Chapter 2061
Upstairs.
When Celeste entered the room, there was no one else in the bedroom. The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
She felt awkward.
It was because of what happened that evening.
She didn't know what to do, but she still went upstairs as per Grace's request.
She didn't want to refuse Grace as she knew about Grace's intentions.
Now that she was in the room, she was at a loss as to what to do.
She looked around and saw that there were no clothes on the bed.
Gary had the habit of changing outside of the bathroom, so he never brought a change of clothes in. It seemed that he had yet to choose what he was going to wear.
With that, she went to the closet and took out a set of clean clothes, putting them on the bed.
She thought that she would have to go downstairs after a little more time.
Otherwise, it would be awkward if she was still in the room when he came out of the bathroom. She didn't want a repeat of the afternoon's events. She had to leave before that.
However, she could not be too hasty even if she wanted to go downstairs. Otherwise, Grace would be suspicious of her.
Celeste was in a dilemma.
She stayed in the room for six minutes and was about to leave.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Heinz walking up the stairs.
She was shocked, so she closed the door hurriedly.
Fortunately, she did not make a sound while closing the door.
Her heart was pounding as if she had done something wrong.
Who was he looking for upstairs?
Ernest and Leah were in the villa on the mountain.
So he must be here to look for Gary or her.
But the chances were slim that he was looking for her.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
So he must be here for Gary.
There was no doubt about that.
Celeste waited. If Heinz were to knock on the door, she could open it for him and grab the chance to leave.
However, there was no knock on the door even after a long time.
She was a little astonished.
She had seen him by the stairwell. It was apparent that he was coming upstairs.
But why hadn't he knocked on the door after a minute of her waiting?
She grew suspicious.
She pressed her ear on the door, trying to hear movements from the outside.
There were no sounds of footsteps.
Did he leave?
She didn't feel like it either.
As Celeste hesitated, the bathroom door opened. She turned around and saw Gary coming out naked. He was dripping water everywhere.
The water droplets dripped from his hair to his handsome face, trickling down his neck, over his throat, and down his muscular chest. He looked like a model walking out of a magazine.
She was dumbfounded.
She even forgot to turn her head away.
As soon as he came out, he saw her turning her head to look at him after leaning against the door. It didn't seem like she was going to turn away anytime soon. She just stared at him with a frown on her face. She looked slightly shocked.
It seemed that she didn't come to see him on purpose.
At that moment, Celeste came to herself.
She immediately turned around and faced the door without saying a word.
He watched her turn around awkwardly, but she had yet to leave. Knowing her, she would have left already.
So what was going on now?
Why was she standing by the door and not leaving? He looked at her and the door with a frown on his face. Was there something wrong outside?
He didn't even bother to put something on before walking towards her.
Celeste felt Gary approaching her. Her body went stiff, and she didn't dare to move as she sensed him behind her.
"Is there something the matter?" he asked.
Shocked, she turned around immediately and gestured for him to be quiet.
However, his naked body was in full view again. She didn't drop her gaze lower than his face.
No matter what, she would feel embarrassed to look at anything below his neck.
Although she had seen him naked countless times and touched him too, she couldn't bear to look now.
She was embarrassed.
He had no intention of leaving. With his hands on his hips, he stood by the door and whispered, "What's going on? Who is standing outside the door?"
Celeste shook her head and once again made a gesture of silence.
Gary frowned again. "You do know you have to tell me anyway, right?"
"Uncle Heinz," she said.
He was stunned. "What is he doing there?"
But she was as clueless as him.
She did not know where to keep her eyes on. With that, she whispered, "Could we talk after you put something on."
It was so embarrassing to have to talk to him while he was naked.
Gary lowered his head to look at himself. Then, he turned to look at Celeste's blushing face.
He grabbed her by the arm, and she screamed.
Ignoring her scream, he dragged her further inside of the room, asking, "What is my dad doing outside?"
After she calmed down, she realized that he was not going to do anything to her. He had dragged her in because he had wanted to talk.
She felt even more embarrassed.
"I don't know." She shook her head, and her face was as red as a tomato.
"Do you think you could be mistaken?" he asked.
Celeste shook her head, saying, "It can't be. I saw him walking up the stairs. I'm not too sure why either. I think he's by our door."
Gary frowned. It was strange indeed. Could they be suspicious of something?
He stood there with his hands on his hips, not in a hurry to change his clothes.
She was still embarrassed, and so she urged, "Put on some clothes, or you'll catch a cold."
"You don't have to worry about mel
wouldn't get sick from this. I'm like a
walking heater." After finishing his words, he paused, feeling like he had just said something wrong
Sure enough, she turned her head away awkwardly.
He still did not put on his clothes.
Celeste had no choice but to grab the bath towels and threw them at him
"Come on, wipe yourself dry."
"He is here to eavesdrop on us." Gary did not take the towel. Instead, he continued speaking.
She froze and looked up at him. Could it be true that Heinz had come to eavesdrop on them?
Unlikely.
She didn't feel like they had given themselves away, so why was Heinz suspicious of them?
Even if he was, he wouldn't eavesdrop on them. Wouldn't that be awkward?
With a towel around his waist and another on his shoulder, Gary went out of the room.
Celeste wanted to stop him, but he had opened the door.
There was no one at the door.
Because she was too afraid, she didn't dare to look in the direction of the door. Therefore, she didn't know there was no one outside.
He stood by the door, and his eyes glittered before clearing his throat to say, "Dad, what are you
doing?"
There was no answer outside the door.
Celeste didn't hear any response. Embarrassed, she wanted so badly for the ground to swallow her whole.
Gary then said, "It doesn't seem appropriate to eavesdrop on your son, does it? Show yourself, or d
ask Celeste to come and see what you're doing."
There was still no answer, so he added, "Well. Since you don't dare to reply, I'm going back into my room. Leave us alone."
Then, he closed the door.
Inside the room, she was blushing so hard that even her neck was red.
He looked at her with a grin. It seemed like he was in a good mood.
He walked towards her and said, "My dad was eavesdropping on us at the door. I didn't expect him to do something so shameless."
Celeste didn't know what to say.
"Looks like we need to be more careful in the future and not let them see through our act. They must be suspicious already," Gary reminded her.
"What should we do now?"
