Celeste looked up at him and said, "Does that mean that you agree to my proposal?"
Gary nodded. "That's right, I fully agree with your suggestion. Not only do I agree with your suggestion, but I should also call Ernest and tell him that we are going over there first and that they're not allowed to back out."
When Celeste heard that, she felt gratified. "I am really happy that you can think this way. Okay, hurry up and call Ernest. I will pack up first. After that, we can go."
"Okay." Only then did Gary raise his head and leave Celeste's side to take his phone.
By the time Ernest received Gary's call, Ernest and Leah had already left the house.
Ernest glanced at his phone, the caller ID showing Gary's name.
Leah immediately asked, "Who's calling you? Why aren't you answering the call?"
"It's Gary," he said, "I don't want to answer it."
"Why?" Leah was confused.
