"Yes!" Peter replied, a bit nervously.
"She's clean, there's nothing suspicious about her. I've already looked into her.” "And?" "Well, I have the report in my email, but from what I remember, she's 35 years old, single-well, widowed. Her husband passed away eight years ago. They were married for two years before he died in a car accident." Wow... That's tragic' "She doesn't have kids. She lives in a modest apartment on the outskirts of Westhaven, alone with a cat. She studied fine arts. She doesn't cfrom a wealthy family or anything. She's just a regular woman, not the daughter of anyone important. In fact, she doesn't have any close family left. Her husband was the last." "She's all alone? She's such a..." "Beautiful woman? I thought the sthing. She's stunning-and single." Peter fell silent for a few minutes. It was hard for him to reconcile the image of that cheerful woman with the fact that she was a widow and completely alone.
"Tellsomething-she caught your attention, didn't she?" "No! Don't get ideas..." Peter shot back defensively. "It's just that seeing how well she gets along with Ethan madecurious." "Well, I didn't tell you the saddest part. When her husband died, she was six months pregnant. With all the stress. and chaos from the accident, she lost the baby too." "Wow. Now you've really shocked me." "Well, now you know all the details about the woman who's piqued your interest. Figure out what you want to do with them. I'll send you the report later. By the way, tonight we've got an invitation to her art exhibit. If you want, I can give you my ticket, and you can go with Ethan." Peter was left speechless, staring at his friend. He knew exactly where this was going. One question, and Theodore was already trying to set him up on a date.

"Sendher report. I'll take a look..." "Just letknow if you'll join us tonight or if it'll just be Ethan and me. I want to see her paintings. Maybe I'll buy something to decorate this house-it's still missing a few touches." By the tPeter went to pick up Ethan from school, he had already read through the report. Theodore, of course, hadn't missed the significance of this. Peter had never investigated any of Ethan's other teachers before. Clearly, Chapter 0436 this one had stood out to him.

At 35 years old, she was a widow living alone with her elderly cat, which had originally belonged to her husband. She resided in a small apartment, just the right size for a woman and her pet.

She was simply Celeste Johnson.
