Chapter 2144
Sylvia didn't expect that things would turn out like that. Perhaps it was really hers who didn't understand.
She looked at Gary. After a long silence, she said, "Gary, I'm sorry."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Why are you apologizing?" Gary smiled.
Sylvia saw that him, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and she felt very sad and distressed.
At the same time, hearing all that, she felt perhaps it was herself who had been too rash with her thoughts.
What was even more unexpected was that Gary would tell her such things.
"Anyways, I'm very sorry." Sylvia pursed her lips. "Mom was right. I didn't know much about the actual situation, and I am not supposed to judge so rashly."
"Mom was right," Gary said. "It was me who was irresponsible too."
"Are you going to let go just like this?" Sylvia felt doubtful.
She saw how much pain Gary was in, yet he still decided to let go of Celeste.
She did not quite understand their relationship.
"Sometimes, letting go isn't because the love is gone," Gary said, "Instead, it's because we love too deeply."
Sylvia was stunned. She thought of something and said, "Is Mr. Trevino like that as well? Is he afraid that he might hurt me, which was why he didn't dare to admit having feelings for me?"
"Perhaps so," Gary said, "If Kendrix doesn't dare to like you, it means that he is a responsible man." "Yes." Sylvia nodded as she heard that and said seriously, "Gary, thank you for telling me all these." Gary again raised his head to look at his sister. "I actually still have some other things to tell you." "Just say it." Seeing that Gary was being so serious, Sylvia didn't dare to fool around either.
"As a girl, you must always remember to protect yourself," Gary said.
Sylvia was a smart girl, and she instantly understood her brother's words.
Her face flushed slightly and she nodded seriously, "I understand, don't worry."
"I'm glad that you understand what I'm trying to tell you." Gary smiled as he stood up. "Study well,
I'll leave now."
Sylvia was a little worried seeing that he was about to leave, and she immediately said, "Gary, you should go look for Celeste."
Gary stiffened a little and his tall figure stood there frozen.
"I think that if you showed up, Celeste would definitely be really happy. Even if she might feel a little awkward, still she will be really happy."
"No." Gary shook his head. "Sylvia, this time, I cannot show up before her again."
Sylvia couldn't quite understand his meaning, but hearing her brother rejecting the idea so seriously, she also agreed with his thoughts deep down. He was such an intelligent person, and he surely would have his own thoughts.
Soon, Gary left Sylvia's room.
At that very moment, Heinz was still following the cab Celeste was in at a constant pace.
After coming out of the hotel, Celeste got on a taxi, which brought her up to the highway.
The direction they were heading was to Northern City.
Heinz was not sure whether Celeste was going to Northern City. He just saw the car heading towards Northern City.
Without alerting Celeste, he asked the driver to follow behind the taxi at an ideal distance.
Indeed.
Celeste was going back to Northern City.
When the car arrived at Northern City, it was already close to midnight.
It was just a while till midnight, and the clock was going to strike at twelve.
The car actually stopped outside the Jones family's villa.
She got out of the car and stood at the door, but she could not enter the villa's compound.
Heinz's car stopped not far away from her, he looked at the girl's lonely figure from afar.
She looked so petite, holding such a huge luggage, standing in front of the villa's compound's gate as she looked around.
On the night of Spring Festival Eve,
every house was decorated
beautifully and vibrantly with lights. Her lonely figure looked sad amidst the glimmering decorations, and one's heart would ache for her.
Heinz was very surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl would come back to Northern City, and he did not expect that she would actually
appear at the door of the Jones
family either.
Initially, he didn't quite like Celeste's character and thought that she was not brave or outgoing enough.
However, it seemed that the girl was quite brave then, as she was brave enough to come back.
Perhaps returning to the Jones family needed more courage than anything else for Celeste.
Heinz sat in the car. After a long time, he said to the driver, "I'll get off first. You should wait here and act according to the situation." "Okay, President."
Clinton then opened the door for Heinz.
Heinz got off the car and walked towards the house.
Celeste had returned.
She had been out there, trying to calm herself down for so long. After finally facing herself, she came back.
She was reluctant to leave Gary.
She finally overcame the difficulties in herself, and she thought that she wasn't appreciative of whatever she had.
That was why she came back.
She wanted to try hard once again for her relationship to work. For herself and also for Gary, she wanted to take the initiative that time round.
Along the journey there, she had been mustering up all her courage. Yet, as she had arrived at the entrance then, she didn't have the courage to go
in.
She stood at the gate and looked around. Without a security card, she could not enter by herself. If she wanted to enter, she had to ask the security guards to call the house phone.
She was hesitating on whether she should make the request or not.
At that time, a familiar low voice suddenly came from behind.
"Celeste."
l
Celeste's body stiffened as she turned over, seeing Heinz standing right behind her. His tall figure emanated a huge sense of intimidation, and the street lamps shone on him, creating a long shadow behind him.
"Uncle Jones." Celeste didn't expect to see Heinz there in the middle of the night. She was even guiltier to see Heinz, and she felt that she couldn't bear to face him.
Heinz walked over and said calmly, "You're back."
"Uncle Jones, I..." Celeste opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Heinz was not in a hurry at all. He stood in front of her patiently.
That time, he really wanted to know what Celeste was going to do.
If the girl could face it with bravery, it meant that her love for Gary was still very deep.
He would probably be disappointed too if she gave up right then.
However, Heinz was still looking forward to her reaction.
Celeste thought that Heinz would say something, but he didn't at all.
Heinz didn't speak a word. He just stood in front of her and looked at her from his tall height.
Even though Celeste didn't look into Heinz's eyes, she could feel the sharpness in his gaze.
She knew that Uncle Jones wanted her to state the reason of her return.
She plucked up her courage and said in a low voice, "Uncle Jones, I was wrong."
When the words "I was wrong" came out of her mouth, she felt relieved.
She felt that all the weight on her shoulders had finally been taken away.
Heinz smiled, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. It seemed as if he was pleased with what she said.
