Chapter 156
“Nope, not at all,” Celeste said insincerely. “Why would I be mad at you? That would make me seem petty, right? Mr. Reed, you got it all wrong.”
Liam frowned, “Don’t call me Mr. Reed! It makes me feel uncomfortable.”
Celeste kept calling him Mr. Reed, which sounded like mockery to Liam and made him unhappy.
“So what should I call you?” Celeste seemed to think seriously for a moment, then said, “Why don’t you pick one?”
Liam glared at this pretentious woman, feeling very annoyed. “What did you call me before?”
Celeste paused for a moment.
She used to call him “darling.”
Ever since the first time she called Liam darling, he never refused, so she kept calling him that both in public and private.
When did she stop calling him that?
She couldn’t remember, probably after realizing that no matter how hard she tried, Liam would never like her.
“It’s just a form of address. If Mr. Reed likes the previous one, I’ll just continue with that.”
Liam gave her a glance and said indifferently, “Stick to the old one.”
Celeste…
She wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Liam, but he didn’t act as expected.
Seeing that she didn’t speak for a while, Liam looked up at her, “Well?”
Celeste pursed her lips.
“Mr. Reed, given our current relationship, isn’t it inappropriate for me to address you like that?”
It seemed that Liam was waiting for her to say that, and he immediately used her previous words to question her, “It’s just a form of address, I like the previous one, there’s nothing inappropriate about it.”
Damn it!
Of course, she didn’t want to admit defeat, so she teased him, “Mr. Reed is really weird. When I used to call you that, you were very annoyed, but now that we’re getting divorced, you insist on me address you like that. Do you think forcing things is better?”
Liam looked at her indifferently, “I don’t know if it’s better or not, why don’t you try calling me that?”
She suddenly felt like she was being flirted with, but Liam’s expression was very serious, so she thought she might have misunderstood. Blushing, she said unhappily. “Boring”
Then she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car first.
Liam stared at her back for a few seconds before leisurely getting out of the car.
As they entered the venue, an attendant handed Celeste a rose, which was a unique token for women at this party tonight.
If a girl met a boy she liked, she can give the rose to him. If the boy accepted it, it meant he also had feelings for the girl.
Similarly, if a boy had feelings for a girl, he can directly ask if she can give him the rose. If the girl agreed, it meant they both have feelings for each other.
This was the first time Celeste had seen such a party, and she thought it was interesting.
When she was in school, many people would attend parties, but some actually planned to confess their feelings in the process. If the two people liked each other, it was fine, but if one party wasn’t interested, confessing in public felt a bit forced.
Girls often have limited initiative and may even be subject to being scrutinized and judged by some men
The bar was large, and it took Celeste a while to spot Nicolas sitting at the bar, flirting with a girl with a great figure.
