True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2000

"He left?" Lowell was shocked. "When?"

"This morning," the butler said, "Master Ernest and Miss Leah went to the lake and wouldn't be back tonight. Master Gary and Miss Celeste went on a cruise. They wouldn't be back either."

"What? How were they when they left?" What concerned Lowell now was Gary and Celeste's moods.

He wanted to get some information from their interactions to help him grasp the situation.

Confused, the butler asked, "Why do you ask this, Master Lowell? Is something the matter?"

"Answer me," Lowell demanded, "How have Gary and Celeste been during their time here?"

"They seem fine. Nothing seems to be amiss." Not knowing why Lowell had asked so, the butler replied sincerely.

Instantly, Lowell breathed a sigh of relief. "So they are still lovey-dovey as always? I mean, do they look like they are?"

"That's right. They have been getting along with each other." The butler tried hard to remember the moments Gary and Celeste had been seen together before nodding. "They're glued to each other every moment of the day. Although Master Gary had gone to the United States for some time, his relationship with Miss Celeste is fine as ever."

"There wasn't anything unusual?" Lowell asked again.

"No." The butler shook his head. "They're very much in love with each other. Ah! That's why they're now on a cruise together."

"Alright, thank you." Lowell couldn't conceal his happiness, showing a smile on his face. He, too, had realized how paranoid he seemed to have asked such a stupid question. But he was just too worried that he would be the cause of a failed relationship.

"Master Lowell, would you be staying here?" Seeing that he was now happy, the butler heaved a breath of relief too. "Should I prepare a room for you?"

"I'm good. I'm going back to the mansion," Lowell said, "Give me a call when Gary and Celeste come back."

"Okay." The butler nodded.

With that, Lowell drove down the mountain shortly.

He did not choose to stay the night.

Now that there was no one there, the villa was too quiet.

So he did not intend to stay.

After returning home, Lowell went to take a nap as he had not slept well for the past few days. Right then, he was exhausted.

Offshore.

Gary and Celeste were enjoying a lovely seafood meal. Right then, they sat opposite each other, and Gary was busy peeling the shell off the crab.

Soon, his long elegant fingers separated the crab meat from its shell.

Once he was done, he pushed the plate full of crab meat towards Celeste.

"Have some," he said.

She was almost moved to tears by his gentle gesture as she thanked him, "Thank you."

"Don't mention it," Gary said as he continued on the second crab, "Leave the peeling to me."

How gentleman of him to do so.

It was almost unlike him.

Watching him, Celeste felt the changes in Gary after the matter with Janice.

Unlike the old him, he was much more considerate and attentive to her.

And she was enjoying every bit of it.
