True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1552

Heinz shrugged his shoulders and said, "You wouldn't have listened to me like how you do now if I were to tell you. You always act like you're so smart and much better than me. Would you even bother to listen to my advice and nonsense?"

Gary was stunned. He had indeed not thought about that earlier!

It seemed that he had never had a serious talk with Heinz like this.

Also, he didn't seem to have the patience to do so.

Heinz said, "You and Celeste are not compatible, but you're still with her. Maybe she reminds you of how much you've suffered while being with your Mommy and your Little Aunt, so you feel sorry for her. But now that you two are together, you have to be responsible for her to the end!"

"I don't really like the sound of it. How do you define compatibility?" Gary replied seriously, "I know the difference between love and sympathy, and I'm not sympathetic towards her."

Seeing Gary being so protective of Celeste, Heinz smiled and teased, "Why? Does your heart ache for her when I'm badmouthing her?"

"Am I still a human if I don't feel sorry for her at all?" Gary hadn't treated Celeste well, so he didn't want the others to mistreat her for the slightest, including Heinz.

"Sounds like you're very protective of Celeste," Heinz mused.

Gary replied, "Of course, I have to protect Celeste. She's the woman I'll spend my entire life with!"

"Gary, you have a long road ahead of you. You can never be too sure."

"Don't worry, I will never file for a divorce." Gary said in a deep voice, "I won't get a divorce in the future either. Otherwise, I won't get married."

"That's a beautiful wish. I do hope that both of you will stay together from the beginning to the very end." Heinz sighed and said, "Your grandparents, they had intended to stay together at first, but look at what happened in the end?"

"I'm different from you all," Gary refuted in a deep voice. "You all aren't responsible towards your marriages. Although I can't refute this time when you say I'm a jerk, I'll definitely be better than you all when it comes to marriage."

Heinz chuckled and said, "Glad to hear. We'll see about that."

He continued, "It seems like you've really grown up now to have said this. You used to be too arrogant. Every time I saw you, I would always want to beat you up. If you weren't my son, I would have given you a good beating." It was quite unexpected for Heinz to approve of Gary.

The corner of Gary's eyes twitched and he retorted, "You think that if you weren't my father, I would be sacrificing my sleep to talk with you in the middle of the night?"

Heinz made a conclusion and said, "You see, the two of us dislike each other."

Gary agreed, "Yes, we detest each other, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"But you admitted that I'm your father. Could you address me as your Dad now?"

"In your dreams."

In the night, the two men were bickering with each other, but none of them was pissed. They seemed to be used to interacting that way.

"Gary, when will you be willing to call me Dad?" Heinz was persistent and continued to press on.

Gary frowned. "Why are you still bringing this up? Didn't I tell you to wait?"

"The problem is that I've waited for so many years." Heinz thought that he had a good temper. Otherwise, he would have lost his patience after waiting for all those years.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore." Gary replied, "It's getting late. Head back and take a rest."

"No, I don't want to. I'm such a failure." Heinz sighed. "I always feel like I'm a failure when I see you."

"Then you have to thank me for acting as your reminder." Gary turned around to head down the stairs, but he stopped and reminded Heinz, "Go back early and keep Mommy company. She's very disappointed in me. You should be in your best behavior. Don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up."

Heinz's lips twitched as he protested, "You're aware of the fact that you're dragging me along with your mistakes?"

When Gary went downstairs, Heinz hurriedly followed suit.

Back in the room, he saw Grace, who was wearing a cotton sleeping robe. She was wide awake, leaning against the headboard.

When he entered the room, Grace glanced at him and directly questioned, "You're finally willing to return to our room? Have you had fresh enough air?"

"Yes." Heinz smiled sheepishly.

She asked, "What did Gary tell you when both of you were upstairs?"

Heinz lifted his eyebrows in surprise. "How do you know that I was upstairs with Gary?"

He didn't notice anyone else in the corridor.

Grace had an inscrutable look on her face.
