Time to Realize His

Chapter 18 Does He Really Not Care At All? 

“But…” 

Celia smirked slyly, then continued, “Although I can’t beat that scumbag, my bestie can! They are all tough girls who effortlessly deal with guys. This jerk is their masterpiece.” 

Huhuhu! I’m really sorry, Sally and Lacey. For the sake of my happiness, I have to temporarily sacrifice you all. 

At least until I successfully win back Henry, I must maintain my good–girl image, 

If there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely help you restore your image! 

“Hehehe… 

Henry chuckled softly, seeing through Celia’s little scheme with just one glance. However, he didn’t expose it, calmly driving the car towards the villa. 

The next day, a ray of morning sunlight seeped through the gap in the curtains, gently awakening the two women sleeping soundly in the warm room. 

“Ugh… 

Celia lazily stretched her arms but was surprised to find Henry lying quietly beside her. 

Perhaps because he had a bit too much to drink yesterday, Henry was sleeping particularly soundly this time. 

Celia propped her head with one hand, her sparkling eyes fixed unwaveringly on Henry. His sleeping face was quite handsome. 

Unlike when he was awake, during deep sleep, the coldness and maturity between his brows and eyes are reduced, giving off a more docile impression. 

Celia was momentarily entranced and couldn’t resist using her hand to poke Henry’s handsome face. 

But just as her fingertips were about to touch Henry’s skin, he suddenly opened his eyes, firmly grasping her index finger and looking at her with a smile that was hard to decipher. 

“Celia, what are you up to? Hmm?” 

The warmth of his palm wasn’t particularly high, but Celia felt as if the temperature had seared into her heart, causing a slight blush to colour her cheeks. 

“Ehm, chm!” 

She awkwardly cleared her throat, turned her face away unnaturally, and whispered, “I was just getting up. 

that’s all.” 

After speaking, she pulled her finger away, grabbed her clothes, and quickly darted into the bathroom. 

“Hehehe….

Watching the girl’s embarrassed yet cute figure, Henry lifted his lips in a good–natured manner. 

However, his smile froze the moment Celia emerged. 

Finished 

She was wearing a deep black V–neck gown, and her fair skin appeared even more snow white against the backdrop of the black dress. 

The gown, crafted in a style similar to a fitted skirt, highlighted her graceful waistline, giving her a more 

mature appearance. 

It can be said that this gown, paired with her, was the perfect embodiment. 

If one had to pinpoint any imperfection, perhaps it might be …not curvy enough. 

Henry’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and his deep black eyes stared at her, unblinking. 

“Celia, where are you going?” 

“Uhm… I’m attending Molly’s birthday banquet!” 

Celia smiled brightly, a mischievous glint shining in her eyes. I’ve prepared a big gift just for her!” 

She walked up to Henry, slightly bending forward, and half–enticingly asked, “Henry, do you think this gown looks good on me?” 

Henry’s eyes darkened slightly as he reached out and pulled her into his arms, frowning as he stared at the neckline of her dress. 

“It looks good, but wearing this to attend a birthday banquet might not be quite appropriate.” 

Molly is quite chaotic. How many decent people can there be at her birthday banquet? 

With Celia dressed so beautifully, if she attracts the attention of some unscrupulous individuals and gets bullied, wouldn’t that break my heart? 

So, it’s better to keep this beauty at home and let me appreciate it alone. 

“Hmm?” Celia blinked in confusion. “What’s inappropriate?” 

“It’s too revealing, I’m worried.” He smoothed the girl’s hair and spoke gently, “Be good, how about changing into another outfit?” 

“Oh… 

Celia bit her lip, pretended to be regretful, and said, “But I initially planned to wear this, to have you accompany me and publicly declare our relationship in a high–profile manner.” 

As soon as Celia finished speaking, she saw Henry quickly dressing up and said, “Actually, I think this gown is quite nice. Just wear this one.” 

Although he didn’t want others to see Celia looking so beautiful, Celia was willing to acknowledge their relationship! 

“Hibit”

Celia curled her lips. In fact, this side of Henry was quite cute. 

“Then let’s go!” 

“Okay.”

In a corner where Henry couldn’t see, Celia sem a message and left the villa while holding his hand. 

However, they had just reached the doorstep when they bumped into John coming their way. 

“Celia, you’re finally out. Let’s go to the Leifs together!” 

John seemed as if he didn’t remember what happened yesterday, looking at her gently as he spoke. 

“Hahaha!” 

Initially, she felt extremely impatient the moment she saw John. However, looking at his face, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. 

She couldn’t understand. She had already hit John’s face like that. How dare he still come to her and suggest going to the birthday banquet together? 

Even though the swelling on his face had reduced somewhat, he still looked quite ugly! 

Does he really not care about his face at all? 

Celia took a step back with a disdainful expression, holding onto Henry’s arm tightly. “Sorry, I already have a male companion.” 

“And, Mr. John, it’d be better to call me Mrs. Holton in the future. I don’t want to see my husband unhappy.” 

John suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at her with a pretended hurt expression. “Celia, do you really not like me anymore?” 

A cold look flashed in Celia’s eyes. Since there were always people rushing in to court disaster, she had to satisfy them. 

She slowly released Henry’s arm and walked towards John with graceful steps. 

Henry’s face turned cold as he watched her back, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. 

So, the words she said yesterday were just lies to deceive me. 

Seeing Celia walking towards him, John couldn’t help but look at Henry with a smug expression in his 

eyes. 

Even if Celia hit him, it didn’t necessarily mean she didn’t like him anymore, right? 

Look! He just acted pitifully in front of her, and she decisively returned to his side. 

However, right under his triumphant gaze, Celia raised her hand and gave him a hard slap across the face. 

“I said, Call me Mrs. Holton in the future. Didn’t you hear me?”

“What’s the matter? Have you been pretending to be a dog for so long that you can’t understand human language?” 

“Ouch!” 

Having not fully recovered from yesterday’s injury, John couldn’t help but inhale sharply in pain after receiving another slap. 

“Celia!” 

His good temper could no longer be maintained. Immediately, he growled angrily, glaring at Celia. 

He raised his hand to strike back, but when his eyes met the cold expression on Henry’s face behind her, he could only reluctantly lower his hand. 

“If you don’t change your irritable temper, I will hate you more and more.” 

Celia didn’t look at him again, and she turned to instruct the security guards, “If he appears here again, just beat him. I’ll take care of the medical expenses.” 

“Okay.”

“Did you let them hit me, Celia?” John looked at Celia in disbelief. At this moment, he finally realises Celia- no longer has feelings for him. 

Celia frowned and looked at the security guards, displeased. “Why are you standing there? Do I have to teach you how to hit someone?” 

“No need, no need!” The security guards hurriedly picked up their batons and hit John on the head. 

John’s eyes narrowed. He no longer cared about whether Celia liked him or not. He quickly ran away. 

“Hmph!” Celia snorted and then turned to walk towards Henry. However, she noticed his tense expression. 

She chuckled and ran up to him, blinking her watery eyes. “Henry, you don’t think I’m planning to return to him?” 

Henry pursed his lips and didn’t answer, but his gaze softened. 

“With such a handsome and wealthy husband like you, how could I be interested in trash?” 

Henry enjoyed the little girl’s flattery. He rubbed her head, hugged her, and left happily. 

Perhaps she had truly changed. 

“I would like to express my gratitude to my parents for their meticulous care over the past twenty years, my teachers for their dedicated guidance, and everyone for attending my birthday party.” 

“Tonight, we have prepared a modest feast as a token of appreciation. I hope everyone can enjoy themselves.” 

When Celia and Henry arrived, Molly had just finished her thank–you speech. 

Upon seeing Henry, her eyes lit up, but when she saw Celia by his side, a hint of jealousy was visible in her 

eyes. 

This was supposed to be her birthday party! Why did Celia have the audacity to dress so beautifully for this occasion? Why can she stand beside Henry so openly? 

She clenched her fists at her sides and walked towards Celia, trying to conceal the resentment in her eyes 

with a smile. 

“Celia, why did you just arrive? I thought you had forgotten that today is my birthday!” 

Yesterday, she had been humiliated because of Celia at school. Today, she must let Celia have a taste of this! 

Celia glanced at Henry shyly, lowered her head, and blushed. “I’m sorry, Molly. I was too tired yesterday, so I woke up late today.” 

Celia didn’t say it explicitly, but Molly understood the meaning of her words.
