True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1531

Although they were separated by the door, Celeste could still hear Gary's words clearly.

His voice was low. It was so low that it seemed to be tapping on her heart. Every word from him seemed to be a musical note that flowed into the deepest parts of Celeste's heart, shaking her entire body.

Celeste leaned against the door and closed her eyes as if that was the only way she could suppress her wildly pounding heart.

Gary's voice continued to drift in from the outside, "I know that you suffered a lot. Back then, I missed out on a lot of stuff. I know nothing will change by saying it now, but I do hope that we still stand a chance in the future."

Celeste's heart trembled.

"Celeste, I'm so sorry for not being able to control myself tonight." His voice was still low and soft as it seeped in through the door.

Celeste, once again, blushed. Her face went red to the point of dripping blood, unsure if it was caused by embarrassment when she heard those words.

Whenever she thought of that instant where she threw herself into his arms, she couldn't help but blush.

She did not want to be in a relationship with him anymore, but she would fall for him over and over again. She was mad at herself as she realised that her thoughts could easily be swayed by him.

So, she did not open the door and pretended not to have heard him.

There was no response.

However, Gary, who was by the door, continued muttering, "Celeste, I will do my best to be the ideal man in your heart. By then, I really hope that you can give me another chance."

Even after he finished talking, Gary continued to stay at the door for some time. He hoped that Celeste would open the door, but it remained closed even after a long while. He heaved a long sigh.

After a brief moment, he spoke softly once more, "Celeste, you should sleep earlier. Don't continue studying. Let's go to work tomorrow morning. Goodnight, then. I'm going to head up right now."

With that, Gary stood at the door for some time before he turned around and headed upstairs.

Celeste listened to the gradually leaving footsteps with her heart still hanging mid-air. She opened her eyes after some time, her moist eyes full of fear.

She took a deep breath and opened the door quietly to take a peek at the outside.

No one could be seen in the corridor.

It seemed that Gary had truly gone upstairs.

Celeste stared at the corridor for a long time in a daze before she gently closed the door.

When she returned to her room, her heart was disturbed once more.

She was really upset about how useless she was.

Celeste could not fall asleep that night, gradually falling asleep after two o'clock in the morning.

Early in the next morning, someone knocked on her door, and she was awakened. When she opened her eyes, she looked in the direction of the clock only to discover that it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

She was so shocked that she leapt up from the bed.

Oh no, she was going to be late.

The knocking sounded once more.

Celeste hurriedly rushed towards the door to open it. She saw Gary standing at the door, an oppressive aura emanating from his tall figure. He lowered his head and looked at Celeste with a hint of shock and worry in his eyes.

"Did you just wake up?" Gary asked.

Celeste was embarrassed. When she noticed that he had changed into a decent and elegant suit, she swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue, surprised by how dashingly goodlooking he was.

Celeste lowered her head and did not say anything else.

Celeste had to admit that when Gary put on a suit, he would look like an elite that would have one's heart skip a beat.

"Did you stay up all night to revise the things I taught you?" Gary asked worriedly, "Didn't I tell you not to read them anymore?"

"I didn't." Celeste shook her head.

"So, you didn't sleep?" Realization dawned upon him. When he saw the dark circles around her eyes, he hurriedly asked, "Did you have insomnia last night?"

Celeste was annoyed when she heard the word "insomnia". She urged, "You should head over. I might be late. I still need to take a shower. I don't have time to talk to you. See you later."

With that, Celeste closed the door while her heart was in a chaotic state.

She took a deep breath and hurried into the bathroom.

As she was running late, she took a quick shower. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she changed into a new set of clothes and opened the door, only to see that Gary was still standing on the same spot.

Celeste was stunned. She asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Gary was at a loss for words. Must Celeste distance herself from him in such a manner?

He told her, "Wouldn't you be even more late if I were to leave? We'll head over together. You should come down and have breakfast. There should still be enough time."

"I won't have breakfast anymore," Celeste reached for her bag and was ready to head to the company.

"I've asked Pedro to prepare it for you. I had mine. If you have your breakfast right now, the temperature of the food is just right," Gary replied in a low voice as he walked alongside Celeste.

She had no other choice but to only go with him.

The two of them went downstairs for breakfast. Gary watched as she ate.

Pedro's eyes fell on the two of them. It seemed like he was watching the fun as he looked at them in a curious manner.
