True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2032

"Alright," Gary nodded, "Since you are already prepared, there's probably nothing to worry about. I promise that I'll take care of you once we're back home."

"Thank you," said Celeste.

Gary was stunned. He wanted to laugh bitterly but stayed silent. Were they already strangers?

For her to say her thanks over such a small thing felt all too strange and unfamiliar.

The sense of unfamiliarity that lingered between them hurt. Gary couldn't help but laugh at himself as he sensed a feeling of sorrow from within.

How could he and Celeste end up like this?

Previously, he still had the guts to pester Celeste to take him back. After all, he had never done anything overboard.

None of the mistakes he made were an infringement of beliefs nor principles.

However, could he really say that now?

Celeste had already made up her mind to leave him, and even so, she didn't want his parents to worry forthem.

She was a kind girl.

She was painfully kind to an extent where Gary really thought he was a jerk and was becoming less human.

Celeste walked upstairs slowly without looking back.

Just like that, Gary watched her slender figure disappear up the stairs. She was standing tall and upright. It didn't matter how big the problem was: she never seemed to bow down to the troubles.

Gary suddenly turned around and looked out the window.

The only thing he could feel now was a prick behind his eyes while a warm sensation gushed forward.

He rubbed his eyes and lowered his head.

Just then, Ernest's voice was heard.

"Hey, didn't you say that you wanted to rest upstairs? Why are you here?"

Gary looked up and saw the figure of his younger brother, Ernest, coming down the stairs in big strides.

"What now? Can't I collect my thoughts downstairs?" Gary retorted.

"No, I'm just worried about you," Ernest felt that something was unusual and asked, "Celeste has already headed back up to the room, so why are you still here?"

Gary ignored Ernest's words and changed the topic, "We'll be returning to the Jones family house tonight. Are you and Leah heading back?"

Ernest shook his head and explained, "Leah and I won't be heading back. We'll stay longer if you guys plan on heading back. Maybe well be back before the festive season starts."

"You guys sure know how to enjoy yourselves," Even though Gary was just saying it casually, there was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

Ernest raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lowell is back, right? He can stay by mom's side and entertain her, so why are you guys heading back so soon? Isn't it nice to have a little time to yourself?"

"It'll be great if we could spend our time alone, but that's only when there's no one there to disturb us."

"That doesn't affect anything. Others need some time alone too," Ernest claimed, "Everyone needs some time off after all. Speaking of which, did you and Celeste get into an argument?"

"Why would you think so? Can't you wish for our happiness? Why would something happen between Celeste and I?"

"I initially thought so too, but your reaction seemed a little too excessive. That's why I think there's something going on between the two of you," Ernest seized up his brother with suspicion.
