True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1704

"Why just me? Aren't you supposed to be congratulating yourself as well?" Ernest laughed, "Is it just me, or do you sound like you have some strong opinion about this matter?"

"Well, it's not like my opinion matters anyways. It's not like we can force mom to get an abortion, right? They're going to be our younger siblings nevertheless," Gary snorted softly, then let out a helpless sigh.

Gary was already in his early twenties. He couldn't help but cringe at the thought of two baby siblings squabbling around him.

It would definitely be beyond awkward.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, Heinz and his mother were free to do whatever they wanted. He had no right to interfere with their lives.

Therefore, even if he had some reservations about Grace's pregnancy, he could not voice them out. He could only accept and respect Heinz and his mother's decision.

"You're right. In that case, let's just accept it as it is with a smile," Ernest replied in a calm tone. Ernest had always been a very easy-going person. As such, he sounded unaffected, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

"Of course. I'll do that then," After that, Gary hung up, then turned to look at Celeste.

At that moment, Celeste shot him a sympathetic look, as though she was a mother gazing upon her sulking child who was reluctant and jealous to share his mother with other siblings.

Gary met her gaze and smiled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm sulking? I'm not a child, you know?"

"But you're sulking, aren't you?" Celeste paused and asked hesitantly, "Are you sure you're not upset and jealous over this? In my opinion, you seem to be pretty unhappy about this whole situation."

Gary didn't know how to react to that and sighed, "Do you think I'm that childish?"

Celeste stared at him with wide eyes. After a long while, she nodded.

"Are you kidding me? You don't really think so, do you?" Gary asked in a helpless tone.

Celeste nodded firmly once more and explained, "I've always thought you were childish. It's pretty obvious that you're currently acting like a child who's jealous of your new siblings. It's pretty endearing."

"I'm already in my twenties! I'm not jealous of them. I just think it's weird that I'll have siblings so much younger than me," Gary argued.

"Well, Aunt Smith and Uncle Heinz don't think it's weird, so why should you?" Celeste patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "To be honest, I think you don't have to be so weirded out by the whole pregnancy. I'll be with you every step of the way. Well help Aunt Smith and Uncle Heinz take care of the baby twins in the future, alright? They are your siblings after all."

Gary could not deny that fact and could only heave a sigh, "I guess you're right."

"Indeed. Think about it. There are so many people on earth, but how many can form a closer bond with you other than your own siblings?" Celeste coaxed with a tender gaze. She was trying her best to soothe Gary's anxieties.

Gary gently placed his arm around Celeste's shoulders and laughed, "Why are you comforting me? Do you think I'm weak-minded just because of this?"

"Well, sometimes. You're not invincible or forever strong. You know that, right?" "Oh? Even in the bedroom?" Gary shot Celeste an ambiguous grin.

Celeste blushed from Gary's intense gaze. She hurriedly stammered, "What on earth are you talking about?"

"You know what I mean," Gary chuckled, his smile deepening with every word he said.

Celeste blushed harder and withdrew her hand from his, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

She went back to work with reddened cheeks. Gary watched her blush with an adoring, doting look in his eyes.

He wanted to dote on Celeste for the rest of his life. Furthermore, he wanted to have a few children with her as well.

While his parents were about to have another set of twins to raise, Gary was planning to have some children of his own with Celeste as well.

In the evening, everyone had made their way back to the mansion. The atmosphere was very lively.

Although Heinz had said that they weren't going to have a celebration, when the children found out that Grace had gotten pregnant again, everyone was elated.

When Gary and Ernest arrived, they had huge smiles planted on their faces. They seemed really happy.

It was clear that the two had processed the news and sorted out their emotions beforehand.
