Gary was leaning on his chair. A window behind him allowed light to enter his room, forming shadows that masked his expression. This made him look somewhat oppressive, and added on a sense of hostility to his already livid expression.
He managed to calm down a little perhaps due to Celeste's gentle attitude and weakened stance.
"Just now, my mother told me that you are going to be my sister. Is that true?" Gary said as he rubbed the space between his eyebrows. It seemed like he was quite conflicted over this matter.
"Sister?" Celeste was dumbfounded momentarily.
"That's right, my younger sister," Gary stared at Celeste seriously. He put down his hand and commented solemnly, "After my mother becomes your guardian, you will become part of my family as well as my adopted younger sister."
Confusion flashed in Celeste's eyes.
She knew exactly what that meant.
Suddenly, she was nervous.
Gary noticed the change in her mood and asked, "Are you not aware of this?"
