Redeemed From Caged Love By Karrin Chapter 4
Chapter 04 Outside the window, the spectacular sunset glow was gradually devoured by the blackness. A soft white light lit up the small apartment’s living room. Celeste was on her knees mopping the floor. She mopped it countless times until it glistened like a mirror, but Celeste was still mechanically repeating the action. It seemed like she was not mopping the floor, but trying to erase that man from her heart. Suddenly, the phone placed on the table rang again, and this time, it was a video call. The name Kendric flashed on the screen. Celeste raised an eyebrow and halted in her tracks. Kendric had never initiated a video call with her before. After some hesitation, she answered the call but switched it to a voice one. A deep male voice came from the other end, “where are you?” Kendric is the silent type. He prefers to go straight to the point. He wouldn’t even bother to ask the reason why Celeste decided to move out. Or he just didn’t care about her reasons for a out? “Outside,” she replied. “Go back home now,” he said in an even tone, as if her moving out wasn’t a big deal to him. Celeste parted her lips. She would like to vent her feelings, but Kendric interrupted, “I’ve been really busy lately. Cely, be a good girl.” Then he directly hung up the phone. Chapt M4 For a split second, Celeste had the impulse to laugh and she did, but gradually her laughter was stained with sadness. He didn’t love her, and she had long realized it. But what did he treat her as how? A doll? Or a pet? Ever since Kendric turned 18, his grandfather Caleb had been gradually passing on the family or business affairs to him.

Kendric’s distinguished ability overshadowed Celeste who was only an ordinary girl. That’s one of the reason others disliked Celeste because they all thought she didn’t deserve Kendric. Many girls were waiting to drag her down. the position of Kendric’s fiancée. Ophelia Bates is one of them, and Gavin’s antagonism towards Celeste also stemmed from this. In their eyes, a painter was unworthy of a business tycoon’s love. If it weren’t for the arranged marriage, Kendric probably wouldn’t spare Celeste a second look. Coercion won’t lead to enjoyable outcomes. Even if she forced Kendric into marriage, she wouldn’t win his heart. Celeste had only recently grasped this truth. She wiped away the teardrops on the floor. *** The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Celeste headed to her studio. After graduation, Celeste and Sienna had started this studio together. But Celeste didn’t frequent it much, and it was Sienna who handled most of the affairs. Celeste arrived early today, and she didn’t forget to bring Sienna’s favorite coffee and sandwiches. The studio has only around twenty staff, most of whom were newcomers. Some of them are even ignorant of Celeste. As a result, Celeste was intercepted by the receptionist at the door. “Excuse me, lady, who are you looking for?” Celeste quickly fished out her badge card from her bag and clocked in. The record showed she punched in zero time this month. Celeste blushed with awkwardness. She was quite an irresponsible boss. She walked directly to Sienna’s office. “Cely? You actually came?” Clearly, Sienna was shocked by her arrival. Celeste handed over the breakfast. “I’ll be in studio punctually every day from now on.” Sienna took a bite of the sandwich.
