Chapter 474 Patricia and Erin didn't expect that Beck could so firmly and directly reject Linda right in front of them, although he had always seemed polite and respectful toward them Naturally, Patricia still hoped that Linda and Beck could end up together. She smiled and tried to ease the tension, leaving room for the situation to be salvaged "This is indeed Linda's fault. We'll talk to her properly later. Sorry for disturbing your meeting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow about I have Wynn bring Linda over another day so she can apologize to you properly-" "There's no need for that," Beck interrupted, clearly seeing through her intentions. "When it comes to matters of the heart..." He paused for a moment, glancing subtly at Celeste before continuing after half a second, "... They can't be forced. Ms. Shaw and I are not suitable for each other.
I hope you can help persuade her-not to waste her tand future over me." With those words, what was left for Patricia not to understand? She looked at Celeste, who had remained detached the entire time, calmly sipping her tea, and couldn't help but feel that Celeste was silently laughing at the Shaw family's humiliation. ---- Her smile grew a bit stiff. She forced a dry laugh and said, "You're right. I'll talk to Linda properly." "Thank you, Madam Shaw," Beck responded politely.
Linda had already fled in humiliation long ago. Once Patricia and Erin left and the door was closed again, Beck sat back down and said to Celeste, "Sorry for taking up your time. 1 Ever since he realized Linda had feelings for him, he had always made his rejection clear. But Linda had shown no sign of backing off. He had tried to find opportunities to speak to her directly, but each time, before he could say anything, she would pretend not to understand and run off.
Today, he finally had a chance to meet with Celeste one-on-one, and he didn't want to waste tdealing with Linda's . Linda's lack of restraint and willful ignorance had finally worn down his patience. 2 Because Wynn had taken Trevor from her, he knew the relationship between the Lockets and the Shaws and Celeste was delicate and strained. 1 ---- The termination of the contract between InnovaTech and YodaVision had only deepened the rift between Celeste and the Lockets and the Shaws.
Plus, Linda had always clearly disliked Celeste. 2 Under these circumstances, saying everything directly in front of Celeste was the best way to make Linda give up. With all that in mind, he decided to lay everything out. 2 Celeste smiled and said, "It's alright." Beck hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sorry, just now I-" He hadn't finished speaking but Celeste already knew what he was apologizing for. She smiled faintly and replied, "It's fine. Besides, what you said was true." She had experienced it firsthand, and she knew very well that love truly couldn't be forced. Now, she was able to accept that truth with peace of mind. 2 And perhaps Beck had sensed that, which was why he had said it so plainly That was exactly Beck's intention. ---- Still, even though she had let go of the past, hearing someone bring it up again inevitably stirred sunpleasant memories. So, he couldn't help but want to apologize.
Celeste didn't want to dwell on the past and changed the subject. Beck looked at her flawless, delicate face. His heart stirred slightly, and he wanted to say something more but remembering that she hadn't officially divorced yet, he restrained the impulse and changed the subject too. 5
