Shera sensed her hesitance and smiled.
“ALL I need from you is your support. No underhanded tactics. I truly believe that Marcus will come back to me. And if I becyour daughter-in-law, I’ll shower you with the respect and love you deserve, not to mention grandchildren.”
Finally convinced, Celeste gave a nod of agreement. After all, Millie had never shown her much affection and still hadn’t provided a grandchild. It was enough to make anyone question her capabilities as a wife.
Around noon, Marcus received a call from Celeste and returned home, surprised to find Shera also present.
Shera greeted him with a warm smile, and Marcus returned the gesture with a nod.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo this was Celeste’s ploy, to set up a meeting with Shera?
Celeste stole glances at the pair. Marcus seemed composed, while Shera appeared radiant.
Finally, Celeste broke the silence, saying, “Let’s sit down for Lunch.”
Marcus took a seat, and Shera sat beside him. After everyone started eating, Shera took it upon herself to serve Marcus sfood.

It’s high in vitamin C and helps with that.”
Marcus looked unimpressed as he moved the celery to an empty plate.
“I don’t care for celery. Please, focus on your own meal.”
His palate was versatile enough-his tin Raven Island had ensured that. But Marcus wasn’t about to eat something he didn’t want, not unless Millie was the one offering it.
Breaking the awkward silence, Celeste chimed in.
“Let’s just eat, shall we? The table is brimming with options. And Shera, I hope you’ll cto visit more often.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Absolutely,” Shera replied with a grin.
Celeste then turned her attention back to Marcus, “Since Millie’s grandmother had a car accident and she’s away taking care of her, why don’t you cstay here? We’ve got plenty of staff, and you won’t have to bother with meals.”
Marcus kept his eyes on his plate.
“No, thank you. Work’s been hectic lately. I require a quiet environment.”
Although Celeste was disheartened by his refusal, she knew better than to push. She’d just have to find other ways to bring him around more frequently, to foster chances for him and Shera.
After the meal, a downpour made the roads nearly impassable. Marcus had no choice but to stay until the weather cleared.
Retreating to the living room, Marcus settled on a couch, opened his laptop, and began skimming through an email.
Shera approached with a plate of fruit and took a seat next to him.
