Chapter 1333

"It's all in the past. I didn't take it to heart," Celeste felt that it was really the past. She had alreadyforgotten about it, and she didn't want to think about it anymore.

"But I have," Liam said hurriedly, "I've always kept it in my heart. I'm sorry. My guilt is suffocatingme, especially when I've wronged you. I regret it immensely."

In the past, he had gone to ask Cindy if she had sold custody of Celeste for thirty million dollars.

Cindy did not say a word.

Katherine was also avoiding him, while Monica stepped forward and said that Miss White deservedit.

At that time, he was really shocked. It was only then did he realize how he had wrongfully blamedCeleste.

He wanted to apologise, but he was too proud back then.

In school, he met Maria several times. Every time, the girl would walk past him with her chin slightlylifted and a contemptuous look on her face.novelbin

He had tried several times to ask about Celeste through Maria, but every time, she would speakcoldly to him.

She never treated him as her idol again.

She even looked down on him and mocked him at any chance she could get.

Once, he was very furious. Amidst his anger, he had kissed Maria.

It was also then that he suddenly realized that he was a jerk.

He was no longer in the mood to see Celeste because he felt even guiltier.

Liam didn't know why, but the guilt had crushed him for so many years.

Now that he was sitting opposite this girl who seemed calm as usual, he felt even more guilty.

"It's been so many years. Mr. Robinson, you don't have to keep holding on to the past," Celeste wasstill composed.

"No," Liam shook his head, "You don't know. You have no idea how sad I feel."

That was his problem.

Celeste didn't continue to say anything but kept silent instead.

Liam took out a box from his bag, and it looked like one of those used to store accessories. Whenhe opened it, it turned out to be a piece of jewelry.

It was a necklace.

The sapphire necklace was very gorgeous.

Liam gave it to Celeste and said, "This was purchased in the U.S. when I graduated last year. Ihope you will accept it."

"I don't want it," Celeste shook her head and refused immediately, "It's not like we're at that levelwhere we can give each other gifts."

She held on to her principle to never have an ambiguous relationship with any other boy.

For the past four years, she had been pursued by many boys at school, but she had always refusedthem.

It was because she had Gary in her heart.

Speaking of it, she was ashamed.

She hadn't seen Gary for four years.

There would be a video call every week, but he never did come to London nor return back home.

Over the past four years, she hadn't seen Gary at all.

She wanted to see him desperately.

However, Gary had told her that once they met, she would definitely regret it.

That was because he might give in to his urge to have his way with her.

Back then, Celeste's face was completely red. Only then did she realise that Gary wasn't joking. Hewas telling the truth.

If he wanted her, he would not be able to control himself the moment they met. That was why hewould rather not see her.

This logic was probably something that only Gary would have.

For the past four years, they had sent emails and had video- calls occasionally. They could meetthrough the Internet almost every week, but they had never really had any physical contact witheach other.

It was truly a pity.

"Celeste, this is an apology gift," Liam pleaded, "The incident has been replaying in my mind foryears. I really don't know what to do."

"I've never really cared about it," Celeste was also serious. She closed the jewelry box and pushedit towards Liam, insisting, "It's true. Mr. Robinson, you don't need to care about it nor hold on to it.You can take the necklace back. I should leave."

"Celeste," Liam panicked and his hands froze in mid-air, "Don't be in such a hurry. Let's continuechatting."

Celeste glanced at Liam's gloomy face and suggested, "You're not doing well. You'd better thinkabout your future. I believe that you have learned a lot in your three years in London. It takes a lot oftime and effort to transform yourself from an idol to a talented actor. Your efforts will eventually berecognized. Cheer up and start to plan your own career. Goodbye, Mr. Robinson."

Celeste still encouraged him in a pertinent way.

After that, she stood up.

Seeing that she was about to stand up, Liam immediately followed suit and almost caused the chairbehind him to fall to the ground.

He grabbed the necklace on the table, quickly shoved it into Celeste's hands, and took a deep lookat her before pleading, "Take it. This is what has been bothering me, so please."

Celeste shook her head, "Mr. Robinson, I have my own principles. I won't take it. Please don't makethings difficult for me."

"I'm sorry, Celeste," After saying that, Liam turned and left immediately.

He ran very quickly and looked miserable as he left.

Celeste realized what was going on. She looked at the necklace in her hand and quickly ranforward, but was stopped by the waiter in the cafe.

"I'm sorry, Miss. You haven't paid your bill yet."

Celeste was also surprised. She hurriedly took out some money to pay for the bill.

However, when she looked up again, Liam was already gone.

Celeste took the jewellery box and walked around the airport for a long time, but she couldn't findLiam at all.

Since she had no choice, she put it into her canvas bag and left.

When she arrived at the exit of the airport, she stood there, heaving a sigh of relief. However, shewas feeling a little depressed.

She reached out to hail a cab. Before she got into the car, someone suddenly grabbed her by thewrist. The force was so strong that she couldn't help but frown slightly. When she looked sideways,she was surprised and could not believe her eyes.

"Holy- why are you here?"

It was Gary.

The person she had seen through the video call every week had appeared in front of her.

It was truly surreal, and it caught her off guard. Celeste was surprised, and she started blushing.

It was really the right time for him to come. He came on the day when the results of her applicationfor a master's degree came out.

The boy in front of her was still so eye-catching, but he was more mature than he was four yearsago.

It should be said that Gary had grown taller again. Right now, he was about 1.9 meters tall. Helooked sturdy, and was much stronger than before when he was thin and frail.

She knew that Gary had been working out. Every week, he would exercise with great intensity. Hehad a toned six- pack, and his physique was something to be envied.

"Aren't you going to welcome me?"

Gary stared at her. He looked mischievous as he looked at her with a smirk, "Aren't you here to pick

It was like a dream. At that moment, Celeste's heart was pounding wildly.

She shook her head and said softly, "I'm not here to pick you up. In fact, I didn't even know youwere here. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
