My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 144

Kendrick was a few years older than Liam, already married, and had a daughter in kindergarten.

Celeste initially got into voice acting for anime because of Kendrick's introduction. They had worked together many times, and Kendrick even taught her some pronunciation techniques.

In Celeste's heart, he was like an older brother or a mentor to her.

Celeste didn't have much to do, so she finished it all before noon.

Kendrick was very satisfied with the final product, and when they left the recording studio, he called out to Celeste, "Hold on. My wife already booked a table at Culinary Crest. You can ride with me, and we'll have lunch together."

"No it’s fine. I live nearby, so I'll just go home and eat." Celeste said.

As Celeste tried to leave, Kendrick grabbed her wrist and stared at her, "Why is it so hard to have a meal with you? Can I sell you or something?"

"Kendrick, I didn't mean it like that..." Celeste said.

"Then just come! Otherwise, my wife will think there's something fishy between us so you're too afraid to come to dinner." Kendrick said.

Celeste said, "Alright."

But deep down, she knew it wasn't like what Kendrick said.

Kendrick's wife was a history teacher. Celeste had met her before, and she had a great demeanor and was well-spoken. Kendrick was completely smitten with her, so how could he possibly have an affair with a coworker?

The real reason was that one of the main female characters in the anime was originally meant for Celeste to voice. Kendrick had even mentioned it to her beforehand, and she had agreed. But not long after, another partner recommended his girlfriend, who was also a somewhat famous voice actress.

He loved his job but didn't want it to affect his life.

For this, Celeste really admired him.

It was rare for a man to be so family-oriented after achieving success in his career.

In the early afternoon, there were still many customers in the restaurant. Kendrick's wife had come early and waited in line for a long time. When Celeste and Kendrick arrived, she had just sat down not long ago. She waved at them from a distance.

"Letti, over here." Kendrick’s wife shouted out.

Celeste squinted her eyes and smiled as she walked over, "Long time no see. You're looking more and more beautiful."
