When Ernest went upstairs, he looked at Leah, seemed to be thinking about something. "Why did you say that to Gary just now?"
Leah glanced at Ernest and asked, "You understood what your brother said, so why ask me? Do you need to ask when you already know why?"
Hearing that, Ernest raised his eyebrows and then looked at Leah, pondering in deep thoughts. "Then, you must also know what Gary and I meant just now, right?"
"Do you really want to hear it?" Leah smiled, looking at Ernest with suspicion in her eyes.
Ernest was a little embarrassed by her gaze. He couldn't help but to ask, "What do you want to say? Don't keep me guessing. I really want to know. Just tell me already."
"Well, since you asked for it, I'll say it," Leah said without hesitation. She cleared her throat and continued to say, "I roughly understood what you and your brother omitted just now."
Ernest really felt that Leah was very smart.
Leah smiled and said, "When your brother said that or he wouldn't have let Celeste go to England to study', I figure that he is very accurate at judging people. He has been right from the beginning. You won't really pursue Celeste, so he can trust Celeste to go to London to study with you."
Ernest raised his eyebrows. Leah was really sharp. She could analyze so many things from just one sentence.
"From the way Gary said it, I think this should be what he meant, and it is also an example to prove that his judgment was right. This is an important example here. Celeste is the woman he loves deeply and yet he let her go to London, which means that he is very accurate at judging people. He judged right about you, and also Celeste," Leah explained.
Leah sighed when she reached that point.
Ernest looked at her.
Leah smiled at him and said, "He is really bold. He took such a risk. However, what if he's wrong? I can't take risks like this and I can't do it, especially when it comes to matters like this. Hence, I think your brother is amazing."
Leah looked at Ernest, then smiled and said, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Ernest was actually a little taken aback by Leah's detailed and sharp analysis.
He nodded. "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that your analysis does make a lot of sense."
"Mm." Leah nodded. "Of course, my analysis definitely makes sense. You have no way to refute it either, right?"
Ernest nodded. "No."
Leah also laughed.
Both of them were in Ernest's room, and Leah was sitting in his chair.
Looking for the old study materials, Ernest asked, "Then, would you still suspect that I have any feelings towards Celeste?"
Leah smiled, a little bitter. "You admitted it yourself that you used to like Celeste."
That time, she and Maria overheard his conversation with Liam in a villa in London.
At that time, Liam also said that he liked Celeste.
It was an unprecedented shock to Leah.
From that time on, Leah knew that gentle and quiet girls like Celeste were the most charming and popular type among men.
Ernest was stunned. He looked down at Leah with a deep gaze, and felt very sorry for her.
He looked at Leah and said softly, "Isn't this matter over already?"
Leah smiled as she looked up at him, her eyes fixed on his for a moment.
She smiled brightly. "It doesn't matter. I know you've liked Celeste before, and I've also accepted it. After all, it was some of your feelings when you were young. At that time, you two weren't that fated. On the other hand, Gary was really fated with Celeste, and that's how they end up together, while you are fated with me."
Upon hearing Leah's words, Ernest's eyes twitched. He felt a little distressed.
He reached out and pulled Leah up, holding her in his embrace.
"Leah, don't mind those things, okay?" Ernest softly said.
His face was buried in Leah's neck. His voice was also stuffy and filled with deep regret.
Leah nodded and smiled. She stretched out her hand and caressed his back gently. "I don't mind it anymore. As you've just said, it's all over."
Ernest still felt his heart ache. He hugged Leah tightly and felt a little uncomfortable.
Leah smiled and continued, "That's why I feel that I'm especially impressed by your brother when I feel what I'm feeling now. He's actually willing to part with the woman he likes and let her go studying with his rival in love. He's truly open-hearted."
Hearing that, Ernest got even more upset as he felt even guiltier deep down.
He held Leah tightly. "Leah, let's not talk about it, shall we?"
"All right, let's hurry up and look for the materials for Sylvia. I'm also getting a little excited." Leah reached out and patted his back.
Ernest lowered his head and looked at Leah. His eyes were filled with pained emotions.
