When Ernest went upstairs, he looked at Leah, seemed to be thinking about something. "Why did you say that to Gary just now?"

Leah glanced at Ernest and asked, "You understood what your brother said, so why ask me? Do you need to ask when you already know why?"

Hearing that, Ernest raised his eyebrows and then looked at Leah, pondering in deep thoughts. "Then, you must also know what Gary and I meant just now, right?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Leah smiled, looking at Ernest with suspicion in her eyes.

Ernest was a little embarrassed by her gaze. He couldn't help but to ask, "What do you want to say? Don't keep me guessing. I really want to know. Just tell me already."

"Well, since you asked for it, I'll say it," Leah said without hesitation. She cleared her throat and continued to say, "I roughly understood what you and your brother omitted just now." Ernest really felt that Leah was very smart.

Leah smiled and said, "When your brother said that or he wouldn't have let Celeste go to England to study', I figure that he is very accurate at judging people. He has been right from the beginning. You won't really pursue Celeste, so he can trust Celeste to go to London to study with you."

Ernest raised his eyebrows. Leah was really sharp. She could analyze so many things from just one sentence.

"From the way Gary said it, I think this should be what he meant, and it is also an example to prove that his judgment was right. This is an important example here. Celeste is the woman he loves deeply and yet he let her go to London, which means that he is very accurate at judging people. He judged right about you, and also Celeste," Leah explained.

Leah sighed when she reached that point.

Ernest looked at her.

Leah smiled at him and said, "He is really bold. He took such a risk. However, what if he's wrong? I can't take risks like this and I can't do it, especially when it comes to matters like this. Hence, I think your brother is amazing."

Leah looked at Ernest, then smiled and said, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Ernest was actually a little taken aback by Leah's detailed and sharp analysis.

He nodded. "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that your analysis does make a lot of sense."

"Mm." Leah nodded. "Of course, my analysis definitely makes sense. You have no way to refute it either, right?"

Ernest nodded. "No."

Leah also laughed.

Both of them were in Ernest's room, and Leah was sitting in his chair.

Looking for the old study materials, Ernest asked, "Then, would you still suspect that I have any feelings towards Celeste?"

Leah smiled, a little bitter. "You admitted it yourself that you used to like Celeste."

That time, she and Maria overheard his conversation with Liam in a villa in London.

At that time, Liam also said that he liked Celeste.

It was an unprecedented shock to Leah.

From that time on, Leah knew that gentle and quiet girls like Celeste were the most charming and popular type among men.

Ernest was stunned. He looked down at Leah with a deep gaze, and felt very sorry for her.

He looked at Leah and said softly, "Isn't this matter over already?"

Leah smiled as she looked up at him, her eyes fixed on his for a moment.

She smiled brightly. "It doesn't matter. I know you've liked Celeste before, and I've also accepted it. After all, it was some of your feelings when you were young. At that time, you two weren't that fated. On the other hand, Gary was really fated with Celeste, and that's how they end up together, while you are fated with me."

Upon hearing Leah's words, Ernest's eyes twitched. He felt a little distressed.

He reached out and pulled Leah up, holding her in his embrace.

"Leah, don't mind those things, okay?" Ernest softly said.

His face was buried in Leah's neck. His voice was also stuffy and filled with deep regret.

Leah nodded and smiled. She stretched out her hand and caressed his back gently. "I don't mind it anymore. As you've just said, it's all over."

Ernest still felt his heart ache. He hugged Leah tightly and felt a little uncomfortable.

Leah smiled and continued, "That's why I feel that I'm especially impressed by your brother when I feel what I'm feeling now. He's actually willing to part with the woman he likes and let her go studying with his rival in love. He's truly open-hearted."

Hearing that, Ernest got even more upset as he felt even guiltier deep down.

He held Leah tightly. "Leah, let's not talk about it, shall we?"

"All right, let's hurry up and look for the materials for Sylvia. I'm also getting a little excited." Leah reached out and patted his back.

Ernest lowered his head and looked at Leah. His eyes were filled with pained emotions.

"Please, hurry up." Leah laughed. She took a deep breath and said, "The way you look at me makes me feel like I'm a jealous woman."

"No." Ernest shook his head and gently covered Leah's lips with his slender fingers. He whispered, "You are not, Leah."

Leah once again smiled. She looked at Ernest and laughed in a much more relaxed manner. "In that case, you should quickly go and look for the materials."

"Yeah." Only then did Ernest continue to look for the materials.

Leah watched him looking for it, and she was also looking at his books at the side.

"Are all these your books from high school?" Leah looked at his bookshelf and asked.

"Yes." Ernest was also reading his own notes.

Leah browsed through them for a while and then asked, "Can I have a look?"

"Of course, you can look at whatever you want," said Ernest very generously.

Leah smiled and picked up a textbook. It should be his English language textbook from high school when he was in senior grade two.

She picked it up and flipped through it casually. By accident, she saw a portrait on one page of the book. It was a portrait of a girl. Leah froze with just a glance.

That's because that portrait was of Celeste.

Leah's heart was hurt by it.

She closed the textbook quickly, but her action was rather obvious, which attracted Ernest's attention.

Ernest looked at her, feeling puzzled and asked, "Why did you suddenly close it?"

"No, nothing." Leah smiled, but no matter how Ernest looked at it, her smile felt very unnatural.

Ernest looked at the book in her hand in confusion as he thought about it. Suddenly, he realized something and he took it from Leah.

Leah's expression stiffened, but she still didn't give it to Ernest. Instead, she pursed her lips and said, "Hurry and replace the materials. Don't look at this. This book is well preserved and complete. You're a person who loves books. I think every straight-A student keeps their books like this."

After that, Leah smiled again.

As Ernest looked at the book in Leah's hand, his eyes narrowed.

He remembered what was in the book.

He reached out his hand and said to Leah, "Give me the book."

Leah quickly waved her hand and turned to the other side. "Look for the materials. I still want to take a look at this book."

Although she turned away from Ernest, her back was straight and stiff.

She did not have the courage to continue flipping through what she had just seen.

She just felt a little sad and depressed.

She knew that it was a thing of the past and she should not be bothered by it, but she still felt jealous.

For the first time, Leah felt that she was actually so petty.

It turned out that she was a girl who would easily get jealous.

She felt that she was a very sad person.

She really didn't want to live as the kind of person she hated the most.

After a bitter smile, Leah subtly adjusted her mood and continued to read the textbook.

Except for the portrait inside, everything else was great in the book.

Ernest was a person who loved books. Although he had read the books many times, the pages were still very fresh and complete.

Ernest stared at her back. At that moment, he felt that she was very strange. He wanted to go over, but he felt that he shouldn't bother Leah.

Just like that, he continued to look for the study materials.

He found them at last.

He said to Leah, "I found the notes. These should be the important notes that I summarized back then, and there's also a collection of tough questions, which I printed out."

Leah turned back and put the textbook back on the bookshelf. She said to Ernest, "That's great. Sylvia would need your collection of tough questions, as her textbook is the same as yours back then. She can surely use it."

"I'll print a new copy from my computer," said

Ernest. "Wait for me."
