Female Novel
Chapter 1493
On that day, Celeste went back to her home in London in the afternoon.
The previous night, she told Maria a lot of things about her relationship with Gary. She also talkedabout Janice during the two days in London. Soon, Maria basically knew everything about herrelationship with Gary.
Celeste felt that she was too lonely, so she needed a friend to talk to so she could vent out herfeelings. Maria was her best friend.
They talked a lot, and after she hung up the phone, she packed up and returned to London.
Since she was staying in the room which was overflowing with her memories with Gary, she wouldmiss him even more.
Celeste would miss him just by taking a glance at the room and detecting his faint scent on thefurniture.
She couldn't control her impulses.
Her longing for him surged like a tide.
She didn't dare stay any longer, so in the end, she returned to her home in London. She felt muchbetter after meeting up with Maria.
At the very least, she would not feel so uncomfortable and uneasy.
Even if she wanted to go back to school, she would still feel that it was unbearable.
"Why do you look so listless? Your eye bags are sagging. Did you sleep well?" Maria could tell at aglance that Celeste had not slept well as she had a bleary gaze, "Was Gary too overpowering at
night and refused to let you sleep?"
Celeste felt a little guilty and said with an embarrassed smile, "That's partially the reason."
Maria immediately chuckled, "Yes, I can imagine it. Although he seems to be very cold andreserved, he is actually very sultry. Once he goes on the offense, I'm pretty sure that he will bemuch more uncontrollable than normal people would be. Your current condition tells me how sultryhe is."
"What? It's not all because of that," Celeste didn't know whether to laugh or cry and explained, "Ididn't have a good rest, that's all. When Gary left, I was on tenterhooks. I kept worrying thatsomething might happen to him, and only when he landed did I feel at ease."
"But then I found that he directly ran into Janice at the Boston Airport. Janice's the person who hasalways had feelings for him."
"I was worried that he might fall for Janice's plot. She might confess to him and choose to pursuehim. I was worried that Gary would fall in love with her. Do you know what kind of feeling that is?"
Speaking of that, Celeste smiled embarrassedly. She felt that she was petty and laughed, "Look atme. I'm so tangled up inside that I came back to talk to you."
It was rare for her to say so much at one time, so Maria was surprised.
Maria had always thought that Celeste had never been a person who talked about such an affair,but it seemed that her personality had changed a lot since she had taken the initiative to bring upsuch matters.
At the very least, confessing could relieve people's mood a lot.
"I'm surprised that you're telling me these things. You were never a person willing to tell everythingto others. However, you told me everything. Celeste, I really think that you've made progress,"Maria praised Celeste from the bottom of her heart, "You became a person who doesn't holdeverything in your heart anymore."novelbin
"Do you really think that I've made progress?" On the contrary, Celeste felt more embarrassed,"Don't you think that I'm being too jealous?"
"Girls should be a little jealous, shouldn't they? I'll tell you something and you'll understand," Marialed Celeste to her room.
Celeste followed her. Maria closed the door and took a seat before speaking.
"It's about Liam and I. Sometimes, I feel somewhat jealous when he talks to other girls, especiallywhen I think he may have feelings for another girl. I'm even more envious when that happens.Hence, I think every girl has a bit of jealousy. You don't have to feel that you're being weird.Everyone is more or less the same. It depends on how we can relieve ourselves and how we viewit."
Celeste listened to Maria's advice with a confused look on her face.
"I can't believe that you're jealous as well. I've always thought that you're a very cheerful person."Maria had the corner of her lips twitched as she shook her head, "No, I'm also a person who getsjealous easily. However, I can talk myself out of it, and I believe you can do it too."
"The moment I saw Janice yesterday, I felt uncomfortable. Besides, Gary met Janice as soon as hearrived in Boston. I was worried."
"You're worried that Janice stands a higher chance to get close to him, am I right? Plus, you'reworried that he might not be able to resist her charm," Maria pointed out the crux of the matter
directly.
Celeste nodded without hiding anything, "Yes, I'm indeed worried about it."
"Celeste, I think that instead of worrying about him, it's better for you to improve yourself so that youbecome more captivating. This is so that he will realize that he can't live without you," Mariacommented solemnly, "Janice and Gary are close, but nothing has happened to them before. Ifthere was a spark between them, it would have happened a long time ago. Why would it wait untilthis moment?"
Celeste nodded her head hesitantly, but she still couldn't feel at ease.
"Look, you and Gary are in love with each other. Both of you have been in a relationship for a longtime, and he's head over heels for you. He can't live without you."
"If he can't leave me, why would he go to the United States and prohibit me from following him?Instead of him being unable to live without me, it should be the other way around. Even now, he stilldoesn't allow me to study in Boston. I thought he would bring it up during my postgraduate studies,but he didn't.”
"In fact, there has always been a crux in your heart. You think he doesn't care about you. At least,not enough," Maria had been with Celeste all this time. How could she not understand Celeste'sthoughts?
"Exactly," Celeste nodded, "I do think so. I think that he doesn't care enough about me."
"The reason is that you love him slightly more than he does. In this case, you can only improveyourself. If you become even more attractive, I believe that he won't be able to forget about yougiven Gary's intelligence. Hence, instead of leaving yourself in a state of fear, you should take this
opportunity to turn yourself into the most charming person you can ever be. Naturally, Janice will beleft behind."
Celeste understood Maria's meaning and nodded, "I totally understand what you said, butsometimes, I just can't do it. Perhaps it will be better for me to ponder on this issue for two or threedays like when we first came to England. It'll be better once I adapt to it."
"Celeste, you can do it," Maria comforted her with great strength, "You can really do it. Believe me.You've always been independent. I think you can definitely do it."
"I have to plan my own life and future. I love him too much, so I must be the one who understandshim the best. Otherwise, even if he loves me, he'll grow sick of me," Celeste muttered.
"That's right, let's make that our focus together. Let's study and improve together to become thebest version of ourselves," Maria proposed, "Let the man we love feel proud of us. To ensure thatwe have a lasting and meaningful relationship, we should strive to become the best. This is the bestway of loving each other."
"Alright, let's study together," Celeste quickly grabbed a book from her room and returned to Maria'sroom to read together.
After looking at it for some time, they were tired and chatted for a while. The feeling of studyingtogether was a lot better. At least, they didn't feel lonely.
After Celeste stopped, her longing for Gary had also dissipated by quite a bit.
In the afternoon, Maria received an invitation on her phone for a video call. Celeste glanced at itinadvertently and realized that it was Liam.
She smiled slightly and said, "Liam's video calling you. You should pick it up. I'll leave first and Iwon't bother you two."
Celeste planned to exit the room, leaving some personal space for Maria and Liam.
Maria thought about it for a while before stopping
Celeste all of a sudden, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry, Celeste. Why don't you say hello to Liamas well? We all know each other anyway."
Celeste was stunned and burst into laughter, "I guess I should say hello and congratulate him.However, I'll leave after greeting him."
"Alright then, let's exchange greetings," After saying that, Maria accepted the video call invitation.
The very next second, Liam's handsome face popped out in front of her. When he saw the two girlsin the video, he was slightly stunned.
The astonishment on his handsome face was evident. Both Maria and Celeste noticed it.
Maria still felt a little nervous. She knew very well Celeste's position in Liam's heart, and she alsoknew that Liam had always been thinking about Celeste.
That was what worried her the most.
Even though Liam was with Maria at that moment, she felt that he was retreating for the secondbest. Nevertheless, Maria's only thought upon stopping Celeste from leaving was the greed for Liamto face the two of them openly.
