Chapter 1539


    Looking at Celeste''s serious yet calm expression, Gary finally understood what it meant to block his


    own path. He was annoyed at the person who said those words.


    Now, he was unsure whether Celeste would let him rest with her or not, but he did not want to miss


    such an opportunity, so he smiled and asked Celeste, "Celeste, what if I tell you that I have changed


    my mind?"


    Celeste frowned. She looked at his cheeky face, gave him a cold re, and walked out of the


    cloakroom.


    What did she mean by ignoring his question?


    Gary looked at Celeste''s departing figure and followed her from behind. Was it a tacit admission?


    Celeste did not refuse him, and this thought instantly surprised Gary.


    "Celeste, you''ve agreed, right?" Gary asked her cautiously from behind.


    She immediately closed the door of her bedroom to try to keep Gary out.

    However, his hands and feet were too fast, and he stopped her from closing the door.


    The door could not be closed at all.


    She could only look up at him, and her face waspletely filled with embarrassment and


    usations.


    "Gary, don''t forget that we have already broken up," Celeste reminded Gary with a red face.


    Faced with Celeste and her cold attitude, the surprise in Gary''s eyes gradually faded away. A hint of


    embarrassment shed across his eyes, but then he shook his head and said, "Yes, we did break


    up. But Celeste, I told you that I will start pursuing you again."


    Celeste pursed her lips and answered in a deep voice, "Then, only think about that after you''ve


    seeded in pursuing me."


    Seeing how cold she was, Gary''s hand froze on the door. He paused for a moment before he pulled


    his hand back, and the door mmed shut.


    The two of them stood still on the spot. Each on different sides of the door.


    Gary took a deep breath. It seemed that he was still too anxious. He couldn''t change his attitude.


    He had hit a hard wall.


    He turned around angrily and went downstairs to the study room. When he arrived, he found that


    there was not even a quilt in the study room. In fact, there was not even a ce to sleep there.


    Even if he wanted to sleep there, he could only sleep on the floor.


    He went upstairs again and took a quilt from the closet of the cloakroom, then brought it downstairs


    and prepared to sleep on the sofa.


    Ever since Celeste closed the door, she did not move. She stood by the door and heard Gary''s


    footsteps leaving. He soon came up again. She heard the sound of him entering and leaving the


    cloakroom, and soon the sound of him going downstairs could be heard again.


    Celeste took a deep breath. She told herself that she could notpromise. She could not


    compromise no matter what.


    Their rtionship had always been fragile. If this went on and got even moreplicated, they


    would never be able to go far.


    She was d that she was the rational one right now.


    She returned to the bed and continued to study for a while.


    It was gettingte. She yawned and felt sleepy. She was ready to go to bed, so she covered herself


    with the warm quilt. Suddenly, she remembered that the study room did not have a bed.


    Celeste could not sleep soundly anymore.


    There was only one bed in this house. How could Gary sleep in the study room?


    There weren''t any extra quilts for him to sleep on the floor. Celeste could not help but worry. This


    was such a hard decision. She had clearly refused him, but she could not help herself from caring


    about him.


    As such, she immediately got up, tiptoed to open the door and went to the cloakroom to find the


    quilt. She found that the thin quilt had been taken away.


    It seemed that he had decided to sleep downstairs. Perhaps she had thought too much.


    At the thought of that, Celeste felt a little guilty.


    At this time of the night, the temperature was a little cold. After Celeste went downstairs, she saw


    Gary''s tall body lying on the sofa.


    His legs were very long, and his body was also very long. It made the sofa look tiny.


    The quilt was very thin, and he looked extremely tired. His eyes were closed and he was rubbing his


    eyebrows. She could tell that he was fatigued.


    Celeste stood by the stairs and stared at him for a while. Then, she opened her mouth and said,


    "Gary."


    Upon hearing her voice, Gary suddenly widened his eyes as he stared at Celeste, who was


    standing by the stairs.


    She was standing by the stairs and looking at him. At that moment, his eyes were filled with warmth.


    He asked in a gentle manner, "Celeste, what''s wrong? Why aren''t you asleep yet?"


    Celeste met his burning gaze and said with a serious face, "It''s really cold. It''s not appropriate for


    you to sleep downstairs, so bring your quilt ande up."


    Gary was slightly stunned. "You''ve agreed to let me sleep in the same room as you."


    Celeste corrected him immediately, "Gary, I didn''t mean to let youe up here. It''s just that there''s


    a w in your idea. There''s only one bed and the weather is very cold. I don''t want you to get sick.


    That''s all. You can sleep on the bed, but don''t even think about doing anything else."


    Looking at Celeste''s awkward expression, Gary sighed inwardly. His woman was really tricky. She


    could not help caring about him, yet she still pretended to be self-righteous.


    He did not tell her that. He merely smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I don''t intend to do anything else. I


    just want to be in the same room as you and watch you sleep. Then, I''ll be able to sleep tight as


    well. That''s all."


    Celeste blushed. He made it seem as if she was a woman who loved to overthink.


    However, she knew that Gary was definitely not a pure-hearted person. It was not like she had


    never noticed Gary''s perverted thoughts before.


    Not only did he have those thoughts, he would even try to take advantage of her.


    But seeing him curled up on the sofa alone, she still couldn''t bear it.


    She did not say anything else and turned around to go upstairs. Gary only spent a few seconds to


    curl up the nkets and quickly went upstairs. He strode with his long legs and arrived at the door


    of the room in just a few seconds.


    When he reached the door of the bedroom, Celeste had already pulled her quilt to one side of the


    bed. She gave him a pillow as well. After that, she left a huge gap in the middle and told him, "You


    can''t cross the middle line."


    Gary was stunned before he quickly nodded. "Don''t worry. I won''t cross the line."


    He put the thin quilt on the side of the bed and obediently ced his quilt on the side of the bed that


    Celeste outlined.


    After that, he began to take off his jacket.


    Celeste was stunned, and she turned around immediately.


    Gary did not take off all his clothes. He justid down in his T-shirt and trousers. Then, he looked at


    Celeste in the quilt and asked, "Is it very cold?"


    Celeste did not speak as she switched off the lights.


    Gary was stunned for a moment and thenughed. He took off his pants in the darkness.


    He could sleep better this way.


    Soon, Celeste''s voice came, "It''s gettingte. I''m going to sleep. Don''t turn around."


    "I know." There was slight happiness in his voice, which made Celeste feel guilty.


    Neither of them spoke.


    However, they could not fall asleep.


    It was a little cold. Celesteid in the bed, but she could not warm herself up at all. She felt really


    cold.


    Gary asked again, "Celeste, are you cold?"


    This time, Celeste asked him, "Do you feel cold?"


    She thought that Gary''s quilt was quite thin. Otherwise, why would he ask her that twice in a row?


    "No," Gary said, "but I think you are. Just now when we were outside, it was cold for me to touch


    your hands. Have you been really sensitive to the cold recently?"


    Celeste did not answer him.


    He was really thoughtful.


    She had indeed been in poor health ever since her miscarriage. Her hands and feet were always


    cold, and she seemed to have poor blood cirction too.


    "Yes," she replied softly.


    "Let me give you some warmth," Gary whispered.


    Celeste fell silent at once.


    Gary hesitated for a moment before he reached under the nket to touch Celeste''s foot. He felt


    that it was very chilly, and his heart tightened.


    However, when he grabbed her foot, Celeste almost jumped up. She screamed, "Gary, what are


    you doing?"


    Seeing how agitated she was, Gary smiled and said, "I just wanted to see if your feet are cold or


    not."


    In truth, Celeste felt that she had overreacted too. Was she too sensitive? He didn''t actually want to


    do anything to her, right?


    "Your feet are very cold," Gary worriedly spoke,


    "Come over and let me warm you up. Otherwise, you won''t be able to fall asleep."


    "No," Celeste refused him coldly.


    "Your period hasn''t ended yet, right? I won''t be able to do anything even if I wanted to," Gary tried to


    convince her.


    Celeste froze. It was true. Her period hadn''t ended, but she still felt embarrassed.
