Celia POV Emilie looked around and asked, "Cordell, Carolyn, where did Leon go?" Carolyn said, "It's too noisy here. He just went out to answer the phone." Emilie's eyes peered out the window, looking for Leon. I, on the other hand, sat back down indifferently and continued to eat my fried chicken. After a while, Leon still hadn't returned. Carolyn decided it was too hot in the store and suggested that we all go out. Everyone was about to leave when Emilie got up to put on her jacket, reached into her pocket, and said, "Where is my wristwatch?" Carolyn searched the table and looked under it. "It's not on the table or on the floor. Emilie, could it be that you didn't bring it out today at all?" Emilie shook her head firmly. "No! I'm pretty sure I brought it. I just took it off and put it in my jacket pocket. It would be fine if I lost something else, but that watch is very important to me! It was the last birthday present my grandfather gave me before he died!" I narrowed my
Celia POV "The house is full of old things, nothing valuable. You can tell me what you want when the time comes, and I'll have someone buy you new ones." I sighed, "I just want to hurry up and finish these three months. I don't want to get into too much trouble." Leon narrowed his eyes a little in displeasure. My cell phone collection suddenly arrived with a text message. I picked up my phone. It was from an unfamiliar number. "If you don't want your relationship with Alpha Leon to be exposed, come meet me at the Star Cafe tomorrow at 3pm!" The text message was a picture of me and Leon sitting opposite each other in a fried chicken restaurant. It was a sneak peek from the window of the fried chicken restaurant. I frowned. Who was it? The next day, at three in the afternoon, I arrived at the Star Cafe. It was a simple and elegant cafe that was quiet inside. There was only a man and woman in the store, and a man with glasses staring at a laptop that was busy. I picked a se
Celia POV I blinked. "Is it too late for me to agree to go with you?" Easton was surprised. He smiled as he replied, "Of course. Why did you suddenly change your mind though?" "It occurred to me that I have nothing to do back home, so why don't I go with you?" "Okay, let's go then." I followed Easton out of the café and into his car. Easton's car set off and soon arrived in front of a very artsy building. Easton casually handed the car keys to the valet to park the car, and then took me with him into his gallery. ... Inside the gallery. I looked at the yellow diamond necklace and was in a trance. "You don't seem to have much interest in any of those jewels, yet you're obsessed with this necklace from Crescent." Easton's gentle voice came from behind me. He continued, "I've had the honor of meeting Crescent." My pupils quivered, and I looked straight at Easton. "You've met Crescent? When?" Easton nodded. "I had the honor of meeting her once when I was little. My father a
Celia POV I went to the restroom and washed my face, then braced myself and headed out the door. "Alpha Leon, I'm fine. We can go now." Leon caught up with me and scooped me up in a cross body hug. I jumped in shock. "Alpha Leon, what are you doing?" "I'm taking you to the hospital." "I..." Leon looked at me with downcast eyes. "Be good. Until we dissolve our relationship, your health and I have a stake in it." I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. Easton arrived with a middle-aged man carrying a medicine cabinet. "Leon, my personal physician has arrived. Why don't you let him take a look at Celia first?" "No need to bother." Leon hugged me and stepped around Easton. Calvin blocked Easton. "Alpha Easton, my Luna's business is out of your hands. My Alpha has asked me to call our personal doctor. He's outside right now." ... Back at Black Mist's villa, the doctor quickly attended to me and prescribed some medication. The doctor said that my abdominal pain was caused
Celia POV Early the next morning. Leon stayed home for breakfast. At the dinner table, Jazlene offered to let Leon feed me. I refused, but Jazlene insisted. I thought Leon would never agree. But Leon just smiled, and then he actually cut the omelet on the plate into small pieces and fed it to my mouth. In front of Jazlene, I had to open my mouth and eat it, and keep smiling. Suddenly, my phone rang. I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to my room with my cell phone. It was the principal of Westwood University calling. He and I hadn't seen each other for a long time. The principal exchanged pleasantries with me before cutting to the chase. "Celia, next Monday is the graduation ceremony for your class. You, as the school's exceptional graduate, will be bringing your parents along for the graduation ceremony. We'd like both you and your parents to come up and give a speech and share your experience properly." I politely declined, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arden. I don't have any
Leon POV Perla said with a sympathetic look on her face, "I heard from my classmates that you were an illegitimate daughter who was thrown to the countryside by your family to be raised, and only got into the city by your own motivated study! "You were thrown into the countryside at such a young age, and you must have suffered a lot, right? You're pathetic! No wonder you work so hard. Because no one cares about you. You can only rely on yourself! "Luckily, I don't have to work as hard as you do. My mom and dad spoil me. They'll satisfy me with whatever I want." I smiled, "Really? It's enviable." Hearing the host call my name, I ignored Perla and walked around Perla and onto the stage. There were whispers from the stage. "Celia is better looking than Perla!" "She's still an illegitimate child. Didn't you guys notice? She's the only one here today, and no parent wants to accompany her!" "I heard that her father gave birth to her with his mistress!" Before I could finish my grad
Leon POV Black Mist pack. Tamia came home in the evening. As soon as I entered the house, I was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper. "Leon, why are you back so early today?" I looked at her with a faint sideways glance and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you the only one back? Where's Celia?" Tamia said, "Oh, Celia ran into an old friend at the mall and said she wanted to go catch up with him, so she let me come back alone first." I narrowed my eyes. "An old friend?" "Yeah!" Tamia nodded and said, "That friend of Celia's is a guy who looks like he knows Celia pretty well. I don't know what their relationship is!" I frowned, picked up the coffee on the coffee table, and took a deep sip. Old friend? Catch up? At that moment, Calvin suddenly walked in quickly. "Alpha Leon, something's wrong!" "What is it?" I didn't change my face and sipped my coffee lightly. Calvin walked up to me and said, "There's a scandal in the group's hotel, and the social impact
Celia POV Everyone froze. I slowly walked down the stairs and rubbed my eyes. Leon was slightly shocked at the sight of me. Jazlene sat up straight all of a sudden, eyes full of surprise. "Celia... So you've been home all this time?" I nodded. "Yes, Grandma. Where else could I go?" Tamia's face was awkward. "Why are you at home? Didn't you get..." I yawned. "Where else do you think I should be right now?" Tamia screamed, "How could you escape from the police station? You're a criminal! Did you have to drag us down with you?" I cocked my head in confusion. "The police station? Why would I be at the police station?" Tamia snorted coldly, "Don't pretend! The scandalous things you've done out there are all over the social news. We already know all about it! Just now, the police station even called us! You can't hide it anymore! Just admit it!" "Scandalous things?" I showed a few surprised faces and walked to the landline without panicking. "I don't know what you're talking about
