Celeste looked down as her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was as red as a tomato. After a while, she nodded seriously.
Maria sat down at the edge of the bed and mumbled in a daze, "Oh my God. You... You two really did it. H-he is so fast!"
She really didn't expect Gary to be so quick.
Furthermore, she didn't expect Celeste to be so sure. They just met each other, but they already decided that they'll be together for the rest of their lives. Was that even possible?
Celeste knew that Maria was her best friend. She would not hide anything since they were that close to each other.
Although it was a little embarrassing, she still didn't hide it from Maria.
"You should keep this to yourself. I still don't know what to do about Aunt Smith. In short, I feel a little sorry," Celeste lowered her head, "But I don't want to miss out on Gary."
Maria nodded. Instead, she admired Celeste very much.
"Celeste, don't worry. My aunt has suffered a lot, but she is smart and has always been good to you. Maybe she took you in as her future daughter-in-law?" Maria comforted her, "Don't worry about what my aunt will say. Did you forget that she has been helping you and Gary all this time?"
Celeste stared blankly for a moment. She was a bit hesitant and mumbled, "Did she?"
Why didn't she feel it before?
"Doesn't she always video call Gary in front of you? She's trying to create opportunities for you two with video calls."
Celeste thought for a while and nodded.
It seemed that there was a time like this.
It was true. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that Grace would video call Gary in front of her every time and then get them to call each other
That was especially true when he came to London for the first time.
Now that Celeste thought about it, she realized that if it wasn't for Grace asking her to speak to Gary after those video calls, it might have been difficult for her to get along well with him.
Grace actually created opportunities for them to get along.
After that, there were a few times when she and Gary had quarreled. Gradually, they started to understand each other.
"Think about it. Didn't it occur many times?"
"Yes," Celeste nodded her head. "Now that I think about it, it seems that there really was such a thing."
"So, don't worry about my aunt," Maria was really surprised by Celeste and was excited. She continued to pry, "Hey, Gary was the one who took the initiative, wasn't he?"
With this question, Celeste's blushes that finally faded a little returned in a flash. Her entire face was once again scarlet.
She smiled awkwardly and nodded as she was too shy to look at Maria.
"Haha, I'm right! If he hadn't taken the initiative, you wouldn't have taken the initiative either," Maria couldn't help but snicker, "Your personality is like that of a lamb led to the slaughter."
She had known Celeste for a long time, so of course she knew that Celeste would not make the first move.
"I'm not that slow, am I?" Celeste seemed to protest, "If I'm not willing to concede, he won't be able to do it even if he wants to." "Huh?" Maria was shocked. After listening to Celeste's explanation, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Celeste, you really shocked me. When did you suddenly become so bold?"
