Chapter 1364


    Celeste looked down as her long eyshes trembled slightly, and her face was as red as a tomato.


    After a while, she nodded seriously.


    Maria sat down at the edge of the bed and mumbled in a daze, "Oh my God. You... You two really


    did it. H-he is so fast!"


    She really didn''t expect Gary to be so quick.


    Furthermore, she didn''t expect Celeste to be so sure. They just met each other, but they already


    decided that they''ll be together for the rest of their lives. Was that even possible?


    Celeste knew that Maria was her best friend. She would not hide anything since they were that


    close to each other.


    Although it was a little embarrassing, she still didn''t hide it from Maria.


    "You should keep this to yourself. I still don''t know what to do about Aunt Smith. In short, I feel a


    little sorry," Celeste lowered her head, "But I don''t want to miss out on Gary."


    Maria nodded. Instead, she admired Celeste very much.


    "Celeste, don''t worry. My aunt has suffered a lot, but she is smart and has always been good to you.


    Maybe she took you in as her future daughter-inw?" Mariaforted her, "Don''t worry about


    what my aunt will say. Did you forget that she has been helping you and Gary all this time?"


    Celeste stared nkly for a moment. She was a bit hesitant and mumbled, "Did she?"


    Why didn''t she feel it before?


    "Doesn''t she always video call Gary in front of you? She''s trying to create opportunities for you two


    with video calls."


    Celeste thought for a while and nodded.


    It seemed that there was a time like this.


    It was true. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that Grace would video call Gary in


    front of her every time and then get them to call each other


    That was especially true when he came to London for the first time.


    Now that Celeste thought about it, she realized that if it wasn''t for Grace asking her to speak to


    Gary after those video calls, it might have been difficult for her to get along well with him.


    Grace actually created opportunities for them to get along.


    After that, there were a few times when she and Gary had quarreled. Gradually, they started to


    understand each other.

    "Think about it. Didn''t it ur many times?"


    "Yes," Celeste nodded her head. "Now that I think about it, it seems that there really was such a


    thing."


    "So, don''t worry about my aunt," Maria was really surprised by Celeste and was excited. She


    continued to pry, "Hey, Gary was the one who took the initiative, wasn''t he?"


    With this question, Celeste''s blushes that finally faded a little returned in a sh. Her entire face was


    once again scarlet.


    She smiled awkwardly and nodded as she was too shy to look at Maria.


    "Haha, I''m right! If he hadn''t taken the initiative, you wouldn''t have taken the initiative either," Maria


    couldn''t help but snicker, "Your personality is like that of amb led to the ughter."


    She had known Celeste for a long time, so of course she knew that Celeste would not make the first


    move.


    "I''m not that slow, am I?" Celeste seemed to protest, "If I''m not willing to concede, he won''t be able


    to do it even if he wants to." "Huh?" Maria was shocked. After listening to Celeste''s exnation, she


    couldn''t help but burst intoughter, "Celeste, you really shocked me. When did you suddenly


    be so bold?"


    Celeste was also stunned and smiled embarrassedly, "No. I''ve always been very bold." "Naha,


    that''s right," Maria couldn''t help butugh, "Ignore what I said. You''re very brave. Others are afraid


    of Gary, but you like him very much."


    "He''s outstanding," Celeste defended Gary as if it was a matter of fact, "He''s intelligent. Even if he


    doesn''t like to interact with girls, it just shows how pure he is."


    "Tsk, tsk," Maria realized that Celeste was defending Gary, so she clicked her tongue and sighed,


    "You really love him. In my opinion, these are all bad habits of his. To you, every trait of his seems


    positive."


    Celeste nodded seriously and continued, "It''s true. A boy who is pure and wary of others will never


    get along well with a girl."


    "That''s because of his horrid personality," Maria also insisted on sticking with her own argument,


    "It''s a personality defect."


    "Don''t tell me that the boy you like should be friends with all the girls?"


    "As long as he knows his limits, I think it shouldn''t be a problem," Maria shrugged and couldn''t help


    but chuckle, "Think about it this way. Gary doesn''t really like to interact with girls, but if he suddenly


    had a female friend who was rather nice to him one day, what would you think?"


    Celeste was stunned. For a moment, she fell into silence.


    "Just look at you, I know that you never really thought about it carefully," Mariamented


    solemnly, "If he has a female friend, does it mean that he could ce her in his heart as well? In


    fact, he may be treating the girl the same way as he is treating you now. Who knows? Maybe the


    two of you are in simr positions in his heart!"


    Celeste''s expression was slightly dazed. For some reason, a voice suddenly rang in her mind.


    It was the voice of the girl who called him that afternoon before they got intimate.


    Somehow, that voice came to her mind all of a sudden.


    Looking at Celeste''s silence, Maria was a little worried and tried to exin, "Of course, I just wanted


    to remind you that. Don''t think about it too much. As you said just now, maybe your opinion is right."


    Celeste didn''t speak. For a moment, she didn''t know what to say.


    "Well, don''t be absent- minded," Maria sighed heavily, "It''s really amazing. Both of you are so


    impulsive."


    Maria suddenly thought of Liam. She remembered how stubborn she had been to kiss Liam


    forcefully. Furthermore, she even said those mean words to him. She suddenly felt that she was too


    timidpared to Celeste.


    "Maria," Celeste finally came back to her senses and called out to her, "It''s not as if what you said is


    unreasonable."


    "Do you also think it makes sense?" Maria was a little surprised, "What changed your mind?"


    "Nothing," Celeste shook her head, "I think that no matter what happens, it''s fate. I don''t want to


    think too much about it. I just want to be brave once. If not, how will I live my life? For the sake of


    Gary, I don''t think I''m wrong."


    "It''s great that you can think of it this way," Maria grinned, "You''re brave. That''s right, I should learn


    from you."


    Celeste was momentarily taken aback and immediately thought of something. After a moment''s


    hesitation, she decided to ask Maria, "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you something. Is Liam


    still important to you?"


    Maria was stunned by Celeste''s question, and there was a hint of frustration in her eyes. She smiled


    bitterly and pursed her lips. She didn''t want to admit it, but when she thought of Liam''s phone call,


    she eventually revealed her thoughts, "I never changed my mind about him."


    Celeste was astonished. This time, she really couldn''t believe it.


    Only now did she realize that Maria''s feelings for Liam had never changed.


    That was why she chose to be in the same school as Liam.


    Many things in life could be construed as hints. It was clear that Maria wanted to be together with


    him.


    She looked at Maria and encouraged her, "Then let''s be brave this time. No matter what the result


    is, we won''t know until we try."
