True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1942

Leah's face turned red from embarrassment.

Gary was deliberately teasing them.

However, Leah retorted as she blushed, "Gary, aren't you and Celeste very energetic too? Don't laugh at us when you are no different. Be more merciful."

When Gary heard Leah's words, he was stunned. He smiled at the silent Ernest and said, "Wow, Ernest, you don't like these kinds of jokes but your woman does."

Leah blinked. "Did I say anything wrong?"

Leah immediately looked back at Ernest.

She wanted to see his expression. She had to know if he felt embarrassed after hearing her words or not.

When Ernest saw Leah looking at him, he smiled in reply. "Well said. That's what we should have told Gary a long time ago."

Gary was somewhat stunned.

Leah also had no response to that.

Ernest looked at Gary indifferently and said, "Gary, you started it. Is it wrong for your sister-in-law to talk back to you?"

Gary blinked and said, "Ernest, are you protecting your woman like this? I can't even tease her a bit?"

"Gary, you are wrong. She is the one protecting me," Ernest said frankly, "I don't like to quarrel with others. Isn't it great for her to protect me? That is why I feel very happy."

Gary's jaw dropped.

Leah laughed out loud.

It seemed that Ernest was quite a humorous person too.

At that moment, Celeste came out with a slight blush. When she saw them, she quickly greeted them, "Good morning, Ernest. Good morning, Leah."

The moment she finished speaking, Celeste quickly lowered her head, her face was red too.

Just like how Leah and Ernest were aware of what went on in the next room, it seemed that Celeste and Gary were also of what went on in their room. After all, sound traveled both ways

The people from both rooms were quite familiar with each other.

So when they met each other outside their rooms that morning it seemed a little awkward.

The four of them were well aware of what went on. It was embarrassing.

However, Gary was not the type of person who followed rules. He liked to pick on others. Naturally, he would receive the same fate.

"Good morning, Celeste." Leah reacted quickly, greeting Celeste with a smile to resolve their mutual embarrassment.

Celeste smiled back and said, "Come on, shall we go for breakfast?"

"Okay." Leah was very clever. She immediately stepped forward and took Celeste's arm. They went downstairs together, talking and laughing along the way, completely ignoring the two men behind them.

The two young men looked at each other after they were left out. Gary shrugged and smiled at his brother.

Ernest glanced at his brother and said, "There are some things that don't need to be said. Why must you say it out loud?"

Gary burst into laughter. "I say what I want. Your woman is so thick-skinned anyway. I don't think she minds it at all. You, on the other hand, are more cowardly than your girlfriend."

When he heard this, Ernest was dumbfounded. He knew his brother well, yet he still felt helpless.

"I don't mind, but your girlfriend feels awkward. You need to understand that the person feeling embarrassed in the end is Celeste, not Leah or me." Ernest reminded him.

After he finished speaking, he ignored Gary and went downstairs.

It was Gary's turn to be left speechless.

He stared at Ernest's back and said, "I think we need to renovate the rooms upstairs. The sound insulation is not good enough."

Ernest did not even turn around as he replied, "You are right. Why don't you tell Mom to renovate?"

"Ha!" Gary sneered, "Why won't you say it? Since you have agreed to renovate the rooms, why should I be the one to say it?"

Ernest did not care what his brother said, he went straight down without turning back. He continued to say to Gary, "It is because you are the eldest son in the family. With you around, there is no place for me to speak. So, it will be better if you were the one to speak."

When he heard this, Gary's lips twitched. He muttered, "Are you only bringing this up now because you want me to do the dirty work?"

"Brother, you will benefit from this anyway. It doesn't count as dirty work." Ernest smiled as he walked to the corner of the second floor. He turned around to look at Gary and reminded him, "After all, I won't come back that often. When I do, I will be staying at Leah's place. However, it won't be that great for you and Celeste to be staying out, right?"

"Stop beating around the bush, you just want me to be responsible for this, right?" Gary understood.

Ernest nodded. "That's right."

"Ha!" Gary sneered, "If you begged me properly, I won't mind doing more work. However, the more you say it, the less I want to do it."

"Do you think it is fun to be rebelling at your age?" Ernest smiled. He did not care what his brother thought. To him, it did not matter whether the rooms were renovated or not.

After Ernest said that, he went down. Gary was left speechless as he watched Ernest leave.
