True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2015

His words were unpleasant and any woman would find them humiliating.

However, it wasn't the same for Janice.

She only snickered, "Of course you're saying this in front of Celeste. You've done everything, you've impregnated me and I even had a miscarriage. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to try to shake this off?"

Gary was filled with anger.

He knew how vicious she could be, and this time, he had seen it for himself.

Not only did she cross the line, she was also still trying to stick by his side.

Gary did not forget that Janice mentioned that she still had something up her sleeve. He still couldn't figure out what that was, but he knew he had to act fast before she could make use of it.

He snorted, "You can never break us apart."

"Gary, I'm afraid it's just your wishful thinking. Celeste is a sensitive person and I'm sure she is already shaken up after this," Janice refuted.

Janice knew that she was at a loss as Gary had already gone back on his words.

She didn't even think she had a chance in this. However, she was still willing to risk it all to score a chance.

She refused to believe that Gary was not somehow forced into breaking his promise.

Gary turned around to look at Celeste. He was worried.

It was a quick glance but he was still terrified at what he saw.

Celeste's face was devoid of colour and she had a weak smile hanging on her face. The emotions in her gaze were complicated.

He knew for a fact that Celeste had indeed wavered.

Janice's words hit the nail on the head. Gary fell silent.

"Celeste must have been shaken up about this. Gary, you can see for yourself that she isn't the bigger person in this," Janice paused for a moment and there was no response from Gary. She then smiled, "I'm afraid I'm your perfect match."

"You aren't qualified to be," Gary retorted.

"It's not up to you to decide on that," Janice sounded even prouder of herself, "Let's just wait and see. Gary, keep in mind that you're the one who made things difficult for us. If you don't come back and be with me two months later, don't blame me for whatever happens next."

Gary frowned, "Janice, I'd like to see what you're capable of."

"Celeste, once again, I'll advise you to leave Gary immediately so that you can preserve your last shred of dignity," Janice snickered, "That's all I want to say. I'll leave it to you to decide when you should end things with him."

"We won't break up. You can just forget about it," Gary said as his expression darkened.

On the other hand, Celeste didn't say anything.

The call was immediately hung up by Janice.

Gary's eyebrows furrowed tightly and his eyes sank. He put away the phone and looked at Celeste. He was worried about her.

He was afraid that she would be affected by Janice's words.

Gary's heart sank upon noticing her silence and pale face. He felt that he had to solve this as soon as possible.

"Celeste?" He called out with concern.

Celeste shook her head and muttered, "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. Just try to investigate further on this."

Gary hesitated for a moment before fixing his gaze on Celeste. There was no other emotion brimming in his eyes other than the fact that he was concerned about Celeste. He pursed his lips and said, "Sure, let me make a phone call."

"Okay," Celeste nodded.

They went to the dining hall together.

Celeste was quiet all the way.

After sitting down from across each other, a hearty meal was served on the table.

Celeste ate in silence. She was expressionless although it was visible that she was in deep thought.

Gary was annoyed. He picked up his phone and called Yandrea in front of Celeste.

"Get the surveillance records of the bar where I drank that night," Gary requested.

Yandrea laughed, "Why are you asking for it now?"

"Just look for it. It has been months, so I'm not sure if they still keep the records with them," Gary said.

"Do you still need me to go there myself? You can just hack into their system," Yandrea said.

Gary gritted his teeth, "You do what you can, and I'll do what I can."

Yandrea burst into laughter again, "I see. You are being careful because you don't want anyone to be messing with the records, am I right?"
