Celeste blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

She looked at Gary in embarrassment.

Gary looked at her blushing face and smiled. He leaned closer to her and said, "You got her pretty good. That's my girl."

Celeste became even shyer.

She was really pissed off at the way Mrs. Wells spoke to Leah.

She didn't expect Gary to hear what she said. She smiled sheepishly. "I was mad at the way she yelled at Celeste. She's the one who asked for trouble but she's blaming it on others. How infuriating." "It's fine, honestly." Gary did not mind it at all.

'TH treat all of you to a meal." Leah cut in with a nonchalant tone. "Celeste was truly bada's just now. Thank you both."

Leah was quite touched.

Celeste helped stop Mrs. Wells from hitting her.

She always had the impression that Celeste was very ladylike, she never imagined Celeste could be so tough.

However, Celeste stood up for her.

Hence, Leah was very moved.

At that moment, she felt all her worries melt away.

Celeste was amazing!

Even if Ernest was interested in Celeste when he was younger, it made sense. Celeste was an amazing girl. There were many good things about her.

When they were the only ones left, Leah thanked Celeste earnestly. "Thanks a lot, Celeste."

Meanwhile, Celeste felt very embarrassed. "Oh, why are you being so polite to me right now?"

"Right, she's basically your sister-in-law. Why the courtesy?"

Nevertheless, Leah kept her serious expression. "Well, you and Gary are going to be my in-laws in the future."

Celeste was embarrassed at being addressed as Leah's in-law.

Gary raised his eyebrow and seemed to understand the meaning behind Leah's words. Then he glanced at Ernest.

Ernest also looked back at his brother calmly.

In fact, both brothers understood the meaning of Leah's words.

Ernest also understood that Leah had let go of her earlier misgivings about Celeste.

Leah had finally managed to put aside the fact that Ernest once had feelings for Celeste.

Ernest secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect Leah to let it go so easily.

Gary noticed that Ernest was silent and that Celeste was blushing. Furthermore, Leah was grinning brightly, so he said, "What do you mean by in the future? We're already in-laws." "Right, you're right, Gary. We are." Leah chuckled in response.

The atmosphere was very lively.

They went to the police station to give their statements.

Of course, Grace and Heinz soon found out about this matter.

They immediately called Ernest and told him to bring Leah home with him.

That night, Ernest took Leah back to the Jones family home.

The bouquet of roses that Leah had received at the restaurant was still in the car. She'd planned on taking it back home, never expecting to make

a detour.

They didn't manage to watch the movie and she had to go to Ernest's home.

Hence, she carried the bouquet all the way to the Jones family home.

When they arrived, Leah turned back to look at the huge bouquet of roses in the back seat.

Ernest was very puzzled by her actions, he asked, "Why aren't you getting out? Why are you staring at the flowers?"

Leah immediately came to her senses and shook her head. "We can't take this bouquet upstairs."

"Why not?" asked Ernest in confusion.

Leah gave him a puzzled look before she sighed. "Men will be men, no matter how observant they are."

Ernest was dumbfounded. "What's the connection between this and me being a man."

"We can't bring the flowers inside because your mom is pregnant. The fragrance that these roses give off is quite strong, it might affect the baby if your mom is irritated by the pollen. Let's just leave the flowers in the car to be safe, hmm?"

Leah smiled softly after she finished speaking.

Ernest was stunned as he looked up at Leah. He never expected her to be so observant. He never thought of that.

"Let's just go." Leah urged. "Your parents must be so worried. I feel so sorry, you know? It's all because of me."

"What does it have to do with you?" Ernest got out of the car as he spoke to her. "A lot of people have ill intentions, there's only so much we can do to prevent that. It's not your fault, Leah."

Leah was touched that Ernest thought of it that way.

Nevertheless, she still blamed herself.

At first, Leah thought that Grace and Heinz would blame her for putting Ernest in harm's way. However, she didn't expect them to care about her first. They even said that meeting the Wells family was Leah's misfortune.

They didn't think it was Leah's fault at all.

Furthermore, Grace was very concerned about her well-being.

Leah was so moved that hot tears welled up in her eyes.

Grace took the opportunity to say, "Seems like living outside isn't the safest choice. Let's have all of you move in with us."

"Mom, it should be fine after this is settled," Ernest said.

"Either way, just stay home first while we see what the Wells family does next." Grace looked over at Heinz and said, "You do as you see fit with the Wells family."

Heinz nodded and said, "I'll deal with them. The more generous you are, the greedier they get. They think that you're pushovers if you let them be, so we should strike first and let them see what we're really made of."

Both Ernest and Leah had no objection to that.

Heinz added, "Ernest, Jensen called and said that someone wants to put Hogan in jail. Do you know about this?"

"Yes, he told me."

"Do you know who that guy is?" Heinz asked. He was afraid that Ernest wouldn't be able to make sense of the whole thing, so he gave Ernest a gentle reminder.

"I'm not sure yet." Ernest didn't have any news, so of course, he wouldn't know. "Do you have any info, dad?"

"My info is all from Jensen. I'll tell you if I have more news," Heinz replied.

"All right."

After that, all of them retired to their respective rooms.

That night, all of them stayed home.

Leah had once complained that Ernest asked for too much s*x, so Ernest kept his hands to himself that night.

That night, they chatted in bed.

Ernest's tone was remorseful. "We didn't manage to see the movie we wanted. Shall we go tomorrow?" "It's better for us to stay put for the time being." Leah shook her head and said, "Let's just chat."

"About?" Ernest asked.

"Whatever you like."
