Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1355

Her thoughts were racing. Celeste felt her hands and feet turn cold at that moment.

She came to her senses and quickly clarified, "I did not say I wanted it."

"You didn't want it? Why is it in your bag then?" Gary looked up at Celeste with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He sneered, "You didn't expect me to find it, didn't you?"

The minute he thought about the fact that Celeste was the girl that Liam liked, he felt angry.

Moreover, the jewellery that Liam had bought was in Celeste's bag. This made him very upset.

Seeing that he was in a rage, Celeste's heart was also in turmoil.

She knew that she had to take responsibility since he was blaming her.

She should have returned it to Liam at the airport.

But she had left it back then.

Celeste never thought that she would interact with Liam, nor did she ever think that she would receive a gift from him. She did not even want an apology present from him.

But now, Gary had misunderstood her.

She knew that she had not handled the situation properly.

Even though he had hurt her, Celeste still felt that she had done something wrong. That was why he was so angry.

"Gary, I'm sorry," She apologized softly.

Upon hearing Celeste's apology, Gary's pupils constricted and his heart pounded violently. He moved forward and placed his hand on Celeste's shoulder.

Celeste felt pain on her shoulders instantly.

She struggled for a moment but was unable to break free. This caused Gary to exert more force down on her.

"You admit that you accepted the gift? Do you have something to do with him?" Gary's eyebrows furrowed as he questioned.

"No," Celeste shook her head. She was shocked and denied it immediately, "There is nothing between us. It's a misunderstanding."

Gary didn't believe her.

"A misunderstanding?" Gary tightened his grip, "Do you know that I was the one who accompanied Liam to buy this necklace? Back then, he told me that this necklace was meant to be given to the girl he liked."

Celeste closed her eyes. She was unable to comprehend Gary's words.

Her face also turned pale.

No wonder Gary was so angry.

He was a proud person. He could allow other boys to like the girl he liked, but he would absolutely not allow his own girl to betray him.

It seemed that Gary had come to the conclusion that she had betrayed him.

Celeste was very sad and remorseful.

A look of distraught flashed across her face as colour drained from her face.

In Gary's eyes, this kind of behavior was a form of guilt. It was because she was guilty that her pretty face had turned pale.

He lost control as his hands tightened on her shoulder.

It hurt.

Celeste felt as if the bones in her shoulders were about to shatter. She looked at Gary with a sorrowful look as she begged for him to let go.

"Gary, it's painful."

Gary felt as if he was suffocating. He felt as if his heart had shattered into pieces.

He was about to die from anger.

He could not help but loosen the grip on her. Even if he was angry, he could not bear to hurt her. After all, he cared for her.

However, at the thought of the relationship between Liam and Celeste, Gary could not help but be filled with rage.

The look in Gary's eyes turned cold completely.

"I really don't have anything to do with Liam," Celeste looked at him and pleaded, "Can you trust me?"

"How can I trust you? This necklace was given to you by Liam at the airport today, right?" Gary roared.

Celeste was stunned again. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

Indeed, Liam had given her the necklace at the airport that afternoon.

"You met him at the airport today. You went alone, right? Why didn't you ask Maria to accompany you?" Gary growled, "Other people may not know that Maria likes Liam, but you're her best friend. Don't you know?"

Celeste pursed her lips in fear. She knew that if she retreated, he would be angrier.

She knew him well.

She knew his pride. He looked strong, but in fact, he didn't have much confidence and lacked a sense of security.

Eventually, she still summoned up her courage as she reached out and covered the big hand on her shoulder, her every muscle still trembling with each movement she took.

"Gary, I have not betrayed you," Celeste insisted softly.

Gary didn't say anything and only looked at her coldly. His eyes were filled with anger and suspicion.

He was livid.

Celeste shrank her neck subconsciously. If it had been four years ago, she might have cried and run away.

The first thought that would have come to her mind back then would have been to escape.

But now, she knew that she could not run away, nor should she run away.

Although Celeste felt extremely wronged, she couldn't help but look at him in discomfort with her teary eyes. She whispered, "It's alright if you don't believe me. Do you not trust in yourself either?"

Gary's entire body stiffened. His face was extremely gloomy.

His gaze flickered, a complex emotion stirring in his eyes. It was as if Celeste had accidentally hurt him with her question.

At that moment, Celeste's heart ached.

She took in a deep breath and was about to open her mouth to speak again. However, a figure loomed above her and suddenly blocked the light illuminating her face.

Celeste froze for a moment as her lips were sealed.

No, Gary bit her hard.

He was like a beast, not giving her a chance to speak at all. He was punishing her in this way.

All of a sudden, Celeste felt sorrowful.

She lifted up her hand and wanted to push him away, but she eventually didn't. Instead, she held him in her arms.

She felt very sad.
