True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1509

As promised, Celeste went home that weekend. When she appeared in front of everyone, they were taken aback.

Celeste got a haircut, and her hair was very short at the moment.

She looked bold and spirited, the complete opposite of her previous self. She got a pixie cut.

Celeste's change in appearance was really surprising.

Maria circled around her and said in surprise, "Why did you cut your hair? You look like a boy without your beautiful black locks. People might just mistake you for Ernest's nephew. What's going on?"

Ernest thought that it was peculiar, Celeste seems to be in a good shape. The only problem was that she was much thinner. He smiled and asked, "What happened? Are you turning over a new leaf?"

Celeste smiled and admitted generously, "That's right. I'm turning over a new leaf. I broke up with Gary."

Upon hearing this, both Maria and Ernest were transfixed on her.

Celeste, on the contrary, looked much more relaxed. "I came back to drop you this bomb. Don't ask why, and don't try to set me up with him anymore. I'm happy with how things are right now. It's too tiring to be with him, and I assume he feels the same. Both of us are tired, we're just not meant to be. So now we're apart. Look, I'm doing well right now, and that's all that matters.

Celeste's words caught them off guard.

Maria and Ernest didn't know what to say. They looked at each other and both fell silent.

The three of them gathered together and had a good chat. Anything Gary-related was forbidden ever since.

When it was almost time for bed, Maria couldn't help but ask, "What happened between the two of you? Why did you break up with Gary?"

Her face turned very serious, Celeste stared at Maria. "Maria, please don't pry any further. I don't want to talk about this, I'm satisfied with my current situation. Why, it's better for me to have a simple and stress-free life."

Although she didn't know what had happened, Maria knew that this was very a difficult discussion to talk about upon seeing how reluctant Celeste was.

Maria realized that Celeste had made up her mind this time, and she was happy with how things were at the moment.

Celeste answered several calls that night, all of which were about her research and thesis. It was obvious that she was living a very fulfilling and busy life.

Maria was a little worried. Since Celeste refused to talk about what had happened, she had no choice but to call Gary herself.

But he didn't answer the phone.

Maria took a selfie of their small gathering and sent it to Gary. She had expected him to reply immediately, but it was only until Celeste left the next morning that Gary finally call her.

"You finally called back. Gary, what are you up to?" Maria asked, cutting to the chase. "Celeste said that you two broke up. Ernest and I were just heard about it last night. What happened between you two? Did you bully her again?"

It was rare for Gary to not refute her like he usually would.

"Yes, we broke up," he admitted. "Maria, no more questions, please. I've done her wrong. She proposed to break up and I respected her decision. So, don't bring this up again, and don't send me photos of her anymore." "What?" Maria was stunned. "You agreed to break up?"

"Yup." Gary sounded indifferent, but Maria was very dejected.

"You refuse to look at Celeste's photos. What are you trying to do, Gary? And don't give me all that stuff about you not having any feelings for Celeste. Are you going to give up on her just like that?"

"Maria, stop it. I told you-we've broken up. Thank you for your concern. It's not that I'm giving up but Celeste has suffered too much. Both of us have already come to that conclusion. You don't have to send me photos of her anymore. Goodbye."

With that, Gary hung up the phone.

He looked at the photo Maria sent him over the phone. The girl in the photo had her hair cut short, and she was smiling. She looked beautiful. She had changed.

Because her hair was short, her entire face was exposed. She still looked thin, but she was glowing nonetheless.

Celeste was smiling with a very bright and relaxed expression. Her whole face was emanating a genuinely youthful spirit.

Gary stood in front of the mirror and looked at his reflection. From every angle, he looked drained and listless.

For the first time in a while, he finally admitted that Celeste looked bubbly after she left him. Celeste was the one who had truly suffered in this relationship, and he was the cause of her suffering.

He had taken for granted the fact he truly loved Celeste in complete totality, but it turned out to only be his sense of self-righteousness.
