True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2010

Gary's eyes narrowed again, his heart stuck in his throat.

He understood the meaning of Celeste's words.

His heart had sunk and his chest was heavy, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Gary regretted everything. How could he have given Janice an opening?

Only now did he understand why Celeste had been so conflicted and why she had made such demands back then.

Those seemingly harsh demands were actually to prevent such a situation from happening.

However, he had reacted with such extreme behaviour.

Just then, Gary laughed. He had been too arrogant in the past that he was now paying the price for it.

How ironic.

He must have not been in the right mind to think that there was nothing wrong with Janice.

In fact, he even thought that Celeste was being unreasonable.

Thinking about it now made Gary regret not having the patience to coax her.

Worse, he had never thought that he was wrong and had blamed it all on her. He assumed she was just too sensitive and making a fuss out of nothing.

Was Celeste really too fussy, or was he just too arrogant to see through all this?

The answer was, of course, the latter.

Celeste looked up to meet his gaze and said calmly, "|'ve known about this ever since you went to Boston. I was worried about you, so I called Uncle Lowell, but Janice picked up."

Gary clenched his fists as his jaw tensed.

He could guess the contents of the call between Celeste and Janice since Yandrea told him about it.

Sure enough, Celeste continued, "I know everything, but I wasn't sure if she was telling the truth."

"I know she is a cunning woman. Ever since she confronted me in Scotland, I knew she had more tricks up her sleeve."

Gary's gaze immediately sharpened.

How dare Janice say so much to Celeste! To make matters worse, how could he be in the dark about this? If he had been more aware, he could have protected Celeste.

There was no doubt that he failed as a boyfriend.

Gary really regretted what he put her through.

He was vexed because it was his fault that Celeste had to suffer.

His lips curled into a self-deprecating smile as he cursed, "D*mn Janice."

"She loves you more than I do," Celeste muttered, "She's done everything just to be with you, never caring about morals or principles. I don't think I could do the same. It only means that she loves you more than I do."

"Celeste," Gary called her name, not wanting Celeste to think so lowly of herself. He tried to assure her, "She doesn't love me. Her forced ways do not mean love. It's just her being possessive and wanting to claim everything for herself. It's sickening."

Celeste smiled, but her eyes were growing misty as she shook her head, "I don't think it's only her who has some screws loose. I'm probably the same too. Despite being extremely bothered by this, I can't help but long for you."

"I want to leave you, but I just can't bring myself to do so." "Although I can't leave you, I can't bring myself to pretend that nothing has happened either. I just can't talk myself out of overthinking things or force myself to let my grudges go."

"So she's not the only one who's sickening. I am too."
