Chapter 0543

Peter watched as Celeste stepped out of the small house. The scene felt surreal. Not long ago, she had been in their home–her home. A place where she could live comfortably And now, here she was, in the modest house he had given her as a gesture to make her happy.

“You could have told me you were coming!” a soft but firm voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “Celeste… I… Why did you leave the house? That’s your home!” Peter struggled to find the right words.

“Peter, I’m on my way to work. If you want to talk about the babies, I’ll be done at 7 p.m. We can talk then, but I can’t be late now.”

“Where do you work? I can drive you.”

“Thanks, but it’s not necessary.‘

“Celeste, please. I’m already here. We could talk on the way.. Please.”

This is my routine now, and I don’t need you to disrupt it. I’ve told you when and where I’ll be free. If you want to talk, let me know, and we’ll meet in the evening.”
