Chapter 1422


    "A-Auntie Grace..." Celeste was shocked.


    This was the first time that she felt a sense of unfamiliarity with Grace.


    Because Grace was too open-minded.


    "What are you so nervous about?" Graceforted her, "Go and have fun. I''ll video call youter."


    "Oh, okay," Celeste said.


    She could finally hang up the phone. Celeste peeked at Gary awkwardly. He was looking straight


    ahead. The corners of his lips were curled up, and there was a hint of yfulness in his eyes.


    "Was that Gary''s mom?" Janice asked Celeste curiously.


    "Mm," Celeste nodded blindly with her head down.


    Celeste was in a state of chaos; she couldn''t sit still.


    Gary seemed to be in a good mood as he smiled.


    "What are you smiling at?" Janice saw that he seemed to be smiling and asked curiously, "What did


    your mom say to you?"


    She thought he wouldn''t say it, but to her surprise, he did. "She wants me to give her grandchildren


    sooner. She has nothing to do, so she hopes to be able to take care of her grandchild."


    "What? With who?" Janice asked in surprise. "Your mom must be joking."


    Celeste''s face turned even redder. It seemed that not only had Aunt Grace told her but also Gary as


    well.


    What was he implying?


    Had he asked Aunt Grace to say it to her again?


    She felt really embarrassed.


    At this moment, Flynt took a look at the rearview mirror. His eyes twinkled, and he naturally saw that


    Celeste was blushing.


    He seemed to have felt something.


    But he didn''t say anything. He just drove the car quietly.


    "Hey, you haven''t answered me yet." Seeing Gary didn''t answer her, Janice couldn''t help but ask


    again.


    Gary answered indifferently, "Don''t bother. It would be with anyone but you."


    Janice argued, "What''s wrong with me?" "I am not interested in you," Gary said bluntly.


    Janice sneered and said, "Do you think that I''m interested in you?"


    "Then just shut up. You''re the only one mumbling all day long in this car. Don''t you get tired?" Gary''s


    tone was filled with disgust for her.


    "You see that? He is such a horrible person," Janice whispered to Celeste.


    Celeste was astonished. She kept having the feeling that their interaction was like children


    bickering.


    The atmosphere was rather amusing.


    However, Celeste was shocked by what she heard earlier. She couldn''t believe Gary actually denied


    Janice as his girlfriend and that Janice denied it too.


    Celeste couldn''t help but mumble to herself.


    Could it be that she had misunderstood Gary?

    But why did she constantly have the feeling that there was ambiguity and familiarity between them?


    However, it didn''t seem like there was anything now that she looked at it. Celeste was perplexed,


    and her mind was everywhere.


    In addition to what Aunt Grace had told her, she feltpletely lost.


    Flynt took them to Princes Street Gardens.


    The scenery was beautiful all year long. The famous Scott Memorial was ced in the middle of the


    garden.


    At a different area in the garden stood the world''s biggest and most unique Scond Floral Clock.


    They parked the car and strolled into the garden. Flowers bloomed everywhere; it looked gorgeous.


    "Take pictures of me, Gary," Janice made various poses in the garden and asked Gary to take


    pictures of her.


    Gary couldn''t care less about Janice. He took her phone and handed it to Flynt. He smiled and said


    politely, "Mr. Quartley, could you please take a few pictures for Janice?"


    Flynt was taken aback. He smiled and replied, "Mr. Smith, I think Miss Simpson would prefer if you


    did it."


    Gary pushed it back politely, "I have Parkinson''s disease; my hands are shaky."


    Flynt was baffled.


    Celeste was gobsmacked too.


    They were surprised Gary would mock himself like that.


    Flynt nced at Celeste with a quizzical look.


    Celeste could only pretend not to see him as she directed her gaze elsewhere.


    The scenery was gorgeous; it easily drew people''s attention.


    "Thank you," Gary shoved Janice''s phone into Flynt’ s hand straight away. He didn''t care if Flynt


    would mind or not. He was that domineering.


    Janice walked over to Flynt and said, "Can you help me, Mr. Quartley? The scenery here is just so


    beautiful. I must take a few good photos. Please take a few photos of me, Celeste, and Gary too."


    Since she put it that way, Flynt naturally wouldn''t refuse. He nodded with a smile and said, "Of


    course. Can you do it for Celeste and me too, Miss Simpson?"


    With a smile, Janice replied softly, "No problem, Mr. Quarterly. I''ll help you two to take some


    photos."


    Flynt nodded with a smile. Somehow, he felt that Janice was smart enough to figure out something.


    Gary put his arm around Celeste''s shoulder.


    Celeste was taken aback, and she tensed up. She wanted to break free from his embrace, but his


    grip on her waist was strong. He wouldn''t allow her to refuse.


    "Where are you going? We''re taking pictures." Gary said to Celeste.


    Celeste couldn''t walk away anymore. She could only look at him and demand, "Let go of me first."


    Gary wasn''t upset by her words and actions. He continued to hold on to Celeste and said to Janice,


    "Come, Janice, stand next to my sister."


    Janice saw that the way he hugged Celeste was very intimate. After a split second of daze, she


    stood next to Celeste and smiled brilliantly in Flynt''s direction. "Ready? One, two, three, cheese."


    Flynt took the photo.


    Celeste wasn''t acting like herself. This was the first time she took a photo with Gary.


    Besides, Janice was by her side, yet he held her intimately as if he was announcing. Celeste felt


    guilty.


    She could only pretend it was nothing and look into the camera.


    Flynt frowned unconsciously as he looked at them.


    "Done," He said after taking three photos.


    "Mr. Quartley, can you take a picture of Celeste and me only?" Gary asked as he passed his phone


    over to Flynt.


    Flynt was taken aback. He took Gary''s phone and a look at Celeste.


    Celeste twitched her lips.


    Gary walked to Celeste and put his arms around her again. Looking down at her, he whispered in


    her ear, "What do you think about Mommy''s word?"


    Her body tensed up. She felt that Gary did it on purpose.


    She could only whisper stiffly, "focus on the camera."


    A smile shed across Gary''s face as he looked at Celeste. His gaze was filled with love and


    affection.


    The scene was forever kept in his phone.


    Flynt was dumbfounded for a long while.


    Janice walked over and took a look at the photo. Something shed across her eyes.


    "Take a few more." Gary looked at them as they looked at him and Celeste. He reminded


    indifferently, "Make sure my sister looks good."


    Flynt smiled forcefully as he held the phone. "Celeste is gorgeous. She''s already gorgeous even


    without a specific angle." Gary said.


    "She is, indeed." Flynt could only agree.


    Janice, on the other hand, fell silent.


    Flynt took several photos of them, but Gary was never satisfied. He didn''t take his phone back


    either. Instead, he continued holding onto Celeste as they took photos around the garden.


    He really drove Celeste crazy. She couldn''t help but whisper, "What in the world are you doing? Let


    go of me first."


    "Take photos," Gary said demandingly, and his gaze was fierce. "There is no way I''m going to let


    you go and let him take advantage of you with the excuse of taking photos."


    Celeste was rendered speechless by his words.


    Seeing that she fell silent, Gary smiled, walked toward Flynt, and took his phone back.


    Flynt nced at Gary and said, "Please help me take a few photos with Celeste, would you, Mr.


    Smith? You''re fine with it, aren''t you, Celeste?"


    Flynt asked Celeste''s permission.


    Celeste nodded, "Yeah."


    Gary handed Flynt''s phone to Janice and said, "Let Janice do it. I have Parkinson''s disease. Have


    you forgotten?"


    Flynt pursed his lips andughed awkwardly, "I have, indeed."


    Janice took over the phone.


    Flynt brought Celeste to a rather nice background and was ready to take photos.


    Celeste''s phone suddenly rang.


    She took a look at it; it was Aunt Grace.


    She immediately said to Flynt, "I''m so sorry, Flynt. You guys go ahead. I need to answer Aunt


    Grace''s call first."


    As she spoke, she withdrew herself from Flynt''s side.


    Celeste saw Grace''s face as soon as she answered the call. She was still so beautiful, quiet, and


    elegant.


    "Celeste," Grace said.


    "Aunt Grace," Celeste greeted happily. "I didn''t expect you to video call me so soon," she continued.


    Grace replied, "Gary texted me and said you''re free right now, so I called."


    Celeste was dumbfounded. She subconsciously looked in Gary''s direction. He was already walking


    toward her with his phone in his hand. He nced at Flynt and Janice and said, "You two go ahead.


    My mom and Celeste''s video call usuallysts more than an hour. We''ll catch up with you guys


    later."


    Janice and Flynt were both stunned. But when Flynt saw Celeste was answering the call happily, he


    did not say anything more and nodded slightly, "let''s have a look there, Miss Simpson."
