True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2029

Since it was the same video as the one he had seen previously, there might not be a lot of videos from the looks of it.

Gary put the phone down and quietly looked out the window. There was a cold breeze blowing and the waves were splashing. He withdrew his gaze and looked in Celeste's direction.

At that moment, Celeste was sound asleep. She seemed to be extremely tired, and Gary's gaze couldn't help but soften.

He sent a message to Yandrea, put down the phone, and lay back down by Celeste's side. He propped himself up with his elbow and looked at Celeste, his gaze locked.

His gaze was completely fixated on Celeste's eyes. He didn't know how much time had passed as he just looked at Celeste like that. He didn't sleep, but just continued to look at Celeste.

As if she felt that something was different, Celeste suddenly woke up from her sleep.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with Gary's deep gaze.

His deep dark eyes were a slightly bloodshot.

She was stunned as she spoke with much endearment, "Did you not rest? Your eyes are bloodshot. Why don't you sleep?"

Gary lay lazily on the bed as a faint smile came upon his lips, he then said, "I was nervously waiting for your punishment."

Celeste was shocked and she looked at Gary, puzzled.

Of course, she was quick-witted and almost immediately, she seemed to have understood something and asked, "Did you pick up the call? Was it bad news?"

Gary couldn't help but to sigh. Celeste was indeed smart. With one sentence, she could already guess it.

He gave a wry smile and nodded. He wasn't quick to speak as he was not sure if Celeste could stay calm after watching the video.

He was a little nervous. The longer he didn't speak, the more wary Celeste's heart became.

"It seems like something must have happened. Janice kept on calling. So, you must have contacted her after I fell asleep, right? If that was it, is there still anything you can't tell me?" Celeste softly said.

Gary nodded. "Indeed, it does seem that I can tell you everything."

As he spoke, Gary then passed the phones to Celeste, including his and Celeste's.

As he handed it over, he added, "I didn't delete a single message. I initially wanted to, but I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I kept everything. Take a look."

Celeste hesitated while taking over the phone. She looked down and started reading the message. As she finished reading through all the messages, she was quiet.

She sat on the bed with her head slightly lowered. Her long hair covered her face, and no one could see her expression at the moment.

Also, exactly because of that, Gary felt a sense of uneasiness.

Celeste watched the video and saw how Janice was sitting on top of Gary.

The movement of her moving up and down, and the both of them weren't even wearing any clothes. There was nothing between them, and if it was said that nothing had happened between them, even Celeste dared not think about its possibility.

How could nothing have happened?

If it was acting, could every single movement be

so realistic?

It would be way too real, if it was just an act.

However, Gary was rather open, and even kept the video for her to see.

She didn't know what to think about it. She only felt very uncomfortable upon seeing such a scene. Her whole body tensed up and her heart made her feel as if she was suffocating.

"Aren't you going to give me an explanation?" Celeste finally spoke up. Her tone was slow and her voice was hushed, which made him feel uneasy. Gary's entire body stiffened, his gaze on Celeste's tensed up. He still rather calmly said, "I'm waiting for your punishment."

"Aren't you going to explain whether or not you did it?" Celeste spoke again, her tone still soft and casual.

A sharp pain flashed across Gary's cool face. Celeste still doubted him. After watching the video, Celeste was still suspicious about whether or not he really did it with Janice.

His face instantly turned pale, all the blood drained from it.

At that moment, Celeste gently raised her eyes and looked at Gary. Her apathetic eyes on her emotionless face then looked like she was in great despair and sorrow.

She looked at Gary with her pair of calm and fixed eyes, and there was a trace of hopelessness in them.

"I think that I didn't do anything," Gary still said.

Even if the video was the way it was, Gary still thought that nothing had happened between him and Janice.

"At least, your body and hers were in contact, right?" Celeste lightly said, "It's just a matter of whether there was pration or not, right?"

Upon hearing that, Gary's eyes narrowed abruptly, and a sharp pain was emerging from his gaze.

She spoke in such a way that it was straightforward, simple yet cruel.

Gary understood in his heart that Celeste wouldn't say such a thing unless she was at her limit.

Gary's hand was tightly clenched into a fist. He had a gloomy expression, and his eyes were dim.

He said softly, "You don't believe me, do you?"

"It's not a matter about me believing you or not anymore, I just feel that you seem like you are not brave enough to admit it. Even if you really did something with her, I can't do anything to you."

Celeste quietly looked at Gary's pale face, then she slowly got up and went to the bathroom.

She said while walking, "Actually, this is just a wee bit of a situation between a man and a woman, and it's actually nothing. If you really did do it, then so be it. Let's not get hung up upon this matter anymore."

Celeste felt like whenever she closed her eyes, the image of Janice sitting on Gary with both their bodies stark naked would appear in her head, and she couldn't help but to feel a stabbing pain in her heart.

What was the meaning of all those things anymore?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

What she was in a dilemma with was also rather extreme. Was she just overthinking?

It was a rather simple matter for men, as don't all men have a few women with them?

How could Gary stay faithful to her and only her for the rest of his life?

It seemed a request too harsh for a man.

Celeste also thought that maybe her standard was too stringent, she pursed her lips, as if mocking herself. "Even if you really did it, I wouldn't blame you."

Looking at her back as she walked to the bathroom, Gary felt much pain and suffering in his heart.

He then said in a rough voice, "I did not do it with

Janice. Or if we are to put it your way, as in whether I put it in her or not, I definitely didn't. However, everything has been made very clear now. There was at least some intimate contact, so I can't say otherwise."

Celeste's back stiffened. She felt her heart aching bit by bit, and both her hands were tightly clenched.

"Did you say that you were waiting for my punishment?"

Gary was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Celeste.

After a long while, he hummed in agreement.

"Let's head back to land," Celeste then said, "After we return to Boston, let's break up.

Yet, before that, when we are back the Jones Family, let's put on an act like we are a loving couple."

Gary's entire body froze as he looked at Celeste.

He muttered Celeste's name in his heart. With he thought of the decision Celeste made, the pain in his heart intensified.

As Celeste had made her decision then, he couldn't blame her either.

After all, he has disappointed Celeste, and even caused her despair. If he continued to explain, it would be like he was just deceiving himself.

He didn't want to speak, it was just that in his heart, he was extremely upset.

"Okay, I'll follow your decision."

Half an hour later, they returned to Northern City.

Upon arriving at Northern City, Gary asked if Celeste wanted to return home first, or to head to the villa in the mountain. Celeste decided upon the mountain villa.

In fact, she did not have the confidence to put on a good front before Aunt Smith and Uncle Jones and not show any suspicion. She needed to readjust her own.

mountain villa was the bean over emotions first, so going be

the

In the mountain villa, she could be quiet for a moment.

Gary didn't object either, and completely followed Celeste's wish. He brought her back to the mountain villa.

When they arrived, Ernest and Leah were in the villa.

Upon seeing Celeste and Gary's return, Leah and Ernest were both very surprised. Ernest asked, "That was fast. We thought you guys would probably stay at the sea for a week Why have you guys returned

after just a few days?"

l.n

"Mm." Gary acknowledged faintly. Without even looking at Ernest and Leah, he left after only saying, "I'll be heading up to sleep, you guys can chat

first."

Celeste felt a little awkward. She didn't expect Gary to be so cold and just go upstairs.

She smiled at Leah and Ernest and said, "The sea breeze was too strong, and there wasn't much scenery in the winter, so we came back."

"That's true, being at the sea during

winter is just cold, and there's nothing else about it. Unlike in the summer, where you could look at the seascape on the deck," Leah said, "Celeste, why do you seem so much thinner?"

Leah's words immediately attracted Ernest's attention and he looked at Celeste and nodded, "Yeah, Leah is right, you do seem thinner."

Celeste looked rather cut out, her face as small as a palm. Looking at her, it did seem like she was a lot thinner.

"I don't think so." Celeste shook her head and awkwardly pursed her lips. She absent-mindedly thought of a reason and said, "If I look thinner, it's probably because I'm not used to the climate."

Leah could sense that Celeste's expression was rather stiff, it seemed like something had happened.

Leah smiled and said, "Celeste, you guys are probably tired after the trip. Gary already went up to rest, you should head on up too. Rest for a while,

and after that, we could have dinner together."

"All right, I'll head up too." Celeste nodded her head.

Soon, Celeste went upstairs.

Unexpectedly, just half an hour after they returned, Lowell arrived at the mountain villa.

As Celeste was in the same room as Gary, it was a little awkward, so she came down. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Lowell as she got into the

living room.

"Uncle Lowell." Celeste was stunned for a second, but she still greeted him.

Upon seeing Celeste, Lowell's expression turned complicated. His eyes were filled with deep remorse.
