Chapter 14

Every time they argued, she either stayed in a hotel or went to her best friend’s place. He had just canceled her room card, so she could only go to Trisha’s, right?

Sure enough, as Celeste left the apartment complex, Liam’s Mercedes was parked by the side of the road.

She hesitated, wanting to go to the passenger seat, but Owen had already got out of the car and opened the back seat door

for her.

Liam sat on the other side of the back seat, looking at his phone.

She didn’t want to sit with Liam and wanted Owen to open the passenger door for her, but before she could speak, Owen urged. “Get in the car, ma’am. We can’t park here, traffic police are coming.”

Celeste had no choice but to get in.

The car started quickly, and both of them were silent, making the atmosphere in the car eerily quiet.

Owen had been with Liam for many years and knew how to read the expressions. It was already strange to pick up Ms. Campbell, and the atmosphere in the car was even stranger.

They must have had a fight.

He looked at Liam, then at Celeste, cleared his throat to try to ease the atmosphere, and started a conversation, “Ma’am, do you remember the aroma stone you gave me last year? I gave it to my mom, and she loved it. She puts it by her bed every day, says her sleep has improved. When I went home a few days ago, she asked me for a new one, saying the old one’s scent had faded and wasn’t as good as before. Where did you buy that aroma stone? I want to buy her another one.”

Celeste smiled gently and said, “I made that essential oil myself. I found a craftsman online to help polish it, so I don’t think it’s available for sale.”

Owen was surprised, “You made it yourself? Do you know how to blend fragrances?”

Liam stopped and looked at Celeste curiously.

Celeste shook her head, “I’m not a professional. It’s just a hobby. I usually try making some myself. The essential oil Auntie uses has very common ingredients. I’ll send you the recipe and amounts later, and you can mix it yourself at a fragrance. store.”

“Thanks so much for that.” Owen said.

“No trouble at all.” Celeste started sending the fragrance formula through her phone.

Her skin was smooth, her fingers slender, and her clean nails were painted a delicate pink. Her makeup seemed different from before, not much overall change but it made her look unique..

Absolutely enchanting.
