After a few days later, both meet in the standard apartment to have tea, and Daisy was sincerely surprised to see his friend Gatsby after six years down the line.

When he returned to the house, both looked fully reconciled, and Gatsby was much happier than before, while on the other hand, Daisy was full of tears. As time goes on, the two couples become social, and Tom is informed about Gatsby’s association with Daisy.
