......
Gary was stumped by that question. He had neglected the fact that Celeste had been a young girl at the time.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He immediately pulled his lips into a smile and said, "Of course not! We're together, aren't we? Since we ended up together in the end, it doesn't count."
Celeste frowned and was not placated by his sweet-talking. She snorted and said, "Don't think that I'll be soothed by just those words. What you said just now was an insult to every girl in the world."
"You're overthinking it." Gary immediately followed up, "I didn't mean that was true for every girl. It only applied to Sylvia!"
Celeste ignored him.
She thought that the way Gary talked about his own sister was crude.
Celeste also looked over and spotted that Sylvia looked excited to be here. She was smiling sweetly at the tall and handsome man beside her and was acting unlike her usual self.
It was a little odd.
