True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) -
Chapter 1294
Celeste was not shocked by her aunt's outburst. She said calmly, "Because it's not necessary to live here, and it's unnecessary to live close to Mr. Jones's family. After all, this is not a place where Mr. Heinz often visits."
"Celeste, why did you suddenly become so stubborn?" Cindy was still confused, so she chose to ask her directly.
"Aunt, why do you keep asking me why?" Celeste didn't want to refute her aunt and left room for her aunt to back down.
In her opinion, the gossip between her aunt and Mr. Heinz was a matter of the past.
After witnessing Heinz's attitude towards Grace and the way they got along, Celeste was even more sure that her aunt would humiliate herself no matter what she asked.
It was unrealistic to buy a villa in London just to get close to Mr. Heinz.
"Why can't I ask?" Cindy took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "Celeste, I raised you."
Celeste couldn't help but tighten her grip around her phone. Her whole body was tense.
For a moment, she felt very sad.
However, it was only for a moment. Celeste calmed down and continued, "Aunt, I know you raised me. Although I don't know who my parents are, you have done so much compared to them who abandoned me. I remember your efforts along with the people who abandoned me from the bottom of my heart."
Celeste's voice was strong and powerful. She was direct, which stunned Cindy for some time.
She was quiet all of a sudden.
Celeste did not speak either. The atmosphere fell silent, and only the sound of each other's breathing was heard.
Celeste was waiting for her aunt to hang up because she knew that once she said that, the call would end.
Every time she mentioned her biological parents, Cindy would be unwilling to talk anymore.
That was indeed the case this time round as well.
Cindy soon muttered, "Go to sleep."
After that, she hung up the phone.
Even though the phone had fallen silent, Celeste's mood wasn't the least bit calm. At that moment, her emotions were rising and falling. It was hard for her to calm down.
She never knew who her parents were. Every time she brought them up, Cindy would just give the excuse that she didn't want to continue talking anymore.
The more Cindy acted like that, the more curious Celeste became. She really wanted to know why.
Although she had hung up the phone, Celeste was not sure if her aunt would still insist on buying the villa.
It had really been an eventful day, and Celeste was very tired.
She laid in bed for a long time before falling asleep.
After only a few hours of sleep, Celeste woke up early in the morning. She took out her phone and browsed through the news.
Liam was still very popular in the news. Many people were talking about it, and some even made speculations on who the girl was.
There were five to six suspects. All of them were famous female idols in the entertainment industry.
Celeste heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, none of her personal information was leaked.
Soon, she received a message.
She found that the person who sent her a message was Liam.
It was a voice message. She pressed it and heard Liam's voice, "Celeste, I won't let the press leak your information. Don't worry. Although the spotlight is still on me, the identity of the girl has been transferred. Miss White said that you can go to school now."
Celeste heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this news.
After washing up, Celeste opened the door.
The corridor outside was quiet. Celeste was surprised. Was no one awake yet?
Celeste had no choice but to tiptoe downstairs quietly.
When she came downstairs, Grace was also there.
"Mrs. Grace, why are you up so early?" Celeste was startled. It did not occur to her that Grace had already woken up. Grace had changed into a casual jade-green dress, a lace belt wrung around the waist. The cuffs and hemline of the dress were also decorated with lace, which made it look quite exquisite. Grace looked slim and elegant in the dress.
When Grace saw Celeste, she was also surprised. She greeted her good morning, "Good morning,
Celeste. I slept on the plane, so I wasn't that sleepy."
Celeste walked over and said to Grace, "I'm used to getting up early."
"Look at your eyes. They're still red," Grace looked at her bloodshot eyes and sighed, "Go up and rest. We'll have breakfast later. I'll ask the butler to prepare some for you."
"It's okay," Celeste shook her head and insisted, "I'm not sleepy."
"Celeste, you're young, and you're still growing. You must rest well so your body will be in better shape in the future," Grace thought Celeste looked very well-behaved. She was afraid that the reason why Celeste was not able to have a good rest was because she was not used to living here.
Celeste shook her head and offered, "Mrs. Grace, I'll stay with you for a while."
"You'd better go back to sleep."
Just then, a low and magnetic voice was heard from the stairs.
Celeste was shocked.
She immediately turned around and saw Heinz coming down the stairs. He brought along an innate sense of oppression, and looked quite mighty and influential.
When Grace saw Heinz, she felt a little helpless. She could not hide from him as he had followed her here.
Looking at Heinz coming down, Grace complained in an exasperated and gentle tone, "Why did you come down?"
Heinz raised his eyebrows and walked over, ignoring the fact that Celeste was still here. He replied bluntly, "My wife was missing, so of course I'd replace her as soon as possible."
Celeste felt pressure from Heinz and took a step back immediately. It was a subconscious action.
When Grace realized it, she was stunned. Then, she turned to look at Heinz and said, "Look at you. You scared her."
Heinz felt that he was innocent. He shrugged and said to Celeste, "It's not good for children to wake up so early. Go upstairs and continue to sleep. Don't come downstairs before 10 o'clock." Celeste's heart tightened when she heard this and she quickly lowered her gaze. She did not dare to look at Heinz.
Grace got up quickly and protected Celeste, "Heinz, don't speak in such a tense tone. You scared Celeste."
Heinz frowned. Looking at his wife, he softened his voice and said, "Then tell her to go upstairs."
Only then did Grace turn to Celeste and say, "Celeste, you slept too late and woke up too early. You must sleep some more. Otherwise, you'll harm your body."
"Okay, Mrs. Grace. I'll go upstairs," Celeste nodded quickly. It was not a good time to disturb Heinz and his wife.
"Good girl," Grace patted her on the back, "Go now."
Celeste quickly nodded to Heinz and turned to go upstairs.
Her entire back was tensed up and she did not look back.
Heinz and Grace watched her go upstairs together. When Celeste's shadow disappeared, Heinz immediately frowned, "This child is too timid, isn't she?"
"Why don't you say that you look too fierce instead?" Grace retorted, "Your face clearly reads 'don't get close to me."
"But you're not afraid of me, aren't you?" Heinz smiled and approached Grace. His eyes were full of amusement. "Go away," Grace whispered in disgust.
"No way," Heinz picked her up.
"Hey!" After being lifted up, she squealed, "What are you doing? Put me down. It won't be pretty if others see us."
Heinz didn't care about anything else and carried her upstairs.
During that time, Celeste was at the corner of the stairs. She naturally heard their conversation and realized that Heinz had lifted Grace up.
In the gap between the stairs, she saw Heinz carrying Grace upstairs. She opened her mouth in shock and instantly came back to her senses. She covered her mouth and quickly returned to her room. Then, she closed the door silently behind her.
Celeste covered her chest with her hands. Her rapid heartbeat showed her nervousness and surprise.
They were such a loving couple. Even though they were already a middle-aged couple with children that were about to go to university, Heinz could still carry his wife upstairs like this. Such a man was obviously very loyal to his lover.
Celeste thought to herself, "What actually happened?"
She went on the Internet to check on the news about her aunt and Heinz. She found out that her aunt had been an ambassador for the Jones Estate. Moreover, it was rumored that she was
Heinz's close friend.
She was confused once more.
She stayed in her room for a long time and didn't feel sleepy at all. In fact, she was bored and could only flip through the news. There was not much news of the past as many of them were deleted, so she didn't know the whole picture.
Her mind was full of doubts, making her feel weary.
At ten o'clock, everyone slowly got up. She followed them downstairs and met Ernest in the corridor.
He glanced at Celeste.
Her face was pale and she looked tired.
"Didn't you sleep well?" He asked.
"I had decent sleep," Celeste denied.
Ernest frowned and looked around. Suddenly, he grabbed Celeste's wrist. When she was startled, he suddenly dragged Celeste into his room.
