Heinz was taken aback. Gary was still able to tease him even while he was in dire straits. It seemed like Gary's tongue was still sharp even though Celeste left. Frankly speaking, Heinz was rather relieved.

"I'm serious," Heinz said, "You two lack basic trust in each other. Celeste doesn't believe you. If you two get back together, there are still too many things to sort out." He continued, saying, "To be honest, a girl with her character should be pampered her entire life."

Gary's personality was a little problematic, so Heinz was worried about him being together with Celeste. Restraint wasn't Gary's forte, so the girl would have a hard time.

If they were truly together, Celeste would probably suffer a lot.

"Trust is built on the backs of shared experiences and time, not at the beginning." Gary had matured from his various experiences with Celeste. "When you and mom were first together, I'm sure that you guys didn't really trust one another. You only fully trusted each other after a while."

That was true so Heinz nodded.

He and Grace had gone through a lot to be able to get where they were today. No matter what came their way, they would still remain faithful to each other.

Even when they argued and fought, they both knew where to stop.

He also knew that they wouldn't hurt each other.

However, Heinz was still a little worried when he thought of Celeste's personality. "Celeste's personality was shaped by the way she was brought up. You need to think about whether you two can live together for the rest of your lives. If you're not confident that you can make her happy, then don't go to her."

"Do you mean that I should take this opportunity to truly break up with Celeste?" Gary asked.

Heinz remained silent to show his agreement.

Gary glanced at his father and said slowly, "Even if I didn't want to break up, Celeste won't ever want to be together with me ever again."

He smiled wryly as he spoke, his handsome visage was filled with loneliness.

He remembered how Celeste cried in front of him and how defeated she looked.

She'd tried her best.

Gary knew very well how Celeste felt about him.

However, the issue with Janice had deeply wounded Celeste. She wasn't a very secure person in the first place. The incident with Janice was just salt on the wound. Gary didn't say anything else. He stood up and turned to leave.

Heinz said earnestly, "I know that you might not listen to me, and you might think that my words are too harsh, but I hope you really give this some thought.

"Even if you could prove your innocence and be together with Celeste again.

"I hope that you can consider what I said carefully. With how the two of you are, do you think you can spend the rest of your lives together?

"Do you think there will be any changes? If not, don't you think it's better to let it go?"

Gary looked back at his father. It was rare to see Gary not try to defend himself or his actions.

Gary understood what his father was trying to convey. Either way, Heinz just hoped that he and Celeste would live happily.

Gary remained silent for a while before saying, "I'll think about it, all right?"

Heinz was a little shocked. He didn't expect his

son to say that.

It was a sign of maturity that Gary was willing to listen to his suggestions.

Heinz was quite relieved as he smiled at his son. "Good."

"Help me take care of Celeste. I won't see her for the time being," Gary said, asking his father for help.

He'd given up on the idea of searching for her.

For one, Janice was in Northern City and had made sure to tell everyone she was there.

Xyrion was there as well.

Yandrea's father, Ryle, was also in Northern City.

Janice could make use of Xyrion to get Ryle to come forward. There was no telling what would happen, so Gary couldn't leave Northern City for now.

Furthermore, Gary felt that what Heinz said was very true. Both he and Celeste needed time to cool off.

If they interacted before either of them had fully calmed down, they would only end up hurting one another more.

"Of course. Celeste is a good girl,

and I sympathize with her. Your

mother and I have been her guardian's for years, and she's never given as any trouble. Even if she isn't our daughter-in-law, we still see her as our daughter."

"If so, not being your daughter-in-law would only cause her more pain.df Celeste and I never get back together, then it's better if we never bother her at all. It would be torture otherwise," Gary replied.

Gary knew Celeste very well. He knew that being considered Heinz and Grace's daughter would be arduous for Celeste.

"You're right." Heinz nodded. "If she's not with you, she will be hurt if she sees you with another woman."

"I have never thought of being with another woman. Do you think I'm like you? I'm not a womanizer," Gary retorted.

Heinz frowned. "I only remarried once. That doesn't make me a womanizer."

"Ha, weren't Ernest and I just accidents to you?" Gary asked.

Heinz shook his head and replied in a serious tone, "Never. Having you two shows that your mom and I were meant to be.

"If it weren't for the both of you, how could I have ever run into her again? I wouldn't have had the chance to get to know her.

"How would we manage to replace one another then?

I think stuff like this is fate."

Gary snorted. "That's all nonsense and you know it."

"Gary, what I mean is that if you and

yelme

Celeste were meant to be, no one can stop you both from being.

together, not even ten Janices."

Heinz smiled. "This is all up to fate."

"I have never believed in fate. I only believe in myself," Gary said in a low voice.

Gary turned to leave.

Suddenly, the secretary rushed in. "President, a lot of journalists have gathered downstairs. Janice is back."
