Gary glanced at Celeste. She had to ask for his help, after all, so he found it amusing.
In truth, he had been waiting for Celeste to ask him about it, but she did not say a word even after he had waited for a long time.
He resisted the urge to the point where he almost couldn't hold on any longer.
Gary knew that Celeste had always been a strong and independent lady, but she would still seek help when necessary. That was how she was behaving right then as she asked him about it when she could not find out the answer herself.
It had him feel that Celeste was actually not a stubborn girl. He smiled and said, "Do you really want to know?"
What nonsense was that?
Of course, Celeste wanted to know. She had already asked him, yet he was still putting on airs.
