Chapter 1082
Bella slowly took a sip of water. “Can you bring Aunt Celeste to the horse - racing event too?"
Wyatt was stunned, totally not expecting Bella to make this request.
“Bella, I don’t go because I don’t like this kind of event. I feel uncomfortable when I’m in a crowded place. I don’t know how to speak and don’t understand social etiquette. Mila is the most suitable choice, or Sasha could go!” Celeste quickly tried to explain, her face turning red.
“The shopping malls are crowded too, but aren’t you quite happy there?” Bella exposed her.
“1...” Celeste’s lips turned pale.
“Wyatt, let Celeste go. I can’t be the one every year, or the media might start making up stories.” Mila seemed to sense Bella’s intentions and echoed her words.
Wyatt’s handsome brows furrowed, and he stared at Celeste beside him, asking softly, “Celeste, are you unhappy?"
Celeste shook her head.
Wyatt held her slightly shaking hand under the table, caressing it gently in his palm. “You’re always unwilling to attend public events. I thought you disliked it, so I didn’t want to pressure you. You can tell me any thoughts you have, and I will do my best to satisfy you."
“Wyatt, I really don’t.” Tears shone in Celeste’s eyes, almost falling.
Seeing Celeste so helpless and flustered, Wyatt felt upset.
After so many years, he thought he had healed Celeste’s inner wounds and led her out of the shadows.
However, deep within Celeste’s heart, the shadows of her youth still haunted her. She merely pretended to be normal to put him at ease.
In the end, Wyatt decided to take Celeste, ordering Quentin to prepare an outfit that matched her personality overnight.
To this point, everything was under Bella’s control.
“Bella.” After the dinner, Celeste caught up to Bella, asking hesitantly, “
Why do you insist on me attending this year?"
