"There's no need to ask Celeste, we have our own plans tomorrow. You two can go and enjoy yourselves," Gary said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about the two of us."
With that, he went back to his room with Celeste.
Ernest and Leah watched their backs as they left in a hurry, they were very puzzled.
Ernest continued frowning.
Leah thought that it was a little strange too. She muttered to herself, "I don't know what's going on, but it just feels like they are both a little weird. It feels like something is wrong with them. I am even doubting myself, thinking if something is wrong with me."
Ernest smiled and said, "You are not going insane. There is indeed something fishy going on, I just can't place my finger on what it is."
"So you think that there is something strange going on too? I thought that I was the only one who found it suspicious, even the atmosphere felt a little unusual." Leah was filled with curiosity. She felt that Gary had met with a lot of problems on his trip to the United States. Moreover, there were a lot of problems even before he left, and they remained the same after he returned.
"When we proposed to drink earlier, we could already see something wrong is going on," Ernest said as he thought about it, "If I brought up drinking in the past, Gary would agree in a heartbeat. However, he firmly objected to it today." "I don't care, it doesn't matter if he objected to it. Anyway, he seems to treat Celeste quite well. As long as their relationship is stable, nothing else matters. Don't you think so?" Leah was very optimistic about that."
Ernest nodded. That was indeed a matter between Gary and Celeste. If there was nothing wrong with their relationship, then everything was fine.
Even though they had a lot of worries, they could not make the decisions for other people, and they could only let nature take its course.
The two of them then returned to their rooms, and Leah took out her law book and started to read it again. Ernest was very surprised to see how hardworking she was.
"Why are you so serious with your studies these two days? You were avoiding studying when I asked you to do it before."
"I have always been hardworking, okay? It is just that I have neglected about my studies recently because you came back. However, our relationship is stable now, so I can't continue to neglect my studies for lust. It is time to study, don't you agree?"
When Ernest heard Leah's words, he could not help but to laugh. "I am glad you think that way. It is indeed time for us to work hard."
Their relationship was very stable then. It was time they learned something seriously. Besides, Ernest also needed to spare some time to help Leah with finishing her novel.
He also needed to read up his own thesis. It was rare for the two of them to sit in a room be occupied with their studies together after meal.
Occasionally, Ernest would look up at Leah, and he would see her looking at her book with a serious expression. She seemed very cute and beautiful like that. After all, women would give off a lot of charm when they were serious in doing something.
Ernest soon lowered his head and continued to study.
Every time Leah finished reading a chapter, she would look up at Ernest. Sometimes, the two of them would accidentally look at each other, and they could not help but to laugh.
The scene was so warm and loving.
In the next room.
After returning to their room, Celeste picked up her book and began to read too.
Gary walked over and sat down opposite of Celeste. "Shall we go to the beach for a couple of days?"
Celeste was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Gary. "You didn't agree to go to the lake when Ernest and Leah suggested it, why do you suddenly want to go to the beach?"
"Even though it would also be on a yacht, but how could being on a yacht at a lake be compared to the vastness of the sea? A yacht is not going to be as warm on a lake than it is on the sea. The weather is so cold now," Gary said, "Also, I think that going to the sea would be more suitable for us."
Celeste looked at Gary seriously. She probably understood what Gary was thinking. Did he want to bring her to the sea as a break up vacation?
