My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 179

The next morning, Celeste was woken up by the ringing of a phone.

Eyes still closed, she tried to find it on the bedside table. After searching for a while, she remembered her phone was with Liam, so she nudged him and mumbled, "Answer the phone."

Liam frowned, grabbed the phone, and saw the caller ID— 50 million?

Who was this?

He glanced at the woman next to him, who was pretending to still be asleep, and picked up the call.

"Hello."

Once the call was connected, a familiar voice came through.

It turned out to be Mason.

Liam pursed his lips, not saying a word.

Hearing no response, Mason hesitated for a moment before calling out, "Liam?"

Liam finally uttered a quick "yes."

Mason said, "Your phone couldn't be reached, why?"

"Ran out of battery." Liam paused, "Were you looking for Celeste?"

Mason chuckled, "No, I was looking for you. Just couldn't get through and thought I'd try Celeste's."

Celeste...

Savoring the name, Liam's lips twitched slightly.

"What's up?"

Mason's voice was gentle, "I've been busy lately. I heard from Kaylee this morning that you got hurt, and after asking Nicolas about it, I wanted to check on you. Are you feeling better?"

Liam pinched the bridge of his nose, "It's nothing."

"Had the person taken care of? Do you need any help?"

With Mason's abilities, he could ensure that the person gets the heaviest sentence.

"If I need it, I'll contact you."

Just as Liam finished speaking, Celeste groggily opened her eyes and said, "Who is it? Talking for so long?"

Back in the day, Celeste would've been all over that. Picking out some nice jade and sparkly jewels was right up her alley, but now that she and Liam were getting a divorce, those pricey gems weren't exactly pocket change for her anymore. Even if she went to look, she wouldn't be able to afford it and it'd just bum her out.

So she replied, "Nah, better not. My hubby hurt his arm and I gotta stay home and take care of him."

At that, Liam's eyes flickered.

Wait, who said his injury wasn't serious just now?

Mason didn't push it either. "Alright, then. You take care of Liam and I'll swing by once I'm done with all this work."

After hanging up, she turned to see an awkward expression on Liam's face.

Celeste cringed at the memory of last night.

She really shouldn't have had that half bottle of wine. With Liam's tempting, she couldn't resist and not only that, when he said his hands were tied (literally) and asked her to take the lead, she actually went for it!

Thinking back on it made her feel awful.

All she wanted to do now was erase all those unspeakable things from last night out of both their minds!

"Why did Mason was called $50 million, by the way?"
