......
Gary fixed his gaze on Celeste with a sincere smile on his face, but deep at the bottom of his heart, he was panicking.
He gave a shot at Pedro's words. After all, his smile was quite lethal.
As expected, when he noticed Celeste staring at him in a daze, hope instantly welled up in his heart. He felt somewhat relieved.
It seemed that this smile was so charming to the point of dazing Celeste.
He studied her features. Her hair was no longer long. It did not grow past her ears. It was short, yet her delicate facial features were exquisite.
Her gorgeous facial features fell into his sight. It was so beautiful.
He smiled and lowered his head to look at her. Neither of them spoke for a moment.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
The rain outside the window pitter-pattered at a steady pace, like the whispering of lovers.
An ambiguous aura filled the entire room.
His eyes fell on her face.
All of a sudden, a loud splash of rain slammed on the window.
