True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1414

The car left the parking lot quickly and soon got on the highway. Celeste could no longer see Janice.

She didn't know how Janice was at the moment.

If she was the one who was left in the parking lot in that way, she would probably break down crying.

Although Gary had ridiculed Janice a few times, Janice was still able to smile. To put it bluntly, Celeste kind of admired Janice.

At the very least, she felt that Janice was a very optimistic girl. Otherwise, who would be able to withstand Gary's fierce firepower?

"It's better for us to go back," Celeste couldn't hold herself back, "It's not appropriate for us to leave a girl like her like this."

"I know this attitude of mine is very vile and not gentlemanly at all," Gary explained, "Furthermore, I also know that if I were to act like a gentleman and go back to pick her up, you wouldn't feel comfortable with that."

Celeste was stunned for a moment. Then, she frowned slightly.

"Celeste, what on earth do you want me to do?" Gary didn't seem angry. His tone was calm and he even glanced at Celeste before saying, "I don't want to talk to her, but you force me to do so. When I talk to her, you want to break up with me. What do you think I should do?"

Celeste was astounded and didn't say a word.

Gary had no intention of stopping. He continued driving forward while ranting, "She came to Edinburgh herself. I told you several times before, but you never believed me. Do you understand my feelings now?"

Celeste pursed her lips and didn't know what to say.

Janice was really a very cheerful person. She could move forward so optimistically and not care about being looked down upon by others at all.

That alone was such a brave move.

"But she's left there alone. What if she does something stupid?" Celeste told him her concerns.

"Something stupid?" Gary sneered, "You'll probably break down first before she does."

Celeste was stunned. What was he implying by that?

To him, she was probably the type of person who would always overthink things.

Gary continued, "Celeste, you won't believe me no matter how many times I say it. Let's talk about this matter in an objective way."

Celeste's eyes widened. Was he trying to communicate with her?

As long as they could talk calmly, she would naturally be happy.

"Go ahead."

"She called me several times today, but I didn't answer," Gary said, "I wasn't willing to answer her call, so there's nothing for me to say. If you knew about this, you would probably feel very uncomfortable, wouldn't you?"

Celeste didn't want to admit it, but she didn't want to lie either.

"We've broken up. It doesn't matter whether I'm willing or not."

"himph," Gary scoffed, "Whether we break up or not, you'll still feel uncomfortable. Please take this matter seriously and stop trying to steer the conversation away."

This was precisely how sharp he was. He would insist until he obtained the answer he desired, be it by hook or by crook.

Celeste nodded, "Yes, that's try. I'd feel very uncomfortable."

Thanks to Celeste's acknowledgment, Gary's tone softened a little. He continued, "You saw just now that she said she ran here herself. I didn't invite her to join us."

"Yes."

"I didn't intend to take her with me in the first place," He confessed, "First, I didn't think it would be convenient for the two of us. It would be troublesome if she were to be the third wheel. Second, she should understand that she shouldn't take the initiative to trouble others. There's absolutely nothing between us."

There wasn't?

Celeste was a little confused.

She looked at Gary in surprise, her eyes filled with indescribable emotions.

"But you still insisted on taking her along with us. I already refused, yet you tried to persuade me. If I were to really give in to your demands, you'd definitely feel uncomfortable," Gary continued.

He had analyzed her thoughts so thoroughly.

Even Celeste herself knew that she was making a fuss about it. If Janice was here, she would feel awkward for sure. But now, she felt that she had gone too far by leaving Janice there.

She was at odds with herself. On one hand, she could not bear to leave Janice behind, but on the other hand, she really felt uncomfortable with Janice's presence.

Such worries made Celeste seem like a pettier and even more hateful person.

"Let's go home," She hesitated for a moment and sighed, "She's a girl, and I'm still worried that something bad will happen to her. I admit, I do mind, but I still insist on doing so this time. I think we should pick her up and have a meal together, okay?"

"She's an adult now," Gary reminded impatiently, "What could happen to her? She should have some sort of awareness. If she's alone, she should have the decency to not go around by herself."

After thinking for a while, Celeste still thought that if something bad were to happen to Janice, she'd never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"But what if something happens?" Celeste asked softly, "Will you and I be at peace in our hearts?"
