Chapter 2007 Children of the Jones Family, Gary Smith (Part 782)

......

Celeste's words stopped Gary from saying everything he wanted to say. She didn't want to hear his explanation.

At that moment, he realized her intentions of wanting to avoid this.

He opened his mouth but the words were stuck in his throat.

He could only remain silent and say nothing.

Just then, he was looking at her with eager eyes.

She turned her head to face the other way.

Her voice sounded again. "I feel like sleeping a bit more. Join me. You didn't sleep well too. You can just lie there if you couldn't fall back to sleep."

He heard her. Although her tone was calm, he felt a great pang grip his heart.

Shame and self-blame filled him in an instant. He pursed his lips and agreed. Then, he hurried to lie down again.

Gary took a deep breath. The rims of his eyes were red but he still took her into his arms.

Celeste didn't move but she spoke again, "Get some sleep. Isn't it uncomfortable to hold me?"

He froze and felt a little awkward.
