Chapter 133

Celeste was accompanied by a man who appeared to be in his 40s. The man had a sturdy build, but there was an unmistakable air of weakness about him. It was hard to tell whether his health had always been poor or if someone had drained him out. "Yarrick, Natalie…" Celeste immediately approached them with the frail, middle-aged man. "Hello." Yarrick gave a brief nod, treating her like just another acquaintance passing by. "Ms. Parker…" Natalie's tone toward Celeste was neutral, even tinged with a hint of dislike. "Natalie, long time no see! You're on summer break, right?" Seeing Natalie still holding onto Yarrick's arm, Celeste couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly. She had previously treated Natalie with such kindness, but Natalie had always seemed indifferent to her. All Celeste had wanted back then was for Natalie to call her Mom, yet that request became such a big issue. Now, the moment Yarrick entered the picture with Hailey, Natalie was suddenly all friendly with him.
