SWNOVELS Chapter 1232
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 become your 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.
So 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 some food.
“You've got dark circles under your eyes, Marcus. Try some celery.

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 time in 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 come to visit more often.”
“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 come stay
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.”
