True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2004

Celeste continued, "Maybe I was too stubborn, or maybe I was too young to understand, so I didn't handle that matter well."

Gary fell silent, his heart filled with self-reproach.

At this moment, he fully understood the situation. She must have found out about Janine's pregnancy, but she had yet to leave him. It only meant that she did not want to break up with him.

Or perhaps, she didn't want to make the same hasty decision that led to their last breakup.

Did she not want to break up?

Even if she knew about it, she had yet proposed a breakup, meaning she was more cautious this time.

In that case, it meant that he stood a chance. The thought brought joy to his heart.

Did that mean this was not the end to their relationship?

After thinking about it, Gary looked at Celeste with eyes full of hope and said, "What I regret the most was sending you to London for further studies. I shouldn't have been so hasty and arrogant. I also regret breaking up with you, even if it was your decision. I should have stayed with you in London or brought you with me to Boston."

Both of them had things that they regretted, but there were no redos in life.

Even if they regretted it, all they could do was move on.

It was hard to change things that had already happened. But what mattered the most was whether there would still be a chance for redemption and if there was anything to be learned from this mistake.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, he felt that she had matured a lot.

She was calm and speaking to him indifferently, meaning that she did not want a breakup.

At the same time, Gary's heart ached for Celeste. Seeing her forcing a smile while she was with him, he knew she was feeling otherwise inside.

The ache in his heart grew stronger and a frown appeared on his face.

As he stared at her, he felt the impulse to take her into his arms. So he did.

She was stunned by his sudden actions, but she was feeling too sad inside to react. However, she knew he was feeling sorry for her. This matter with Janice was not something he did on purpose.

Strictly speaking, it was an accident.

Janice had it all planned. As for Gary, he was paying for not being vigilant and being too arrogant for his own good.

Lowell was the cause of Janice's miscarrying.

From what she heard, Celeste speculated that Lowell was regretting his actions and felt responsible for them. Lowell must be feeling guilty for ruining her and Gary's relationship.

He was afraid that she would break up with Gary. Hence he decided to take it upon himself to get rid of Janice's child.

And of course, Janice must be holding a grudge.

Janice would use the reason that he had harmed a life to make a great fuss about this, even if it was an accident.

Furthermore, Gary promising to be her boyfriend must have something to do with Lowell. Perhaps Janice had threatened Lowell. It should be something like that.

Sighing, Celeste wanted to cry in Gary's arms.

But she could not.

She smiled and said, "It's warm in your arms."

She was afraid that she would never have the chance to enjoy his embrace in the future.

But she didn't want to have to suffer.

Right then, his heart was in pieces and the pain was suffocating him.

His voice was hoarse as he vowed, "I will only hug you for the rest of my life."

He added in his heart, "Even if you leave me, I will not leave you or turn to other women."

It could only be her and no one else.

If she left him, he had made up his mind to be a bachelor for life.

Gary swore he would not love another if they did break up. As for Janice, he would make her pay for everything she had done.

At that moment, Celeste believed in his promise.

For some reason, she didn't try to look at him as she continued to lean into his arms. Her head was hung low as she listened to his steady heartbeat. She could tell that he was speaking the truth. She chose to believe him.

A smile crept onto her face.

Although there was a hint of sadness in it, she was happy to know how much he treasured her.

Knowing this was enough to keep her content.

She believed that she would have no regrets even if they did break up.

After all, he was sincere about his feelings for her.

"I believe you," Celeste mumbled her reply, "I believe in everything you said."

Gary was startled and his eyes flickered with pain.

It was hard on her.

With that, he hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck. "Celeste."

He called out to her in almost a whisper. His voice was still hoarse, almost choking with sobs.

"Yes?" Even she was choking up.

However, none of them brought it up.

As they had the same thought.

They stayed in that position for quite some time. Indeed, they looked like a pair of carefully crafted statues.

A very fitting couple of statues at that.

After a few minutes, Gary let go of Celeste. He lowered his head and looked at her with misty eyes. He breathed, "I love you."

She raised her head to meet his hazy eyes. Similarly, her eyes were glistening. However, she did not cry.

She nodded and cooed, "I love you too. Only you."

They hugged each other again.

No words could describe how much remorse and heartache he was feeling at that moment.

He could only blame himself for her sufferings now.

If God gave him another chance, he would cherish every moment they spent together and never break her heart.

But he didn't know if she would decide to leave him.

After some time, Celeste got up from his arms. Shocked, Gary looked up at her as she stood in front of him.

Worried, he whispered, "Celeste?"

She lowered her head and stared

into his eyes, not saying a word. Then she put her arms around his neck, closing the distance between their tips. With her breath on his lips, she whispered, "I want you"

His hair stood and he gulped hard.

He couldn't believe his ears, let alone his eyes, as he had never expected her to act this way.
