Celeste sat down on the bed, the sone that had kept her company during the months when she couldn't walk. One of her hands pressed against her chest, both her hands trembling, her whole body shaking. She didn't know what was happening, but her stomach was in knots, and everything seemed to spin around her. The man who was there was not the Peter she knew. This wasn't the man who had been so determined to win her over. This wasn't hlon.

She had been married once before and had lost the love of her life. What was happening now was just temporary, she told herself, lying to avoid the pain.
She was locked in these thoughts when she felt the mattress sink beside her, and the warmth of a hand on her back made her jump and pull her hands away from her face.

Brock, after seeing her leave, entered the stuand informed Peter that Celeste had heard his conversation. Peter ended the call and threw his phone onto the chair.

She quickly pulled away from the embrace, standing up and saying, "Peter, I don't know what's going on with you. I've been waiting for more than two months for you to chome. I haven't heard anything about you. I didn't know if you were okay or not. You worried me, and now that you're here, the first thing you do is lock yourself in your study."

Who is she? A moment ago, you were so distressed about her, so she must be someone important. Tell me, who is she?" Peter hadn't expected those questions. He didn't expect Celeste to have even heard Mary's name. He didn't know how to respond to those inquiries, so he simply stood up and walked out of the room without saying anything.
