Celeste was really surprised. What Gary said made sense. Their problem was a lack of absolute trust.
She was not confident.
He was too confident.
It turned out Gary knew all too well.
At this moment, Celeste felt warm in her heart. She also truly realized this man cherished her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about changing.
Someone as proud as him wouldn't change for someone easily.
She didn't say anything but rested her face on Gary's chest. This made him smile.
Celeste no longer actively got close to him. It was rare for her to make such a move.
Gary found it hard to control his emotions for a moment. He couldn't help but grin.
"Up to you." she said, "As long as Flynt and Miss Simpson don't have any objections, I have nothing to say,"
"They didn't seem to have any objections at all," Gary said, "C'mon, let's go tour around. We'll take a taxi back."
It was only then that Gary and Celeste had a genuine couple's trip.
They saw a lot of scenery and took a lot of photos.
Celeste's lips couldn't help but twitch when she recalled Gary said he has Parkinson's disease.
Celeste's phone beeped suddenly, and a message came in. It was from Janice.
"Miss White, I'm sorry. I didn't know you're Gary's girlfriend. I always thought you're his sister."
"I'm really sorry. It seems like there's a misunderstanding between us. I can assure you that Gary and I are just classmates and also friends with him and Lowell. That's all."
"Gary only said you're his girlfriend today. I was afraid that you'd misunderstand, so I wanted to send you a message to clear things up."
When Celeste saw this message, she was slightly stunned. She subconsciously looked at Gary.
"Did he tell Janice I'm his girlfriend?" Celeste thought.
She was flabbergasted.
At this time, Gary's eyes met with Celeste's. He was slightly taken aback. Then, he looked at himself. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me? Who's sent you a message?"
Celeste came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "Nothing. Janice sent me a message saying you told her I'm your girlfriend."
Gary nodded. Then, he brought Celeste to a long bench and sat down.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Celeste showed him the texts.
After Gary glanced over the message, he returned the phone to her. Then he grabbed Celeste and let her sit on his lap.
Startled, Celeste lowered her head to look at him.
He was also looking at her. The next second, he went forward and kissed her.
Celeste was stunned for a moment.
When his tongue intruded, she was still in a daze. What was he doing?
Unsure whether it was because of the message, Celeste didn't refuse, nor did she push him away. She seemed to be more at ease now.
In a daze, the photos from Janice's phone flashed through her mind. She thought that maybe Janice had feelings for Gary.
A girl would only keep a guy's photo in her phone because she liked him.
However, he did not seem to understand.
Celeste winced.
Her lips hurt.
After that, Celeste still sent a reply to Janice.
"Don't worry about it, Miss Simpson. Gary and I didn't reach an agreement before, and we almost broke up because of it. Fortunately, he's still here. Thank you for sending me this message and being honest."
Not long after she sent the reply, Janice sent another message. "That's good. I just want to explain that I'm friends with Gary, and we'll be nothing more than good friends in the future. I hope you won't misunderstand."
Receiving another message like that, Celeste was astonished to find that Janice kept telling her not to misunderstand.
Celeste frowned slightly and thought for a moment before replying to her. This time, for the first time, she made her stance clear.
"Miss Simpson, I don't mind that you're friends with Gary. It's just that I hope you would not cross the boundary. If you act overly familiar, people will definitely misunderstand."
"But now, you keep worrying that I might misunderstand, so let me tell you my thoughts. I can see that you like Gary; that's why you're so tolerant of his nasty behavior toward you. Also, I think the fact that you have photos of Gary on your phone says it all."
"I'm a petty person. Since you know about my relationship with Gary now, I hope you will abide by what you've just said. That will be best for everyone."
Celeste sent the message very quickly.
She knew her words were quite harsh.
But she didn't regret it.
After sending the message, she forwarded the same message to Gary as well.
After reading the message, Gary was stunned. He looked at Celeste and said, "You sent this to Janice?"
"Do you have any objections?" Celeste looked at him and asked.
Gary burst into laughter, "Very good. Rare that you would declare to outsiders. This is good."
Celeste was a little surprised. She asked in astonishment, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I?" Gary shook his head. "I'm very happy. That means you care about us."
