True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1235

"He uses my mother's maiden name," Ernest explained. "My mother raised him up since birth. It wasn't until we were five that our parents got together. Hence, that's why his last name is Smith. He never changed it."

"That's weird. It doesn't sound like something he would do."

"My brother is very persistent. Once he's made up his mind, he is not going to change."

As Ernest spoke, his eyes fell on Celeste, as if he was implying something.

However, Celeste was unaware of this. She nodded and sighed, "Your brother has quite an excellent character. Persistence is not something anyone has in them. Most people would give up once they come across an obstacle, and it results in them missing out on a lot of opportunities."

"He's probably going to remain loyal to the person he loves forever. I just can't imagine him marrying someone who is not his first love."

"Is he seeing someone?" Celeste asked in surprise.

"It's unrequited love." Ernest's eyes lit up as he stared at Celeste, watching her frown.

"The girl doesn't know about it?" Celeste was taken aback. "I don't see him treating any girls with affection or kindness. Could it be that she's someone outside of school? That's why he always looks like he's daydreaming. Perhaps he was thinking about that girl?"

"Yeah, that girl doesn't know my brother has feelings for her." Ernest also sighed, feeling helpless.

"Really?" Celeste shrugged. "That's a shame. Your brother has fallen in love with a girl way too early. Is he bored or something?"

Ernest opened his mouth, and there was a strange look in his eyes. He guessed this was what hopelessly helpless meant.

He had to hand it to Celeste.

Could she be any more clueless?

Everyone could see how obvious it was, but she just couldn't see it.

Nevertheless, he was also glad.

Because of this, she seemed cuter.

Because of this, Celeste gave him another chance.

However, he didn't like using these methods to win.

It was better that they had a fair competition.

Celeste murmured to herself, "Why does he want to be in a relationship at such a young age? He is only sixteen. Shouldn't it be time to study? Isn't it a waste to waste all that time in a relationship?"

Ernest didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Staring at the hesitant face in front of him, he only felt helpless.

How much more innocent could she get? She didn't want to be in a relationship herself; is she also going to stop people from having a crush?

He wasn't sure when Celeste was going to understand how the world worked.

Whether it was him or his brother, they both had to have enough patience to wait for her to grow up.

"You don't want to be in a relationship?" Ernest asked the question he had in mind.

Celeste came back to her senses and shook her head. "No, why should I be in a relationship? I'm going to study abroad. I think dating is a waste of time."

"Sure." Ernest shook his head and chuckled. Then, he said with a bitter and helpless tone, "You're very promising." "You think so too?" Celeste said with a smile, "I also think that we should strive to be someone successful."

Ernest fell into silence.

After giving it some thought, he was still at a loss for words.

Finally, he looked at the night sky and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"No, I'll take the bus. It's just a few blocks away."

"Alright, let's go together." Ernest insisted. "I'm also taking the bus."

"Don't you have a chauffeur?"

"My brother has gone home with the driver. It's fine. I'll go back by myself. Let's go. I'll send you off first."
