Chapter 2058
Chapter 2058
A series of things happened, causing negative emotions to build up in Celeste's heart.
She felt like she was the bringer of bad luck, destined to live a lonely life.
She had no close relatives.
Even Cindy, who brought her up, was still in detention and under investigation. The results had yet to be made public too.
That in itself was bad enough.
Although she was not the cause, Celeste still felt that she had indirectly brought bad luck to Cindy.
She was in a bad mood now.
Upon hearing Celeste praising Janice, Gary frowned.
No matter how he interpreted it, her emotions seemed wrong.
"What's so good about her? She does things by hook or by crook. She's shameless, and she doesn't know when to stop. Are these reasons to make you admire her?" He asked.
She was stunned for a moment, and a surge of
She shook her head.
Upon seeing this, he tightened his grip on her hands and she frowned.
She was sad and uncomfortable.
He was trying his best to be patient with her and had even lowered himself to beg her.
But the answer he got was no.
He was sad.
Celeste's heart throbbed with pain and it was getting hard to breathe. It was as if someone was squeezing her heart.
"So am I no longer qualified to touch you?" Gary asked again.
This was what he wanted to know, huh?
Almost subconsciously, she nodded.
He was startled as he held his breath. After which, a helpless smile crept onto his ashen face.
"Alright, I understand," he said with a muffled voice.
Looking at his expression, she felt another tight squeeze on her heart.
Gary let go of Celeste's hands, took one step back, then another.
There was some distance between them now.
He stood there, staring at her, and said in a hoarse bitterness filled her heart.
She did admire people like Janice, who did whatever they wanted to get what they wanted because not everyone could go all out like Janice.
It was because she knew she couldn't do the same.
As Celeste pondered, Janice's proud smile flashed across her mind.
Somehow, she couldn't get rid of the thought that Janice and Gary were a match made in heaven.
Every time she thought about those days in Scotland, her heart would hurt.
At that time, Janice had told her several times that she would not give up on him and even arrogantly said that Celeste was not suited to be with Gary. If all she brought was bad luck, leaving Gary would probably make him happy.
Anyhow, she didn't want to curse him or his family.
She wanted, from the bottom of her heart, for them to be happy.
Celeste lowered her head, looked at her toes, and said nothing.
Anyone who saw her would feel depressed along with her.
Gary could not hold back any longer. He walked voice, "Well, I respect your decision."
Had he respected her too much?
That he had lost the qualification to touch her?
Was this how it is going to be from now on?
No matter how reluctant he was, he had to give up.
Not only was she unhappy, but she was also rejecting everything about him.
They were in love, but she refused to let him touch her.
Gary knew that Janice must have sent that video to her.
Celeste's heart tightened, and she couldn't bear to look in his direction.
"Rest up in the room." He said, "I'm going out for a bit."
"Okay." She nodded, trying her best to look calm.

After all, she had seen it with her own eyes. It was different than imagining it in her head.
There was no way Celeste could deceive herself.
She could not trust Gary as she did in the beginning.
There was already mistrust between them that would only get worse over time.
She watched as he disappeared into the corridor and she didn't move a muscle until she lost sight of him.
She knew that she had made their circumstances even more awkward.
She sighed.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

to the room, her palms started sweating. She leaned against the door and burst into tears.
She could no longer control her emotions.
Celeste cried for a long time. Finally, she wiped her tears, washed her face, and calmed down.
Gary came back at dinner time.
It was almost seven o'clock by then.
Only when everyone was almost done eating did he enter the house.
Grace asked as soon as she saw him, "Where did you go?"
"I had something to do." Gary replied indifferently, "I'm going to change before dinner."
