......
Upon hearing Gary's words, Celeste was slightly surprised. She stared at Gary for a long time in a daze. She had no idea what she should say.
She had vaguely heard of those rumours, but it was the first time Gary mentioned it by himself.
He had never mentioned it, but that time, he actually revealed all of it to her.
She was surprised.
"In my opinion, he mistreated my mother." Gary smiled bitterly. His face sank as he felt sorry for his mother, "To the point that I don't even think he deserves my mother."
Celeste pursed her lips. She understood that feeling of 'doesn't deserve' well.
There were times when she would feel that she was not worthy of Gary as well.
She lowered her head, feeling blue.
"So, that's why I believe that a man should always be faithful and take full responsibility towards a woman when it comes to a relationship. That's how a real man should act."
Her heart seemed to have trembled in an instant.
Celeste lifted her gaze in a trance.
