Chapter 59
A few minutes later, Kendric came downstairs. Celeste was sitting across from Mrs. Jones and, upon seeing him, she urged, “Alright, everyone’s here, Mrs. Jones, you can kick things off.”
Kendric shot a quick glance at Celeste, puzzled about what she was up to. He didn’t seem thrilled about having so many strangers at home, but he still begrudgingly took a seat on the couch.
Mrs. Jones cleared her throat, ready to commence her lecture.
“Let’s pick up where we left off in our last lesson. A man’s criteria for
picking a wife should be whether she can help manage the household
effectively, not just her looks.

Mrs. Jones specially cast a glance at Celeste.
Celeste inquired, “Mrs. Jones, so you mean stunning women might stir up
trouble?”
Mrs. Jones nodded in agreement.
Kendric furrowed his brow deeply. He gave a “what bullshits you are
talking” glare at Mrs. Jones. Anger was beginning to smolder in his eyes.
Mrs. Jones continued, “women should be humble, gentle, and not
domineering. They should learn how to cater to their husbands. Similarly, men shouldn’t be overly good to women. You need to have tactics and attitude when it comes to handling your wife.”
Celeste turned to Kendric, “you get it?”

“That’s what she’s teaching you every day?” he tried to suppress down his
Celeste nodded, “yeah, be patient and keep listening.”
Kendric felt like he was about to run out of his all patience.
Mrs. Jones continued to drone on, “a perfect wife should cook meals for her

“SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!” Kendric rose from the couch.
Mrs. Jones was taken aback by his outburst and shook her head, “L… I shut
“Luke! Drive her out!”
“Yes, sir,” he pulled Mrs. Jones toward the door.
Kendric’s gaze wandered among the people in the living room, “who
brought that idiot here?”
Madelyn immediately pointed at Celeste, “Celeste!”
Celeste smiled, “if it weren’t for you letting me attend her classes, how
would I know her?”
Madelyn perceived Kendric’s wrath and quickly explained, “no, I don’t know this Mrs. Jones.”
Celeste sat with arms crossed, “Mrs. Jones is the teacher your mother specially hired to give me lessons.”
“Is that so, mother?”
Madelyn quickly waved her hand, “no, I didn’t. I don’t even know her.”

Celeste sneered, “believe it or not, I told you the truth.”
The hall fell silent for a moment. Ellie Grayson, who had been silent all
along, suddenly spoke up, “it was Mrs. Quinn who had Mrs. Brown trick Celeste
into attending the class.”
Madelyn immediately jumped up, “crap! You liar!”
Kendric looked at Celeste and saw that she didn’t want to explain further.
Coldly, he commanded, “from today on, we won’t allow outsiders in. Also, after the engagement ceremony, Mother, you will return to your hometown in
the south.”
Madelyn’s voice was filled with panic, “Ken, you’re my son. You can’t treat. me like this!”
Kendric had been taken care of by his grandfather since birth. His father was a playboy who was hardly ever at home, and Madelyn was indulged in partying and socializing. They hadn’t spent much time with their son.

“It’s because you’re my mother that entrusted Celeste to you. She’s my fiancée, not a maid!”
Madelyn was utterly flustered, “Ken, I was wrong, forgive me. I didn’t mean it. Please don’t send me away.”
Celeste was fed up with this chaos. She turned and headed upstairs.
The butler, standing there with tears in his eyes, “sir, you can’t do this. Madam did this for your own good.”
Kendric closed his eyes, suppressing his annoyance, “I’ve decided. You’ll immediately return to hometown after the engagement ceremony, and you…”
He looked at the butler, “you’ll go with her.”
Celeste sat on the outdoor balcony, her mind‘ filled with turmoil as she
listened to the commotion outside.
The fact that Kendric was sending his mother back to her hometown was
surprising to Celeste, but she didn’t have much sympathy for Madelyn.
She sat there, lost in thought. Quietly, he walked up behind her.
“Are you satisfied with this outcome?”
Celeste, hugging her knees, looked up at Kendric, “if you’re doing this on
purpose, then let me tell you, I’m very satisfied!”
She asked seriously, “Kendric, are you trying to please me?”
Kendric didn’t answer. His pride didn’t allow him to admit that he was
trying to please her. Even though everything he did was indeed an attempt to please her.
Celeste shook her head, “it’s useless. When I say I have ceased loving you, I mean it. Whatever you do won’t change that.”
Kendric smiled, and the anger on his face faded.
“It’s okay, as long as you’re happy.”
