True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 2038

No matter what it was, it seemed that Gary was in a predicament. If not, he wouldn't be acting so unusually.

Heinz couldn't help but grow solemn. He maintained his composure and asked, "You are the eldest son of the Jones family. Your mother and I hope that you'll be able to become a good role model to your siblings."

Upon hearing this, Gary fell silent. Suddenly, he asked, "Is there something I'm doing wrong for you to suddenly warn me?"

"I'm not warning you. I'm just reminding you," Heinz explained, "Of course, I'm also concerned about you."

"I feel a bit uncomfortable with you suddenly being concerned about me," Gary snorted, "I feel like there's more to what meets the eye."

"I've already told you my request just now, so can't we be more courteous? Even so, I am still your father. Is it so wrong for me to be concerned about you?" Heinz grinned.

"Well, it makes sense if you phrase it that way," Gary nodded, "It's just a bit annoying. Are you going through menopause? Or are you just replaceing it difficult to keep your mouth closed?" Heinz was not even angry as he was just bickering with his son.

After looking at how the father and the son were spending their time for a while, Grace decided to head upstairs.

After reaching Gary's room, she knocked on the door. No one responded for a while but the door soon opened.

Celeste was shocked to see Grace at the door. She immediately broke into a laugh, "Why are you here? If you wanted to see me, you could have just called and I'd head right down."

"I wanted to come up and see you," Grace grinned. Holding Celeste's hand, she walked into the room and sat by the edge of the bed, chiming, "You seem thinner just being out for two days. You need to eat well, just look at your sunken cheeks."

"That's not it, I've been eating regularly," Celeste tried to cover up and avoid Grace from worrying, "I'm still that same old weight."

"Your complexion doesn't seem too good as well," Grace eyed Celeste carefully. She reached out and caressed Celeste's hair gently and amicably, asking, "Are you tired?" "Probably. We were cruising at sea for two days and I probably didn't sleep well," Celeste explained.

"Oh, so you guys went cruising?" Grace was shocked, "That's great. It's an improvement for that rascal to bring you out for a cruise."

Celeste was startled. She quickly looked down and muttered, "Gary has always treated me well."

Seeing that Celeste was speaking up for Gary, Grace smiled. It seemed like the both of them were doing quite well.

Maybe she was just thinking too much.

"If you need anything, just let Gary know and make him get it for you. You can also ask him to bring you out," The more Grace stared at Celeste, the more she thought Celeste was a kind and gentle girl. Though, Celeste seemed much quieter than before. It seemed like people do grow up.

"Aunt Smith, I don't need anything. Just take care of yourself. Don't worry about me," Celeste added, "I can take care of myself."

"You're a good kid, Celeste," Grace said tenderly as she continued looking at Celeste, "Sometimes, Gary is a brat and will have a terrible temper. He'll be quite difficult at times, so you'll probably be a bit exhausted."

Celeste immediately shook her head and denied, "He's not like that, Aunt Smith. He's been nothing but amazing to me."

It was true that Gary was the best towards Celeste.

It was just that the incident had scarred her deeply. No matter what she tried, the wound still remained fresh.

Celeste didn't know what to do.

"Gary is my child so I know very well of his behaviors. I also know that you refuse to complain about his bad behaviour because you're afraid that I'll be worried," Grace still thought that Celeste was keeping something from her.

She just didn't know if the matter was related to Gary.

Despite being worried, Grace knew she couldn't ask too much too soon.

"I'm serious. In fact, he treats me really well. He's gentle, responsible, and takes really good care of me. Of course, he didn't really treat me well before going to London. However, he's been treating me very wett since then," Celeste explained the entire situation to Grace.

With that, Grace finally smiled in ease, "If he treats you well, that's good news."

"He treats me very well," Celeste repeated, afraid that Grace wouldn't believe her. Looking into

Grace's eyes, she emphasized once more, "Really, he does."

Grace grinned, "Alright, that's great to hear. Both of you must always be together, since you're the only official daughter-in-law I've recognized. Once you're married, be sure to stay this way too."

"Okay, don't worry," Celeste smiled back.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

Celeste looked down and was promptly startled. The call was from Janice.

She immediately declined the call and silenced her phone.

Grace was a little shocked when Celeste didn't pick up the phone. She asked, "Why won't you pick it up?"

"It's just a spam call," Celeste smiled in her attempt to pretend that it was the truth. She placed her phone back in her pocket.

Grace was stunned. She assumed that maybe Celeste thought it was inconvenient for her to pick up the phone seeing as Grace was in the room.

With that being said, Grace looked at

Celeste and decided to stand up, "I'm getting a little tired, so I'll head down and get some rest. You don't look too good either, so you should rest well too." "Okay, Aunt Smith, I'll take you downstairs,"

Celeste held onto Grace's wrist and helped her downstairs.

Grace didn't reject Celeste's sign of goodwill and allowed Celeste to help her to her room.

It was only then that Celeste headed back upstairs.

Once Celeste left, Grace pondered in her room. She still had a feeling that the call was suspicious.

After making up her mind, she walked out of her room and hesitated before finally tiptoeing to Gary's room. She then hid herself outside the room and waited. Meanwhile, Celeste had to pick up the phone since Janice was calling her once again.

Her voice was cold and unfriendly as she frowned into the phone, "Janice, you don't have to keep calling me."

Upon hearing this, Janice was furious as well. She had sent the video to Celeste in an attempt to irk her. However, Celeste did not reply to her and left her hanging.

She kept waiting for Celeste to say something, but not a word was heard. This made Janice angry.

What was Celeste trying to prove? Janice simply didn't know.

That was why she decided to call Janice again.

"Celeste, I'm sure you're speechless after watching the video. You do know very well that that video is real, don't you?"

"Wasn't that the point of you sending the video to me? To prove that it's real?" Celeste retorted faintly.

Janice chuckled and scoffed arrogantly, "Of course it's real. How could I send it to you if it wasn't? You must have nothing good to say after watching that video, am I right?" "Well, I was indeed speechless," Celeste snapped coldly.
