True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1264

Zachary's sharp gaze fell on his daughter's face, but he did not look at Ernest in a hurry. He felt that his daughter had something on her mind.

After she turned twelve years old, she would not tell adults if she had bothering her.

Such was a sign that she had grown up.

Zachary knew in his heart that it was inevitable for his daughter to grow up. He knew that she would have her own world when she grew older, and she would no longer share things with her parents. He could no longer guess what she was thinking.

This was not a good feeling.

Now, Maria had to leave the country for England to study. This was her choice. The sudden decision caught him off guard.

His absence before she was five made Zachary feel even more sorry for his daughter. He had always loved her and doted on her more than his youngest son.

Now, she was going to leave with worries on her mind. He was a bit concerned.

Yvonne turned her head and saw Ernest walking towards them along with Grace and Heinz. She immediately smiled and reached out to pull Zachary.

It was only then that Zachary looked away.

"Ernest, you're here," Maria greeted him enthusiastically. She let go of her father's arm and walked towards him, all while also greeting her relatives, "Aunt Grace, Uncle Heinz."

"Maria, you've arrived so early," Grace reached to hold Maria's hand and said to Ernest, "Ernest, when you arrive in England, you need to take good care of her."

With a faint smile, Ernest nodded with a calm expression, "Mommy, I will."

Maria looked up at him, and he seemed different from yesterday.

It was probably because he had been angry yesterday, which was a rare sight.

Now, Ernest had returned to his normal poker face. He looked very calm, as if nothing had happened.

Maria pouted and smiled at Ernest, "Ernest, thank you."

"You're welcome, Maria," Ernest said lightly, glancing at Maria with a sparkle in his eyes.

Maria shrugged and shot him a bright smile, asking, "Why hasn't Celeste come yet? Has she contacted you?"

"No, not yet." Ernest replied calmly.

"Oh," Maria thought about it and found that it made sense. Celeste was now aware of the boundaries she should set, so it was reasonable that she would not contact Ernest first. If she wanted to contact him, she would contact Maria first. With that, Maria suggested, "Then I'll call her."

"Are you talking about Celeste White?" Grace asked.

"Yep," Maria picked up the phone and dialed Celeste's number, "Hello, Celeste, where are you?"

"At the entrance of the airport," Celeste said, "It won't be long till I get to the departure hall."

"Hurry up, we're all here," Maria said.

"Okay, I'll be right there," Celeste replied with a crisp voice.

After hanging up the phone, Maria found that Grace was staring at her. She was very surprised and asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Grace?"

"You three are going to England together, and Gary is alone in the United States. Why don't you guys study together?" Grace sighed, and she was rather exasperated at this matter.

Ernest was stunned. He looked at his mother, and there was an apologetic look in his eyes.

Maria grinned, "Aunt Grace, you can only say that Gary and Ernest are too strong-willed. Since they want to be apart, this is the only way everyone can be happy."

Then, she turned to look at Ernest.

Ernest gave Maria a warning glance.

Maria stuck out her tongue and retorted, "I didn't say anything wrong. You insisted on going to England, while Gary insisted on going to the United States. Both of you are too self-centered, don't you agree?"

Ernest raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Maria, why are you so determined to go to England? Before that, you didn't want to further your studies, but you suddenly changed your mind. There must be some reason, right?"
