True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1943 The Four Children Of The Jones Family, Gary Smith (Part 718)

"I think it would be best for Ernest and I to go back there." Gary smiled. "That way, Ernest wouldn't have to stay outside anymore. Besides, the sound insulation there is great. Also, Leah has encountered some problems recently. So it is better for her to stay at home."

When Grace heard that, she nodded immediately. She fully agreed with him, "Gary, you are right. Leah and Ernest should stay at home too."

The moment they heard that, Leah immediately looked at Ernest.

Ernest said, "Mom, Dad, I have something to discuss with you. I promised to take Leah to the mountain villa last night. Can we stay at home after we come back from there?"

Grace looked at Heinz and immediately smiled. "Sure, you can go and stay there. There are people looking after that place so you won't starve. It's a great idea. Go ahead."

"Oh." Gary suddenly sighed. "Ernest, we are twins indeed. We can read each other's minds. I promised Celeste last night that I'd bring her up there as well. What a coincidence, isn't it? Let's go up to the mountain villa together."

Celeste was stunned. She looked at Gary. Since when did Gary promise to bring her there?

Gary looked back at her with a pair of dark eyes.

Even though Celeste was speechless, there was no need for her to expose him at this moment.

She lowered her head and did not speak.

Grace looked at Ernest and Leah while Leah was looking at Gary.

However, Ernest said blandly, "Gary, what a coincidence."

Gary nodded with a faint smile. "I know, right? Such a coincidence. Do you want to go together?"

A glitter of light flashed in Ernest's eyes, he said, "Sure, let's go together."

Grace was relieved when she heard that. She was really worried that the two brothers would quarrel because of this. However, the two of them looked so peaceful together and did not make things difficult for each other.

Leah also heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ernest's reaction.

At that moment, she really thought that Ernest would refuse. She never expected him to agree to

that.

It was such a strange day.

Leah felt that Gary was deliberately making trouble for Ernest.

She was curious. Did Ernest do something to offend Gary?

She looked at Gary with a strange look, then she looked at Ernest. She frowned, not understanding what was going on between the two brothers. Why were they on bad terms? However, she could not see anything wrong with Ernest's expressions, nor was there anything off with Gary.

"I will go to the company first," Heinz said.

Heinz even shot a look at his wife.

Grace immediately came to her senses, she said as she stood up, "I will ask the butler to buy some things for you guys to bring up to the villa."

The two of them soon left.

Ernest glanced at Gary and said, "Gary, since we have such great tacit understanding, why don't you and Celeste go up there first. Leah and I will follow soon."

"I still think we should go together," Gary said, "Who knows when the two of you will be going? What if you two left us? Don't you think it will be great for us to go together?" Gary obviously did not believe Ernest's words.

The elders were not at the table anymore. Celeste could not help but ask him, "Gary, what's wrong?"

Gary smiled at her and said, "Don't you think all of us should go up there for some fun? We can barbecue while enjoying the beautiful scenery there. Besides, it is quite lively there." "Gary, I did not expect you to be a lively one," Leah spoke up.

In truth, she could tell that Gary was purposefully targeting Ernest. She did not fully understand the situation, but she decided to help Ernest.

"That's right, I do like places that are lively," Gary admitted generously.

"Oh." Leah nodded seriously. Suddenly, she changed the topic and asked, "What about Celeste? Do you like lively places?"

The moment she asked that question, Gary looked at Celeste.

Celeste glanced at Gary helplessly. She secretly admired Leah for being able to identify the crux of the matter with just a single glance.

While she was not a lively person, she did not mind going there with Ernest and Leah. After all, they were going to be a family in the future. It was necessary for them to be together often.

She felt that she needed to get used to it sooner or later and was willing to work hard for it too.

However, the situation that day seemed a little out of the ordinary. She had a feeling that Gary was goading his brother on purpose. It made her a little nervous.

"Celeste definitely loves it when it is lively. She wants to hang out with you guys. Isn't that right, Celeste?" Gary smiled as he looked at Celeste.

Celeste paused for a moment and nodded, but a look of helplessness could be seen in her eyes.

When Leah saw it, she sighed and said, "Gary, you are making all the decisions for Celeste, without a care about what she wants at all. Don't you think that you're being disrespectful towards Celeste?" Gary raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since when have I disregarded her wishes? Watch what you say, don't try to sow discord around here."

At once, Leah could tell that Gary did not like to be embarrassed. He had a strong self-esteem and needed to preserve his dominance.

Leah said, "Why would I try to sow discord between you two? I saw it with my own eyes. Gary, you should first discuss with Celeste if she wants to go or not. Besides, whether you two have discussed about it or not, I believe that you both know the truth. Anyway, since you've said it, let's just go together. Both Ernest and I are very willing to go. I also believe that Celeste will be very happy. However, I still hope that you can respect Celeste in the future."

After Leah said that, she stood up and smiled in a friendly manner. "I think I might have been too straightforward and rash, but I meant no harm."

Ernest got up, nodded slightly at them and followed Leah upstairs.

Downstairs, Gary and Celeste remained silent for a long time.

In the room upstairs.

Leah said to Ernest, "I talked too much just now. I just couldn't stand a man like him not respecting a woman, so I couldn't help but speak up. Gary won't be angry, will he?"

"It doesn't matter whether he's angry or not." Ernest smiled and pulled Leah into his embrace. He stared at Leah with his deep eyes. He said dotingly, "I really want to tell you that you did a good job just now." Leah was stunned. "Are you telling me that you're happy I insulted Gary just now?"

"That's right." Ernest smiled and nodded.

Leah felt embarrassed. "I just thought that he has always been making things difficult for you, that was why I could not help but talk back to him. I think that I was too impulsive, there were some things that I shouldn't have said."

"It doesn't matter. He deserves to be scolded." Ernest did not care. He was in a good mood now.

Leah could tell that he was in a good mood. After hearing what he said, she laughed and said, "So? Did my words make you feel happy?"

"Yes." Ernest nodded heavily.

Leah laughed. "You brothers are really weird. How did you provoke him?"

"I told him to tell Mom to renovate the rooms."

"He got angry because of such a small incident?" Leah asked.

Ernest nodded. "Yes, he wanted me to tell Mom but I rejected him, I insisted that he should ask for it himself. So he felt offended."

"Wow, how narrow-minded of him. To me, it is not a big deal at all."

"So it seems like Gary is quite narrow-minded, right?"

"I don't care if he is narrow-minded or not. I just think that Celeste is a pitiful girl. Sometimes I wonder if he really loves Celeste or not."
