My Rich Hot and Infertile or Maybe Not Husband

Chapter 1298

Liam whispered back. The one about us getting back together if I learn to swim.”

Celeste had said this initially as a way to encourage Liam.

However, after learning from Mason about Liam’s past drowning experience, she didn’t want to use this as a condition to motivate him anymore.

She softly said. “Even if you don’t learn, I still want to marry you, and no one can stop that. But I still hope you can learn My mum Caitlyn always tells me it’s good to learn as many skills as possible. They might come in handy I think swimming is one of those important skills you should learn. But if you cant, it’s okay, I’ve got your back, in the water, I can still hold onto you.”

Moved by her words, Liam gently squeezed Celeste’s hand under the water and murmured,

I’ll give it another go.”

Celeste replied, “If you’re really scared, then forget about it. Don’t force yourself. I didn’t know you’d had a drowning incident before.”

Liam paused, “Did Mason tell you?”

Celeste nodded, then complained a bit, “Does everyone know except me?”

Liam shook his head. “Not many people know Grandma didn’t want it to get out

Curiosity piqued, Celeste asked, “What really happened?”

Liam moistened his lips, took a moment, then started to tell her

At the time of his drowning, Liam was only six years old, and his sister Kaylee Reed hadn’t been born yet, he was the only child.

But he didn’t receive any extra attention from Skyler Reed because of his status as the only son.

In his memory, Skyler’s life revolved around buying luxury goods, having tea with her friends, and talking about trivial matters.

He didn’t understand why his smart father would marry such a woman.

Apart from being beautiful, she didn’t have much going for her.

She was vain, opportunistic, and self–righteous.

Skyler wasn’t particularly good to him, but she wasn’t particularly bad either. Most of the time, she just ignored him. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

So when she invited her female friends and their children to his birthday party, even though he was the birthday boy, he was just her showpiece.

Of course, he had also been her ticket to marrying into the Reed family. Even though she didn’t really participate in raising him, it didn’t stop her from showing off Liam to her female friends.

He was fluent in foreign languages, had an impressive memory, and was extremely good at learning.

In her eyes, her child should be the best.

So, when a female friend announced that her son had won a swimming competition at school, she felt her limelight was stolen. So, she lied that her son was also a good swimmer

Her vanity got the best of her, insisting that he had to compete with that boy.

Liam was very young then. He didn’t understand why his mother didn’t take care of him like Mason’s or Steven’s mothers did. He always blamed himself he must not be good enough, that was why his

mother didn’t like him. So, he decided to do more things that could make his mother happy.
