Chapter 206
Gavin drowned on the very day of Simon’s big wedding.
She and Liam attended the wedding that day but didn’t see Gavin.
Since it was a beach wedding, it was a bit far from downtown. To make it easier for the guests, the Rowley family booked many rooms for them at a nearby beach hotel.
However, right after the wedding, they received a call from home saying that grandma had taken a fall. So, they didn’t stay there overnight and hurried back to the city.
The drowning incident happened just on the night they left.
There were many speculations about what happened that night, but the Rowley family never gave a definite explanation except that it was an accident.
The guests staying at the hotel that night were completely clueless. By the time they found out, Gavin had been rushed to the hospital and soon declared
dead
No one knew what kind of emotional rollercoaster the Rowley family went through as their wedding turned into a funeral.
But one thing was certain, Gavin’s funeral was very low-key, and there was very little media coverage of the incident.
People in J City sighed when they mentioned Gavin, thinking that if it was retribution, it was too light. However, Celeste genuinely felt it was a pity.
The gratitude was still in her heart, which was why she easily had a good impression of Simon, who looked just like Gavin.
That’s how it happened If it weren’t for Gavin stepping in that night, I might have spent my wedding night in a hospital, Celeste said calmly. 7 didn’t get a chance to repay him before he died. Now that Simon is asking for my help, I can’t refuse.”
Liam looked at Celeste with a complex expression, and after a moment, he asked, “Why haven’t you ever mentioned any of this to me before?”
Celeste smiled and looked up at him, “Liam, when you left me alone at the wedding, didn’t you think something might happen to me?”
Liam pursed his lips, swallowed hard, and said after a moment of silence, “I had an emergency that day
Celeste lowered her head, “You always have some emergency to deal with.”
It didn’t mater if it was their wedding or her mother’s critical illness, or if she needed a family member’s signature at the hospital. Sydney’s call always meant that she was not to be his top priority. She has gotten used to it and didn’t say anything anymore.
Liam remained silent for a long time.
Although she was trying to deceive Liam by not letting him find out the real reason she wanted to accept the role, when she actually uncovered the scars, It still troubled her
“Anyway, I’ve already agreed to help. If you think it would make the Reed family lose dignity, let’s get the paperwork done first. When your family asks about it, I won’t be considered a Reed family member anymore, and it won’t affect you”
Liam glared at Celeste unhappily, “Fine, just do it! I’m already used to being humiliated by you!”
Celeste was about to make Liam explain to her how she had ever made him lose dignity when suddenly, the lights dimmed in the exhibition hall.
