Gary immediately stopped talking. After a moment, he continued, "Got it."
"What do you get?" Grace did not show Gary any mercy. "There were so many opportunities for you to treat her right. I don't think you've ever taken Celeste shopping, have you?"
In fact, Grace had heard from Alex that all the shopping was done by someone else, or ordered from the fashion companies themselves. They had never ever gone shopping.
If they didn't go shopping or on dates, they usually stayed home on the bed. What was the difference between Gary and Heinz then?
Grace recalled her earlier days with Heinz, and they were spent like this as well.
She shook her head and sighed again.
"You guys should go out and have some food. Find a nice restaurant and think of it as a date. Your brother is also with a girl, and he might be dating her already so don't rush back to England. Take a few more days off, it wouldn't hurt." Grace reminded Celeste and Gary when she got out of the car.
Gary was surprised. "Ernest is with a girl?" "Yeah, he was with her last night and he rushed out in the middle of the night to see her. Must be one hell of a girl. You know, I only want the best for all of you." Grace was excited as she spoke.
After a bit more pieces of motherly advice, Grace entered the Jones Estate.
Gary glanced at Celeste, who was seated behind him.
She insisted on sitting with her mother in the back, and Gary was relegated to becoming the driver.
She was still sitting in the back seat even after Grace got out of the car.
Then, Gary turned around and glanced at her. He said, "Come up here."
Celeste looked at him and hesitated for a moment before she got into the front passenger seat.
Gary did not drive away immediately. Instead, he held her hand and caressed her face. His eyes were gentle as he spoke, "What did the doctor say to you?"
"Why are you still asking?" Celeste stared at his handsome face and was surprised at how curious he was.
"I want to know because I care about you." Gary's eyes were clear and bright, and Celeste succumbed to them.
"The doctor said I lack estrogen, so she was wondering if I experienced any sexual desire."
Gary paused for a moment before asking, "Then what did you say? Do you really not feel a thing? Then, were all the times we had sex just you forcing yourself to go along with what I want?"
Gary was quite sensitive about this issue. If Celeste didn't feel any desire, then he would have just been enjoying it alone.
However, that didn't seem right. Sometimes Celeste enjoyed it greatly as well, and she must have felt something.
Even so, he still felt anxious about whether Celeste felt any desire towards him.
Celeste glanced at Gary and she blushed spectacularly. Her lips quivered as if she were about to say something, but she still felt rather awkward in the end.
Meanwhile, Gary was still staring at her. Celeste was so beautiful, and it stirred up a lot of feelings in his chest. He frowned and asked, "Why did you stop? What did you say to the doctor?"
"I told the doctor the truth," Celeste said.
"Yeah? And what did you tell her?" Gary was most concerned about this, and his gaze was fixed on Celeste's face.
Celeste was a little embarrassed and she said sheepishly, "Why are you asking so much? I'm going to die of embarrassment."
"I have to, because I want to know if you have any desire towards me!" Gary exclaimed, "Don't be embarrassed. We are lovers. There's nothing to be shy about with me."
Celeste recalled what the doctor said. It needed a lot of courage to take the lead.
If she wasn't proactive, how could she face Aunt Smith and the others?
She plucked up her courage and whispered, "Of course I want you, but I feel exhausted whenever you want to do it and I don't. It's like this half the times we do it, you know?"
Even though Celeste was speaking the truth, this was still quite a blow to Gary. He stared dumbly at Celeste, and his expression became increasingly depressed.
He felt upset as he looked at Celeste sadly.
Celeste also felt that her words might have affected Gary greatly, so she said, "Don't think so much. Perhaps my stamina isn't as good as yours, so I get tired easily. It's not like I don't want you, you know?"
"You don't have to comfort me." Gary sighed, but there was an unspeakable sense of frustration in
his tone.
Celeste sighed and said, "Well, don't be so depressed. I'll tell you everything."
Gary's eyes lit up and he looked at Celeste with a pitiful expression. "There's more?"
