True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1984

Gary's body stiffened as he forced himself to acknowledge her and said yes. After that, he did not say anything anymore.

Celeste could clearly feel his body trembling, and she found his silence terrifying.

She did not know how to ask another question.

She wanted to ask him, but she was afraid of the answer that she would get. She feared that she would not be able to accept the news that she feared.

Celeste had never felt so uncomfortable but calm at the same time before.

Gary was still hugging Celeste. The two of them stood at the door and hugged each other for another while.

Celeste allowed him to hug her so tightly, and she did not say a word. The two of them stood there without moving, as if they were statues.

When the door to the next room opened, Ernest saw Gary standing at the door with Celeste in his embrace. He was shocked.

"Oh, Gary, you are back." Ernest looked at them for a while and found that there was still no sign of them wanting to let go, he suspected that they were both stunned silly.

It had only been a few days. Did they really miss each other so much?

The moment he spoke, the two of them who were still dumbfounded came back to their senses.

Gary let go of Celeste gently and he turned around to look at Ernest. He glanced at him coldly, as if he was repulsed by Ernest's sudden appearance, even more so for him interrupting Gary's affectionate embrace with Celeste.

"Cough cough cough!" Ernest cleared his throat, he looked at Gary with hesitation. It had only been a few days, but Gary seemed to have lost weight already.

He frowned and said immediately, "Gary, you seem to have gotten thinner. Haven't you had a good sleep these days?"

"Really?" Gary replied indifferently. "I guess so."

"That's right, such a long and abrupt travel is bound to leave an impact on you," Ernest said, "Good thing you are back. I will ask the butler to prepare more food for you. You will be back to normal in a few days."

"Go back to your room." Gary seemed to dislike Ernest's concern, and he was already urging him

to leave.

Ernest looked at Gary, his eyes were filled with accusations.

Was there really a need for him to be so heartless?

He was just concerned about him, yet Gary was so impatient of him and wanted him to leave.

That did not seem normal.

Ernest shrugged and said, "Gary, it seems like your trip was not so smooth."

When he heard that, Gary frowned in an instant, the aura surrounding him changed too.

Celeste's expression also changed, and she looked at Gary blankly.

Ernest could feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.

He glanced at his brother suspiciously, then he looked at Celeste with a sense of confusion in his eyes, "Was it really not a smooth trip?"

"Go back to your room," Gary said in a cold way.

If that went on, Gary would not be able to hide it anymore. Celeste was probably already suspicious of him then.

She was already looking at him with suspicion.

Ernest nodded. "Okay, I will go back to my room."

Just as he was about to enter the room, Leah came out and blocked his path again. She did not let Ernest in. Instead, she poked her head out and looked at Gary and Celeste. "Wow, Gary's back. That's great. How was your trip?" Leah greeted Gary with a smile.

His words almost got Gary stunned again.

He looked at Ernest, and then at Leah. He wondered if he had a feud with the two of them. Were they there to cause trouble for him intentionally? Gary paused for a moment, then he spoke, "It was good."

"Since it went so well, then why did you look so neurotic when I asked you just now? I even thought your trip did not go well." Ernest complained. Gary frowned again.

Leah laughed and said, "Good thing everything went well. We were so worried. It must have been a smooth journey, since you are back so soon." "Since he is already back, then we should have a gathering. Liam and Maria will be leaving tonight," Ernest said.

Gary thought for a moment and he actually nodded and agreed.

He said, "I am going to take a shower and have a change of clothes first. I'll go down right after that."

Everyone was stunned, even Celeste. All of them thought that Gary seemed different.

Usually, when they were separated for so long, they would want nothing more than to spend time with each other on their own. However, that day, he was so cooperative with them that he agreed to have a gathering with them.

Celeste felt really surprised too.

Ernest and Leah looked at each other, they both thought that Gary was acting strange.

Gary nodded slightly, then he entered the room.

Celeste could only follow him.

When Ernest and Leah returned to their room, Leah immediately asked him, "What do you think?"

"I don't know." Ernest shook his head. "Who knows what's going on? It seemed like he has come across some trouble, but he wouldn't tell us about it."

"I just replace it strange," Leah whispered, "They are such a loving couple, and they have been separated for several days. Didn't they say that the hearts would grow fonder? Shouldn't they want to be together after reuniting? Why isn't Gary in a hurry to spend time with her at all? How could he want to come down to hang out with us instead?"

When Ernest heard what Leah said, he could feel the change in Gary more obviously too.

A trace of doubt flashed across his handsome face, and he quickly tried to recall everything that had happened.

"Are we thinking too much? Or, is something strange going on?"

"I'm not sure." Leah shook her head. However, it seemed like Celeste was acting a little weird too.

"Leave them be. Let's go downstairs and wait for them," Ernest said.

Leah nodded. "I will send a message to Maria and ask them to come down."

She sent them a message. After a while, Maria replied and said that they would be downstairs in a few minutes.

On the other hand, Celeste and Gary returned to their room together.

Celeste asked him, "Are you going to go take a shower?"

Gary nodded, but he did not say anything.

He went to the bathroom, and he even closed the door.

Celeste was stunned as she was left outside.

At that moment, Gary suddenly opened the door, and he saw Celeste with her eyes slightly dimmed. She seemed a little lonely.

His heart tightened. He strode over and said with a low voice in front of her, "Help me replace my clothes, I need to change." "Okay." Celeste immediately nodded as she looked into his eyes.

The look in her eyes were so deep that it had no end to it. He could not see the depths of it no matter how hard he tried. Gary returned to the washroom again and still closed the door. Celeste could clearly hear the sound of the running water. She went to replace a new set of clothes for him to change into. After she found the clothes, she placed it on the bed neatly. Celeste sat by the bed. When Gary finished showering, she still could not feel at ease.

She placed her hands together, her little fingers intertwined.

She exerted so much strength that her palms turned sweaty.

Since he did not say anything about his trip to the United States, could she mention it?

Could she ask if he had actually slept with Janice?

Also, did he really get Janice pregnant after sleeping with her?

She wanted to know if all of that was real.

The question had been haunting Celeste for a long time, and it made her suffer a lot emotionally.

If it was true, could she really leave Gary?

She knew that she could.

She knew that she had to.

However, what would happen after that?

Would her heart be in immense pain?

Time slowly went by, and Celeste was still immersed in quietness, her mind still entangled.

After a long time, the door suddenly opened.

Gary opened the bathroom door. His waist was wrapped in a towel, and his defined muscles were revealed. He looked sexy, and his handsome face was filled with gentleness and affection.

He gazed at Celeste, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

When Celeste heard the voice, she immediately came back to her senses as she looked into his eyes.

"Have you finished your bath?"

"Yes." Gary said.

"Then, change into your clothes." Celeste suddenly stood up. "All the clothes are here. I will go downstairs first."

She stood up quickly without giving Gary the chance to speak after she said that, then she went downstairs.

Gary was taken aback. With just a glance, he could tell that Celeste was avoiding him.

He frowned at once.

What exactly happened?

Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with Celeste too. He had been thinking about his own feelings all the time and had neglected her. She was avoiding him, and it was only at that moment that he realized that.

But, why?

Gary did not have time to think about it at all. He quickly changed his clothes and put on the clothes which Celeste prepared for him. He realized that the hairdryer was right beside him too, and it was already connected to the power.

She was so attentive that she paid attention to every single detail.

She was such a delicate girl, yet he was about to lose her.

At the thought of losing her, Gary felt a tearing pain in his heart. It was boundless and it instantly enveloped him like a large net, making him unable to breathe. He felt stuffy and as if he was going to suffocate. He dried his hair for a while, and after that, he turned off the hairdryer as he prepared to go downstairs.

At that moment, his phone rang.

He glanced at his phone and realized that it was actually a call from Janice.
