True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2011

"Celeste!" Gary's eyes reddened too upon hearing what Celeste said. He thought he could get hold of his own emotions but it seemed that he was wrong about himself.

"Celeste, don't say that. You're not in the wrong," Gary shook his head in dismay, "I'm the one at fault. You did nothing wrong. That d*mn woman and I are the ones who made a mistake."

Celeste shook her head as tears flowed down her cheeks, "I was wrong for being too greedy. I was wrong for asking too much of you."

"Celeste, don't say that. It makes me feel worse," Gary's voice grew hoarse as his eyes reddened.

He was still trying to hold back his emotions.

Similarly, Celeste bit her lip tightly, trying hard to not let her tears fall.

Crying would only make her look weak.

She no longer liked using her tears to express her emotions, yet she couldn't seem to control her emotions at that moment.

She looked away, refusing to look at Gary again. Celeste pursed her lips tightly as a bitter sense of grievance filled her heart.

She had not cried in a long time, although she felt like she had been suffering much.

However, it was true that she had been really happy recently to the point that she had repressed all her inner feelings.

It all started when Gary went all the way to London to find her and later when she followed him to Boston.

They were really getting along well at that time.

If Janice wasn't suddenly pregnant, perhaps Celeste and Gary could always stay happy like this.

However, that wasn't the case for them.

It had gotten so bad that Celeste even started wondering if she was destined to live a miserable life.

She felt that it was as if she could never get rid of her misfortune.

She would drag whoever was close to her into an abyss. In fact, it was the same with Cindy too.

And now, it was Gary's turn to be riddled with misfortune.

Celeste felt like she was causing all these misfortunes to the people around her.

Noticing that Celeste was refusing to look at him and even turning her back on him, Gary felt even more sorry towards her.

His heart was aching.

He would never let Celeste cry if he could.

Gary felt as if his heart was being torn into two upon seeing the woman he loved shedding a tear in front of him.

"Celeste, it's all my fault," Gary knelt down on one knee by the bed. He took her face in his hands, forcing her to look at him as he said, "I know you will still be upset at me no matter what I tell you."

Celeste lowered her gaze as her tears started rolling down her cheeks once again.

Feeling her tears in his palms, Gary's heart ached.

"I'll respect your decision this time, no matter what it is," Gary still came to this conclusion.

Celeste's chest tightened. She knew Gary was someone who would always take the initiative to strike first.

It was clear to her that he was left with no choice but to let her make the decision this time.

Celeste's gaze froze upon realizing this.

She didn't know what to do.

If she knew what step she should take, she wouldn't be in so much pain.

Celeste knew that Gary was respecting her decision, but she just couldn't make up her mind.

Taking a deep breath, Celeste ignored the pain in her heart and said, "I don't know what to do either. I think I just need some time alone for now."

"To be honest, I don't want to break up with you, but I can't let this go either for the time being. This is the only solution I can think of for now." "Celeste, I understand. I'll wait for you to make up your mind," Gary replied.

Celeste was promptly startled.

She was only in so much pain because she didn't know what to do.

If she could make a decision, she would not be in such a predicament.

After a moment of silence, Celeste asked, "It isn't proven yet, is it?"

Gary was startled and didn't reply.

Celeste glanced at him. She took a deep breath and wiped her tears away. She looked much calmer than before.

"Is it proven that the baby is yours?" Celeste asked again.

Gary nodded, "Yes, the results showed that the baby is mine."

Celeste was in a daze. She could only try to smile amidst her tears despite feeling like she was being torn apart.

"Did you do a DNA test?" Celeste asked.

"Yes," Gary didn't want to hide anything from Celeste and told her everything. "Lowell helped me conduct a checkup, and I went somewhere else to check just to make sure there weren't any errors. All the results have pointed to the fact that the baby is mine."

Gary simply didn't know how he and Janice ended up with a baby.

He was too drunk at that time. The fact that he could even do anything when he was that drunk was already a surprise to him.

However, it was evident that she was carrying his child. He could only face the harsh reality.

Gary was utterly dumbfounded.

Celeste froze momentarily, refusing

to look at Gary After a while, she suggested, "that's the case, then let's just keep things as they are for the time being. I think I'll continue my studies in Boston once the break is over. We can't let Aunt Grace notice anything either. She's still pregnant now, and we should be more careful around her. Do you agree?"

Gary could only nod.

What else could he say?

Celeste was being really mature in handling this.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

She must be in great pain after learning the truth, yet she was still thinking about his mother's wellbeing. This made Gary feel even more guilty. "Celeste, I'll still take care of you in Boston. I'll make sure that Janice won't have the chance to cause any trouble for you," Gary declared. "Didn't you promise to make her your girlfriend?" Celeste asked faintly, "I'm sure Janice will leave me alone if that's the case."

"So she's already told you," A cold and murderous glint flashed across Gary's eyes.

"I know you have your own reason for doing so," Celeste sighed, "And I know you were left with no choice to make that decision. I still respect that."

"Celeste, are you ending things with me?" Gary asked.

He feared most to hear Celeste breaking up with him.

And it seemed that Celeste had at least thought of this.

It was especially evident since she mentioned that they should keep things as they were when around Grace. This meant that she would end things between them after she left for Boston.

Celeste shook her head, "I haven't thought of that.

We'll see how things are after I'm back in Boston. But then again, I can never allow you to be another woman's boyfriend while we're still dating."

Gary was startled. Hesitation flashed across his eyes.

"Tell her that you won't be her boyfriend," Celeste suddenly demanded.

Gary was stunned.

"What? Are you not willing to do so?" Celeste met his gaze. Her expression was sincere and calm.

Gary's heart trembled at the sight of her.

"Of course not, I will never want to be her boyfriend."

He would rather die than be Janice's boyfriend. He only made that promise for Lowell's sake.

That was the only reason.

"You never thought that Janice was

a problematic person," Celeste said, "I also figured that you might be curious to know what Janice told

me. I can call her now so that you can listen for yourself and see her true colors."

"Celeste," Gary called out in a concerned tone, "I believe you. It doesn't matter to me what person she is. I only trust you."

"Maybe I'm being weird but I still want you to see her true colors," Celeste insisted, "Just treat this as me being stubborn. I want to do this."

Gary had no choice but to give in.

With that, Celeste picked up her phone and called Janice.

Gary watched as Celeste called Janice. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He was afraid that Celeste would get angry.

After all, he knew how disgusted she would be to be talking to Janice.

However, he couldn't refuse Celeste either as this wasn't out of the line at all.

The call was connected almost immediately.

On the other end of the line came Janice's slightly excited and proud voice. It seemed that she could not wait to know why Celeste had made this call.

"Hey, Celeste," Janice's gleeful voice could be heard, "Have you finally thought things through and decided to end things with Gary? Is this why you

called me?"

"No," Celeste said in a calm tone.

She put the call on speaker, and even on maximum volume. Janice's voice could be heard clearly in the room.

"Are you trying to make a fool of

yourself then?" Janice's tone immediately grew harsh, "Now that Gary and are already like this, do

you still want to stick with Gary? Arent you embarrassed for yourself?"

Gary frowned hard upon hearing this. His fists were clenched tightly and he wanted to say something.

However, Celeste gave him a look and stopped him from saying anything.

Hence, Gary could only endure his anger in silence.

Celeste then continued faintly, "Maybe you're right this time. I really don't care about embarrassing myself anymore this time."

Gary and Janice were both surprised to hear this. Janice immediately reacted by snapping aggressively, "What do you mean by that?"

This was probably one of Celeste's unique traits.

She had a willpower made of steel.

She wouldn't bother about the threats she received from others. She would only consider her own thoughts and feelings.
