True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1230

Back in the classroom.

It was time for the seniors to have their lab class.

When Celeste returned to the classroom, she heaved a sigh of relief. She swore that she could still hear the echoes of the phone call.

Gary had told her on the phone, "It's nothing, it's just a date. Since we are still in the country, we should go on a date, or else we might regret it."

Hearing these words, Celeste's heart started to thump wildly. A date?

Wasn't this exclusive to couples?

A date?

They were schoolmates and had just known each other for half a year. It was just a coincidence that both of them skipped grades and they were sent to study in the United States together.

And now a date?

Weirdly, she was even looking forward to the date.

"Celeste, Celeste."

A voice interrupted Celeste's chain of thouqhts.

She turned around and saw Maria Lowe standing in the corridor.

In a trance, she regained her composure and hurriedly said, "Hey, Maria, what are you doing here?"

"I saw that you weren't around, so I went looking for you. What were you thinking about just now? You looked like you were in a daze."

"Oh, nothing," Celeste shook her head and said, "I was about to enter the classroom. I'll be heading abroad next week, are you sure you don't want to follow?"

Maria shook her head and shrugged, "I'm not going to skip grades. I might feel very lonely, but I do agree with my father's point of view. You can't enjoy the three years of your senior high if you skip grades. I think it's such a waste."

Celeste pursed her lips and nodded slightly, "Well, your dad does have a point. Life is just so complicated and everyone has their thoughts about how to live their lives. It's fine if you don't skip grades, just continue to be yourself.'"

"Why do I feel like I'm going to regret it after listening to your explanation?" Maria's pretty face had a sly look on it as she grinned, "Hey, I heard that my cousins initially didn't want to skip grades, but when they heard that you are skipping grades, they immediately decided to do the same too."

Celeste was stupefied, and a trace of shyness flashed across her face. Her face was also a little flushed. She avoided eye contact and shook her head, "I didn't know. Is that true?"

Maria blinked, and her eyes lit up. She looked very smart as she commented, "Of course it is! I know my cousins very well. They are smart and fast learners. Initially, the three of us were having so much fun together, but once you said that you wanted to go abroad, they immediately decided to go abroad too."

"But I thought Ernest was going to England," Celeste retorted immediately.

Maria burst into laughter, "About that, do you really think that Ernest is really willing to go to England?"

"Does he not like it there?" To Celeste, the reason behind a decision was either because they were interested to do so, or they were forced to. Most of the time, people would do something because of their interest, but going abroad was something she was forced to.

She couldn't continue to stay in the country. She did not want to bring down her mother since Cindy had quite a reputation in the entertainment industry. If Cindy did not want Celeste to be seen in public, she would have no choice but to leave.

Otherwise, it would be extremely exhausting for her.

"Ernest had no choice but to go to England," Maria answered bluntly, "I am quite sure of it."

"You're sure?" Celeste pulled Maria to the side immediately. When the two of them were finally alone, Celeste asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Tell me."

"Ernest and Gary drew lots, and Ernest picked to be sent to England. I know that they did so to be separated, and I would assume that the reason is because of you."
