Celeste loved him, really very much. She loved him so much that she couldn't bear to let him go. She loved him so much that she chose him over her own pride. Heaven knew how importantly Celeste regarded her own pride.

However, for Gary's sake, she actually put aside her pride that time.

How incredible it was for her to do so!

Gary couldn't believe it at all himself.

Joy blossomed in his heart and he felt as if there were fireworks exploding in him.

It was impossible to describe that feeling. He only felt that it was extremely beautiful.

The love he was feeling was so beautiful that he was losing himself in it.

There was too much surprise and joy in him. For that moment, his eyes, which were looking at Celeste, were filled with even more gentleness and care.

It was so rare and precious for him to be able to regain what he had lost then.

That was something he had never expected.

Celeste somehow felt a little embarrassed in front of everyone as he continued to stare at her so intently.

Grace held Celeste's little hands and said softly, "No matter what, you shouldn't ever leave like that in the future."

"Okay." Celeste nodded.

Grace then said to Gary seriously, "Gary, from now on, you mustn't do anything that might hurt Celeste in the future. If you ever do so, dad and I will never let you go off so easily."

"Of course," Gary said in a deep voice, "I of course won't do anything to hurt Celeste, nor will I give her a chance to leave me."

In front of his parents, his promise was also a vow to Celeste.

Celeste looked up at him, and when she met his deep and blazing gaze, she became even more shy and blushed.

At that moment, Sylvia and Sebastian also went over.

Seeing such a scene, they were all overjoyed.

"Celeste, you're really back." Sylvia ran over to her happily as she hugged Celeste, the delight in her could not be described with words. "Do you know how sorrowful Gary was during the days you were gone?' Celeste also hugged Sylvia back. In front of the little girl, Celeste felt guilty that she didn't set a good example for her.

"It's all my fault." She whispered, "I've made all of you worry about me."

"Celeste." Sylvia hugged Celeste, relaxing her a little. She looked at her seriously with her face full of sincerity. "At first, I was upset with you a little deep down, but now that I'm seeing you back here, I'm not upset at all anymore."

Celeste was stunned. She didn't expect Sylvia to be so frank and sincere as to tell her all that so directly.

She also smiled embarrassedly. "I'm sorry, Sylvia." "Oh, don't apologize. If you have to apologize, I think I should apologize as well." Sylvia chuckled. "Do you know? I was talking behind your back at home, and Gary got mad at me for doing so. I said that you were being too wilful, and he got upset at me."

Celeste was startled as she secretly glanced at Gary.

Gary knitted his brows tightly together and looked at his younger sister with a warning look. Wouldn't she be making Celeste feel awkward by saying such things during that time?

He was very worried that Celeste would lose her face and be embarrassed.

Yet, Celeste just shook her head. She knew that those emotions Sylvia had were only normal.

What was more, Sylvia actually told her everything so frankly.

In fact, Celeste also felt that she was a little immature for what she did as well. Sylvia was right.

She just didn't expect that even after she left, Gary still would protect her behind her back.

She felt very happy and apologetic at the same time.

Facing Sylvia again, Celeste could only smile embarrassedly, "Sylvia, you're right. I was being too rash with my decisions. I will not do it again."

"Well, I know it's not like that." Sylvia immediately explained, "I did blame you a little when you left, but I should tell you that I don't blame you anymore now. The reason I told you about it was because I really wanted you to be with Gary so badly, that was why I was so upset when you left. The more you care and love someone, the more it bothers you. Do you understand my feelings?" "I do understand." Celeste nodded seriously.

How could she not understand? The family members in front of her all sincerely hoped that she and Gary would be well and happy together.

How could she blame them for having complaints about her when she left?

Plus, she really didn't handle the situation well enough.

People would only think it through when they reflect on their mistakes alone.

During the days when she was wandering outside alone, the closer Spring Festival approached, the lonelier and more miserable she felt. Her anxious heart earlier on had only calmed down a lot after a while. Only then did she realize what she was missing.

Also, she realized what she had done wrong.

That was why she came back.

Her pride was nothing compared to whatever Gary and the Jones family gave her, and the rest didn't matter anymore.

She only knew that if she lost Gary, she might live in the abyss of hell forever and would never be happy again.

So, she came back.

Sylvia was also very surprised to hear Celeste's words. She felt that Celeste was much warmer

then since she came back that time.

She was also much calmer than before.

People's charisma could change really easily.

Sylvia held Celeste's hand and looked at her parents with a smile.

Grace patted her and said, "Fortunately Celeste knows us well enough. If it were others hearing such words from you, they would surely be upset."

"It's because Celeste came back, I knew that she couldn't bear to leave Gary. She loves Gary as much as he loves her, and I'm happy for them," Sylvia said, "I'm not hiding anything, I'm just being totally hones with Celeste."

"All right, let's sit down. Celeste, you must be hungry. Did you get to eat well for the past few days? You've become so much thinner," Grace said with tenderness in her voice, "Come on, let's have our reunion dinner once again."

Sebastian also came over and said to Celeste, "Celeste, welcome back! May you and Gary have a joyous Spring Festival!"

"Thank you, Sebastian." Celeste thanked him.

Sebastian smiled as his heart was finally at ease when he looked at Gary again.

Celeste would always be by Gary's side in the future. With that, Gary wouldn't be so sorrowful and depressed anymore.

He really had enough of looking at the pitiful look on Gary for the past few days.

"Sebastian, go upstairs and see if Ernest and your uncle are asleep yet or not. If they are still awake, you should ask them to come downstairs," Grace told him.

"Okay, mom." Sebastian nodded and quickly went upstairs to look for Ernest.

After a while, Ernest followed Sebastian downstairs. When he saw Celeste, he smiled and said, "Celeste, it's good to see you back. Happy Spring Festival." Celeste smiled embarrassedly. "Happy Spring Festival to you too, Ernest."

At that time, Lowell also came downstairs.

When he saw Celeste, his eyes turned bright.

Lowell was very excited. "Celeste, you are really back. How great."

Looking at Lowell's excited look, Celeste suddenly felt ashamed.

"Uncle Lowell, Happy Spring Festival," she said.

"It wasn't happy at first, but now it is," Lowell said. "If you didn't come back, I would've felt really sad for the whole Spring Festival."

After all, Lowell always thought that it was his fault that Celeste left.

If it weren't for the unforgivable mistakes he had done, how would Janice even have had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

In short, when Celeste and Gary argued and broke up, Lowell found that he couldn't run away from taking the blame.

Therefore, during the period of time, Lowell was also very depressed and dispirited.

Anyway, it was just great that Celeste came back unexpectedly then.

The gloomy atmosphere of the family was finally gone.

How great it was.

He looked at Gary and everyone else and realized that the atmosphere in the house had really changed, and it was all joyful.

It was much livelier than the dinner they had earlier on.

What was more, there were so many rounds of fireworks being set off earlier too.

He was not in the mood at first, but when he saw Celeste appear in the living room at home, he immediately understood that the fireworks were set off to celebrate Celeste's return.

"Sit down, quickly. Lowell, let's have dinner once again," Grace said, "The meal we ate before does not count. This is our actual reunion dinner."

"All right, Grace." Lowell also quickly sat down.

The whole family sat together and raised their glasses to celebrate. The atmosphere was very lively.

The whole dining room was full of cheers and laughter, and the Jones family was also particularly lively.

After finishing the meal, Grace said, "Gary, you should bring Celeste back to the room."

She naturally knew that Gary and

Celeste parted from each other for a period of time, and they would need some time alone then. That was why she thought that she had to do them. a favor and take the initiative to ask them to go back upstairs.

Gary was also startled upon her request. He did not expect Grace to ask them to leave first.

For the first time, he said with embarrassment, "It's fine. We should sit here with you and dad for a bit."

Grace was delighted. He had indeed changed.

Her son was in love then, and he was not as prideful as before.

She laughed and said, "I really do want you to accompany me, but I'm pregnant and I can't stay up late anymore. I have to go upstairs for a rest. Oh, by the way, Heinz, give the gifts to the children. Accompany me upstairs after you're done,"

"Okay." Heinz took out the gifts as Sylvia hopped over towards him. "Daddy, are these all the same gifts?"

"Yes, they're all the same," Heinz said. "Give two of them to Ernest and ask him to give one to Leah."

"Oh, all right." Sylvia took the gifts over and gave one to Lowell, then to Gary, Celeste, then Ernest and Leah's together. Only then, she gave Sebastian another one, and the last one was for herself. After giving them the gifts, Heinz brought his dear wife back upstairs.
