True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1425

"Celeste, Gary isn't by your side, is he?" Grace asked as she only saw Celeste on the other side of the video call.

Celeste nodded to her phone, "He went to buy coffee."

"Great." Grace smiled, "Perfect time for us to talk about some secrets."

"Secrets?" Celeste was a little surprised.

"Yeah," Grace said, "Gary's secret."

Celeste's chest tightened, but she was also a little excited, "Aunt Grace, what secret is it?"

"Actually, I already briefly talked about it when Gary was here just now," Grace said, "It's just I didn't say it in detail."

"Mm." Celeste nodded.

"Gary can be quite difficult to deal with," Grace said, "You've probably heard about it. He still hasn't addressed your Uncle Jones as his father even until now."

"Huh?! Why?" Although Celeste had heard about it a long time ago, it was still surprising to hear Aunt Grace confirm it.

"Who knows." Grace said, "From what I can tell, it's because of his personality. He probably feels that his father had wronged me in the past, so he's unwilling to address his father as so. Honestly, his father is rather prideful and hid some facts, so he hasn't actually wronged me. But Gary wouldn't do it no matter what."

Celeste was taken aback. Although she didn't know Gary well, she still felt it was a possibility after hearing Aunt Grace's words.

"He still wouldn't do it even until now." Grace sighed, "He's not an easy one, so you'll find it difficult being with him."

Celeste was taken aback again. Looking at Aunt Grace, she felt a touch of warmth in her heart. She always felt that Aunt Grace was compassionate toward her. She was as gentle as ever, and she would put herself in her shoes.

Celeste was truly moved.

Grace continued, "You'll definitely constantly feel aggrieved dating him. But don't be afraid. He's actually a paper tiger. If you're forceful, he will pester you. Anyhow, I think you can live without him, but he would probably be screwed if he leaves you."

Grace had hit the nail on the head.

Celeste felt that Aunt Grace was right about some things, such as pestering.

Gary was behaving like so. He had always said he would leave; however, he would change his mind again.

Seeing the complicated mood changes on Celeste's face, Grace knew something was wrong.

"Celeste, Gary has been deeply in love with you since four years ago. Although he is in America, he still thinks about you a lot. You two have grown up, and he is willing to go to America. I'm telling you, he won't be able to stand not being with you, and he would fly to England often to see you. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. He will definitely regret not going to England with you in the first place or regret not persuading you to go to America." Grace said.

"Not necessarily, I think." Celeste shook her head, "He doesn't regret it now."

"That's because he still doesn't know it." Grace smiled. "You'll see. When he goes back to Boston, it wouldn't even be a week before he wants to see you again."

"Will he?" Celeste still found it hard to believe.

Grace nodded and guaranteed her. "He will. He'll definitely visit you again very soon. Once a man has a taste of it, he'll want more."

Celeste's face flushed instantly.

She could tell what Aunt Grace meant.

She was referring to them living together.

Once a man had a taste of a woman, he would want more, and it would be hard for him to quit.

Except, she wasn't sure if she had the charm.

She was highly doubtful.

"Have more confidence in yourself, Celeste." Grace comforted her. "He likes you very much, so don't doubt your charm, and don't doubt his feelings for you."

Celeste pursed her lips and nodded.

Grace continued, "Also, I've already warned the butler for being a busybody and to not blindly pair couples. The reason Gary didn't explain your relationship with him is that he thinks there's no need for him to say anything to the butler. So don't misunderstand his thoughts."

Celeste was touched once more. Aunt Grace is too sensitive; she even thought about this.

Celeste nodded, "Aunt Grace, I understand. Don't worry; I'll try my best."

She truly wanted to give it her all.

"Good," Grace could tell Celeste was insecure, so she was particularly considerate to her, "It's right to be pedantic when you two encounter an issue. Some things need to be sorted out with an argument, but some things also need to be magnanimous. You're still young; it'll all make sense when you're older."

"Aunt Grace, I know these are your heartfelt words and also what you've concluded from your experiences. I know I can easily split hairs sometimes. I'll think through what you've just said and tell myself not to make a fuss about small matters." Celeste promised.

"Good girl," Grace smiled. "There are some things you need to make a fuss with him. Like Janice."

Celeste's eyes widened instantly.

"If you don't fuss over it and wait for him to explain it to you. How long will the misunderstanding last? But you make it clear, and he still doesn't know how to correct the situation after he knows about it, then he's just too dumb. So, you see, he asked for my help now that he knows. Just now, he texted me to video call you." Grace told Celeste what Gary did. "Do you know how rare it is for Gary to do so?"

How could Celeste not know?

She knew Gary was a prideful boy a long time ago.

He usually wouldn't admit his mistakes and apologize.

"I have a hunch." Celeste nodded sincerely, "He has indeed changed a lot." "He's someone who thinks he's better than everyone else; there is no way he would lower his head and ask for help. So, you see, he is serious about you." Grace said.

"Mm," Celeste said.

"Alright, cheer up," Grace said.
