Chapter 2032 The Four Children of the Jones Family, Gary Smith (Part 807)

......

"Alright," Gary nodded, "Since you are already prepared, there's probably nothing to worry about. I promise that I'll take care of you once we're back home."

"Thank you," said Celeste.

Gary was stunned. He wanted to laugh bitterly but stayed silent. Were they already strangers? 

For her to say her thanks over such a small thing felt all too strange and unfamiliar.

The sense of unfamiliarity that lingered between them hurt. Gary couldn't help but laugh at himself as he sensed a feeling of sorrow from within.

How could he and Celeste end up like this?

Previously, he still had the guts to pester Celeste to take him back. After all, he had never done anything overboard.

None of the mistakes he made were an infringement of beliefs nor principles. 

However, could he really say that now?

Celeste had already made up her mind to leave him, and even so, she didn't want his parents to worry for them.

She was a kind girl.
