Chapter 64

“You’re coming with me? That’s great!” Celena exclaimed gleefully, but all of a sudden, somethingoccurred to her. Her expression

changed from that of joy to worry.

Liam noticed this and could not help asking, “What’s wrong?”

“Um… I’m really excited about the idea of us attending Grandpa’s birthday party together. Still, I’mjust wondering… how Grandpa would react if he saw us together, considering that this was why hebanished me in the first place…” Celena trailed off, her brows furrowed in a concerned look.

Liam stroked her hair and smiled. “Don’t worry about it! I didn’t want you to go alone because you’restill recovering from your injuries, so all I wanted was to be able to take care of you while you werethere.

Celena realized he was right. She nodded. “Alright! I feel much safer with you around!”

With that, she covered herself with the blanket so that Liam would not be able to see her blush. Shefelt as though her cheeks were on fire. novelbin

Even though Liam had tried his best to reassure her, Celena was still a little worried about herfamily’s reaction. Her family had never met anyone she was involved with before, not to mention thiswas her first time being invited to a family event in seven years!

Seven years ago, she had been banished from her family and attained a reputation as apromiscuous woman because of Liam. Not only that, but the Stone family had become thelaughingstock of the town when everyone found out about their affair. Liam was also the reason.she had gotten pregnant and been forced to live in shame and humiliation.

The weight of her past had made Celena feel suffocated, and she still harbored some hatred towardLiam because of this. Sometimes, she would regret saving Liam, but this dangerous thought wouldnot linger for long. There would always be another voice in her mind that told her Liam wasinnocent; Cheryl had framed him, and all three of them, including Jovie, were victims of her deceit!

This was Celena’s true nature. No matter what happened, she would always be looking out for otherpeople and often forgot to show herself the same kindness and grace.

Liam stayed in Celena’s room for a while until she finally drifted off to sleep. Then, he went intoJovie’s room. Jovie was, at that moment, staring out the window with her chin propped in her littlehands, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her skin.

However, her eyes were still wrapped with a thick layer of bandage.

Jovie had not regained her vision yet, even though she had undergone surgery twice.

Liam felt his heart break as he gazed at the little girl in her princess dress, sitting longingly by thewindow but could not take in the view.

“Jovie, it’s Dad!” Liam announced, then strode over to her side.

“Hi, Dad! I’m so glad you’re here to see me! I missed you so much!” Jovie turned around andreached out to feel Liam. Then, she finally wrapped her tiny arms around his neck, grinning from earto ear.

Liam picked her up and gently pinched her cheek. “Jovie, your mother and I are going to attendGreat-Grandpa’s birthday party tomorrow. Do you want to come?”

Jovie’s smile disappeared from her face. Instead, she pouted and replied reluctantly, “I don’t wantto! Can Mom not go too? That old man is a bad person! He’s always scolding Mom, and l’even sawhim

hit her before! He hit her so hard that she bled from her lip!”

With that, she even pointed to her own lip as though to demonstrate to Liam what had happened.
