True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1249

Celeste's heart did a flip. She raised her eyes and met his gaze.

This time, she didn't avoid; she merely stared at him.

They exchanged glances for over ten seconds.

Celeste regained her senses in silence as she found her ears feeling a little hot. She couldn't tell why, but she felt her heartbeat had increased a lot as well.

Gary didn't look at her anymore. He acted very calmly after that, "One last thing, it’s been an honor for me to meet every one of you here. See you guys again."

After that, he left the stage.

Everyone applauded.

His farewell was simple and calm.

Gary returned to his seat, took his backpack, looked at the homeroom teacher, then stood up to leave.

"You're leaving now?" The homeroom teacher was shocked.

Gary nodded, "I've already bid farewell to everyone, so I might as well leave now."

"Aren’t you going to at least finish this class?" The homeroom teacher was reluctant to watch him go.

"If I stay any longer, I'm afraid you'll cry,” after saying that, Gary left with a smile.

His smile seemed very warm but also lonely at the same time.

Looking at his back, it took a while for everyone to finally regain their senses.

Someone asked Ernest, "Ernest, when will you be leaving?”

"I'm not in a hurry," Ernest said with a smile, "I’ll let you guys know when I’m leaving.”

"Celeste," At this moment, the homeroom teacher called out Celeste's name.

Celeste looked at the teacher.

"Follow me to my office."

Celeste stood up, went out, and followed the homeroom teacher into the office.

"What's going on with you?" the homeroom teacher asked as soon as they entered the office, "I thought you were planning to go to the United States, but why did your guardian just inform me that you are now planning to further your studies in England?"

Celeste was taken aback. She hadn't expected her guardian to inform her teacher so quickly.

Celeste was a little surprised, but she still nodded obediently, "Yes, Teacher, I'm planning to go to England."

"Why did you change your mind all of a sudden, though?"

"Nothing, I just thought that it would be better for me to go to England, Teacher. You don't have to worry about me, once I'm in England, I can still send in my application to study in the United States if I wish to."

Staring at this innocent girl in front of her, the homeroom teacher could only nod. She knew that Celeste was a good, hardworking student, but at the same time, she was also very innocent when it came to worldly affairs, so it was surprising that she was still so confident.

"I don't doubt your capability, but I just find this sudden change to be pretty regrettable."

Celeste smiled and said, "Not at all. Perhaps, like what Gary said just now, we might meet each other again in the future, so I’m okay with studying anywhere since I believe that I will have the upper hand no matter where I am."

The homeroom teacher looked at her seriously and did not say anything for a long time.

After a long time, she sighed pitifully and said, "I thought that you would go to the United States with Gary. That child doesn't care about anyone. However, you managed to attract his attention. I thought you two would... Never mind."

The homeroom teacher waved their hand, not wanting to say more, and let Celeste leave.

The Jones family gathering was held the next day.

However, the star of the gathering, Gary, was not present.

Heinz looked at the guests and noticed Gary's absence. He immediately frowned and asked the butler, "Where is Gary? Where did he go?"

"Master Gary said he had to go out for a while and that the gathering can start without him. He will be back soon."

"How infuriating," Heinz muttered to vent his frustration. This child had always been out of his control since he was a child.

Ernest was waiting at home alone. The two of them were the stars of the day. Since Gary wasn't here, he could only stay and hold the fort by himself.

Meanwhile, Celeste was locked up at home.

After she came back, she told Miss Yates that she wanted to study in England and expressed her wishes for Cindy not to interfere with her, even if she was her guardian.
