Chapter 323 Need Someone to Push
"That's right. Ceres behaves like this because she doesn't feel safe."
Caleb frowned but did not say anything.
"She is your goddaughter, dad. You are not related by blood. When you treat her well, she lives here as
the lady. But when you are angry, you might kick her out of the house!" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Caleb thought it seemed to make sense.
He began to feel that what he had said today was a bit too much. He should not have reprimanded
Ceres like that.
"Ceres has always been lacking a sense of security and the same is true when she was in the
Morrises' place. Because she didn't have a sense of security, she did weird things."
Jamie sighed, "Poor Ceres."
"Jamie, should I apologize to her later?"
Jamie nodded, "Yes, sure. But not now. Ceres has strong self-esteem. I guess that after such a thing
happened, she won't even get out of her room. So, let's wait for tomorrow."
"Alright, she needs some time to calm down as well."
"But your apology wouldn't make her stop feeling unsecured, I have a bold suggestion. I don't know if it
will work."
"What is it?"
"I was thinking maybe Roy and Ceres can be a couple, how do you think?"
Caleb had thought about the same thing. So, when Jamie mentioned it, he immediately smiled, "I had
this intention a long time ago! It's just ... that it's not easy."
Caleb thought it would be simple. But when he started to do it, he found it tricky.
"It's easy! Roy saved Ceres's life today. And this is not the same time that he has done so. As a girl, I
think they would have fallen in love long ago."
"Really?" Caleb's eyes widened. "I know that Roy seems to like Ceres, but Ceres doesn't seem to have
feelings for Roy."
"I know Ceres. She must have been interested in him. Maybe she is too injured and can't put herself
into the next relationship immediately. I think they need someone to push them a little."
Caleb laughed, he thought, 'If that is the case, then bravo!'
"Dad, if you trust me, why don't you leave this matter to me?"
"Of course, I trust you. You are my daughter."
After hearing Caleb's words, Jamie felt wronged and cried. She leaned against Caleb's chest. "Dad, I
thought you didn't like me anymore."
"Silly, how could I not like you? You are my only daughter. You've made mistakes but it was partially my
fault too. I should have brought you home earlier and educated you."
Jamie looked up at Caleb with tears in her eyes, "Dad, I was just jealous of Ceres. You were so good to
her, so I..."
Caleb felt guilty. He spent too much time trying to please Ceres, but he ignored Jamie's feelings.
He stroked Jamie's hair lovingly, "It was my negligence. Jamie, the past is all in the past. You are my
daughter. This is a fact that no one can change. The reason why I adopted Ceres is that she is a poor
girl.
Don't worry. She won't be a threat to you. Back then, I wanted to bring her to our house. I also hoped
that if one day I am gone, you two could be good sisters and support each other."
Jamie wiped the tears off her face and nodded vigorously. "Dad, don't worry. I will get along well with
Ceres."
The next day at breakfast, Ceres did not go downstairs.
After listening to Jamie's words yesterday, Caleb knew that Ceres had strong self-esteem. She
probably wouldn't come down to eat. So, he didn't force her.
"Roy. Ceres was frightened yesterday. She is not in a good mood. Why don't you take Ceres to the Hot
Spring Villa to relax?" Jamie said to Roy.
Caleb knew that Jamie was preparing to ship Joy and Ceres. He didn't expect her to act so quickly.
"Yeah, Roy. I was a little harsh yesterday. Take Ceres out for a walk. I will apologize to Ceres when I
come back tonight."
If it was brought up by Caleb, Roy would not have any suspicions. But now that it was brought up by
Jamie.
Joy didn't trust Jamie as much as Caleb did.
"Mr. Caleb, I haven't gone to the company for several days. There are a lot of things in the company.
I'm afraid you have to find someone else to accompany Ceres to the Hot Spring Villa."
Caleb was a little unhappy. He thought, 'Silly boy, can't you see we are creating a chance for you and
Ceres?'
"Boy! Why are you so dumb? No wonder you haven't got a girlfriend yet at such an age!" Caleb couldn't
help but scold, "Go! You must go! Don't worry about the company for the time being! Take Ceres down
first!"
Roy had no choice but to agree.
"Roy. Don't worry. If you like Ceres, I will help you."
Roy didn't say he liked her, nor did he say he didn't like her. He could only play along.
After breakfast, he knocked on Ceres's door with some food. Ceres stood at the door and yawned.
When she saw Roy deliver food to her, she didn't hold back.
"Tell me, what is that woman up to now?"
"She wants me to take you to the Hot Spring Villa for a walk."
As soon as Ceres heard about the Hot Spring Villa, she immediately laughed, "That's not a bad idea. I
haven't tried a hot spring before. Wait for me, I'll eat now."
"Do you want to go?"
"Why not? Bathing in a hot spring can prolong one's life! To be honest, I didn't have the chance to do
that in the past. This time, I have to enjoy myself to the fullest."
Roy looked at Ceres's calm appearance and thought, 'She most likely knows that Jamie has prepared
a trap for her, but why would she purposely enter it?'
After eating and drinking, Roy brought Ceres to the Hot Spring Villa.
There were already people waiting for them at the Hot Spring Villa. "Miss Jamie has called. The rooms
have already been prepared. This way, please."
Roy followed Ceres to the room. Roy was vigilant all the way, but Ceres was absent-minded.
Upon entering the room, Roy grabbed Ceres's wrist. "You must know what she is planning!"
"Why would I? You hurt me!" Ceres shook off Roy's hand.
"So you get into her trap without even knowing what's waiting for you?"
"I'm not afraid of anything. I just came to enjoy the hot spring."
As soon as Ceres finished speaking, she felt her legs go soft and she fell to the ground.
"Ceres!"
Roy called out. Just as he was about to help Ceres up, he also felt dizzy. Just as he was about to open
the window, he was struck in the back by someone!
