True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1261

"I won't be happy if I don't say it," Maria snorted, "Avoidance isn't the way to solve the problem."

"What do you want to say?" Ernest smirked and looked at Maria calmly.

"Celeste is in love with Gary," Maria came clean.

Ernest was stunned for a moment before shooting Maria a cold glare. He smiled lightly and said, "She's 16 years old, so what does she know about love?"

"Age is just a number," Maria retorted, "You know that in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it."

"What should I admit?" Ernest asked.

Maria chuckled in response, "Ernest, don't cover it up. I know that you also like Celeste."

Ernest looked up at her.

Maria also looked at him.

After a few seconds of silence, Maria suddenly said, "Don't be angry. I won't tell her."

Ernest frowned, "Maria, spouting nonsense is not

funny at all."

"Are you referring to Celeste's relationship with Gary, or the fact that you also like Celeste?"

Ernest furrowed his brows. After a long while, he mumbled, "You know what I mean."

"Ernest, I always thought you were a smart person. Honestly, it is not good for you to let Celeste go to England," After saying that, Maria shot him a sweet smile and turned to leave.

She was quite disappointed, but it was understandable. It was love, and everyone wanted to strive for it.

Of course, he would fight for it at all costs.

From this point of view, Ernest was not wrong.

However, she didn't know why she was more inclined to help Gary.

When she was younger, she told herself that she would sabotage Gary the day he fell in love.

However, she didn't do it.

Seeing that Maria had left, Ernest also followed her quickly.

"Maria," they walked side by side as he asked, "You're going to England because of Gary right?"

Maria looked embarrassed. She smiled and felt a little guilty, but then she shook her head and explained, "Ernest, I'm going to England because of my idol. After all, my idol went to England. I'm not Celeste. It's difficult for me to act on impulse just because of friends."

"Looks like you've reached an agreement with my brother," Ernest guessed that they were having an agreement or something.

Maria just smiled and didn't want to admit it.

"Ernest, you're a smart person. In my heart, you're much smarter than Gary. You're someone who knows what you're doing."

"Don't try to flatter me," Ernest shot back, "I helped you a lot when I was a child. Maria, the way you treat me and Gary is unfair."

"I admit it," Maria didn't cover it up and said coolly, "I sympathize with the weak."

She was talking about Gary. Because of Gary's pretentiousness, he was weaker in many aspects, while Ernest got over things easily. Therefore, in Maria's understanding, Ernest was a strong person.

"Who is the weak and who is the strong?" Ernest asked.

"Is that even a question?" Maria shrugged it off, "Of course you're the strong one."

Ernest suddenly smiled bitterly. He glanced at Maria, a dejected feeling flashing through his eyes as he sighed, "Maria, ever since the day I was born, everyone knew that my brother is a strong person. He always does what he wants to do. No one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do."

Maria looked at his bitter smile. Suddenly, her chest tightened and she looked away guiltily.

Ernest's expression really scared her. She had never seen such a look on his face.

She could only lower her head and refused to look at him.
