Originally, Maria just wanted to give Ernest a reminder, but she was shocked by his words. She felt that she had really misjudged the situation.
There was nothing wrong with Ernest since he was well-prepared. She was just overly worried.
Seeing that he was calm, she nodded and felt relieved.
"I know. I have a hunch that Celeste will become my cousin-in-law," Maria said with a smile, "Ernest, what kind of girl will you bring back in the future?" Ernest took a look at her sharply.
Maria smiled and shrugged, "I'm going upstairs."
Ernest didn't say anything. Watching as Maria left, he closed his eyes again.
Maria did not return to her room immediately. Instead, she stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked up in the direction of the third floor.
She felt that it was necessary to call them down so that they could spend some time together.
Therefore, Maria shouted.
"Celeste, where are you?"
Her voice was loud and clear.
In the room upstairs, Celeste was still sitting on Gary's lap. Maria's voice was so loud that it almost made her jump.
However, Gary wrapped his arm around her waist and didn't let her leave.
Hence, Celeste couldn't move.
"Maria's calling me," Celeste reminded him.
"Ugh, she's insufferable," Gary said with a pout.
Celeste didn't know if he was talking about her or Maria.
She could only look at Gary pathetically.
"I'm talking about her," Gary said.
Celeste still looked at him the same way.
"Celeste? Where are you? You're on the third floor, aren't you?" Maria suppressed her laughter. She felt that whatever she was doing now would definitely disturb Gary's plans.
However, it didn't matter.
After all, Gary had come back with an aloof expression.
"Wait! I'm on the third floor," Celeste finally answered and struggled to break free from Gary's arms.
Gary still refused to let go.
Celeste had no choice but to reach out to pry his big hands away, but he hugged her and gave her a big kiss.
She was short of breath and her lips hurt a little.
Celeste tried to shove him away.
Gary took another bite on her lips lightly. Only then did he let go of Celeste.
Celeste immediately jumped up. She was blushing furiously, and her lips were red and swollen. With just one glance, anyone could tell what had happened.
"You... you are horrid!" She complained. She quickly ran too the door and opened it.
Behind her, Gary took a deep breath. He sat there with a heavy expression on his face. He was unhappy that someone had interrupted his time with Celeste.
Meanwhile, Maria had already come up. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw Celeste's blushing face after opening the door. When she saw her red and slightly swollen lips, Maria's eyes twinkled as she smiled evilly. The smile on her face embarrassed Celeste even more.
"When did you come back?" Maria spoke first as she stood at the door. Then, she stretched out her head to peek inside.
"Just now," Celeste's voice was barely audible.
"You didn't tell me that you were back. I went to your room to find you, but I didn't see anyone. I only saw a bag," Maria complained, "It seems that Gary is just too charming. The first thing you did when you came back was to meet with him first."
