True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1267

Celeste was stunned and asked, "Don't you have a phone?"

She did not really want to lend it to him.

"I don't have his phone number. I didn't save it in my phone, so it's better for me to use your phone," Ernest explained.

Celeste saw his hand reach over. His hand was very wide, and the lines on the palm of his hand were clear. Ernest didn't seem to retract his hand and just stretched it out in front of her.

She hesitated for a moment, but soon handed the phone to him.

Ernest took the phone and clicked a few times to scroll through her call history.

Celeste immediately noticed what he was doing with just one glance. Over the past few days, Gary had called her several times and it was listed clearly.

She pursed her lips, worried that Ernest would be jealous because of this.

Gary was his older brother, but he didn't call Ernest. Instead, he called Celeste several times over the week. Wouldn't that make Ernest sadder?

"Ernest, it's better not to call him. Let's find Maria first. She should be on the plane," Celeste urged.

"Don't worry," Ernest didn't look anxious at all. Instead, he was leisurely holding her mobile phone and had already dialed a number, "Maria hasn't arrived yet. I'm just going to say a few words to my brother and wait for Maria at the same time."

Seeing that the call had been made, Celeste was a little nervous, but she could only watch Ernest.

Ernest's eyes were calm, and he looked at Celeste with a sly expression. The phone started ringing.

Gary put down the phone and didn't feel sleepy. He went to get a cup of coffee. When the phone rang, he went back and found that it was from Celeste.

He was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit surprised. His eyes were filled with joy. Did she miss him?

She called back again in the short time before she boarded. It seemed that his efforts were not in vain.

Gary was incredibly delighted, so he couldn't hide his glee when he answered the phone. His voice was a little bit excited but very gentle at the same time, "Celeste, what's wrong?"

On the other side, Ernest was also stunned when he heard Gary's voice. He then smiled, "Gary, it's me, Ernest."

Upon hearing Ernest's voice, Gary's brow furrowed tightly in an instant. He asked sharply, "Ernest? You're using Celeste's phone?"

"Yes," Ernest laughed, "Gary, I'm using Celeste's phone to call you. I'm just worried that if I call you, you won't answer the phone."

"If you didn't use your phone, how would you know I wouldn't answer it?" Gary threw the question back and said with a chuckle, "You haven't boarded the plane yet?"

"Nope," Ernest also stayed calm and collected. The two brothers started engaging in conversation through Celeste's phone. Ernest said, "Gary, I have to thank you for persuading Maria to study abroad. In this way, Celeste, Maria, and I can take care of each other in England."

Gary understood what he meant as soon as he heard Ernest's words.

It seemed that Ernest was able to surmise that it was because of him that Maria had chosen to go to England.

"You're welcome," Gary replied, "Maria went to England to chase after her dreams. It's really good if you two could take care of each other. Ernest, you were so lonely when you were younger. You're going to be an adult soon. You'll be glad to have a clever girl like Maria to accompany you there."

"Brother, I'm sorry to have troubled you," Ernest chuckled, "You're alone in the United States, and it's no fun like that."

"Don't I still have Lowell?" Gary shot back, "You don't have to worry about me. Lowell is living with me now, so I don't feel lonely at all."

How could he forget Lowell?

Ernest sighed secretly, "That's good. I really forgot about Lowell."

"It's pretty cool," Gary's voice was unhurried as he commented, "Ernest, return Celeste her phone. In the future, use your own phone to call me if you miss me. Using a girl's phone will be impolite, and it'll be easy for you to take advantage of her privacy."

"Celeste doesn't mind," Retaliating with a smile, Ernest retaliated, "Gary, I know how to be polite. Don't worry. Celeste is not an outsider. Since she will be going to England with me, we're going to have a great time together."

After saying this, Ernest looked at Celeste with a playful expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Celeste widened her eyes wide in shock.

However, Ernest pretended not to see it.

He had lost this round.
