True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1952 The Four Children Of The Jones Family, Gary Smith (Part 727)

Leah chuckled unabashedly. "Thank you for the compliment, Gary. I will continue to work hard."

Gary's lips twitched. Who was praising her? He was obviously mocking her just now.

Leah, on the other hand, was unaffected.

Ernest could tell that Gary was mocking Leah. However, Leah was a strong woman, so she was easily able to retort back. Moreover, she did it so flawlessly and effortlessly, which amused him greatly.

Leah was awesome!

Ernest's lips twitched as well as he took Leah's hands and said, "You're really something."

"Why should we be modest? This is a type of selfconfidence," Leah said with a smile, "Confidence is a trait that is necessary for success. How can we not have confidence? Isn't that right? Gary, Celeste?" Upon hearing her words, Gary's lips twitched once more. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's right."

Celeste also forced a smile. They were in an awkward situation, but she knew that Leah meant no harm and was just making fun of Gary.

"Leah, you are so confident." Celeste looked at Leah and said.

"Gary, do you see that? Even Celeste is praising me." Leah lifted her head and looked at Gary with a smug face.

Gary turned to look at Celeste. Because they were in the dark and it was rude to shine the torch on people's faces, he could not see Celeste's face clearly.

However, Gary concluded that Celeste was in high spirits at this moment.

Perhaps it was because they were with Ernest and Leah, Celeste dropped her cautiousness and was in a good state.

Seeing how happy Celeste was, Gary was happy too. At least, Celeste was working hard to mix in with the whole family.

It seemed that Celeste was really enjoying the feeling of family affection.

She cherished it.

Gary held Celeste's hand tightly, smiled, and said, "Leah is right, we should be more confident. You as well, Celeste." "It is easy for Celeste to be confident. You just have to stop being so domineering," Leah said casually, "If a man respects a woman enough. Then just as Ernest said, a woman can surely be confident."

"I still prefer a timid and lovable woman," Gary retorted, "Celeste is perfect. Not too much, not too little."

"Gary." Leah laughed, "This might be unpleasant to hear, but a man who loves a timid woman is considered chauvinistic."

Gary frowned when he heard these words. He then retorted, "Ernest loves timid girls too."

Upon hearing this, Leah immediately looked towards Ernest, the flashlight in her hand unhesitatingly shining on his handsome face.

However, when the strong light shone on him, he subconsciously frowned.

Leah moved the flashlight away from his face and asked him, "How about I pretend to be a weak little woman in the future? Will you enjoy it?"

Ernest's mouth twitched and he said, "Forget it, you don't need to change at all. I know what kind of woman I like. You don't have to take his words to heart."

"Well, what kind of woman do you like?" Gary immediately asked him.

In reality, Leah also wanted to know.

However, she knew that Gary would deliberately ask that question. Was he trying to sow discord between them?

He was purposefully asking questions like this for fun.

Naturally, Leah was not angry. She smiled and said, "Gary, what are you talking about? What kind of woman does he like? Of course, he favors women like me. Could it be that you like another woman? How unreasonable for you to have those thoughts."

"Haha." Gary was amused by how Leah was helping Ernest speak.

That time, he wasn't being sarcastic in his praise.

"Leah, you are so considerate. To be honest, it is really a good thing that Ernest found you."

"Gary, you found Celeste too, which is also a blessing for you. Celeste is such a gentle and beautiful woman. Even a woman like me is moved by her. So, you are really lucky to have a girl like her."

"I like hearing what you just said." Gary smiled and continued, "Looks like we are all lucky."

Ernest could not help but look at Leah. She seemed to have relaxed.

It was the best state for her to be in. She would not be angry no matter what he said. Instead, she would continue to feel happy.

In conclusion, Ernest felt exceptionally comfortable when he saw how happy Leah was.

"Of course, so we should cherish this." Leah smiled and shook Ernest's hands.

She realized that both Ernest and Celeste did not like to talk.

They had similar personalities. Both of them were quiet people.

They were so similar in personalities that they probably weren't suitable to live together.

Because it would be too dull. Leah suddenly laughed when she thought about it. She felt that she was truly a perfect match for Ernest.

"What are you laughing at?" Ernest was puzzled when he realized that Leah could not stop laughing.

"It's nothing." Leah shook her head. In any case, she was very happy. No matter what Ernest asked, she would answer that way.

"Leah must be happy." Gary held Celeste's hand and walked in front, he did not forget to tease Leah while he was at it.

Ernest looked at Leah again and silently asked her, "Really?"

Leah kept laughing and did not say anything.

"Her silence means everything." Gary smiled and said, "She is happy because her boyfriend is so considerate too. What's there to worry about? Of course, look at her happy smile."

"Just because I'm not smiling, I'm not happy?" Celeste suddenly asked.

As soon as she finished saying that, everyone else present was stunned.

With that, Leah burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Celeste, you are so cute. What a great question." Leah sincerely praised her. "Gary, she's right. Is Celeste unhappy just because she didn't smile? Gary, you need to reflect on yourself. Why can't you put a smile on Celeste's face? Can't you make her happy?"

Gary felt a little helpless. He turned his head and looked at Ernest and Leah. He stopped and said to Ernest, "Aren't you going to lecture your woman? Is it appropriate for her to humiliate your brother?" "We're the same," Ernest replied in a calm and flat tone, "As a brother, you are always making fun of us from time to time too. Aren't you ashamed to ask people to respect you?"

"Then judging by your words, it means that it doesn't matter what I say, I will always be wrong?" Gary asked back.

"As the eldest brother, you should show some

forbearance," Celeste said once more.

Celeste was completely on Ernest and Leah's side. All of them started to criticize Gary, the battle turned to three against one.

Seeing how happy and quick Celeste was in joining them to make fun of him, Gary was helpless.

"Are you happy?" He looked at Celeste.

Celeste also looked up and her heart skipped a beat.

Was Gary angry?

Couldn't she even make a joke now?

Gary noticed how careful Celeste was when she was looking at him and his heart skipped a beat and his heart ached a little.

It seemed that Celeste was still too cautious, she was afraid that he would get angry.

Actually, he was not angry at all.

He was just helpless in the face of Celeste being so worried. He was distressed and full of regret.

Was he making Celeste feel so uneasy?

He gazed at Celeste helplessly, staring at her face for a long time. Celeste paused for a moment before she whispered, "I'm okay."

In the end, she still spoke.

Even though she said it in a low voice, she still said it. Gary also felt a little better after he heard it.

He immediately smiled and said, "Since ostracizing me with others makes you feel so happy, then I guess you can continue."

Celeste was stunned, realizing something. She smiled too.

Ernest and Leah realized that something was not right. Ernest said, "Gary, Leah and I will take the lead in front. You and Celeste can follow us from behind."

After that, Ernest and Leah took over.

They followed the stairs path and walked up.

"Are you unhappy?" After they were far from Ernest and Leah, Celeste asked Gary the question.

Gary shook his head. "I am not."

"But you seemed so unhappy," Celeste muttered in a low voice, "Don't think that I didn't see it."

Gary was dumbfounded. He smiled and said, "You actually saw through it?"

Celeste said, "Yes, I saw it. Now, you admitted it too. Are you unhappy?"

Gary nodded, he admitted to it, "I was a little unhappy." "Are you angry because I stood on their side and made fun of you?" Celeste felt that was the case. He was angry for being ostracized. "No." Gary shook his head.

"Then what is it?"

"I am angry because of how careful you are. I am angry at myself, for I turned you into such a cautious person."

The moment he replied, Celeste was stunned speechless.

"Why would you think that way?"

"There is nothing wrong with mythinking. Isn't this a normal thing?" Gary smiled. "My girlfriend is being so cautious even when facing my dominance. Shouldn't I reflect on my actions?" Celeste laughed, she held Gary's fingers tightly. "I am happy that you are considerate towards me."

"You say it like I haven't been considerate to you before. How heartless."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Celeste immediately apologized. "I didn't mean that. I just think that you are really great."
