......
Outside, Celeste heard everything Gary said. Although she couldn't hear Yandrea's words, she could infer what he had said based on Gary's words.
Janice was pregnant.
And it was Gary's.
She had found out from the call with Janice, but she had tried to be hopeful, thinking it was just a joke from Janice.
But now? From Gary's words, she knew that it was the truth.
Why had she been so naive to think that it wasn't real?
At this moment, there was no color on Celeste's face. It was as if her soul had been taken away.
Leaning against the wall, she struggled to keep herself standing as she did not want to collapse.
Only then did she realize how much it meant to hear it for herself.
She had thought that she was strong enough, but her heart was in pieces.
But could she blame Gary?
She couldn't.
After all, he didn't mean for it to happen.
