Celeste saw that he was serious. It did not look like he was teasing or joking with her.
She stopped talking and turned away. Gary then grabbed her by the wrist.
Celeste twisted her wrist and struggled, but Gary exerted slightly more strength.
That strength was strong enough to keep her from breaking free.
She could only turn around angrily and glare at him. She spoke in a low voice, "Let go of me. Stop pulling me. I'm not taking a bath."
Gary pursed his lips and explained seriously, "Celeste, I really don't mean anything else. I just want you to take a bath, that's all."
Looking at Celeste's blushing face, Gary said, "I really didn't think about doing anything to you tonight. Besides, I just flushed out my desires in the bathroom. You really don't have to worry about anything."
Swish!
To Celeste, it felt like something exploded in her mind.
Her face suddenly turned completely red, as if it was bleeding
She was embarrassed and angry at him for having the guts to tell her this, but Gary did not find it embarrassing at all. He sighed and continued, "I don't have any other choice. I know you wouldn't agree to it, so I took matters to my own hands."
When he finished saying that and saw Celeste's red, blushing face. He probably realized something and continued, "Alright, I feel awkward and embarrassed too. But you have to understand that I could not hold back my feelings for you just now. I was too impulsive. I was afraid that I would do something to you, so I decided to do it myself.
"Don't laugh at me, and don't think I'm unreasonable too. This is a normal reaction for any man, I don't want to hide it from you."
Celeste was surprised at how frank he was.
She pursed her lips. She was indeed a little shocked.
He was a proud man. Having him admit to that must have been very difficult for him, right?
She did not struggle any longer. She only felt a trace of panic in her heart.
"Celeste, I really want to tell you that you are not in any danger. It will be more comfortable for you to take a bath. Look at your hands. They're so cold.
I'm just worried that you'll feel cold." As he spoke, his hand slipped down from Celeste's wrist and he held her small hand.
It was indeed very cold.
Celeste felt muddleheaded as she was pushed into the bathroom by Gary. It was only when she was soaked in the bathtub that she realized that she had come in without taking a new set of clothes. Furthermore, she had even soaked herself in the bathroom. What should she do?
She looked around and found that there was an unused towel neatly folded on the hanger.
She thought that he must have left it there on purpose.
She was a little touched by his thoughtfulness.
She thought of what Gary had told her just now and felt extremely uncomfortable. After that, when she thought of what Gary had done in the bathroom, her face turned hot.
In truth, there were too many sweet memories here as well. Celeste did not want to think of it, for she felt sad and scared. She was sad and helpless.
After Gary changed his clothes, he did not go downstairs. Instead, he looked for some clothes for Celeste in the cloakroom thoroughly, inside and out, then folded them neatly before placing them at the bedside for Celeste.
He leaned on the bed and sat down lazily. There was an evil smile on his face.
He thought that even if he did nothing but walk about in front of Celeste, she would overthink by miles. With that, he could just go with the flow.
It seemed that the day he could conquer Celeste's heart was getting closer.
In conclusion, it seemed that their current situation was getting better and better.
After Celeste took a shower, she wrapped herself in a bath towel at the door and stood at the door to listen for a while. There were no movements outside. She wrapped herself tightly, took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Are you done?" Gary's voice could be heard.
In an instant, Celeste was dumbfounded.
She saw the man lying on the bed and staring at her. When he saw her bare legs and smooth shoulders, his eyes instantly surged.
Celeste's eyes widened. "Why are you here?"
"I was helping you look for your clothes. It's all here." Gary hurriedly got up from the bed and cleared his throat. He said awkwardly, "I realized that I forgot to bring you any clothes after you went in for a bath. I thought you would say something when you were done, but you didn't. Since you are here, and your clothes are all here, you can change. I'll leave the room."
After that, he turned around and walked out of the room instead of staying.
