True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1546

"Aren't we talking about Celeste and Gary now? Why is it becoming a story about us again?" Every time that issue was brought up, Heinz was flooded with shame and regret. All he could do was try his best to change the topic so they wouldn't dwell on the shameful matters of the past.

"Well, you were the one who brought it up. It never crossed my mind till then," Grace shot her husband a look, then quickly returned to the point at hand too, "Ernest, what on earth happened between Gary and Celeste?"

Grace naturally hoped that Ernest could tell her all that he knew for she was worried about Gary and Celeste's relationship.

However, Ernest just shook his head and said, "Mom, I don't know the specifics. Celeste and Gary didn't say anything. All they said before was that they broke up and were just friends. That's all."

Grace frowned, beginning to feel concerned.

Seeing his mother's anxiety, Ernest immediately reassured her, "Mom, they're all adults. Don't worry about them. I believe they can handle their own relationship." "Who knows," Grace sighed.

"Mom, Celeste willingly returning here this time is more than enough to prove her deep love for Gary. I think it's best if you and dad feign ignorance," Ernest suggested, "Besides, Celeste was fine with sharing a room with Gary. They've probably already made up."

"Celeste is a considerate woman. Maybe she just felt bad about having to reject it. As for whether they've made up, we have to keep observing them," Grace was helpless to do anything about it, so she could only nod, "We can only hope that they have settled their differences. I really don't know why they would break up again."

Heinz looked upstairs and spoke quietly, "Maybe they aren't suited for each other."

Grace and Ernest were flummoxed; they both swiveled to give Heinz shocked looks.

Seeing their baffled stares, Heinz explained, "Gary is an extremely egoistic boy who thinks the world of himself, whereas Celeste seems to be a considerate girl who puts herself down. She isn't strong enough yet."

"Even though they're dating, it is a long-distance relationship after all. The distance naturally creates problems, in my opinion. Just wait and see. They may have settled the score this time, but there'll still be problems between them in the future."

Grace frowned at that, "Gary has always been the taciturn sort, while Celeste is an exceptionally naive girl too. Because of their personalities, there will always be friction between them. Let's hope that they will learn to treasure each other. We shouldn't be too pessimistic. Let nature take its course."

"I'll go and see if all the preparations are done," Heinz said, wanting to head to the funeral home first.

Grace immediately said in reply, "I'll go with you."

"You haven't had enough rest," Heinz said softly, "You rest at home. There will be many guests coming in the afternoon. You'll need to deal with them later. It'll be draining."

"You can't handle it all yourself either," Grace looked at her husband worriedly, "You haven't had a good rest or slept well recently. You're not in any better condition than me."

"Mom, I'll go with dad," Ernest suggested as he glanced at his parents, "Don't worry, I can be of use. I'm sure I can handle the things that you entrust me with well."

Grace instantly seemed pleased at her son's suggestion. She eyed her son, who was now as tall as his father, and sighed, "Okay, go with your father. Take good care of him."

"Sure, mom. Don't worry, I'll look after him," Ernest promised.

Grace exchanged a look with her husband. They both knew that their children were now grown and were filial. They would help their parents when necessary.

Just as Grace was about to leave, she saw Lowell entering from outside.

"Don't worry, I've made all the necessary preparations at the funeral home. There is no need to go. You can go there at noon after you've gotten a good rest. We can just go for the memorial service," Lowell said.

Grace was baffled, "Lowell, when did you go?"

"I left before six in the morning. I went to watch them embalm our dad. It made him look better," Lowell replied.

Heinz and Ernest were about to leave initially, but they stayed upon hearing what Lowell said.

The group then sat down together.

Grace suddenly had an idea. She asked, "Lowell, do you know anything about Gary and Celeste's relationship?"

Lowell reeled in shock. He peered at Grace, "From which aspect?"

"Their breakup," Grace answered, "Celeste returned today and arrived just this morning. She's with Gary at the moment."

Lowell was thoroughly surprised, "I thought that their breakup this time would be final. I didn't think that they'd get back together again."

"Why does it seem like you know a thing or two about this?" Grace gave Lowell a hard look, "Is there something you know that we don't?"

"There is. Gary disappointed Celeste, who suffered a woman's greatest misfortune for him. However, she told me not to tell anyone about it, so my lips are sealed. You'll know about it if they willingly bring it up," Lowell could only try to hint at it.

Heinz's eyebrows knitted together in a frown as soon as he heard that. He quickly asked, "So are you going to keep us in the dark too?"

Lowell pursed his lips and kept silent.
