True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2147

The fireworks were blooming in the night sky, so beautiful and dazzling.

The lively scene immediately caught the attention of the children of the Jones family.

When the fireworks bloomed, Ernest was calling Leah at the same time, and he didn't expect to see the fireworks.

He gasped out in surprise.

"What is it?" Leah asked immediately.

"Nothing. It's just a little strange that we're suddenly having fireworks at home." Ernest walked towards the window, seeing that the butler was indeed putting off the fireworks, and it seemed that it wasn't going to end too soon.

"How romantic!" Leah was also very surprised. "Does your family usually put off fireworks during the Spring Festival?"

"As long as fireworks are allowed to be set off, we will do it every year. During those years when we studied abroad and did not come back, dad would still put off some fireworks for my siblings. He would also capture some pictures for us. From what I remember, we will put off fireworks every year."

"Your father is really a good dad," Leah said from the bottom of her heart.

Thinking's of Leah's background, Ernest also felt sad for her. Leah's father didn't treat her well, yet Leah still decided to go back home that year along with her sister Rowane to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Although Ernest was extremely unwilling to let her go, he could only choose to respect her decision.

"My dad is also your dad," Ernest said, "When we get married, you can call him dad, just like how I do."

"What are you talking about?" Leah was a little embarrassed. "Who said I'm going to marry you?"

"Who are you going to marry if not me?" Ernest immediately changed into a serious tone. "You're only allowed to marry me."

Leah rolled her eyes speechlessly. It was not romantic of him at all to be so domineering.

However, she still felt really warm in her heart.

"By then, I could put off fireworks with you as well."

"Can't you put off fireworks with me now?" Leah asked.

Ernest was stunned and said in a hoarse voice, "I'd be more than willing to put off the fireworks with you now, but didn't you go home?"

"I'm not saying right now. I'm talking about when I go back in two days," Leah said, "We can also put them later on."

"Yes, of course," Ernest said, "Let's put off some fireworks then."

Saying that, Ernest gasped again in surprise.

"What is it?" Leah asked again.

"Why are there so many fireworks this year?" Ernest was puzzled again. When he opened his window, he actually heard Sebastian and Sylvia's voice, and they all seemed quite surprised as well.

"You can even tell the difference." Leah laughed. "I really admire your keen insight."

"It's really very different from how it always used to be," said Ernest. "I'm going downstairs to have a look. I have a feeling that we're celebrating something."

"Are you all celebrating the arrival of the new baby?" Leah asked.

After thinking for a while, Ernest said, "Perhaps so."

However, when he opened the door and was about to go out, he saw the luggage at the door.

The luggae was placed right at the door of Gary's room.

He was also slightly surprised, and he said with a smile on his lips, "It seems that there are indeed some things to celebrate, but it's not about mom's pregnancy."

"What is it then? You seem to have found out about it." Leah also felt happy.

"A very happy thing for Gary," Ernest said.

"What?" Leah exclaimed, "Could it be that Celeste has come back?"

"Perhaps," Ernest replied with a smile. "I'm not too sure yet. I'll go downstairs and have a look."

Leah was also a little curious. If it was Celeste, it would be really great. She'd also seen how Gary was acting recently and she was also worried for him.

If Celeste had returned, Gary would no longer be so dispirited.

Ernest quickly went downstairs and to the yard. When he saw Sebastian and Sylvia there putting off fireworks with the butler, he asked them while holding the phone.

"What's the big thing we're celebrating?"

"Ernest." Sylvia immediately ran towards Ernest and mysteriously said, "Actually, something big happened, but can you guess what it is?"

"Could it be that Celeste is back?" Ernest asked.

"Oh dear, how could you be so smart? You guessed it in no time." Sylvia was a little disappointed. "You're no fun at all. It's too easy for you, I'm so disappointed!"

"Is Celeste really back?" Leah said excitedly over the phone, "Seems like it's true."

"Have you heard it?" Ernest smiled. "It should be true."

"That's really great." Leah also sincerely thought that it was really nice that Celeste could be back.

Gary wouldn't be so down anymore.

She had seen enough of his long face those days, of how dejected and depressed he was.

Those sad days should be over then.

"I haven't seen her yet," Ernest said, "I'm confirm it with you later when I see her."

"Okay." Leah laughed. "Are you going to light up the fireworks?"

Ernest was stunned. It seemed from her tone that she wanted to hang up the call.

He looked at his siblings while holding the phone. "What is it? Do you have something else to do?"

Leah said, "I don't."

"Then why are you trying to hang up?"

"I was just thinking, shouldn't you be celebrating with your family?" Leah chuckled. "I just wanted to be understanding and end the call first."

Hearing that, Ernest's heart tightened and he felt a little distressed for her.

"You don't have to do that. My darling, you don't have to be so understanding."

He truly wanted to dote on her.

However, Leah felt that as a person, she should always be understanding, and that was something important.

If a person did not have a sense of understanding at all, he or she would only be unlucky in the future.

"Okay." Leah smiled. "I'll hang up whenever you want me to then."

After a pause, Ernest smiled and said, "Aren't you going to accompany your dad?"

"It's fine." Leah sounded a little upset as she said that, and it seemed that her emotions were a little down.

Ernest immediately noticed that Leah didn't seem quite happy.

"What's wrong? Is it upsetting for you to be at home?"

"It's okay." Leah laughed. "It was always like this back then for me as well. I'm already pretty much used to it long ago. It's much better this year than before anyways."

In fact, it was all because of Ernest that her dad and her stepmom weren't too harsh on her that year. Yet for the warmth she wanted, she still didn't get it.

Leah did not want to think about those things and did not want to waste any time on thinking about it either.
