True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2036

Celeste's eyes grew teary. Crystal droplets threatened to fall from her eyes with just a single blink.

Her ethereal yet pitiful look was enough to make any man swoon for her. As long as the other party was a man with a heart, they would definitely take Celeste into their arms and swear to love her forever.

Celeste wanted to nod. However, her head did the opposite of what her heart wished to do and instead, she shook her head.

She pursed her lips and looked at Gary. After taking a deep breath, she sighed, "Gary, I really want to say yes, but I don't think I can."

"I don't even know if I should blame you or thank you. Right now, I can truly feel your love for me, but I also feel the worst pain a woman can ever experience."

"I'm really grateful for the happiness that you have given me, but I just can't get the image of what you and Janice did out of my head." "I want to try to, but I really can't. I'm sorry." The moment Celeste finished, her tears started to fall.

Her scalding tears fell onto Gary's hands, dampening his hands as well as his heart.

He clenched his fists and his pupils violently contracted as he trembled. His eyes were filled with immense distress.

Gary said nothing and pulled Celeste into his arms.

Celeste had her face pressed up against Gary's chest as she listened to the man's rhythmic heartbeat.

His arms around her were strong and sturdy. However, he had such a tight hold on her that Celeste found it slightly difficult to breathe.

Some time passed before Gary made a move. His cold yet handsome face was emotional as he slowly closed his eyes before finally opening them again. As he did that, there was a teary glint in his eyes that spread to his long thick lashes.

However, men like him preferred shedding blood over tears, so he quickly tried to hide his tears.

Gary rested his chin onto Celeste's shoulder gently and whispered into her ear, "Alright, I won't force you. It was my fault in the first place, so I should face the music."

Celeste's nose was runny, and her arms froze while in his embrace. After a moment's hesitation, she reached out tenderly and wrapped her arms around Gary's back.

They hugged each other tightly. Two lonely souls embraced each other in the bony wind and desolate winter.

The remainder of Celeste's tears dried up.

"Don't cry, Celeste. I shouldn't have forced you to make a decision once more, I'm sorry. This is all my fault!" Gary kept apologizing.

Celeste had initially stopped crying, but because of his humble apology, her tears started to surge and pour down again.

"Stop apologizing," Celeste suddenly frowned before breaking free from Gary's embrace. She turned around and took a few steps away.

Gary's arms were suddenly empty. He felt a sense of loss and longing flashed through his eyes. He reached out and clenched his fist as he sighed bitterly.

Once again, he cast his gaze afar to watch Celeste wiping her tears from a distance away from him. Although she had her back turned, Gary knew that she was secretly wiping her tears away with the back of her hand.

Meanwhile, Celeste kept taking deep breaths.

Finally, she stopped crying.
