My Rich Hot and Infertile or Maybe Not Husband

Chapter 1299

He thought participating in the competition would make his mother happy, so he chose to join, even though he had just learned to swim and wasn’t proficient yet. As a result. Liam lost his balance not long into the swim. He was still trying to swim forward while his mother, Skyler, seeing him fall behind, was anxiously yelling at him from the shore to hurry up

His body bobbed up and down in the water. All he could see was Skyler’s disappointment and blame for losing the competition. He didn’t remember much after that, but when he woke up, his father was sitting by his bed, his eyes bloodshot. Skyler, on the other hand, was standing far away. Her eyes didn’t show any joy but rather a sense of relief

Thats why his grandmother didn’t want Skyler to take care of Liam anymore. She was never a fit mother, especially to him.

After hearing his story, Celeste was silent for a long time. She wanted to ask Liam why he still cared for Skyler despite her mistreatment. But that question in itself had no answer

People always cling to what they can’t get

Maybe he still wanted to see that almost non-existent maternal love from Skyler Liam was never cold, so he felt such pain in this mother–son relationship

Celeste sighed and said softly. “We can’t choose our past, we can’t change them, but we can choose not to be parents like them.

Swimming isn’t scary at all No matter how deep you sink, I’ll catch you. Don’t you trust me?” Her eyes were gentle yet firm, like a beam of light illuminating the dark waters of his six–year–old self, guiding him slowly to the surface.

Liam smiled lightly and whispered, “I’ll learn.”

Celeste chuckled. Then hold onto me and practice breathing a few more times.”

Just as Liam raised his hand, Steven slapped it away. What do you think you’re doing?”

As he spoke, he squeezed himself between them, separating the two. Liam stayed silent while Celeste quietly retorted, “Steven, I’m teaching him to

swim”

Steven glanced at Liam, “We have professional swimming instructors here. If Mr. Reed really wants to learn, I can arrange that for you. No need to take advantage of the situation”

“He didn’t. “Celeste started to defend Liam, but Steven cut her off. “There’s a male model show coming up. I’ll take you to get a good spot.”

Upon hearing this, Celeste instantly forgot about her boyfriend, and her eyes lit up. “What male models?”

Liam’s face darkened, and Steven was always causing trouble on his road to reconciliation.

Steven said. “They’re from a modeling agency. It’s a show that Clair’s friend arranged for her. I think you’ll like it.”

Feeling Liam’s burning gaze, Celeste laughed awkwardly, I’m not particularly into it, just curious.

‘Let’s go, I’ll take you to see it. Don’t waste your time here being a free coach. The student doesn’t even pay and takes advantage.”

Liam didn’t say a word NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Steven skillfully whisked her away, leaving Liam with no choice but to watch helplessly.

Mason chuckled softly on the side.

Hearing the sound, Liam retorted coldly, “See? Even in a fair fight, you stand no chance. Can you even compare with Steven?”

Mason shot him a glance, “You want me to take some pressure off you, don’t you?”

Liam fell silent.

Mason was sharp. Even without knowing the sibling relationship between Celeste and Steven, he could see through Liam’s tolerance for Steven.

Liam, who dared not to speak up, was trying to coax him. Did he look like an idiot who was easily fooled?

When the coaxing failed, Liam even resorted to provocation, “Looks like you don’t like her as much as you pretend.”

Mason bit his tongue but couldn’t hold back, “Maybe you should worry about which male model Celeste will choose later”

Liam did not react.
