Chapter 536

Celeste paused for a moment.

Kieran, however, just smiled and said, "It's fine. You can eat it

later when you're hungry. If you don't feel like having this, I'll

make something fresh for you later."

Celeste hesitated, then replied softly, "...Alright. Thank you."

For a brief moment, the three of them fell into an awkward

silence.

Noticing Celeste's discomfort, Lottie and Matthias quickly

stepped in to ease the tension.

Lottie said, "Mr. Briggs brought his guitar. Come on, let's go

listen to him sing."

Celeste and Lottie walked off, leaving Caleb and Kieran standing

there. The two men exchanged a glance, said nothing, and

quietly went back to the bonfire they had built earlier. 1

Wynn and her group didn't hear what Kieran or Caleb had said to

Celeste, but after seeing that scene, Wynn froze for a moment. It

almost looked like something was going on, but then she shook

her head, thinking she might be overanalyzing. 1

Miles's friends also happened to know Caleb

----

They hadn't paid him much attention before, since they weren't

close.

But now, seeing that moment, one of them withdrew his gaze

and said, "Who's that woman? She's seriously beautiful. No

wonder even Mr. Jennings, who never shows interest in women,

seems to be falling for her." 1

Linda instantly bristled. "What do you mean by that? Don't be

stupid. Mr. Jennings wouldn't possibly like he

Her irritation wasn't just denial. She couldn't accept that a man

as outstanding as Caleb might actually be interested in Celeste. 1

Besides, as far as she knew, Celeste and Matthias were basically

a couple. How could there be anything between her and Caleb? 1

And even if Caleb did like Celeste, he wouldn't openly make a

move in front of Matthias, right? If he really did, Matthias would

have lost his temper already.

As for Kieran, that was even more unlikely. Everyone knew he

liked Wynn.

Celeste didn't know what Wynn's group thought. 2

Asher Briggs was one of Matthias's friends, and he was pretty

good at playing the guitar.

----

Their group sat around, listening to him sing and play, while

Lottie, being the outgoing type, even picked a few songs and

sang along with him. +

Celeste wasn't much of a singer. She rarely listened to music

either. So, she just sat and listened.

Just then, both Kieran and Caleb stood up almost at the same

time and started walking toward her.

When they noticed each other's movements, they both stopped

briefly, then continued on toward Celeste anyway.

Everyone around noticed the scene.

Asher even stopped strumming his guitar. Everyone's attention

shifted to the two men.

Neither Kieran nor Caleb seemed embarrassed.

This time, it was Kieran who spoke first, "I brought a telescope.

Want to do some stargazing?"

Caleb smiled slightly. "What a coincidence. | brought one too.”

Celeste couldn't say anything.

Truth be told, she was interested in stargazing. But...

Matthias coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "I like stargazing

----

too. Mind if | join?"

And just like that, the four of them ended up setting up their

telescopes together.

From a short distance away, Wynn and Linda couldn't help

glancing over from time to time.

If, before, Wynn could convince herself that Caleb and Kieran

walking over to Celeste was just a coincidence, the scene now

made it hard to deny the fact that Caleb clearly was interested in

Celeste. 2

As for Kieran... She thought he was probably just pretending.

But remembering how cold and distant Kieran had been toward

her lately, Wynn couldn't shake off a faint sense of unease. 2

To Linda and Miles, though, Celeste and Matthias were already

considered a couple. 1

Even when Caleb and Kieran approached them, since they

couldn't hear what was being said, they naturally assumed the

men were talking to Matthias, nothing more.

Just then, Beck finally arrived. 11
