THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 885

Norris had no idea how to answer Celeste's question. He was a bundle of nerves, completely at a loss.

Celeste pressed on. "Nod if you like me, shake your head if you don't. Don't worry, Norris, I don't bite."

Norris forced himself to calm down, then nodded.

Yes. He liked her.

Norris wasn't sure when he'd started noticing Celeste, but he was certain of one thing: he liked her.

Seeing him nod, Celeste was a little surprised. "Seriously?"

"Yes." Norris took another deep breath, deciding to abandon his nervousness. He looked directly into Celeste's eyes. "I like you a lot. Would you consider being my girlfriend?"

"Are you asking me out?" Celeste asked.

"Yes," Norris confirmed.

Celeste smiled. "In that case, I'll have to think about it carefully. I'll give you my answer tomorrow."

With that, she turned and walked away. Heaven knew how nervous she was. Her heart felt like it was about to burst from her chest. It wasn't the first time a guy had confessed his feelings for her, but this time was different.

Norris watched her go, then took out his phone.

Celeste received a WhatsApp message. It was from Norris.

Just one sentence.

[March, I'll be waiting for your answer.]

Reading his message made her heart beat even faster.

She replied with a single word. [Okay.]

Seeing her reply, a smile tugged at Norris's lips.

For the rest of the banquet, Celeste was a bit distracted. She couldn't stop herself from glancing in Norris's direction. It felt like a feather was constantly tickling her insides, and she walked around in a daze.

"March," Caitlin said, grabbing Celeste just before she walked into a pillar. "Careful, you almost hit that."

Startled, Celeste clutched her chest. "Catie, thank goodness for you."

Caitlin smiled. "What's going on? You seem to have your head in the clouds."

"It's nothing, just thinking about a novel I was reading last night." Celeste waved her hand dismissively.

She was thinking, if she and Norris really got together, then Caitlin would be her... sister-in-law?! Oh my god! That was too exciting!
