True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2033

Gary paused for a moment before squinting his eyes at Celeste. After a long while, he finally decided to mutter, "I understand you're mad at me, but you don't need to take it out on the fruits."

Celeste was stunned. She gasped, halfembarrassed, "That's not what I meant. I'm just not hungry."

"It's been several hours since we have returned from the beach, and you haven't touched any food since we came back. I would believe you if you were made out of steel," Gary was adamant.

Celeste frowned, "How do you know I didn't eat anything? I ate a bit when I was downstairs just now."

"You were only downstairs for five minutes before Lowell came upstairs. What could you possibly eat in five minutes? Furthermore, Lowell even talked to you before coming upstairs."

"Judging by my understanding of Lowell, he probably spoke a bit with you, am I right? In the midst of it, he most likely also wasted some time hesitating and stumbling over his words, right?"

Celeste could only sigh helplessly, which was a rare sight to see.

Gary's keen observation skills were as sharp as ever.

Celeste could only chuckle dryly, "Fine, you got me. I just have no appetite, okay?"

"I'm afraid that it's not possible if you don't eat," Gary said as he gestured at the plate again. It meant that he probably wouldn't give up until Celeste finally took a bite.

Celeste heaved heavily, "Why are you forcing me to eat?"

"Oh fine, I won't force you, but since you've gotten thinner and you're not eating, you will need to expect my mom advising you to eat more. Just think about it: do you want to eat now and look a bit healthier, or do you want to head back and have my mom force feed you?" Gary had no choice but to use his mother as an excuse.

Celeste was stunned, but as a result, she reached out and finally accepted the plate of fruits. After sitting herself down, she started nibbling on the fruits silently.

Gary finally burst into a wider smile since he felt relieved to see Celeste eat.

Fortunately, Celeste wasn't immensely stubborn. Otherwise, he would've run out of patience and would probably end up doing something he'd regret.

As he watched Celeste eat the fruits in silence, he felt much relieved.

However, Celeste really didn't have much appetite and put the plate down after taking a few bites.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Gary staring at her. The look in his eyes was deep and focused but he said nothing at all. He just kept staring at her.

Celeste's heart tightened. Just as she was about to shift her gaze away, Gary spoke.

"No matter what happens, you need to take care of your health. Eat up and rest well. It's not worth risking your own health over someone like me."

Celeste was stunned as she heard those words, a pain immediately flashing in her eyes.

She was devastated to see Gary look so upset and downcast.

Just when Celeste was about to say something, Gary had already turned to leave. All that was left in her sight was his tall and firm silhouette which seemed rather lonely and desolate.

Celeste was distressed.

Was he giving up on himself?

Celeste felt like that was really the case. If Gary chose to give up on himself because of her decision, she would be terribly disappointed in herself.

However, she had no choice. Whenever she closed her eyes, the contents of the video would instantly come to mind. The very thought of it made her heart ache and her lungs tighten.

She just could not turn a blind eye to this.

After taking a deep breath, Celeste went to the bathroom and took a shower. She changed into some fresh clothes and dried her hair.

She wanted to look clean and freshened up so no one would guess that they had broken up.

She had to look energetic in order to make sure Grace wouldn't feel worried or anxious upon meeting.
