Grace and Heinz wanted to ask Ernest to bring Leah home for a meal so that they could get to know her better.
They wanted to meet Ernest's girlfriend. As even Jensen had met her, it made them feel even more impatient to want to meet her.
The next reason was because the New Year was just around the corner. Gary and Celeste were going to come back from Boston to celebrate the New Year. They wanted the whole family to gather together. The twins had both found their girlfriends, which was a good thing. Naturally, they hoped that everyone could spend time together.
However, they could not reach him by phone. Of course, they were smart enough to know why.
The two of them had been separated for so long, and they were so young too. Naturally, they would want to stick around together for some time when they finally reunited.
Grace gave up after trying to call him twice.
Heinz dared not protest or do anything to his wife. After all, his wife was pregnant, and could not be angry at all.
He dared not make her angry at all, so he could only laugh along with her.
"When he sees the missed call, he will call back."
"Okay." Grace nodded, she put down the phone and told Heinz, "Celeste and Gary are back too. Let's get together tonight."
"Sure, I will listen to you. However, there's one thing you should remember. Don't get too tired." Heinz was afraid that she would be too tired, for Grace was not young anymore. She was getting old and was pregnant, with twins at that. Naturally, it wouldn't be easy for her.
Everyone cared for Grace a lot, for fear that something bad would happen to her.
Dinner was held at six o'clock sharp.
After Gary and Celeste came back, they took a shower and changed their clothes. After that, they accompanied Grace and chatted with her.
"Was your trip back a smooth one?" Grace held Celeste's hands and asked.
"It was, Aunt Grace, please don't worry about us." Celeste smiled as she told Grace, "Everything was well in Boston too, Uncle Lowell and Gary took good care of me. Don't worry."
"That's great. It seems that Lowell isn't coming back again this time." Grace was a little worried. Lowell seldom went back, and he spent most of his time in the lab.
"Uncle Lowell said that he had already come back this year, and there is still a lot of work for him to do in the lab, so he won't come back." Celeste was worried that Grace would be worried about Lowell, so she purposely comforted her. "However, don't worry. Uncle Lowell said that he will take good care of himself, and he was afraid that you would worry about him. He also said that he would come back to see the babies after you give birth."
Grace was stunned, she laughed. "Lowell has been very warm-hearted ever since he was a child. He is a good kid. I wonder if he is in a relationship now."
Celeste shook her head. "We don't know that."
"Mommy, don't worry about Lowell. He is great. He will be in a relationship when the time is right." Gary continued, "He's not in a hurry anyway."
"He might not be in a hurry, but I am." Grace looked at Gary and then at Celeste. She sighed. "Gary and Ernest are both in love. As an uncle, Lowell is over three years older than them, but he doesn't care about his future. So, of course I am worried about him."
Celeste nodded. "We will convey your worries to Uncle Lowell." "All right, let him know that I'm very worried. Tell him to find girlfriend to accompany him fast. They could take care of each other so that we won't be worried anymore." As she spoke, she suddenly felt gossipy and asked Gary, "Gary, is Lowell normal?"
Gary was almost shocked to death by his mother's question.
He looked at his mother, shook his head and laughed, "Mommy, what's on your mind? Why would Lowell be abnormal? He's normal. Don't worry. He used to like Janice, but I don't know if he still likes her. I don't know. He is always staying in school. He probably didn't come back because he was afraid of disturbing Celeste and I. I don't exactly know what's on his mind."
Gary was extremely calm when he mentioned Janice.
However, Celeste lowered her gaze.
Ever since she went to Boston, she had met with Janice several times. When they met, Janice was still the same as always. She still had a deep obsession with Gary.
However, Celeste herself had changed.
Ever since she experienced some matters, she no longer troubled herself or Gary because of Janice's affairs. After all, Gary did not have too much feelings for her.
When it came to Janice, Celeste was still indifferent, and she did not want to have too much interactions with her.
Seeing Celeste lowering her gaze, Grace could not help but to glance at her again, and she even glanced sideways at Gary. His son was really slow.
He had almost lost Celeste because of Janice, yet he did not learn his lesson.
Gary was also surprised when he saw Celeste acting that way. He felt greatly aggrieved.
He brought up Janice only because he wanted to prove that he had nothing to do with Janice at all. That was why he was so calm when he mentioned her name, instead of actually having any other thoughts about it.
