True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1243

"Now, Celeste's decision is to go to England with Ernest." Grace said, "Earlier today she was still planning to persuade Gary to study in the United States with the both of them. Look at how she has changed her mind within a few hours."

"In that case, since she has made her decision already, why do you still have to fuss over it?" Heinz asked Grace, "Aren't you just being too anxious over it now?"

Grace was startled. After thinking for a while, she nodded, "Gary is leaving in three days. Will you be seeing him off?"

"I won't be going." Heinz refused immediately.

"You're not?" Grace was appalled, "Why aren't you going?"

"This isn't my decision anyway, so why should I go with him when I didn't even agree to let him go in the first place?" Heinz shook his head, "Since this is his own decision, Lester should accompany him instead."

"Why are you behaving like this?" Grace couldn't grasp his intentions for not accompanying his son to the United States, "Are you even his dad?"

"Has he ever addressed me as his dad?"

Grace became speechless instantly.

That was right.

Gary had never called him Dad.

For so many years, this child had refused to address him as Dad, and only God knew how much longer he would continue to do so.

After more than ten years, Grace still didn't know what to do with Gary, so she started feeling uncomfortable.

Grace fell silent; she didn't know what to say.

Sensing her change of emotions, Heinz held his hand and comforted, "You're being too worried about him. He is all grown up, and I think the way they handled their simultaneous crush on Celeste rather well. At the very least, they're both very rational about it. Don't you think that you're the most irrational one in this whole matter?"

Stunned, Grace lowered her shoulders and said worriedly, "You're right. I understand that I'm being too anxious about it as well. But at the end of the day, this is still the first time Gary is going so far away."

"The school has already been informed, hasn't it?" Heinz said, "Furthermore, the education agency is also in charge of his accommodation, not to mention the fact that we have an office overseas for international affairs. Although this is the first time he's heading overseas to study, he travels around the world every year, so there's nothing to be worried about."

"Okay," Grace nodded and said, "Although I'm still worried, I have to admit that you do make a point here."

"Your worries haven't been eased yet." Heinz understood her well, "That's because of your duty and responsibility as a mother. The reason why I'm not going to the United States with him isn't that I'm not worried about him. It's simply because I'm trying to tell him that he's in charge of his own decision and that he has to stick to it until the end."

Grace was startled and stared at Heinz in silence.

Heinz said, "Didn't you complain that I was pampering them too much, saying that I couldn't even bear to watch them suffer just a bit? Now that I'm going easy on them, you end up being too worried about them. Grace, be honest, who do you think is pampering the children more?"

After thinking about it, Grace blushed from embarrassment as she shook her head, "Okay, I'm the one who is pampering them more. I'm just too paranoid about this whole thing." "Yes, so you should just stop worrying about this.

Not only will I not see Gary off, but I also won't do it to Ernest as well." Heinz said, "Let them go on their own. Lester will accompany Gary while Alex will accompany Ernest."

"Alright, you can just call the shots."

Hence, the both of them reached a consensus on this matter.

The news regarding Gary's flight was spread around the Jones family.
