Chapter 1355


    Her thoughts were racing. Celeste felt her hands and feet turn cold at that moment.


    She came to her senses and quickly rified, "I did not say I wanted it."


    "You didn''t want it? Why is it in your bag then?" Gary looked up at Celeste with a dangerous glint in


    his eyes. He sneered, "You didn''t expect me to find it, didn''t you?"


    The minute he thought about the fact that Celeste was the girl that Liam liked, he felt angry.


    Moreover, the jewellery that Liam had bought was in Celeste''s bag. This made him very upset.


    Seeing that he was in a rage, Celeste''s heart was also in turmoil.


    She knew that she had to take responsibility since he was ming her.


    She should have returned it to Liam at the airport.


    But she had left it back then.


    Celeste never thought that she would interact with Liam, nor did she ever think that she would


    receive a gift from him. She did not even want an apology present from him.


    But now, Gary had misunderstood her.


    She knew that she had not handled the situation properly.


    Even though he had hurt her, Celeste still felt that she had done something wrong. That was why he


    was so angry.


    "Gary, I''m sorry," She apologized softly.


    Upon hearing Celeste''s apology, Gary''s pupils constricted and his heart pounded violently. He


    moved forward and ced his hand on Celeste''s shoulder.


    Celeste felt pain on her shoulders instantly.


    She struggled for a moment but was unable to break free. This caused Gary to exert more force


    down on her.


    "You admit that you epted the gift? Do you have something to do with him?" Gary''s eyebrows


    furrowed as he questioned.


    "No," Celeste shook her head. She was shocked and denied it immediately, "There is nothing


    between us. It''s a misunderstanding."


    Gary didn''t believe her.


    "A misunderstanding?" Gary tightened his grip, "Do you know that I was the one who apanied


    Liam to buy this ne? Back then, he told me that this ne was meant to be given to the


    girl he liked."


    Celeste closed her eyes. She was unable toprehend Gary''s words.


    Her face also turned pale.


    No wonder Gary was so angry.


    He was a proud person. He could allow other boys to like the girl he liked, but he would absolutely


    not allow his own girl to betray him.


    It seemed that Gary hade to the conclusion that she had betrayed him.


    Celeste was very sad and remorseful.


    A look of distraught shed across her face as colour drained from her face.


    In Gary''s eyes, this kind of behavior was a form of guilt. It was because she was guilty that her


    pretty face had turned pale.


    He lost control as his hands tightened on her shoulder.


    It hurt.


    Celeste felt as if the bones in her shoulders were about to shatter. She looked at Gary with a


    sorrowful look as she begged for him to let go.


    "Gary, it''s painful."


    Gary felt as if he was suffocating. He felt as if his heart had shattered into pieces.


    He was about to die from anger.


    He could not help but loosen the grip on her. Even if he was angry, he could not bear to hurt her.


    After all, he cared for her.


    However, at the thought of the rtionship between Liam and Celeste, Gary could not help but be


    filled with rage.


    The look in Gary''s eyes turned coldpletely.


    "I really don''t have anything to do with Liam," Celeste looked at him and pleaded, "Can you trust


    me?"


    "How can I trust you? This ne was given to you by Liam at the airport today, right?" Gary


    roared.


    Celeste was stunned again. She wanted to say something, but she couldn''t.


    Indeed, Liam had given her the ne at the airport that afternoon.


    "You met him at the airport today. You went alone, right? Why didn''t you ask Maria to apany


    you?" Gary growled, "Other people may not know that Maria likes Liam, but you''re her best friend.


    Don''t you know?"


    Celeste saw that he was emotional as he questioned her. His eyes were bone- piercingly cold. It


    was as if he was questioning her for a crime she hadmitted.


    She wanted to exin, but she felt helpless and powerless.


    Seeing as Celeste was silent, Gary felt more ufortable. The heaviness in his heart could no


    longer be controlled.


    Meanwhile, Celeste pursed her lips and looked at Gary. She wanted to wait for Gary to calm down


    before exining.


    "Gary, calm down. Can you listen to my exnation?"


    Gary''s chest heaved. He was furious.


    He couldn''t calm down.

    The jewellery box was still in his hand. Both the ne and the jewellery box felt hot in his hand.


    He was so angry that he threw it away.


    Bang!


    The box hit the wall and it fell to the ground. However, Gary felt even more irritated.


    Celeste tried to stop him, "Don''t throw it. I was going to give it back to Liam."


    "You''re giving it back to him?" Gary sneered,"You''re afraid that I''ll break it, aren''t you?"


    Celeste froze, and she held her breath.


    He didn''t believe her at all. No matter what she said, she was in the wrong.


    To Gary, she had betrayed him.


    Although she really hadn''t.


    She felt guilty because she should not have brought the ne back. She should''ve found a way


    to return it. Even if she couldn''t find him, she should''ve given it to the airport staff for them to make a


    broadcast.


    However, she didn''t think so much at that time.


    She only wanted to return it to him when they met in the future or she would ask Ernest to send it


    back to Liam.


    Later, Gary had arrived. Now that he had discovered it, a misunderstanding had urred.


    In his heart, she was wrong because he was sure of her sins. That was because he was angry.


    Gary couldn''t help but tighten his grip on Celeste. It was painful as every vein on the back of his


    hand throbbed. Rage coursed through his blood and throughout his entire body.


    Celeste pursed her lips in fear. She knew that if she retreated, he would be angrier.


    She knew him well.


    She knew his pride. He looked strong, but in fact, he didn''t have much confidence andcked a


    sense of security.


    Eventually, she still summoned up her courage as she reached out and covered the big hand on her


    shoulder, her every muscle still trembling with each movement she took.


    "Gary, I have not betrayed you," Celeste insisted softly.


    Gary didn''t say anything and only looked at her coldly. His eyes were filled with anger and


    suspicion.


    He was livid.


    Celeste shrank her neck subconsciously. If it had been four years ago, she might have cried and run


    away.


    The first thought that would havee to her mind back then would have been to escape.


    But now, she knew that she could not run away, nor should she run away.


    Although Celeste felt extremely wronged, she couldn''t help but look at him in difort with her


    teary eyes. She whispered, "It''s alright if you don''t believe me. Do you not trust in yourself either?"


    Gary''s entire body stiffened. His face was extremely gloomy.


    His gaze flickered, aplex emotion stirring in his eyes. It was as if Celeste had identally hurt


    him with her question.


    At that moment, Celeste''s heart ached.


    She took in a deep breath and was about to open her mouth to speak again. However, a figure


    loomed above her and suddenly blocked the light illuminating her face.


    Celeste froze for a moment as her lips were sealed.


    No, Gary bit her hard.


    He was like a beast, not giving her a chance to speak at all. He was punishing her in this way.


    All of a sudden, Celeste felt sorrowful.


    She lifted up her hand and wanted to push him away, but she eventually didn''t. Instead, she held


    him in her arms.


    She felt very sad.
