they were to her.
“I see…. prepare the guest room for me then.” celeste said no skipping a beat as it was Hannah’s turn for her brows to rise.
“Ma….why? Your room with the Master is still there and has remained untouched since you left. Miss Amber is in the guest room.” she explained as Celeste was stunned by this.
She had been gone a month, Lucian had a whole month with his first love, and he had not moved her into their room, this was odd behaviour. She refused to think much about it and said instead.
“Alright i’ll drop my bag inside and get some things then leave. Do not tell Lucian that i am back.” she said as she made her way to the stairs, leaving Hannah confused, but soon bowed and returned back to her station.
Celeste opened the door and switched on the light, only to see that the place seemed to have just her things and Lucian, not even a bra that wasn’t hers was spotted, and the room was used frequently, she could see the towel, Lucian always used when he bath, lying on her vanity table, his worn and discarded pajamas on thr floor, and some scattered documents on the table.
She dropped her things, putting them away and moving out of the room, when to her children’s rooms,
Odette and Prince, only to see the same similar mess in their rooms. Not only did they look like Lucian, they also took all his bad habits as well and none of hers. She didn’t want to arrange, because she didn’t want to leave any signs that she was back, because aside from the general state of the house, all maids and cleaners, were forbidden from cleaning the rooms of the couple or the children, it was off limits, only the family members had the right to clean, or the owners of the room.


“Mrs Kingston…. I don’t know if this is acceptable but I bought this for you, but I didn’t know you would come back today, please accept this.” Hannah said as she handed Celeste a box tied with a ribbon on top.
“Oh Hannah, you shouldn’t have.” Celeste said as she accepted the box from her as Hannah wrung her hands together and said.
