My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 139

Seeing it was Shawn, she didn't want to answer.

Shawn usually didn't have any good news when he called her.

However, Shawn wasn't going to give up easily. If she didn't pick up, he would just keep calling.

Celeste had no choice but to answer. "Hello, Dad."

"Letti, what's going on? Why did it take you so long to answer?" Shawn asked.

Celeste replied, "I was in the bathroom just now, it wasn't convenient to answer. What's up, Dad?"

"Nothing much, are you with Liam?" Shawn asked.

"He's at work. If you need to talk to him, please call his office." Celeste said.

"I'm not looking for him, just have a question for you." Shawn said.

What could Shawn had to ask her?

"Letti, are you close to Mr. Francis?" Shawn asked.

"Not really." Celeste answered almost without hesitation.

This wasn't a lie, as she really wasn't very close to Nicolas. Strictly speaking, she didn't know much about all of Liam's friends.

Liam rarely took her to friends' gatherings, perhaps he had anticipated that their marriage wouldn't last long, so he didn't bother to involve her.

Why did Shawn mention Nicolas?

She soon found out the answer.

Shawn said, "I heard from Angel that she and her friend went to a jewelry store yesterday to buy some jewelry and ran into you."

Shawn breathed a sigh of relief, "With Mr. Francis and Liam being so close, how could he not help out?"

With the serious talk over, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. Shawn tried to make small talk, "How's your mom doing lately?"

"She's been the same." Celeste paused, "The doctor still suggests that we talk about the past to stimulate her. If you have time, you could go and chat with her more. You used to be the person she cared about the most."

Shawn said nonchalantly, "I've been really busy lately and haven't had the chance to visit. In a few days, when I can take a break, I'll go to the hospital to see her."

Celeste had heard this kind of talk from him before. The last time he visited the hospital was a year ago, and that was only because her grandfather's friend came to visit, and he wanted to put on a show.

Shawn was such a cold-hearted and ruthless person. How could her discerning grandfather have agreed to let his daughter marry someone like him?

After hanging up the phone, Celeste immediately called Nicolas.

Nicolas was in the middle of a boring meeting at the time. When he saw the incoming call, he was first taken aback and then perked up. He got up, picked up his phone, and said seriously, "You guys continue, I need to take a client call."
