Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 290 Keeping It Private for Now

Hearing my response, Celeste's expression shifted to an awkward one that came from uncovering a truth she hadn't been expecting.

Her gaze lowered momentarily before suddenly locking on my left hand. The moment she spotted the wedding ring on my finger, her eyes lit up with excitement again. "Ms. Brown, that ring on your finger..." She stared at it, her gaze bright with curiosity.

"Is this the same wedding ring from your marriage with Mr. Cornell?"

I shook my head. "No, I remarried. So, whoever Jeremiah is dating now has nothing to do with me. I'm currently living a happy and fulfilled life."

Celeste's eyes widened in shock. She clearly hadn't expected such explosive news. After all, ever since my divorce, I had never gone public with a new relationship. Most people assumed I had been so deeply hurt by Jeremiah that I had given up on love. No one expected me to remarry so quickly.

She quickly composed herself and continued, "Then, can you share any details about your new husband with us?"

I hesitated. I hadn't discussed this with Eric yet, so I couldn't make the decision on my own. After thinking for a moment, I shook my head. "I'd prefer to keep that private for now. When the time comes for us to make it public, we will."

Though a bit disappointed, Celeste nodded in understanding. She didn't push further and transitioned the interview back to new energy-related topics.
