Chapter 1383


    The butler did not know the true rtionship between Celeste and Gary. When he heard that Gary


    was going to bring a girl back home, he immediately assumed that the girl was Gary''s girlfriend.


    "No," Gary frowned and quickly stopped the butler from making wild guesses, "Stop talking


    nonsense."


    "She isn''t?" The butler said with a heartyugh, "Master Gary, I understand now. She''s not your


    girlfriend, just a friend who is a girl."

    Although the butler said that he understood, his heart wasn''t thinking the same way.


    Since Master Gary was willing to bring a girl back home, his rtionship with this girl must be


    extraordinary.


    Hearing the butler''s perfunctory tone and his shady tone, Gary''s brows furrowed even more.


    He nced at Janice, who was sitting next to him.


    Janice was also looking at him.


    She bit her lips while fluttering her big eyes. She had put on bright, cherry red lipstick today, making


    her lips seem unnaturally scarlet.


    Gary was a little shocked by her lip colour when he saw her at the police station. He thought that


    her lips were so red it could scare people away. Back then, he had teased her, "You''re not Janice.


    Aren''t you a vampire?"


    Janice saw him and started bursting into tears after she heard him tease her. She hugged Gary


    tightly, as though he were her savior. At that moment, she looked so pitiful.


    "Alright," The butler didn''t seem to care anymore and continued to ask, "Master Gary, should we let


    this youngdy stay in the room that used to be yours?"


    Gary was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, the butler added, "Master Gary, are


    you guys staying together in the same room? Or are you staying separately?"


    "No," Gary refuted lividly, "Arrange a new one for her. Mr. Butler, is there something wrong with your


    ears? Do not mess it up."


    "Sure!" The butler replied immediately.


    Secretly, he was amused that Gary sounded flustered.


    "Get another room for her. Aren''t there a lot of empty rooms in the house? Do not simply touch


    rooms that already belong to other people. Just allocate the guest rooms that are empty," Gary


    instructed once again.


    "Sure, Master Gary. I''ll arrange a new room for her," The butler quickly hung up the phone and went


    to clean up the guest room.


    As soon as Janice saw Gary hung up the phone, she looked at him with a grin, "Your butler is so


    funny."


    "Why do you say that?" Gary nced at her and asked, "What did you hear?"


    "Your butler actually misunderstood that I was your girlfriend," Janiceughed yfully at him, "He''s


    too funny! Doesn''t he know that you have a girlfriend?"


    Gary nced at her in silence after hearing her statement. He did not say anything.


    "It seems like he doesn''t know," Janice shrugged, "Hey, by the way, why didn''t you bring your


    girlfriend along?"


    "She had something to do today," Gary answered.


    "Oh," Janice curled her lips and said regretfully, "Too bad. I didn''t get a chance to see your girlfriend.


    I would really like to meet her someday."


    Gary did not feel like talking to Janice, so he drove quickly back to the vi.


    As soon as they entered the vi, Janice was amazed at how the surrounding felt very peaceful and


    quiet. It was as if everything here was slowpaced, unlike the hustle and bustle in the city.


    "This ce is really nice," Janice sighed, "Hey, are you living here now?"


    "No," Gary grunted.


    "Your girlfriend doesn''t live here too?"


    "Exactly."


    "What about your younger brother and cousin?" Janice asked again.


    "They''ve gone back home."


    "Does that mean I will be alone?"


    "There will be a butler, servants and a driver," Gary exined calmly, "You won''t be alone. There will


    be plenty of food for you, and you also get a ce to stay. Shouldn''t you be satisfied?"


    Despite his words, Janice still looked at him andined sadly, "You are leaving me here alone,


    while you go off to enjoy life and spend time with your girlfriend?


    "Yes!" Gary snapped, "You''ve already disturbed me for a very long time today. What else do you


    want from me?"


    "I want you guys to take me along and show me around," Janice insisted, "I haven''t enjoyed myself


    enough here. Let''s hang out together, it would be


    so much fun!" "I am not avable."


    "Will your girlfriend be free?"


    "She won''t be free either."


    "It would be so boring for me to stay here alone."


    "Then forget about it," Gary said coldly, "I''m telling you, I only took you in for the sake of Lowell. If


    you don''t want to stay here, you can always say no."


    "Okay, okay! I''ll stay here, alright?" Janice rolled her eyes and pouted grumpily while ring at


    Gary, "You''re really heartless,"


    "There''s no need for me to be too nice to you," Gary did not even try to be polite. He was already


    very nice and patient towards her all day long.


    Janice pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Fine, I actually have to thank you for taking me in.


    Otherwise, I''ll still be living on the streets now."


    "It''s good that you know," Gary did not say much. He just wanted to send Janice to the vi and


    consider his job done.


    After getting out of the car, the butler came to wee them.


    "Master Gary, wee back," The butler greeted him first and saw a beautiful girl next to him. He


    weed her brightly, and told Gary, "Master Gary, I''ve arranged for this guest to stay in the room


    next to yours on the third floor." "Okay. It is now your responsibility to take care of her," Gary handed


    Janice over to the butler and was ready to leave.


    The butler was stunned and eximed, "Master Gary, aren''t you staying here too?"


    "No," Gary added, "You''re in charge of taking care of her. Just give her some food and make sure


    she doesn''t die."


    The butler was bewildered for a moment. Gary was being too careless for bringing his girlfriend over


    but refusing to stay. Was it because he was feeling embarrassed?


    Gary was about to leave immediately when he suddenly thought of something. He stopped in his


    tracks, took out a card from his pocket and tossed it towards Janice.


    "Take it. The password is thest six digits of my number."


    "There''s money inside?" Janice smirked.


    "Yes, but not a huge amount. You can use it first. Remember to return it to me when you get back to


    Boston," Gary was serious, "That includes the amount of money you''ve spent."


    "Okay," Janice immediately kept the card in her pockets and chuckled, "I''ll give it back to you as


    soon as I get back to Boston, plus the interest too.


    Are you happy now?" "Forget about the interest," Gary said, "For Lowell''s sake, I won''t ept your


    interest."


    "Then should I say thank you to Lowell too?" Janice nced at Gary, "You always do things for his


    sake. Why can''t you help me just for me?"


    "If it was because of you alone, do you think I would have even cared about you?" Gary replied


    without hesitation.


    Janice was stunned for a moment. She then rolled her eyes at him, pulled a face, and grabbed her


    own luggage unwillingly.


    As soon as she turned around and saw the butler, she immediately smiled, "Hello, sorry to bother


    you for the next few days. My name is Janice Simpson. You can call me Janice."


    Seeing how naturally the girl behaved, the butler was not sure whether she was Gary''s girlfriend. He


    hurriedly replied, "Don''t worry about it, Miss Simpson."


    Meanwhile, Gary could not be bothered about what Janice and the butler were talking about. He


    had already driven away.


    The butler watched the small squabble unfold before him and was confused. What on earth was


    going on?


    It was indeed very hard to figure out Gary''s thoughts.


    Was Janice Gary''s girlfriend?


    No matter what, this was a youngdy that Gary had brought back, so they had to take care of her


    carefully. Who knew what kind of rtionship they had? Nothing would go wrong if they took care of


    her properly.


    Gary left after dropping off Janice. When he returned to Oxford, two hours had already passed.


    He drove his car into the garage.


    Celeste heard the sound of the gate opening. She walked out from the study, stood by the door, and


    looked in the direction of the garage.


    As Gary was walking in from the door, he looked up and saw Celeste standing there looking at him.


    He immediately smiled and walked towards her. Without saying a word, he reached out and hugged


    Celeste first.


    They gave each other a very warm embrace.


    Celeste took a deep breath in his arms, but she instantly caught the whiff of an unfamiliar fragrance.


    It was a very light scenting from his clothes.


    The scent did not belong to Gary.


    The aroma resembled perfume used by girls. It had a light scent, and Celeste recognized this


    familiar smell from back when she was living in the dormitory.


    Her heart dropped and she felt a little ufortable. Her body stiffened in an instant.


    "I''m sorry, Celeste," Gary apologized. His lips grazed past her ear and he kissed her earlobe, "I


    couldn''t keep youpany today,"


    However, Celeste did not say anything.


    She looked up from Gary''s arms and saw a red mark on his shirt. It belonged to someone''s lipstick.


    The red marks felt like thorns pricking her heart.


    When Celeste saw it, she suddenly felt hurt.
