Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1295

"What are you doing, Ernest?" Celeste was shocked. By the time she came to her senses, she was already in his room.

The door closed behind them.

Celeste looked at Ernest in astonishment. She saw Ernest frown as his eyes became gloomy for a brief second.

She was stunned and froze on the spot.

This was not the Ernest she knew.

"Celeste."

Ernest seemed very hesitant, but he still continued to say, "Don't be afraid. I just want to tell you that you don't have to torture yourself for others."

Celeste was a little surprised by his words.

Celeste was slightly bewildered. She wasn't sure if Ernest was referring to Liam or Gary.

Therefore, she replied, "I admit that I am affected by the news."

"You know that I'm not talking about the news," Ernest interrupted Celeste instantaneously.

Celeste was stunned. She looked carefully at

Ernest, her eyes filled with incredulity.

Ernest also looked straight into her eyes.

They exchanged glances.

Ernest could clearly see that Celeste's eyes were bloodshot. That was the aftermath of not having a good night's rest.

"Look at you," He said again, "Your eyes are bloodshot. Your face is pale. You've tortured yourself beyond recognition."

Celeste pursed her lips and suddenly realized something. Was Ernest referring to Gary?

"You...!" She asked uncertainly, "You're referring to?"

"My brother," Ernest said bluntly.

Celeste was stunned. She couldn't believe that he knew.

Ernest could not stand her looking at him with her helpless eyes. He looked away and explained, "You're not suitable for my brother."

Celeste's heart skipped a beat. She found it difficult to breathe and felt a little ashamed.

She pursed her lips as her mind went blank. In the end, she said, "Ernest, you're overthinking things. Gary and I don't have anything between us. We're just classmates, just like you and me."

She emphasized the end of her sentence.

Ernest was dumbfounded.

Instantly, he laughed self-mockingly.

"Sorry, I misunderstood," His expression was dark, "I thought there was something between you and my brother."

He seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say all those suddenly. He laughed apologetically to Celeste.

"It's alright then. Let's go."

Celeste realized that his expression was sickly. It was like the blood had drained from his face.

Celeste narrowed her eyes. She turned around and opened the door, planning to leave.

However, the moment she lifted her gaze, she saw Heinz.

His sharp eyes swept over the two and just happened to fall on Celeste's face. At that moment, Celeste felt very uncomfortable.

Heinz narrowed his eyes and watched Celeste walk out of Ernest's room. When she realized what he was looking at, her face instantly turned pale.

At that moment, Grace was right behind Heinz. When she saw that Heinz did not move, she patted him and came out from behind him, only to realize the scene in front of her.

Suddenly, Grace was also a little surprised.

Celeste only felt embarrassed.

She hesitated as she didn't want to be misunderstood. She quickly explained, "Mr. Heinz, Mrs. Grace, I had something to discuss with Ernest."

"Oh, it's okay," Grace said quickly, "You two are classmates. It's normal to talk."

However, the way she spoke was so quick that it was almost sure that she had misunderstood them both.

Celeste didn't know what to say, so she could only smile awkwardly and get ready to go downstairs.

She left first.

Behind her, Heinz and Grace did not move.

Ernest appeared at the door and looked at his parents calmly.

Some time later, Heinz and Grace both walked over.

Heinz stared sharply at Ernest and scanned him from head to toe.

Ernest smiled. It seemed that he didn't care and didn't feel guilty at all.

"Dad, let's go downstairs. I'm a little hungry."

Grace also looked at Ernest. She was confused by her son's smile because she couldn't see through him.

She shot a suspicious glance at Heinz, and their eyes met. The tacit understanding that they had with each other for many years made Heinz instantly block his son's way.

Maria was surprised that Celeste insisted on leaving.

At that moment, even Ernest was slightly stunned.

Soon, Liam's driver came to pick up Celeste. Celeste had already packed up her bags.

Everyone watched her get in the car and leave. When she said thanks to everyone, Maria didn't know what to say.

With that, Celeste left.

She got in the car and told the driver to go back to her apartment.

However, she didn't expect to see the well-dressed Liam waiting downstairs of her apartment.

She had asked for help from Liam before because she was worried about living there. She felt guilty and didn't know how to face Heinz and Grace.

Liam promised to send a driver to pick her up, but Celeste did not expect that Liam would come personally.

"Liam, why are you here?"

"I wasn't assured," Liam said to her, "Come on, let's go upstairs."

With her luggage in his hand, Liam and the driver walked with Celeste all the way to her apartment.

Soon, they arrived upstairs.

The driver left first.

However, Liam didn't go.

"Celeste, I have something to tell you first," Liam took off his sunglasses, mask and hat, revealing his handsome face.

"What's the matter?" Celeste put her luggage aside and looked at Liam.

Liam seemed to feel sorry as he said, "I still decided to inform Miss White. After all, your whereabouts are important, and you're not an adult yet."

Celeste had told Liam not to tell her aunt, but she didn't expect that he would still do so.

She was dumbfounded and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, I understand."

The truth was that she was indeed not an adult.

"Celeste, Miss White doesn't seem to be very happy," Liam didn't know if it was right or wrong for him to tell Cindy.

Just then, there were a series of knocks on her door.

Celeste was stunned. She walked to the door and looked through the peephole.

It was Cindy.
