True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2047

"That's right."

Celeste nodded. She was indeed living with the Jones family.

"Wow, so you've met the parents? Impressive." Florina sounded envious.

Celeste smiled as a response.

They continued drinking their milk tea.

Suddenly, whispers started to sound all around them. Just as Celeste raised her head to look around in confusion, a tall figure pulled out the chair beside her and sat down.

Celeste was dumbfounded.

Florina also took a deep breath across from her.

She stared at the newcomer with wide eyes.

Gary sat opposite her elegantly. He was not looking at Florina, but at Celeste as she was the only woman in his eyes.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Celeste stuttered.

"You left me alone at home and ran out on your own. Of course, I'd come looking for you," he said in a particularly gentle tone. He reached out his hand and gently placed it on the back of the chair behind Celeste, looking as if he was embracing her.

Celeste's back tensed. Gary felt it and immediately started stroking her back.

It seemed that he was reminding her to relax.

It took Celeste a few seconds to calm down.

"Wow, you two really are a perfect match. You are the 'it' couple." Florina smiled as she praised them.

Gary raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Florina and asked, "Who are you?"

Florina looked slightly shocked at his question, her jaw dropping open. However, she quickly recovered and smiled. "It's no surprise that you didn't recognize me since I look very different from high school. I'm Florina Jennings."

Gary suddenly remembered that this was indeed his high school classmate.

He remembered her name, but he forgot how she looked.

After all, she wasn't a significant person in his life, nor did she have anything to do with him.

However, he didn't expect Celeste to keep in touch with Florina. This was rather odd.

Gary looked back at Celeste. Did he not understand Celeste well enough?

Was there still a lot about Celeste that he did not know about?

This discovery annoyed him a little.

"No way, you're a genius. You skipped two grades, but you don't remember my name? I'm hurt." Florina sighed, but she comforted herself. "Well, I guess it's to be expected since you only care about Celeste."

"Of course I remember your name," Gary calmly replied.

After all, he didn't want to make anyone feel embarrassed.

Moreover, this woman was a friend of Celeste's, so he had to show her some respect.
