Celeste felt very guilty because Aunt Grace had noticed that she had argued with Gary.

Gary didn't say a word after he came home, and he went upstairs with a gloomy face.

Anyone would be suspicious if they saw that.

Of course, Celeste also felt very helpless.

Thinking of what he said in Lawrence's villa, Celeste still felt a little sad. She had been too impulsive just now.

She shouldn't have agreed to Gary so recklessly.

They'd agreed on waiting till after New Year's, but Gary suddenly changed his mind.

That wasn't an easy decision to make.

Celeste didn't know what happened to Gary, but she figured that he must have encountered some trouble that caused him to make this decision.

He spared her no mercy as if their previous love was nothing but a mere inconvenience to his life. Men were so ruthless sometimes.

However, Celeste felt that Gary wasn't a heartless person.

He must have some secrets that he found hard to reveal.

Celeste was also very sorry that Grace could tell that they quarreled.

She didn't know what to say to Grace, so she kept her gaze down and avoided looking Grace in the eyes.

"Celeste, you need to be kinder to yourself," Grace said as she hoped that Celeste could stay strong.

"Aunt Grace, I'm doing fine," Celeste whispered. "Don't worry about me. I'm doing great. You and Uncle Heinz care about me, and Gary and the others love me. I feel very lucky and content indeed." "Ah, you're always so sensible Celeste. I know that you're worried about me and my pregnancy, but you have to tell me if Gary bullies you, okay?"

Grace couldn't bear to see Celeste so sad. She was hiding such unbearable pain inside without telling anyone.

It must be very uncomfortable for Celeste, and Grace was worried that she would fall sick.

If she bore all her burdens alone, then she would collapse one day.

Grace was also worried that Celeste would become depressed after a while.

After all, she'd lived a tough life.

However, Celeste still shook her head with a faint smile on her face. She tried her best to make herself calm, and she looked up at Grace.

She faced Grace with a serene expression on her face. She looked very tough, but it made Grace feel even sorrier for her.

"Aunt Grace, don't worry. I'm doing fine. I told Gary that I would be seeing her tomorrow," Celeste said.

Grace understood in an instant that Celeste was talking about Cindy.

Grace was taken aback. "Have you decided on going tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Celeste nodded vigorously. "Gary also said that he would accompany me."

"Of course he should go. I'll beat him up if he doesn't." Grace supported Celeste all the way.

Celeste smiled at Grace. If she kept talking to Grace, she felt that she would break down eventually as her calm facade was cracking.

"He didn't really agree with me seeing her, but he was okay with it later." Celeste pursed her lips. "Go and rest, Aunt Grace. I'll sort my things out before I go see Cindy in the morning." "All right, head on up. Don't hesitate to tell the butler if you need anything."

"All right, Aunt Grace." Celeste quickly left Grace's room.

Grace sighed as Celeste shut the door. Celeste kept everything inside her, and she never said a word about it to anyone. Judging by how distant the two seemed when they walked inside, they hadn't solved their problems yet.

They even dared to put up an act in front of Grace.

She picked up the phone and called Heinz.

"Are you in the study now?"

"Yeah," Heinz replied to his wife's question before he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, honey?"

"Hurry back to the room, I have something to tell you." Grace did not give Heinz a chance to reply before she hung up.

After she hung up on Heinz, he was stunned for a moment before he rushed out of the study.

He saw his wife reclining on the bed after he pushed the door open. Grace seemed sad.

Heinz immediately became nervous. He hurried to the bedside and sat down. He looked at Grace and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt? Do you feel pain anywhere?" She shook her head. "I don't feel anything else other than fatigue. But Gary and Celeste aren't doing too well."

"Weren't the two of them just fine when we were eating just now?" Heinz felt that they weren't ready to break up if they insisted on maintaining a facade in front of everyone.

Since they were reluctant to break up, there was nothing to worry about.

This was how Heinz viewed the world.

"They pretended to be okay while we

were eating, but they gave up the act once they returned. They were supposedly on a walk, but they came back after less than half an hour. Gary went upstairs in stony silence, and he left Celeste alone downstairs. She was about to cry when she spoke to me." Grace sighed.

"Really?" Heinz frowned. This was just asking for trouble, no?

"I nearly lost my temper and asked Celeste immediately, but she wouldn't tell me a thing. So, I didn't push her. That's why I asked you to come back and talk." Grace sounded worried. "What's there to talk about?" Ha felt that the kids were already grown up, and they shouldn't pry into their private affairs.

"How can we help them? We can't just leave it alone, can we?"

Heinz replied, "Let's just wait and see. Didn't I say that they needed space to calm down? It's fine if they don't talk for a while, after all, silence gives way to thinking." Then, Grace calmed down at once.

"You are right."

Heinz looked at his wife seriously and said, "Your primary task nowzis to take good care of yourself and the children in your belly. Leave the rest to me. I'll keep an eye on them. Don't worry, nothing will happen.

"Keep an eye? How? I'm afraid that Celeste will break up with Gary." Grace frowned.

"Stop being so curious. Up until now, everything is fine and we shouldn't interrupt the balance. It won't be too late for me to intervene if something happens, right?"

Grace nodded. "Well, you're right I guess."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you if there are any signs of trouble."

"The main issue here is that Gary went upstairs without saying a single word." That was why Grace was so worried. "Celeste was about to burst into tears when she spoke to me. Honestly, I can't take it."

Heinz took the initiative to calm his wife. "It's fine. Janice is here, and that's put Gary in a bad mood.

Don't be so worried, they're smart people. They know what to do."

Heinz felt that Grace shouldn't worry too much because she was pregnant.

If Grace wasn't pregnant, she would definitely be able to solve this.

"I pity Celeste." Grace sighed. "I don't want Gary to neglect her."

Heinz held Grace's hand. "I understand. Gary isn't a heartless person either, and he is our son. He won't do anything too hurtful."

Despite Grace agreeing with what he said, she was still worried.

Celeste went upstairs and hesitated for a long time before she knocked on the door and walked inside.

There was no light in the room. It was dark and nothing could be seen.

Startled, Celeste reached out and turned on the light.

Shock filled her body when she turned on the light.

She saw Gary standing by the window, gazing at the night sky outside.

He seemed very lonely, and his body seemed shrouded in sadness.

An unspeakable feeling started to build in Celeste's heart, and she felt incredibly upset.

She stood at the door for a long time, but she didn't say a word. Frankly, she didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the room was very quiet. The tension in the air could be cut with a knife.

After a few more moments of hesitation, Celeste walked inside and took out her luggage. Then, she started to pack.

She folded her clothes and put them inside the suitcase one by one.

Gary didn't turn around to look at her as he watched her reflection in the window.

His heart ached as he watched her slowly pack her clothes.

Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer. He turned around and walked towards Celeste. Then, he pulled Celeste up and kissed her ferociously.

Celeste was dumbfounded by the sudden kiss.
