Celeste was speechless.

She was so angry she cursed Rex venomously. The noise had woken her up, prompting her to ask a few questions while still half asleep.
Rex explained the whole situation, laughing so hard he almost couldn’t stop.
Celeste was confused. “Wait, Oriel has such great conditions, and she even offered to collaborate with you. Why did you let her go?”
“Are you stupid?” Rex grinned. “With a face like mine, how can any woman resist me? What if Oriel gets serious later on? That would be a nightmare! If that happens, I won’t be able to get rid of her, no matter how hard I try!”
He knew exactly what his mother was like.
Once a relationship was confirmed, trying to break it off would be nearly impossible.
Everything that could go wrong had to be nipped in the bud.
Celeste’s lips twitched with his reason. “You really have no shame.”
Despite that, Celeste couldn’t deny that Rex had a point.
He had a beautiful face. Well, he was definitely a favorite of the older, wealthy women.
“Fine,” Celeste said, finally sounding tired. “Congrats on passing the test. I’m going to sleep now; don’t bother me.” She hung up the phone without a second thought.
Rex, still basking in his triumph, couldn’t shake his smile.
He stared at the phone, which had been so coldly hung up, and muttered to himself, “Thank goodness that Celeste is such a tomboy. If she weren’t, I’d have to worry about her falling for me too. That would be such a hassle.”
Meanwhile, Celeste sneezed and quickly pulled her blanket over herself.
This was Charmaine’s first time raising kittens. The first few days, she only fed them goat milk and kitten food at the clinic. The little furballs only managed to eat enough to fill their round bellies.
To her surprise, just a few days later, the kittens grew rapidly. Their heads were rounder, their little feet plumper, and even their tails had gotten thicker.
It wasn’t just the kittens; the grown cats also put on some weight. Even the orange cat, the mother, had started gaining a little extra fat.
During the hospital’s lunch break, Charmaine opened the monitoring app to replay the footage and saw Alfred and the other servants walking by, feeding the kittens.
The mansion had nearly a hundred staff members, and these little guys had become the stars of the household. They were spoiled with treats and extra meals every day, so of course they were getting chubby.

Chapter 394 You Really Have No Shame
Watching them, Charmaine found herself enjoying her own meals even more.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Charmaine called out, “Come in.”

Paxton entered, followed by Zayn, who was wearing a white lab coat.
Charmaine didn’t spare a glance at Zayn. “Mr. Zimmer.”
She was completely ignoring Zayn.
Paxton instinctively glanced at Zayn, but when he saw that Zayn wasn’t reacting, he figured Zayn had already braced himself for the cold shoulder.
“Dr. Robin, are you eating? If you’re busy, we can step outside and wait until you’re done.”
Charmaine spoke up, “It’s fine. Mr. Zimmer, just get to the point.”
“Haha, well, Dr. Robin, the thing is, you need to stay on and see patients and can’t be without an assistant. So, Dr. Nelson has volunteered to assist you. He’d like to learn from your experience while helping out.”
Charmaine raised an eyebrow, a subtle hint of something passing through her mind. She turned toward Zayn with a knowing look.
If she remembered correctly, after her kidney transplant surgery with Leah in her past life, Leah had recovered much faster than she had.
While Charmaine had been stuck resting in bed, Leah was full of energy. She had taken advantage of her winter break to appear on a variety show, with Zayn accompanying her on screen.
The siblings, both beautiful, had gained plenty of attention. Thanks to their prestigious family background, the show’s producers and the family marketing team had ensured they became fan favorites.
At the time, everyone had praised the Nelsons for raising well–mannered children who had none of the airs of rich people. They were beautiful, kind–hearted, and intelligent. Leah had even earned the title of being Eragos top debutante through it all.
Back then, Charmaine had been lying in a hospital bed, knitting a unique butterfly shawl for Leah to celebrate.
Looking back now. Hehe.
The top debutante?
Did Leah really deserve that?
Seeing Charmaine remain emotionless, not acknowledging him, Zayn assumed she must dislike him. She didn’t even bother to look at him.
Zayn took a step forward, the proud, studious son of a noble family who was used to being admired by everyone, now standing humbly before Charmaine. He lowered his head, his lips pressed into a tight line, his tone careful and tense.
“I’m not here for anything other than to learn. Dr. Robin, if you find me annoying, I will make si o stay out of your way and not cause you any trouble.”
