Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1427

Celeste really didn't expect him to say something like that, which surprised her a lot. It seemed that he wasn't as strong-willed as she thought.

Celeste was joyous.

Gary and Celeste only went back at night. Celeste saw Janice sitting on the lobby's couch as they returned to the hotel.

Upon noticing them, Janice immediately walked toward them with a smile and said, "Hey, you guys are back."

After sending out the message, Celeste didn't receive Janice's reply anymore. She was amazed to see Janice was waiting for them in the hotel lobby.

"Yes." Celeste nodded.

Seeing that Celeste looked at her magnanimously, Janice smiled and said, "Thank you, Celeste. Flynt was very nice. We had a lot of fun. He told me to tell you he has left."

Hearing that Flynt had left, Celeste felt a little sorry for what happened that day. After all, it did seem impolite and inconsiderate.

"Okay," Celeste nodded slightly.

Gary put his arm around Celeste's shoulder, ignoring Janice, and said, "Let's head upstairs and get some rest."

"Sure," Celeste agreed.

"Wait," Janice stopped them.

When Celeste and Gary turned their heads around in unison, they saw Janice smiling awkwardly as she asked, "Um, Can I have a few words with Celeste alone?"

Gary frowned slightly and said, "Why?"

"Why don't you head upstairs first." Celeste said, "It's probably something between us girls."

"I don't think there's a need for that." Gary said, "Let's just head upstairs."

Celeste didn't say anything; she just stared at him.

Gary frowned but gave in at the end. Helpless, he said dotingly, "Alright, I'll head up and take a shower first. But if you're still not back after I'm done, then I'll come down and take you away."

"Sure," Celeste nodded.

Gary left without looking at Janice at all.

Janice pursed her lips. She invited Celeste to sit down as soon as Gary left.

Both of them sat in the lobby.

She wasn't sure what Janice was going to say. She just thought that she had something to say, but there wasn't any need for it.

Celeste wasn't dumb; she naturally knew her message got to Janice. Perhaps she really had feelings for Gary. Otherwise, she wouldn't bear Gary's disdain and mockery.

"Miss Simpson, if you have anything to say, just lay it all out," Celeste said.

Janice looked up with a smile, then said, "you're quite a straightforward person, Miss Celeste."

"There's no need to waste time," Celeste said, "I believe you must have your reasons for coming to Scotland alone. It requires courage. Not every girl could do it."

Janice was startled. She laughed self-mockingly, "It's true. I do like Gary very much."

"I can see that. Thanks for telling the truth." Celeste said.

"I am not an unscrupulous person. I was quite confident that I had a chance. But I didn't know he has a girlfriend he loves deeply, which surprised me a lot." Janice was quite honest.

Celeste nodded and admitted, "It's true that we kept this matter to ourselves. I don't blame you for not knowing. I can only apologize."

Janice shook her head and said, "Yeah, I know now, but he doesn't know my feelings for him. Over the years, I've been thinking that maybe it's not that he doesn't know, it's just he just doesn't bother to know."

Celeste was rather uneasy, but Janice's honesty made her admire her a little.

Celeste paused for a moment and said, "Miss Simpson, even after four years, you still didn't get your wish. Maybe it's just that you two aren't meant for each other."

It was the first time Celeste had been so frustrated. How could someone be so cocky? No wonder she didn't like Janice much before.

Celeste originally thought she was petty, but now it seemed that Janice was definitely trouble.

There was indeed a reason for her sensitivity.

"Whatever, Miss Simpson," Celeste advised faintly.

When they reached the second floor, Janice looked at Celeste before going into her room. "Are you staying with Gary now?"

Celeste stopped and looked back at her, "This is between him and me. I don't have an obligation to report to you, do I, Miss Simpson?"

"Of course," Janice nodded and smiled. "Then it seems that you've really slept with Gary."

Celeste looked at Janice with a frown. She didn't have much anger but only calmness. "It's really between him and me. There's no need for you to know."

After that, she headed upstairs.

Behind her, Janice continued, "Having sex too early with him will only make him forget about you by the time he goes back to Boston. A woman who's easily obtained will not be cherished."

Celeste stopped in her tracks and smiled. She looked at Janice condescendingly and said, "Miss Simpson, it's much easier not to be cherished when a woman would not leave a man alone."

Janice pursed her lips tightly, and her expression changed.

Celeste smiled and went upstairs.

Soon, she returned to her room. Celeste sent a message to Gary saying she had returned and reminded him to call her after his shower.

She went to take a shower. Thinking of what Janice said, she felt a little annoyed.

After she took a shower and changed, Gary was already knocking at her door.
