Chapter 1170
His words, however, stirred up quite a storm in Liam. As soon as Jarred left, Liam anxiously asked, “What did you promise him?”
“I made no such promise, don’t listen to his nonsense! Celeste thought to herself, blaming Jarred. She dumped him before, so
he’s probably trying to frame her in front of Liam.
He was always like this. When a girl confessed to him in school, he said something to make her cry. The next day, her suitor
came looking for him.
Celeste witnessed their verbal duel.
“She’s your girlfriend? If she’s not your girlfriend, why is she complaining to you? You’re acting like her boyfriend, but you’re not
her boyfriend. Why are you picking a fight with me? What will you gain? Will she agree to date you? If she won’t, why are you
fighting me? If you win, you’ll get expelled. If you lose, she’ll think you’re useless
Go tell her you hurt me. See her reaction. If she’s worried about you, it means she has feelings for you. Then you can come fight
me, it doesn’t matter if you get expelled”
The suitor actually took Jarred’s advice and went to the girl. But her first reaction was to blame him for fighting and tried to
distance herself to avoid responsibility Thus, a drama unfolded in school, with Jarred as the puppet master, watching from the
sidelines
Celeste knew Jarred, but Liam didn’t. He was a bit angry. “If you didn’t promise him, why would he say that? You must be
forgetful, can’t even remember what you told me!”
The more Liam thought about it, the angrier he got. Another ex–boyfriend, who not only knew her love for mangoes but also
knew about her past that he didn’t, how could he not care? As her boyfriend, who remained a secret, he didn’t have an official
status.
Celeste sighed, trying to comfort him, “Have you ever thought, if he still had feelings for me, why didn’t he look for me in the past
eight years? I’m not missing, he just went abroad, he could’ve come back. If he really wants to see or contacts someone, there
are ways. Look at you, I blocked you, but you still found me. You care about me, so you’ll do anything to get close to me. But he
didn’t, because he doesn’t like me as much. That’s the difference between you two. I choose the person who tres to get closer to
me, not the one who makes me wait. I made no promises to him, and even if I did, they don’t count. I like you, and I only want to
be with you‘
Liam was a bit taken aback. His heart suddenly softened, helpless. He was moved by Celeste’s sweet talk. He still cared a bit
and muttered under his breath, “If you hadn’t been switched at birth, we would have grown up together! Would there even have
been an ex–boyfriend issue then?
Hearing this, Celeste just laughed She thought to herself if they really did grow up together, maybe they wouldn’t even like each
other. Liam used to be such a sharp–tongued jerk, she probably wouldn’t have asked for trouble, right?
Of course, these thoughts were better kept to herself, or else she’d have to sweet–talk him all over again.
While they were chatting. Celeste spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
