Chapter 199
“You have a crush on her friend, Celeste, right?”
Jerome scoffed. “But she’s already married.”
Connor wasn’t angry when Jerome pointed out his thoughts, but he was a little frustrated. “She’s still young. Why did she rush into marriage?”
He then hurriedly added, “Mikayla doesn’t count. She married you because she loved you.”
Jerome sneered. “Celeste’s husband is a chief surgeon of a top–tier hospital, which means she likes a successful and stable man. Even if she’s single, she won’t be interested in you.”
Connor was rendered speechless by Jerome’s vengeance.
Birds of the same feather did flock together. Jerome and Mikayla were the same. He
received a double blow.
Celeste came to the hospital in the morning, carrying the soup she had prepared for
Mikayla.
“You scared me to death, Kay! How dare you block such a big wine bottle!”
As soon as she saw Mikayla, Celeste complained, “How could you claim you had no feelings for Jerome with such reckless behavior? Are you trying to fool me?”
Mikayla sighed. Perhaps Celeste wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts. Anyone who knew what had happened would never believe her again.
She could only blame herself for being stupid, or she wouldn’t be in trouble.
“Please spare the injured. I already know I was wrong,” she pleaded.
Celeste pinched her cheek. “You don’t want Jerome to get hurt regardless of your safety, which means he’s still important in your heart. Honestly, you shouldn’t always think about divorce.
“Jerome is flawless in appearance and the famous CEO of Miller Group. He’s

handsome and wealthy. Also, he looked cool when he beat people up last night. I can see he’s quite nervous about you. Why don’t you two just live like this?”
“I didn’t realize you had the potential to be a lobbyist.” Mikayla rolled her eyes at
Celeste.
“I only know how deep your feelings are for Jerome. I don’t want you to regret it.. He may have some flaws, but no one is perfect. Everything will be alright as long as he’s willing to change for you.”
From Celeste’s perspective, she was right.
The man Mikayla loved finally paid attention to her. He even promised that he would try his best to change for her. It was fine if they continued to live in such a
situation.
“But I don’t want to,” Mikayla said, “I would rather have no love than his sympathy.
Celeste was still puzzled. “Didn’t you say earlier that as long as you stay by Jerome’s side, he’ll realize your excellence and fall in love with you? Why are you backing down when he finally realizes it?”
Mikayla couldn’t talk about her previous life. It was natural for Celeste not to
understand her.
So, she changed the subject. “Let’s not talk about it. I’m hungry. I want to eat something.”
Celeste glanced at her but said nothing more.
After eating, a doctor came to check on Mikayla and said he would give her another check–up later. If there were no other problems, she could get discharged from the hospital.
She was naturally happy to hear that. Soon, she planned to stroll with Celeste in the small garden outside.
While walking in the corridor, they ran into several doctors. The leader was a man wearing rimless glasses with a cold temperament.
That was Celeste’s husband, Nolan Chance.

the corridor.
Mikayla was unfamiliar with Nolan. She had only met him twice and never talked or
had a meal with him.
Her understanding of him all came from Celeste.
She had no idea how to greet him, so she nudged Celeste. “Celeste, are you not going to greet your husband?”
