Celine smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Hampton."
Although she didn''t like Carly, Nigel was indeed a good man.
At that moment, a soft voice rang out. "Nigel, you''re back?"
Celine turned her head and saw a woman in an evening gown. Her name was Anne Warwick, and she was in her 40s. However, she was a ssic Josona beauty-gentle, delicate, and well-maintained.
Celine had never seen a woman by Nigel''s side before. She had heard that Nigel and his ex-wife had divorced years ago.
Celine looked at Anne. "Mr. Hampton, who is this? How should I address her?"
Nigel nced at Anne. "Ms. Tate, you can call her Ms. Warwick. That''s what everyone here calls her."
Celine looked at Anne. Just now, when Nigel said "Ms. Warwick", a flicker of disappointment shed through Anne''s eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
Anne smiled. "Ms. Tate, nice to meet you."
Celine replied, "Nice to meet you too, Ms. Warwick."
Then, Anne turned to Nigel. "Nigel, why were you abroad for so long this time?"
Nigel pressed his thin lips together. "I found Carly''s mother."
Celine was stunned. She had heard that Carly''s mother was dead, but now she had suddenly reappeared.
Anne''s expression changed drastically. "Nigel, Fiona isn''t dead?"
He replied, "She''s not dead. She''s been in aa all these years. Now, she''s woken up. I''ve already told her about Carly. She''ll be returning in a few days to see her daughter."
Anne''s expression immediately grewplicated. After a moment, she quickly said, "Nigel, Fiona misunderstood our rtionship back then. Now that she''sing back, you should exin things to her properly. Maybe the two of you can rekindle your old me."
Nigel''s voice turned icy. "She was the one who wanted the divorce. She was the one who left. There''s no chance for us!"
With that, Nigel flicked his sleeve and walked away.
Anne''s lips curled slightly. "Ms. Tate, I''ve already had a room prepared for you. If you need anything, just let me know."
Celine observed Anne. She carried herself like the madam of the Hampton family.
