True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1299

But the next second, she felt rather embarrassed, "Ernest, why are you here?"

Ernest looked at her and acted as though he wasn't searching for her intentionally. He just said, "Just a coincidence."

Celeste stood up. She had been squatting there for a long time, thinking about what she should do next.

She had no idea how long had passed since she was there.

She stood up and found that her legs had gone numb. Consequently, she stumbled the minute she tried to walk over.

"Be careful," Ernest immediately reached out and supported her. He looked at her worriedly and asked, "What's the matter? Can't feel your feet?"

The moment Celeste regained her balance, Ernest let go.

He stood in front of her and just stared at her. A few seconds later, he asked, "How long have you been here?" "Not for long," Celeste shook her head and said, "Ernest, you can leave if you have something to attend to. I'm also going to leave."

"It's too late. I'll send you home," As Ernest was saying, he took out his phone and silently sent a text to Liam, "I've found her, she's at the school. Don't worry, I'll try to think of a way to bring her back to her apartment."

Celeste happened to see the screen of his phone and found that he was texting Liam.

"Are you texting Liam?" Celeste asked with a hint of caution in her eyes.

Ernest looked at Celeste and admitted, "It's not a coincidence that I happen to be here. Liam called me and asked me to help look for you. I'm just lucky to find you at school."

After hearing that, Celeste instantly fell silent.

Ernest glanced at Celeste and saw that her eyes were watery. He explained, "He didn't tell me anything, he just said that it was family matters."

Celeste was a little relieved when she heard this. She said to Ernest, "Ernest, I'm fine. Don't worry, I won't be in trouble."

"It doesn't matter if you encounter some obstacles. You can always come and look for either me or Maria. We are willing to help you. I'm just afraid that you don't treat us as friends."

In fact, after saying those words in his room in the morning, Ernest still felt awkward when Celeste decided to leave right in the afternoon.

But now, he was more worried about seeing her in this state.

Celeste nodded, "Thank you, Ernest."

However, she knew that there were some things that others just couldn't help her with.

She could not always depend on others.

She needed to rely on herself to solve the obstacles she was facing.

For now, her priority was resolving the issue with her guardian.

"You don't have to be polite with me. Come, I'll send you back to your apartment."

The moment he finished speaking, the phone rang.

He took a look at the phone and didn't hide it from Celeste, "Liam is calling."

Celeste nodded.

Now she had calmed down and was clear that Liam no longer had the obligation to look after her or to care about her. Now that she realized that Liam had gone around looking for her after she had left on her own, she felt extremely guilty and embarrassed.

She told Ernest, "Answer the phone."

It was only then that Ernest picked up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Liam's voice could be heard, "How are things over there, Ernest?"

"Everything's fine. We are heading back to the apartment now."

"Great. I'll be waiting for you guys at the apartment. You should come along too and help me persuade Celeste."

Although Ernest had no idea what was going on, upon hearing Liam's words, he knew that something serious might have happened.

"Alright, I'll see you in a bit."

Thus, they went back to the apartment and met up with Liam.

The three of them opened the door and walked in together.

It was only then that Liam let out a sigh of relief, "Celeste, it's good that you're back."

"Mr. Robinson, thank you," Celeste thanked Liam sincerely.

Liam shook his head and said, "It's fine. Celeste, you have to think before you act so impulsively."

"I've already made up my mind," Celeste assured him, "I'll contact my aunt tomorrow and apologize to her."

Liam glanced at her and felt slightly suspicious at her sudden change of attitude. However, he soon smiled because he felt that it was natural for a child to have mood swings. Since Celeste had finally realized her mistake, he was relieved.

"It's good that you understand. If that's the case, I'll head back first. Take care of yourself."

"Alright."

Ernest was also very delighted when he heard Celeste's words. He said to Liam, "I'll follow you back too."

Hence, they left Celeste's apartment together.

Before leaving, Ernest glanced back at Celeste. Seeing that she had lowered her gaze in a seemingly deep trance, Ernest narrowed his eyes. However, he said nothing.

When they went downstairs, he asked Liam, "What's going on? Did Celeste have a quarrel with her aunt?"

"Yes," Liam nodded and sighed, "They had a really huge fight and neither of them wanted to back down. They even wanted to cut off all ties."

Ernest was stupefied and looked up at Celeste's apartment with suspicion.
