Chapter 1239


    "Gary, you''re back?" Grace stared at Gary. "Your ssmate is here to see you."


    Gary walked over and nced at Celeste.


    Celeste''s face was tingling from his gaze. She stood up and said in a low voice, "Gary, you''re back?


    I want to have a chat with you."


    "What''s there to talk about?" Gary''s tone was cold and indifferent.


    Grace immediately frowned. "What''s with that attitude? Your ssmate is here to see you; shouldn''t


    you talk to her nicely?"


    Gary nced at his mother and softened his temper a little. Nevertheless, he still said the same


    sentence indifferently, "Celeste, what is there for you toe all this way to my house to talk


    about?"


    "You know why I am here." Celeste mustered up her courage and said, "The thing we talked about


    yesterday."


    "I don''t really care," Gary replied and didn''t seem to want to say too much. He turned around and


    walked upstairs. "I respect everyone''s opinion. You don''t have to ask for my consent."


    After that, he went upstairs and did not intend to stay to entertain his ssmate at all.


    Grace became anxious all of a sudden.


    "Gary."


    However, Gary didn''t stop and continued to head upstairs.


    Celeste also became anxious. She asked, "Auntie, can I go up and talk to him privately?"


    Grace nodded quickly. "Go ahead. He doesn''t have a good temper, but don''t be afraid. I will talk


    some sense into him."


    Celeste hurried to follow him.


    Gary had long legs, and thus, in a sh, he had climbed up the stairs. His movements were


    extraordinarily quick.


    Celeste trotted upstairs and tried to catch up with him as she didn''t want to miss his room.


    When she saw Gary going up to the third floor, she followed as well.


    He only stopped and nced back at Celeste when he had reached a doorway.


    Celeste stopped and looked at him in a daze, a little hesitant.


    Gary''s expression changed as he asked, "Celeste


    White, who allowed you toe up here?" "Me," Celeste pursed her lips and stammered, "I wanted


    toe myself."


    Gary scoffed in a mocking manner.


    Celeste''s heart skipped a beat. But this time, she was determined, so naturally, she would not be


    stopped by his taunt.


    She mustered up her courage and stepped forward before she said, "I have to ask you again


    because I know that I am going to regret it if I don''te and ask you myself."


    Gary nced at her and narrowed his eyes. He then took a step forward, opened the door, and


    stepped into his room.


    Dumbfounded, Celeste hurried to follow him and entered the room.


    She stood at the door and saw that the room was spacious, with a toilet and a bathroom.


    Furthermore, his bed was huge, and the quilt was grey.


    The desk was humongous, and the bookshelves were filled with books.


    It was a typical boy''s room, grey and tough.


    For some reason, Celeste felt her heart aching a little. Why was his room so greyish?


    He always looked so gloomy, and he wasn''t a talkative person. The only time he spoke was when


    he was refuting other people, which always made people speechless. Nevertheless, she


    inexplicably wanted to get close to him.


    Gary did not sit down after entering the room. He just stood there and stared at Celeste gloomily.


    Celeste carefully looked at him. Before she could open her mouth, she heard Gary say, "This is my


    room. Don''t you think it''s dangerous for you to enter a boy''s room like this?"


    Celeste was a little confused and asked, "Isn''t this your home? Your house is so crowded. What''s


    the danger?"


    Gary frowned and a glimmer of light shed across his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and looked at


    Celeste. Did she really not understand, or was she just pretending to not understand?


    Celeste was still anxious about convincing him. "Gary, can you stop being so stubborn? Can''t the


    three of us go to the United States together?"


    Gary sighed. Was the reason she was so persistent was that she couldn''t part ways with Ernest?


    Gary''s eyes turned gloomy when he thought of how she had stubbornlye all this way just for


    Ernest''s sake. After giving it some thought, he opened his mouth and said, "Celeste, I am a very


    decisive person. I won''t stand in the grey area."


    "Huh?" Celeste widened her eyes as if she was trying her best to understand the meaning behind


    his words. She looked at his gaze as he looked at her. It was deep, filled with a lot of things he''d yet


    to say.


    "Whatever it is, I won''t let myself stand in the grey area. It''s either a yes or a no." He opened his


    mouth again, and there seemed to be a profound meaning in his tone.


    Celeste frowned and was puzzled. "I don''t quite understand what you mean."


    "I like what I like, and I won''t put up with what I don''t. I won''t persist with anything unreliable."


    However, Celeste still frowned.


    It seemed that she was still very innocent, and she didn''t understand any of this.


    Upon seeing this, Gary instantly became agitated. When he saw her puzzled expression, he forced


    a bitter smile.


    He didn''t have too much patience left, and he was already very patient with Celeste to begin with.


    "I think I understand now." Celeste blurted out after a pause. "You think I''m unreliable. I''m an


    unreliable person to you, aren''t I?"


    Gary was speechless. He turned to look out of the


    window. Under the sunlight, the garden outside the window looked extremely stunning.


    However, his heart was filled with indescribable loneliness.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    He fell silent. His handsome face was even gloomier, making it impossible for others to figure out


    what was going on in his mind.


    Celeste stared at him, and his silence seemed like tacit agreement.


    Hence, she felt a little depressed.


    A wave of helplessness surged in her, and in an instant, she lost all her courage. What reced it


    was dejection.


    Standing in Gary''s room, Celeste felt downhearted.


    Gary kept silent, and Celeste''s heart sank. She didn''t want to leave as it was too much of a pity to


    leave just like that.


    She gathered all her courage once more and walked towards Gary. Standing in front of him, she


    said, "Even if you think that I''m an unreliable person, Ernest is a good person. With your personality,


    it would be easier for you to interact with others if you were to study abroad with him."


    "Celeste White." Gary''s eyebrows twitched. He red at Celeste''s sad eyes and uttered in a deep


    voice, "This is my business. Who are you to


    intervene and tell me what to do?"


    Celeste bit her lip and felt depressed. "I thought we were ssmates, and I thought we clicked, yet


    you think that I shouldn''t meddle with your business. And after thinking about it, I guess I really am


    being nosy. I shouldn''t have been so, so do as you please."


    As she spoke, her eyes had already turned teary. She really felt that it was a pity, but she was also


    irritated. She couldn''t understand, for someone who had everything he could ever want, what was


    there to be upset about.


    "I''m sorry for disturbing you." After that, Celeste was about to turn and leave.


    However, the next second, Gary grabbed Celeste''s wrist. With a slight pull, she crashed into his


    arms.


    "Oof!" Celeste''s nose bumped into Gary''s chest. It hurt so much that she couldn''t help but grunt.


    However, Gary held her in his arms.
