Chapter 1262
"Oh my God, I''ve been waiting for such a long time. Finally, I''ve got a workable answer," Maria
looked up at the sky and sighed.
She was waiting for Celeste to understand that affection and friendship were not the same. Now, it
seemed that she gradually understood how rtionships worked.
"Why do you say that?" Celeste frowned and didn''t understand the intention of Maria''s words, "What
do you want to express? Can you tell me clearly?"
"Am I not clear enough?" Maria looked at Celeste with a smile and said, "My dear, how are you so
good at studying when you''re so foolishly naive?"
"When I concentrate on doing one thing, I won''t be distracted," Celeste exined, "I love studying."
"Okay, I get it," Maria surrendered to Celeste, "You win. What I mean is that you finally realized that
your feelings for Gary are different from those for Ernest."
It was only now that Celeste understood. So this was what Maria was referring to.
"Why are you so concerned about my feelings towards Gary?" She was puzzled.
"Haha, I''m not overly concerned. Wait, no, I can''t say that. I just think that the two of you are a good
match. Gary''s attitude towards you is different from the other girls."
"Didn''t you discover this a long time ago?"
"Duh," Maria''s eyes widened as she smacked her lips, "Of course, I found out a long time ago, but
you didn''t understand it at all. Things were so hard for me back then."
"What''s so hard about that?" Celeste didn''t know whether tough or cry. Her face was as red as a
tomato, which made her a little embarrassed. She tried tough it out, "I just never thought about
such issues before. We are only sixteen years old. If we think about these things so early, isn''t it a
waste of our time?"
"Don''t talk to me like you''re 80," Maria shook her head in distaste, "In my opinion, you have to be in
love when you are young. If not, who would be willing to fall in love with you when you''re older?"
Celeste widened her eyes and was shocked by Maria''s words.
Maria gave her concluding remarks, "Look at us now. Our faces are so moist and supple, I could
probably squeeze water from it." "That''s an exaggeration," Celeste didn''t spare her any nice words.
"Don''t you understand metaphors?" Maria rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You''re too boring. You''re
just like Gary, a whole party pooper. I tried my best to illustrate the situation, but you ruined the fun."
"Okay, tell me," Celeste expressed her intent to listen respectfully and not interrupt, "I''m listening."
"Oh, are you finally interested?" Maria blinked her eyes and asked.
"I think so," Celeste nodded in embarrassment and added, "I''m open to hearing what you have to
say. Maybe you''ve got a point."
"Of course I do," Maria said confidently, "From now on, you can enjoy the process of dating. If you
get into a rtionship when you are in your mid-20s, you will be married after a period of time. If
you can find a good husband, then it''ll be fine. If you can''t find a good husband, you''ll have to
divorce him. It''s better to start early just in case."
"But, what if from now on, when I am in my twenties, I find that this is not what I want? What if we
break up then?" Celeste raised her own doubts in a timely manner.
Maria''s eyes widened and she took a deep breath before eximing, "Oh my god, you''re always
able to point out the essence of the problem directly. Are you holding onto this idea and nning to
find another person you like when you are in your twenties?"
Celeste shook her head and said, "No..."
"Then you admit that you like Gary, right?" Maria took advantage of the fact that she had won and
threw out this sensitive question.
It was then that Celeste realized that she had been tricked.
Her mouth fell open and her face turned redder.
Gary''s kiss shed in her mind again. It reyed like a movie, and it was so very passionate.
The night before he left, the scene of him watching her from the window downstairs was also
reying in her mind.
She thought, "My feelings for Gary are different."
"You''re blushing like no tomorrow," Maria teased, "Seems like you really like Gary."
"Mm," Celeste nodded in agreement, "I think I like him very much."
"That''s my girl," Maria was ecstatic, "You have to be clear about Gary and Ernest."
"Ernest is a friend," Celeste said firmly this time, "I know you''re reminding me about that."
Maria was even more satisfied with that answer. She kept nodding and saying, "It''s good that you
understand my warning. Since Ernest and Gary
are brothers, don''t ever cross that boundary."
Celeste agreed and promised, "I know. Don''t worry."
"Now, what if I say that both Ernest and Gary like you at the same time, what are you going to do?"
Maria asked a difficult question as she wanted to see what the obtuse Celeste would think.
She did not expect Celeste to get so surprised all of a sudden. Celeste looked at her in shock and
said, "Impossible, that won''t happen. Didn''t you say that we can''t have the cake and eat it at the
same time? I''ve already chosen Gary."
"But you''re going to study together with Ernest," Maria raised an eyebrow at her.
Celeste took a deep breath and said, "I didn''t understand it before, but now I know what''s going on
and what I should do."
"Naha, good girl," Mariaughed. She felt more relieved on Gary''s behalf.
That evening, Maria called Gary and told him all this.
Gary did not speak after hearing this.
However, Maria took all the credit and asked, "What do you think? Celeste has grown up. I''ve also
warned Ernest for you. Are you happy now?"
Gary sucked in a deep breath and said coldly, "Can you not think too highly of yourself?"
"Me?" Maria was taken aback by the usation, "Why do you say that?"
"Maria, Ernest is a smart man. He doesn''t need anyone to remind him. If you do, it''ll only make him
even more rebellious," Gary''s voice came from the other end of the line. It was a very low growl.
Normally, he would only speak in such a tone when he was really worried and angry.
Maria wanted to refute, but she found that she couldn''t find the right words.
"Celeste is too simple. Her mind is not on these matters, so you shouldn''t remind her or force her to
make a choice."
"D*mm it, I''m doing this for your own good. How dare you say that to me?" Maria exploded in an
instant. Then, she yelled at Gary, "Don''t expect me to help you in the future."
After that, she hung up the phone.

When Gary called again, Maria didn''t answer.
Gary was very worried, and he waited for Celeste''s call. However, after calcting the time, he
found that Celeste still hadn''t called him despite it being 11 at night in Northern City.
Hence, he had to call her.
The phone only rang for two times before
Celeste''s slightly trembling voice was heard.
"G-Gary."
Gary smiled.
It seemed that Celeste was very excited to receive his call, so she was probably waiting for him to
call her.
