True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2003

Outside, Celeste heard everything Gary said. Although she couldn't hear Yandrea's words, she could infer what he had said based on Gary's words.

Janice was pregnant.

And it was Gary's.

She had found out from the call with Janice, but she had tried to be hopeful, thinking it was just a joke from Janice.

But now? From Gary's words, she knew that it was the truth.

Why had she been so naive to think that it wasn't real?

At this moment, there was no color on Celeste's face. It was as if her soul had been taken away.

Leaning against the wall, she struggled to keep herself standing as she did not want to collapse.

Only then did she realize how much it meant to hear it for herself.

She had thought that she was strong enough, but her heart was in pieces.

But could she blame Gary?

She couldn't.

After all, he didn't mean for it to happen.

They had been arguing about breaking up before. She was determined to break up, despite his refusal to the idea. Her persistence had gotten them to where they were now. Thinking about it now made her sad.

This was probably God's punishment for her.

It served her right.

Celeste's head was on the wall as her heart bled. She wanted to cry, but no tears came out of her eyes.

In the room, Gary was mocking himself, still on the call with Yandrea. "You don't know how much I want to take my own life for this. What kind of joke is this?!"

"I understand." Yandrea agreed, "Why don't you do it now?"

"I have always been one who is loyal and hated those who cheated. But somehow unknowingly I turned into one. It's all Janice's fault for trying to scheme on me. I will be sure to show her hell."

Gary grew angrier as he spoke. He gritted his teeth and caused Yandrea to laugh as well.

"How do you plan to do so?"

"Didn't she plan to break Celeste and me apart and take Celeste's place by my side?" Gary was on the verge of exploding when he remembered how Janice even used Lowell to threaten him. "Celeste will break up with me for sure when she finds out.

I can even predict how this will all end."

"What if you guys won't break up? Aren't you a little too pessimistic? I don't think it will turn out that way." Yandrea was still optimistic about this.

"You don't know Celeste. She's a stubborn woman." Gary curled his lips. "I don't have the final say in this matter. It's up to her now."

"Then what about your promise of becoming Janice's boyfriend?" Yandrea threw another question.

Of course, this question made Gary even more furious. He yelled, "Who wants to be her boyfriend? If it weren't for Lowell, I wouldn't have said that. But I would never agree to be her boyfriend. Even if I had to, I would never treat her gently. How could she think she could make me fall for her?!"

Stunned, Yandrea smiled and said, "So this was what you had in mind. And here I thought you were serious with that deal."

"Impossible." Wearing a frown, Gary rubbed his temple. "I'm more worried about Celeste. Once she breaks up with me, I will get her settled somewhere and start my revenge on Janice."

"Assuming everything goes according to your plan... What if Celeste's not willing to forgive you at all?" Yandrea asked.
