"Cousin- in- law?" Maria was truly taken aback. Gary was really good at stirring up trouble.
"My woman will be your cousin-in-law, isn't that the case?" Gary's eyebrows furrowed as he was very unhappy, "Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, of course not," Maria immediately shook her head.
"Then that's all."
"I was just a little surprised that you would admit it so easily," Maria looked at him incredulously, "You really surprised me."
That was because he had never admitted it. Even if they all knew what he was thinking, Gary would never admit it.
At the very least, he would never admit in person that he liked Celeste.
However, Gary had admitted his relationship with Celeste so easily now. It was absolutely unheard of.
Maria was really surprised.
"What's with that look in your eyes?" Gary looked at Maria and scowled, "If there's nothing else, then hurry up and get on with your business." "Sure," Maria quickly smiled, "I want to talk to my dear cousin- in- law about something. Where is she?"
Maria had quickly adapted to calling Celeste differently. In fact, it sounded pretty nice to the ear.
Since they had woken up, it shouldn't be a big deal to disturb them.
Maria tried to reach out and greet Celeste, but Gary closed the door almost reflexively.
He blocked her line of sight and made it clear that Maria couldn't see her.
Maria shrugged when she didn't see Celeste. She was confused and asked, "What's the matter? I really have something to discuss with Celeste."
"She's asleep," Gary's voice was deliberately softly, "If there's nothing important to say, don't disturb her."
"Don't worry, I won't disturb her," Maria shot a smirk towards Gary. Her eyes swept over him for a while before she chuckled, "I know Celeste hasn't slept since 2:30 last night. You're both too noisy. When I got up to drink water, I was shocked by the sounds."
Gary didn't feel flustered at all. He looked at his cousin coldly without avoiding her gaze, "You're too timid. You should get used to it." "I'm impressed, Gary. You've got quite the stamina," Maria reached out and patted Gary on the shoulder.
"Don't touch me," Gary coldly chided.
"What's the matter?"
"Celeste's the only one who can touch me," Gary spoke lightly, his tone full of disgust, "Even if we're cousins, you're not allowed to lay a finger on me!"
Maria was stunned and rolled her eyes at him, "You're ridiculous. I'm your cousin."
"My cousin can't do that either."
"I am not a woman, I am a girl."
"You don't have to remind me. You're not young anymore. Don't just hang onto Liam. If you do, you might never experience what it means to be a woman."
"Gary Smith!" Maria stomped her feet in anger.
"Don't shout. If you wake Celeste, I'll get angry."
Maria was really done with him.
She felt an urge to beat him up, but soon she calmed herself down.
"You're really one of a kind, Gary. Only Celeste can touch your body? Haha! Very well. Remember to continue this for Celeste's sake. If I see a woman touch you in the future, I will definitely report it to Celeste and tell her that you cheated on her." "Of course," Gary still had a livid expression on his face. Whenever he thought of Celeste, his ice-cold eyes would instantly overflow with a spring-like warmth. It was a heart-touching sight to behold.
"Haha!" Maria shook her head and sighed, "When did my insufferably arrogant cousin become such a young man?"
"You're wrong," Gary corrected her, "I'm no longer a young man."
Maria was taken aback.
I m a man.
Maria could only gape in shock, "You... you don't need to make such a bold declaration, do you? You're just taking advantage of Celeste."
"So what?" There was a hint of pride in Gary's eyes as he scoffed, "Celeste and I both consented to it."
"I didn't say it has anything to do with me either. Gary, why are you being so unreasonable? What's so great about you becoming a man?"
What a joke. She was now arguing with him about this.
