The location Adele and Celeste had agreed on for their private meeting was a large riverside villa. This villa was purchased by Celeste, but the property deed bore Adele’s name. Adele had signed it in a daze after being coaxed by Celeste some time ago. After the girl discovered it, Celeste was “dealt with” by Adele again. The reason was that she dared to deceive her master!

However, Celeste seemed... rather happy to receive such punishment. Adele really couldn’t do anything about her. As for the master-slave relationship between them due to the spiritual contract, neither Celeste nor Adele rarely mentioned it now.

It wasn’t because the effect of this contract was gradually weakened as their strength increased. On the contrary, it was because this contract had been replaced by another more powerful and unbreakable contract, which was the “love contract.”

The relationship between Adele and Celeste had already blossomed. In this case, calling each other master or servant was just a playful act between lovers.

Adele had just finished her lunch break when Celeste called, saying that she had parked her car at the school gate. Because cars weren’t allowed inside the academy, Adele had to walk a short distance.

Adele acted spoiled and complained that Celeste didn’t dote on her anymore, but in reality, she happily changed into her little skirt and white socks and went out. And to her surprise, as soon as she went downstairs, she saw Celeste’s car parked downstairs in the dormitory building.

Celeste got out of the driver’s seat, dressed in a more mature style than students her age. Indeed, Celeste was no longer the incompetent Sequence Two who was forced by her family to apologize to Hermione after being stepped on by her.

At least her status in real life had been rising steadily because of her extraordinary talent in business. Now, most of the businesses in the Celeste family were managed by her remotely.

In addition, she had also developed many businesses that belonged only to her and Adele through acquisitions, mergers, and transformations. And Celeste’s focus was clearly on these businesses.

As for Tang Linlang, who had similar attributes to her, as a second-generation demolition developer, she knew that she didn’t have a business mind, but she also didn’t want to let that money sit in the bank earning meager interest, creating huge profits for others. So the girl simply chose to use her money for angel investments.

Celeste was the person she invested in the most. Otherwise, did you really think that Celeste could so easily acquire the family business among the descendants of the family and obtain investments to develop the business she favored?

Naturally, there was the full support of the mysterious organization “Adele Party” behind this! Dorothy, Hermione, Edith, and others contributed power, while Tang Linlang, as a second-generation demolition developer, contributed money, and Adele contributed a little... ahem, “encouragement.”

This was how they supported Celeste, this promising talent. Therefore, one’s destiny depended on self-struggle, but it also required crucial opportunities.

Tang Linlang had invested in Celeste, so she didn’t have to do anything, just relying on the shares she had obtained from the angel investment to enjoy high dividends. So when Celeste interacted with Tang Linlang, she would always self-deprecatingly say that she was just an employee, and Tang Linlang was the real boss.

In addition, Tang Linlang also invested in some game companies. Don’t ask, just ask that Adele liked to play games, so she thought of investing in a few game companies, not hoping to make much money, but just hoping that they would take the investment and make a few games that Adele liked.

Just recently, she had invested 1 million in a game company founded by three young people from scratch. It seemed to be called Mihoyo or something... she couldn’t remember. Anyway, as long as they could make good games, it was fine!

Back to reality, Celeste smiled slightly at Adele, took off the sunglasses on her face, and revealed those emerald green eyes, which were full of the girl she loved.

“How did you drive in?” Adele asked curiously.

“Putting aside the extraordinary world, in the secular world, there are few things that money cannot solve.”

“So it’s the power of money again.” Adele smiled helplessly, came to the right side of Celeste’s golden sports car, and sat in the passenger seat familiarly.

As soon as she got into the car, she became restless. Her eyes looked out the window, but her hand was on Celeste’s thigh, kneading wantonly. Celeste blushed, but didn’t resist at all, just acquiescing.

“It’s a ten-minute drive, not long. Because it’s a finished house, there’s no need to worry about renovations.”

“And even if it was renovated, I wouldn’t dare to let you live in it because of the formaldehyde~” The girl started the sports car and chatted with Adele attentively.

“But speaking of which, Adele, what is it that you are looking for me today for?”

“Can’t it just be because I simply want to see you?” Adele’s direct attack shattered Celeste’s defenses, and her entire heart melted and softened into Adele’s shape.

“N-No problem.” The girl pursed her lips, feeling a faint wetness spreading.

“But of course I didn’t simply want to see Celeste today.” Adele added.

“...” Celeste was speechless, but thinking about it again, this was a very Adele-style conversation, so she laughed.

The scenery outside the window sped by, and Adele’s stroking gradually became gentle from the initial eagerness. Finally, it stopped and slowly retracted. No one knew what she was thinking during this silent period. Celeste, who was good at observing words and expressions, noticed it and was a little puzzled.

Why did Adele... stop touching her? Although this kind of thing was not recommended when driving on the road, Celeste was a vampire, so she still had this much self-control. So even if Adele went a little further, as long as they didn’t encounter traffic police and weren’t discovered by others, it would be fine.

Not to mention, apart from Celeste, Adele herself was also a quasi-Legendary Mage recognized by the Enforcement Bureau, so it could be said that there was no safety problem from the beginning.

Celeste felt puzzled, but the girl didn’t say much. Instead, she dutifully took Adele back to their little... it seemed that it couldn’t be considered a small nest anymore, but a big nest. There was a small nest in the community outside the academy before, but later Adele and Celeste were both busy, so the two rarely went there for dates. It had been left unused until now.

There were still some cosmetics, little skirts, and the like that Celeste bought when she first took Adele out on a date. It was full of memories now that she thought about it.

“We’re here, this is it.” Celeste opened the smart sensor door with the remote control. Then she reversed the car into the garage of this luxurious villa.

Adele got out of the passenger seat first, looked at the scenery of the front yard garden of the villa, and couldn’t help but imagine the scene of herself living here. All the work is done by Celeste, nothing to do, do Celeste... ahem!

She couldn’t believe she could still think of such a joke at a time like this. Adele smiled wryly.

Her mood was actually more nervous and uneasy than when she confessed to Sharon. Because in a sense, Celeste might be the girl she had deceived the most, and of course... the girl she had saved the most completely.

Because if she hadn’t saved her, and let the world continue along the original timeline, Celeste’s ending would likely be... Adele shook her head vigorously, unwilling to think about it anymore. Perhaps, according to the principle of offsetting merits and demerits, she could indeed comfort herself that there was no need to feel guilty towards Celeste.

But offsetting merits and demerits couldn’t be proposed by the person who made the mistake. It should be one of Celeste’s choices. If Celeste didn’t choose to forgive her after hearing the truth of all the events, Adele would not have any objections... she would probably try to save this relationship as much as possible in the subsequent time.

“Let’s go, upstairs first.” Celeste parked the car, came behind Adele, and hugged the girl without hesitation, resting her chin on her shoulder from behind, and affectionately rubbing her cheek against Adele’s.

It almost made the girl’s soft little face show a Q-bouncy pudding-like shape.

“Ugh... Okay.” Adele’s mood changed a little for the better because of Celeste’s intimate action.

The two held hands and went upstairs together. Only then did they discover that this was a residence with all kinds of spaces. Apart from the most common but also most important bedroom, it also had guest rooms, children’s rooms, cloakrooms, gyms, e-sports rooms, private cinemas, and so on...

Adele and Celeste could enjoy most of the entertainment in the real and even virtual worlds here. Of course, these rooms, apart from the bedroom, would mostly accumulate dust for a long time. Adele wouldn’t have so much time to come here and enjoy and experience them. But Celeste would regularly hire people to clean them, including frequently updating the equipment.

For rich people like them, the more they spent and the more diverse their spending, the more social jobs they provided, which was considered doing good deeds.

The first place the two went to visit was the master bedroom. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the uniquely designed translucent bathroom and the extraordinarily soft-looking double bed. Pulling open the half-opened curtains, the morning light and the wind would come in together from the open balcony.

Adele could almost imagine herself and Celeste on the bed, in the bathtub, on the exciting balcony... Or perhaps, now. Celeste had already started rubbing the back of the girl’s neck with her ample... looking a little impatient.

But Adele felt that... if she didn’t tell Celeste about that matter beforehand, she would feel inexplicably guilty in her heart... So she called the girl’s name.

“...Celeste, wait.”

And Celeste also heard the seriousness in Adele’s tone and couldn’t help but stop. After a long while, she nodded gently.

“Okay.”

“Is there anything... Adele, just say it.”

“Then—I’ll say it.” Adele took a deep breath, picked up the determination she had already made but had unconsciously put behind her, turned around, and faced Celeste, who was taller than her, and her gentle emerald green eyes.

Celeste put on a posture of listening attentively.

“Celeste, have you ever thought that if I hadn’t taken the initiative to look for you, our future... would have been different?”

In that situation at that time, Celeste couldn’t have dared to approach Adele under Hermione’s threat. But her hatred wouldn’t disappear either, and under the constant blows of reality, she would believe that it was Hermione who ruined everything for her: her love, her studies, her family, and her life...

So, it wasn’t difficult to understand that Celeste would impulsively choose to fight Hermione desperately in the end. Celeste’s expression obviously froze, and then the gentle smile that always hung on her lips gradually disappeared.

She lowered her head and muttered, “...I did think about it.”

“But I didn’t dare to continue thinking about it.”

She was a girl who embraced flames, so as long as there was a trace of passion, she could love reality and not think about pessimistic situations. But at the same time, this flame would also devour the girl’s reason and everything when she was completely desperate.

“Then let me tell you, if I hadn’t approached you, and we hadn’t formed that spiritual contract,”

“You would have been constantly hit by reality and would ultimately choose to take a potion that burns life force and strengthens magic power to attack Hermione, but would fail.”

Adele didn’t say what the result of the failure would be, but Celeste could probably guess it. Unexpectedly, she didn’t immediately ask Adele why she made such a guess.

Instead, after thinking about it seriously, the blonde girl smiled self-deprecatingly. “It is indeed something a fool like me would do.”

“So I was really saved by Adele~”

Adele didn’t expect Celeste to give such a response. At the moment, she was touched and also couldn’t help but feel more guilty. “...Is it still considered saving, even if it began with deception?”

“Whether it is deception or not is Adele’s business, but whether it is saving or not is for me to judge.”

“Adele, do you think I am that stupid?”

“How could a girl who was almost violated by me return good for evil, be gentle to me, and treat me well?”

“The reason why I was willing to trust Adele was that at that time, I knew very clearly that I needed such a spiritual pillar more than anyone else.”

“Adele was willing to put aside the past and become my spiritual pillar to continue this life. If I still cared about whether it was true or not, wouldn’t it be too greedy?”

“...” Adele’s eyes widened slightly.

Obviously, she didn’t expect that the same thing would have ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) completely different interpretations from different perspectives.

Celeste hugged the girl’s slender waist and rarely lowered her face, her lips lightly touching Adele’s. This simple action gave the girl tremendous warmth and shock.

“What’s more, didn’t we fall in love with each other later?”

Adele suddenly wanted to cry. Why was it that she originally wanted to ask for Celeste’s forgiveness, but now it had become Celeste being her spiritual mentor and enlightening her!!

“Of course...” —”Of course we love each other!” Adele said the words from the bottom of her heart, then kissed Celeste without hesitation.

Kissing her golden retriever!
