Chapter 72
However, when Matthias saw how Celeste greeted the man, he felt that they seemed to know each other.
“He’s Beck Harper.”
“Beck?” Matthias was surprised. “Aren’t you two not that close? How did you both end up at the stable?”
“His niece fell into the pool just now and | saved her, and he brought his niece over to thank me.”
Matthias nodded. “I see.”
Celeste told Beck that she was with her colleagues. Thus, Beck assumed the person who had greeted her earlier
was just one of her colleagues, so he didn’t turn around to check
After Celeste and Matthias walked a little further away, Beck turned around, only to see a tall young man walking
beside Celeste.
From the way he looked from behind, he seemed like a good match for Celeste.
Beck could tell that they had a good relationship as they were walking closely to each other.
“Uncle Beck...”
Upon hearing Shanice’s voice, Beck cback to his senses “Are you done eating? Let's head back to our room
then.”

“Okay,” Shanice replied.
Beck had his meal earlier. Hence, he put down the napkin and went back to the room with Shanice.
As Celeste got back to her room, she was going to read for awhile on the balcony. Just then, her phone rang. It
was Trevor who called.
Usually, he'd only call her when there was something important.
After pondering for a moment, Celeste answered the call. “Bello?” she said coldly,
“Grandma asked us to go hand have dinner tomorrow night.”
Celeste paused for a moment. “Okay.”
Just as she finished speaking, Trevor hung up the call.
Celeste couldn't care less about it anymore.
She put away her phone, calmed herself down, and continued reading the book.
Celeste had a great sleep that night, so she woke up early the next morning.
She went to the resort's gym for a jog. After resting for a while, she decided to soak in the hot spring pool again.
Then, a woman in her forties or fifties walked over to Celeste. She was holding Shanice.
Celeste saw this woman yesterday.
She seemed to be Shanice’s nanny, employed by the Harper family to take care of Shanice,
The nanny was distracted by an urgent call yesterday, and she didn’t realize Shanice had gone missing.

If it wasn’t for Celeste, who was just around when Shanice fell into the pool, the consequences would be
unbearable for the nanny.
Hence, she thanked Celeste profusely.
Celeste replied, “You're welcome.”
She thought Shanice wouldn't dare to get into the pool after the bad experience yesterday.
Beck had probably helped her to overcher fear. Shanice held the nanny’s hand with one hand and clutched
the swimming ring with the other. After dipping her foot in the pool, she got into the pool slowly.
Moments later, Shanice kicked her legs and paddled toward Celeste. “Ms. Rodriguez...” she softly called.
Celeste turned to look at her. “Yes?”
Shanice remained silent, but she seemed to be in a good mood as she was paddling around Celeste.

The nanny grinned. “Shanice likes you a lot, though.”
Celeste smiled, remaining silent as well.
She had to leave now because there was another activity from the team-building event later.
Before she left, she greeted Shanice.
However, Shanice opened her arms. “Ms. Rodriguez, hug!”
Celeste had no choice but to reach out and carry her out of the pool.
After changing into a dry bathrobe, Celeste held Shanice in her arms and brought her to the elevator, thinking
that she would part ways with Shanice once they reached her floor.
As they were waiting for the elevator, Beck walked up to them.
Shanice beamed joyfully. “Uncle Beck!”
Beck stretched out his arms, wanting to bring Shanice over. Shanice was reluctant to let go of Celeste, yet she
wanted Beck to hold her. At last, Shanice extended one arm to Beck.
He brought Shanice over, and Shanice still had her hand on Celeste’s collar.
In that instant, Shanice accidentally pulled open Celeste’s bathrobe.
Then, Beck saw the blue lace lingerie under her bathrobe.
Celeste’s fair skin, along with the beautiful curves on her chest and her slender waist was utterly captivating.
