Kietan frowned. “Not a single lead?”

“Yeah,” his friend replied. “I heard she got married pretty young, it apparently her relationship with her husband

wasn’t great.

“The Rodriguez family’s neighbors say they've never even seen the guy. It seems like her family doesn’t like him

either. They

won’t even mention him.”

After a short pause, he added, “Also, they already have a child.”

Kieran abruptly looked up, thinking he must have misheard. “What did you say?”

“It’s true. | was just as shocked when | found out. You'd never guess, just looking at her.”

Indeed.

He had worked with Celeste at YodaVision for so long and had never once heard her mention a child. Nothing

about her gave that impression either.

Seeing how stunned he was, his friend asked, “Wantto keep going?”

The implication was clear—Celeste had been married and had a child. Would Kieran still like her? If not, then

there was no point in continuing to dig into her past.

Kieran stood there silently.

He had everything going for him, yet his love life had always been a mess.

The first woman he liked ended up falling for someone else while he was still pursuing her.

And now, just as he had finally started to develop feelings for someone new, he found out she had not only been

married, but she also had a child.

Who could accept that?

His friend sighed and patted him on the shoulder. When he was just about to leave, he heard Celeste’s voice, still

engaged in

conversation with Tanner.

Kieran turned his head toward her and couldn't look away.

After a few seconds, his gaze steadied. “Tellthe rest.”

His friend, already mentally checked out and looking to flirt elsewhere, was momentarily confused. “What?”

Then he realized what Kieran meant and stared at him in shock. “Seriously? Are you for real?”

Kieran looked at him but said nothing.

His friend gaped for a while, about to say more when Kieran suddenly caught sight of Wynn approaching.

She walked over and started chatting with someone nearby.

Seeing her, Kieran hesitated.

His friend recognized Wynn too.

When she glanced over, he awkwardly raised his hand and greeted her with a polite smile, “Ms. Locket.”

Wynn nodded and looked toward Kieran.

Kieran only gave her a slight nod before turning away, deliberately facing the other direction.

Seeing this, his friend didn’t say much more to Wynn and continued, “So, should | keep going? Honestly, there's

not much else.

Wantto dig a bit deeper?”

Kieran replied, “No need.”

He was curious about who Celeste’s ex-husband was, but not so much that he needed to know at all costs.

After all, they were already divorced. Digging too deep into the past served no real purpose..

The only reason he had asked someone to look into her was to get general sense of her background—not to

investigate everything about her.

His friend shrugged. “Alright then.”

Wynn, seeing Kieran'’s response, also looked away.

When they had first arrived, Kieran had immediately looked in their direction.

To Linda, that was proof he was paying attention to Wynn. She couldn’t help but teasingly say, “Wynn, that Mr.

Gibson seems pretty interested in you, huh?”

Wynn didn’t respond.

After realizing that Celeste really was quite capable, her thoughts had quickly drifted to Kieran.

If Céleste was truly this outstanding, then it was entirely possible Kieran was genuinely drawn to her.

Celeste was beautiful to begin with, and when she talked with Tanner, her calm confidence made her even more

radiant.

Someone like that truly had the power to captivate others. But then when she looked at Kieran, she saw he was

only chatting with his friend-he wasn’t even looking at Celeste.

Now, hearing Linda say this, she smiled faintly, feeling reassured,

Just then, Beck and Miles arrived and offered apologies to the host “Sorry for being late, something cup on

the way.”

“It’s okay. We're not strangers. There's no need to apologize.”

The moment Wynn saw Beck, the smile on her face faded instantly

After Beck greeted the host, he looked straight at Celeste and walked toward her without hesitation.

In his eyes, there was only Celeste. He didn’t even seem to notice that Wynn was there.

It was Miles who saw the two women and signaled to Beck. He then looked over and gave Wynn a brief nod.

Wynn saw everything.

Linda, still clueless, was delighted to see Beck. “It's Beck! Let's go say hi-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Beck walk toward Celeste and Matthias.

She huffed, “Why is Beck going to them again? So annoying.”

It had been a while since Beck had shown up.

The moment he appeared, Kieran’s expression darkened. And when he saw Beck walk toward Celeste, he turned

and made his way over to her too.
