Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1258

After knowing what Celeste was thinking, Gary was flabbergasted. He immediately questioned Maria's words.

"Are you sure that Celeste asked you to say that?"

"Yes," Maria said. "She did express her thoughts in this way."

"I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"News about your idol," Gary replied.

Maria instantly whined, "Gary, can you stop threatening me like that? I'm really not lying. There's nothing I can do even if you don't believe me."

"Did she really say that?"

"Yes, I swear on my idol." Maria said, "Really, she said that if you really miss her, why don't you call her?"

"When have I ever missed her?" Gary instantly asked, "Maria, what did you say?"

Maria panicked and hurriedly explained, "Uh, Gary, I told her that you wanted her to call you."

"When did I say that?"

"Can you stop being so pretentious?"

Gary paused for a moment and fell silent.

"In my opinion, if you are a man, you should take the initiative. What's the matter?" Maria spoke again.

However, Gary had already hung up.

Maria stared at the phone and pouted. "What kind of person is this? If you like her, say it boldly. Why do you have to be so pretentious? Hmm? I seem to have forgotten something."

Maria frowned and thought about it for a while before she remembered. She screamed, "Gary said that he would give me the news about my idol. How did he forget such an important thing? He didn't even ask."

When Maria dialed the phone again, no one answered.

She was so angry that she clutched at her wrists. She still wanted to ask about it.

However, the call didn't go through even in the end.

This matter was delayed until the next day.

Maria went to look for Celeste during class break and pulled her to the corridor. She couldn't wait to ask about the situation. "How is it? Did he call

you?"

Celeste shook his head and said, "Do you mean Gary?"

"Of course, if not, who else will I ask?"

"No." Celeste shook his head. "Maybe he doesn't want to call at all."

"You call him then." Maria tried to convince Celeste again.

Celeste shook his head and said, "No."

"Why?" Maria didn't understand. "Why is everyone like this? If you don't call, you won't be able to get in touch with each other. Can you stand it?"

Celeste glanced at Maria and nodded gently. "I can stand it."

"I give up." Maria pouted and lowered her shoulder. "You guys really make me worry. Forget it; just do whatever you want. Don't let me pass the message anymore. I don't want to be a messenger again."

Awkwardness appeared on Celeste's face as she looked at Maria. She pursed her lips and said, "Maria, did Gary call you again last night?"

"Yeah." Maria nodded. The moment she finished speaking, she realized that she was talking about it after just making up her mind not to talk about this anymore. "Don't ask me anymore, Celeste, I've already given you his phone number. If you really don't want to call him, I won't bother. Anyway, I'm quite busy now."

"Alright then." Celeste didn't continue to force Maria to say anything. She only felt that it was a little strange. Why did Gary refuse to call her? Why did he want Maria to pass the message?

In short, she did not call him.

After Celeste went back, her phone was kept on.

She looked at the phone from time to time, but there was no incoming call.

It was not until ten o'clock when the phone rang.

She ran quickly to answer the phone. When she saw the caller ID, her excited expression instantly switched to disappointment.

She took a deep breath and picked up the phone. "Hello, Miss Yates."

"Miss Celeste, Miss White wants to talk to you," said Miss Yates.

That night, she still hadn't received a call from Gary.

Just like that, another three days passed.

The journey to England was getting closer and closer, and Celeste was getting more and more anxious. However, she didn't get a call from Gary.

Finally, at noon, when she returned, she couldn't stand it anymore and called Gary.

She felt that the time difference over there should be late at night or even midnight.

Regardless, she still decided to call.

The phone rang for a while, and then a slightly husky voice sounded, sounding very impatient. "Who is it?"

He spoke tersely.

Celeste immediately recognized the person on the other end of the line. It was Gary.

Although it was hoarse, she was able to recognize immediately that it was Gary on the other end.

At that moment, Celeste's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

She was a little excited and a little nervous. Perhaps she was too nervous. She lost control for a second and hung up.

After she hung up the phone.

Only then did Gary react. He frowned as he glanced at the call. It was too late, and he didn't look at the caller ID. The moment he saw it, he instantly realized that it was Celeste.

He immediately knitted his brows, and his eyes twitched for a few moments.

He took a deep breath.

Gary waited for the call to come again, but the phone did not ring.

Gary waited for a full five minutes.

D*mn it, she called and teased him, then hung up the phone without saying a word.

Was she fooling around with him?
