But the following words that Celeste said felt like a splash of cold water, quickly extinguishing his hope that had just been ignited.
"Of course I care about you. Even if we aren't lovers anymore, you're still Aunt Smith and Uncle Jones' son. Besides, we're classmates. We're probably going to meet again in the future, so you should take care of yourself."
Gary's face sank in an instant. At this point, he felt like he was basically asking for it. Who could he blame?
Gary was left speechless. He had no choice but to keep his head down and eat quietly. There are no words to describe the stiffness in his chest.
Celeste tried her best to finish up her food. Although she felt like throwing up several times, she ate earnestly.
She ate her meal along with a few other dishes. Celeste proceeded to put down her utensils and said, "I really can't eat anymore. I'll go and rest."
After saying that, Celeste placed her utensils to the side and headed towards the stairs.
