True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2016

Gary lowered his head and ate. He ate his food one bite at a time, but he could not enjoy the taste of the food at all. He was only eating to survive.

Celeste could not bear to see him eat so mindlessly. She wanted to speak, but the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat and she could not force herself to say anything.

She felt a little tired too, she did not know what to do.

She was just relieved that he was eating properly.

The two of them finished eating in silence, and Gary sent Celeste to their room to rest.

When Celeste was back, she started to read. Gary seemed to be doing something on his computer. The two of them were busy with their own business. Ever since Gary returned to the room, he never spoke. He was fully occupied on his computer, seemingly extremely busy with personal affairs.

Celeste did not disturb him either. As she read, she would occasionally raise her head to look up at Gary.

On the other hand, Gary was staring at his computer attentively. Soon, Celeste realized that over an hour had passed, but Gary never looked up at her for even once. His long slender fingers never even stopped typing on the keyboard, and his movements were extremely fast.

She thought that he was probably immersed completely in his work.

Celeste did not disturb him nor did she make any noise. She feared that she would disturb Gary's work.

However, she did not expect three more hours to pass just like that.

Celeste was afraid of disturbing Gary, so she did not move. However, she was a little thirsty, and she wanted to pour herself some water to drink.

She looked towards Gary a few times, but he never even looked up. His handsome brows were bunched in a knot.

It seemed like the situation on his side was not so optimistic.

She pursed her lips. She hesitated for a moment before she stood up and gently walked out of the room.

Gary still did not move. It was as if he was completely immersed in his own world.

Celeste poured two cups of water, one for herself and the other for Gary.

When she returned to the room, Gary was still looking at the computer. He seemed busier than before.

Celeste held the water in her hand. She thought that it was inappropriate for her to disturb Gary at this moment. Hence, she put down the water and took a sip out of her cup before sitting down.

It was true that a man looked the best when he was serious.

Gary was staring at his computer expressionlessly. He looked really handsome. The wrinkles between his eyebrows when he frowned added so much more charm to him.

In the end, Gary was almost done with his work. He let out a long sigh of relief and continued typing on his keyboard for a few more times before he finally decided to look up.

Almost instantly, his gaze met with Celeste's. Right after he looked at her, he got up and walked towards Celeste.

She was stunned. She hurriedly picked up the glass of water she placed beside her and gave it to him.

This was not Gary's original purpose. When he saw the cup of water in Celeste's hands, he was a little stunned. He reached out and accepted the water, then drank it in one gulp.

After he put down the cup, his eyes were still as deep as ever. He locked his gaze on Celeste's eyes, and a charming glimmer could be seen in his eyes.

After that, he squatted down in front of Celeste so that their gazes were at equal level.

Celeste could only smile awkwardly. Suddenly, Gary startled her by suddenly inching closer towards her. His handsome face was already completely in front of hers, and they were so close that they could feel each other's breaths.

Her heart was beating wildly as the two of them stared at each other. The affection in their eyes was so deep and full.

His nose was almost touching hers. They could feel each other's breaths at such a close distance.

Celeste suddenly looked away as she felt a little embarrassed.

However, Gary held up her chin and muttered, "Celeste, if I had never betrayed you... If I had never touched Janice at all, would you not mind that much?"

Celeste's heart tightened. She looked towards him with a hint of doubt in her eyes as she asked hopefully, "Have you discovered anything?"

"No," Gary shook his head.

The light in Celeste's eyes suddenly dimmed. If he could not find out the truth, didn't that mean they could not be in a relationship anymore?

Gary saw the passing emotions in Celeste's eyes and quickly added, "It's just that my mind is getting clearer and clearer. I have a feeling that what happened that day was different from how she described it."
