True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1282

Maria and Celeste went back to Celeste's room immediately. Closing the door, Maria lowered her voice and asked urgently, "Why did Ernest ask you about your major?"

In Maria's opinion, Ernest had a motive for asking Celeste about her major.

Celeste did not know whether to laugh or cry at Maria's mysterious intuition, "He's probably just asking."

"Just asking?" Maria curled her lips and didn't agree at all, "Celeste, you are too simple-minded sometimes. See here, people don't get up early without a reason. If not, I'm sure everyone would want to sleep in. So, if people ask you questions out of the blue, they definitely have a hidden purpose."

"What's his purpose then?" Celeste laughed helplessly, "Don't you think you're overthinking? He's your cousin, so don't think so badly about him."

"Sigh," As soon as Maria heard Celeste's tone, she knew that Celeste was too naive. She could only drop the topic and say, "Well, I admit that I'm narrow-minded. So, what are you going to choose?"

"I haven't decided yet," Celeste hesitated and wanted to ask Maria about her opinion, but she felt that she couldn't say everything. If she told her everything, she wouldn't feel like herself.

Reading her thoughts, Maria decided to take initiative, "What do you want to say? Just go ahead and tell me. Why are you hesitating?"

"Gary called me earlier and asked me what I would major in," Celeste's delicate brows furrowed as she looked at Maria with a conflicted expression.

"Wait, let me guess," Maria was very smart. She looked at Celeste and gave her opinion, "If I am not overthinking things, Gary wants you to choose a major that matches his so that it will be convenient in the future, right?"

Celeste was extremely surprised.

She looked at Maria in disbelief. How did she guess it right?

Did she know Gary that well?

"You don't have to answer. Looking at how surprised you are, I can tell that I hit the nail on the head," Maria said with a sigh, "Gary is a very overbearing person to want you to choose a major that matches his. However, I have to say that he is really taking things seriously. Looks like he's very serious about taking this relationship of yours into the future. He's included your future life into his plans as well."

Celeste's heart suddenly throbbed, and she felt a little nervous.

Had he included her life into his plans?

Was he that serious because he cared about her choice?

Before, she was annoyed that he was so bossy to interfere in her choices of her university majors. But now, after hearing Maria's words, she felt extremely shocked.

Suddenly, she realized that she had been very rude towards him.

"What? Did you refuse him?" Maria asked with concern.

Celeste nodded and admitted, "I was in a bad mood when I heard that he wanted to interfere with my choices. So, I didn't tell him."

In short, she hated being easily manipulated and being forced to change her future aspirations.

She felt disgusted and could not accept it.

In addition, the future was full of uncertainty.

Her birth was not welcomed by others. She had no parents, only Cindy, the actress of the century. Ever since she was born, many people said that she was Cindy's illegitimate daughter. In fact, she also suspected that she was Cindy's illegitimate daughter, but she could not confirm it.

She wanted to take a DNA test, but what would the results yield?

If she was, so what?

If she wasn't, so what?

Celeste was lost.

That part of her life was far out of her reach. In that case, her future career and happiness should at least be under her control.

However, Gary's attitude immediately put her on guard.

She really didn't like it.

However, Maria's words made her feel that she had gone too far.

He cared about her, so he had asked her back then.

"If you don't tell him, then that's that. You have to choose according to your preference," Maria did not care and explained, "Don't worry too much. Choose what you like. Women who don't rely on men are outstanding. If you rely on him all the time, then your life will be very boring."

"Maria, Ernest said that Gary is the eldest son of the Jones family. He will be responsible for the family in the future," Celeste was still affected by Ernest's words.

After hearing this, Maria blinked before shaking her head, "I don't think so."

Celeste was stunned and asked, "Do you have a different opinion?"

"Gary's last name is Smith, did you notice? Gary hasn't even addressed his father as his dad even until now. He hasn't changed his surname and still stubbornly follows his mother's surname, Smith. According to what I know, my aunt's father's surname is Yarbrough. In short, that's something from the past generation. Look, he isn't even willing to call him father, and still refuses to change his last name. Where's the sense of responsibility and burden that he is supposed to carry?" Maria had a feeling that Gary would be unwilling to do so.

"But Ernest said so."

"I don't think that Ernest knows Gary that well."

Celeste was confused.

"Since young, I've always felt that Gary would be an amazing entrepreneur. He's not the type of person who would just rely on his inheritance. As for Ernest, the older he grows, the more he acts like a fox. He's slick and cunning." "An entrepreneur?" Celeste frowned slightly, "Are you saying that he won't inherit his family's business but will go and start his own business?"

"Yes," Maria nodded and informed Celeste solemnly, "Gary is that type of person. Think about it, he has three siblings, two brothers, and a younger sister. Even though his family is large, there are many restrictions placed on him."

Was it that weird?

Celeste had never thought about these problems.

Maria seemed to be all-wing. She knew almost everything about the twins clearly. Her analysis was logical and reasonable.

"Gary doesn't want to inherit the family business. He also doesn't want to be restricted. Similarly, my dad keeps asking me to take care of my brother. You know that in my family, the only children in the family are my brother and I, and my brother is much younger than me. I'm not willing to take over my father's company at all. I think I'll be too tired. My dream is simple."

"What is it?"

"Find a job with a good income. You can earn your own living, and that's all I want."

"Your dream is very realistic, and it's what many people want," Celeste commented, "But I'm afraid your father won't agree." "He probably will," Maria said, "What I'm telling you now is that Gary hopes that you two can work together in the future, and you can also be compatible with him."

Gary had said the same thing yesterday. Now that she heard Maria's words, Celeste's heart skipped a beat.

"Think about it. It's getting late. I'll go to sleep first," Maria patted her on the shoulder and turned around. Then, she opened the door and left.

As soon as she came out, she saw Ernest coming upstairs. Seeing that, Maria stopped and looked at him with a smile.

"Hey Ernest, you've just come upstairs."

Ernest looked at her and said calmly, "It's getting late. Go to bed early."

"Ok, Ernest. You're choosing an economics major?" Maria asked again.

"That's right," Ernest nodded.

"Oh," Maria thought for a moment and said, "I see you want to inherit the family business."

Ernest did not say anything as he looked at Maria. He had already walked up the stairs and stood in the corridor as he said, "The difficulty of inheriting a business is far higher than starting your own business. I the enterprise fails, it won't be such a laughingstock. However, failing to get an inheritance will garner big criticism."

"You're very capable, so no one will judge you," Maria shrugged, "But you're very responsible. That's good."

After saying that, Maria smiled and she entered her room.

Ernest narrowed his eyes and watched her disappear into her room. He smiled exasperatedly and went back to his room.

The next day, they woke up early in the morning.

Celeste got up early and browsed through the news habitually. She was immediately shocked by the content of the news.

The main headline read, "Liam's suspected secret lover exposed when going to London to study?"

There was a large photo attached below the headline. It showed Liam holding Celeste in his arms with his back to the camera. His eyes were extremely sharp, and he was looking directly into the camera. She looked at the picture and scrolled to the very bottom. Another photo attached there showed Liam running with her into the building.

Celeste was stunned.

She didn't expect to be photographed by someone.

The content of the news article was that Liam's girlfriend was studying in a language school In London with Liam.

In short, there were a lot of speculations about Liam and his suspected lover.

The more she scrolled down, the more afraid she grew.

Celeste then read through the comments. Many of Liam's fans declared that they would stop being his fan and also start a cyber manhunt for his girlfriend.

It was not that Celeste had never experienced such a situation, but she hadn't expected such a big reaction. It was far more horrible than when she was rumored to be Cindy's illegitimate daughter.

Liam was so young and his future was bright. Moreover, he had hundreds of thousands of female fans. Those female fans could not accept Liam having a lover. Even if it was only fake news with no credibility, it was hard for the fans to accept this piece of news.

Moreover, most female fans had also expressed being heartbroken and being unable to accept his relationship.

Amidst her fright, the phone rang.

She quickly picked it up and saw that the call was from Gary.

Celeste was stunned and quickly answered the call.

Gary's deep and sharp voice was heard over the phone saying, "Did you refuse me because you're Liam Robinson's girlfriend?"
