Chapter 1751
Maria was excited when she saw Celeste calling her.
She greeted Celeste as soon as she answered the call, "Hi Celeste. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas." Celeste greeted her with a smile on the other end. It seemed like she was in a
good mood. Their trip to Boston must have been sessful.
"Look at you. You seem to be happy. It looks like you are having a good time there," Maria smiled,
"Does Gary know how to cherish you and take care of you now?"
"He has always known how to." Celeste was a little embarrassed. She was even blushing through
the phone.
Maria smiled. "Oh, you''re so protective of Gary. When has he ever needed your protection? Are you
trying to protect him by saying good things about him?"
"I''m not protecting him, I''m just telling you the truth," Celeste became serious. "Gary is doing very
well recently. He is also quite busy."
"What about you? Have you gotten used to life in Boston?" Maria looked at her concernedly.
Celeste nodded. She was wearing a white top, which made her looked even more beautiful.
"Not too bad. I enrolled after I got here, and it''s Christmas break now. We''re resting today. He went
out to settle some stuff, and I got upte," Celeste smiled. "Uncle Lowell is here too. He''s taking
good care of us."
"Lowell?" Maria immediatelyughed, "Celeste, you''re being too honest. You''re the only one who
calls him Uncle Lowell. All of us call him by his name."
"That doesn''t sound right," Celeste felt very embarrassed. "Lowell is Aunt Smith''s and Uncle Jones''
younger brother. Even though our age gap isn''t that big, he''s still an elder."
"Okay, call him that if you want," Maria didn''t want to argue with her over it. "By the way, a very
important friend came over. Do you want to guess who it is?"
Celeste was surprised as she looked at Maria''s excitement. She kept looking back as she spoke. It
was as if she was looking at something.
On the other side, Leah stuck out her tongue and made faces at Maria.
Maria turned her phone over to Leah''s direction.
Coincidentally, Celeste saw Leah making funny faces.
She was pulling her eyes and sticking out her tongue. She looked cute and a little scary.
"Ah!" Celeste was startled. She let out a shriek.
Leah immediately put her hands down and looked serious. She looked at the video and quickly
apologized, "Sorry, I didn''t mean to scare you."
Celeste heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the unfamiliar voice. She looked at her carefully and
greeted her sheepishly. "Hi, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Celeste." Leah greeted her politely.
Celeste was surprised to see such a beautiful girl.
Maria turned the camera away and faced it back at herself. She told Celeste, "Did you see that?
She''s a real beauty."
"I saw." Celeste could tell, but because they hadn''t been formally introduced, she dared not be too
straightforward. "She is really beautiful."
"Guess who she is," Maria said. She stared at Celeste and continued to ask, "Guess?"
Celeste thought for a while and said, "It''s impolite to guess like this. It''s embarrassing to guess in
front of her." "It doesn''t matter. She won''t get angry so easily,"
Maria answered.
"If I''m not mistaken, she must be in a rtionship with Ernest, right?"
"Amazing." Maria gave Celeste a thumbs- up. "You''re really amazing, Celeste. You even guessed
who she is."
"Is it really Leah?" Celeste guessed.
"Yes. She''s Leah."
Maria came and sat next to Leah. The two of them looked at Celeste.
"Hello Leah, I''m Celeste. Nice to meet you," Celeste greeted politely.
Leah also greeted her happily. The two girls had finally met each other.
The three of them chatted for a while. Soon, someone arrived at Celeste''s ce.
"I think Gary is back." Celeste looked at them and said, "I''m sorry, Gary has returned. I need to help
him. Let''s talk another day. Again, Merry Christmas."
"Since Gary is here, why do you still have to help him?" Mariained at once.
Celeste quickly exined, "He brought a lot of things. I''m going to help him bring them in. That''s all.
Bye."
With that, the screen went ck.
Celeste hung up the phone.
Leah and Maria looked at each other and smiled.
"What do you think?" Maria asked Leah.
Leah smiled. She didn''t say anything.
"Why aren''t you saying anything? Or is it that you don''t dare say anything?" She asked.
"She looks like a little obedient wife. Celeste is so obedient. We should learn from her."
"She''s too honest," Maria sighed. "She''s too gentle and considerate. She''s not Gary''s match at all,
but they''re perfect for each other."
"When ites to a rtionship, it doesn''t matter if they are suitable or not. It isn''t up to others to
see how they get along with each other. Perhaps we think we are suitable, but others might not
think the same way. It is the same with marriages. Although the couple obviously isn''t a match for
each other, or at least, other people think that they''re not a match for each other, but they''re actually
suitable for each other." Leah held her script and continued to read.
Maria looked at her. She sat down and nodded. "Yes, I think you are right."
"Let''s stop talking about Celeste," Leah smiled bashfully, "In front of Liam, you are an obedient little
wife too."
Maria''s eyes instantly widened. She looked at Leah, squealed and rushed towards her, "Aren''t you
the same when you are in front of Ernest? How could you say that about me?"
"We all are," Leah said, "I''m usually a tough girl. When I am in front of a guy I like, I will turn shy and
blush. But I''m not as bad as Celeste. You''re probably somewhere between the two of us."
"Yourment is spot on." Maria agreed with Leah.
The two of them were intertwined with each other and smiled happily.
They suddenly heard the sound of someone coughing. It was as if he was coughing on purpose.
The two of them were stunned and looked up in the direction of the stairs. Ernest was standing on
the stairs. He watched the two girls who were intertwined with each other.
Leah was pressing down on Maria. They looked like a couple in love.
If it weren''t for the fact that they were both women, people might have misunderstood them and
thought they were getting intimate.
When Leah saw Ernest''s expression, she was shocked and quickly released Maria.
She looked at him in a daze and exined, "Don''t misunderstand. We were just having fun."
Ernest smiled, but he wore a strange expression. He might have been smiling, but the look on his
face was deterring. It made people tremble with fear.
Leah saw him walking towards her. There was a sense of oppression. He stopped in front of her
and looked down on her.
"Having fun? You seem to be very energetic. Have you regained your strength?"Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Leahined in her heart.
Maria added, "Ernest, Leah is really strong. You should tire her out more often. Don''t hold back or
she won''t sleep with you. You will be very lonely."
Leah immediately red at Maria and gritted her teeth, "Maria."
"I''m just telling the truth." Mariaughed triumphantly.
Ernest nodded. "Maria is right. I don''t think I have to hold back anymore."
Leah''s heart jolted. She looked at Ernest and changed the topic. She tried to get on his good side.
"Ernest, why did you wake up so quickly? You haven''t slept enough. I think you should sleep a little
more. Only then will you have enough energy."
Ernest didn''t say anything. A different atmosphere lingered in the air. His gaze fell onto Leah''s face
and he wasn''t as gentle as before. There was a kind of power surging from him. It was as if he was
going to knock Leah out and do something to her.
