True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1498

"Hey, what the hell? Are you encouraging Celeste to leave me?" Gary's anger flared up the moment he heard that.

"No, I'm not, but if you weren't my cousin, I would have done so. I used to think that you two were a perfect match, but now I think I was wrong. I feel that Celeste will go on to be the best version of herself, but I don't think it'll end up the same for you. I don't have anything else to say, so I hope you figure it out eventually."

After saying that, Maria quickly hung up the phone as she didn't want to keep talking to Gary.

In fact, Celeste had already come clean after ending her call with Gary the other day, including the fact that he did not bring up the issue of her going to Boston. Hence, she thought that Gary didn't really love her with all his heart.

Maria also agreed with Celeste's assessment.

Maria thought that if someone was not obsessed with their partner, then it was not real love.

After she'd vehemently defended Celeste over the phone with Gary, she also texted Celeste to tell her what happened.

"Celeste, Gary called earlier and said that you didn't pick up when he called you. He's a little worried, but I ended up yelling at him for being a bad boyfriend. Are you guys doing okay?"

In fact, Celeste had sent a message to Gary after she declined his call, telling him, "I'm busy right now. I'll give you a call when I'm done with work ."

At that moment, Gary didn't see the message because he was in a hurry to call Maria. His brows furrowed when he read the text after he ended the call with Maria.

Apparently, Celeste was so busy that she couldn't even answer the phone.

Hence, he put away his phone and decided to ignore her.

However, he was very annoyed as he paced back and forth inside the apartment.

Meanwhile, Lowell was very surprised to see Gary like this. Gary was usually calm and emotionless, and it was rare for him to act this way.

"What happened? You look pissed off."

"Celeste didn't answer my call, and I haven't heard from her in two weeks. If she fails to pick up the phone when I call, she won't take the initiative to call me back either."

Lowell raised his eyebrows and replied, "Maybe she's really busy. You told me that she's transferred to another university. Obviously, she would need time to adjust to her new major."

However, Gary snorted in reply, "That doesn't mean that she can't give me a call right? What a ridiculous excuse."

He carefully recalled what Maria had said to him earlier.

Gary frowned as he looked at Lowell and said, "Lowell, what do you think is going on in Celeste's mind? Is she mad that I never asked her to come to Boston? Well, I did refuse her suggestion for me to go to London earlier, and we didn't contact each other after that."

Hearing this, Lowell glanced at Gary and said with a smirk, "Haven't you already found the answer to your question?"

"I'm not sure. This only started happening after that day."

"Gary, let's put it this way. Celeste loves you, and she asked you to go to London because she wants to be with you. What was she going to do after you rejected her?"

"You've never brought up the matter of her coming to Boston, and you refused to go to London to further your studies with her. Despite that, you still say you love her, so what is she supposed to believe?"

"Now that she's ignoring you, you assume that she doesn't love you. I think it's good for her to be independent. Don't you think she has a right to be mad after you rejected her?"

Gary's expression soured after Lowell finished speaking.

His mood did not improve over the next few days as Celeste did not call him. It was as if she'd completely dropped off the radar after she sent that text.

Gary's expression only became worse as the days wore on, and he didn't even feel like talking.

Lowell found it very amusing when he saw Gary like this. Finally, he couldn't help but say to Gary, "Why don't you call her again? You know that girls need to be coaxed sometimes."
