True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2042

"I just don't quite understand why you're so sensitive." Heinz's smile was sly, shocking Gary.

His eyes flickered slightly and he said, "I think you probably didn't really want me to change my ID. If so, just tell me directly instead of being all mysterious like this."

"Of course you should change it." Heinz chuckled and replied, "Forget about what I said."

After that, Heinz went to see Lowell.

Gary stared at his father's retreating back for a long time. What did he mean by that?

Heinz seemed to be implying something from what he said.

Gary didn't know what Heinz meant, but his instincts told him that things were not looking good.

He raised his head to look upstairs, his lips pursed. He should go upstairs and be with Celeste.

Even though their hearts may not be aligned with one another's, they could still be physically close to each other.

Gary could be satisfied with that.

Gary walked to the door and pushed it open. Inside, Celeste was reading a book. Her quiet appearance made Gary's heart ache.

After he entered the room, Gary closed the door behind him.

Celeste's figure stiffened visibly, but then she turned around to look at Gary and said hello. "You're back?"

"Yup." Gary nodded.

She didn't know what to say at the moment.

Silence blanketed the room.

Celeste withdrew her gaze and looked down at the book, but her page remained unturned for a long time.

Gary noticed that Celeste seemed a little awkward, and he was startled by that. He looked at Celeste for a while before he sorted out his stuff and said, "I'm heading out today. You should rest early."

Hearing this, Celeste looked up at him and asked, "Are you going out? I mean, are you going to drive?"

"Yeah, I'm heading out to for some errands," Gary replied.

In fact, he just wanted to spare Celeste the awkwardness. Thus, he decided to avoid her for a bit.

Celeste was surprised to hear that. She took a look outside the window. "It's dark out. What are you doing at this time of night?"

Gary didn't expect Celeste to be concerned about him. A bittersweet feeling surged inside Gary's chest.

Gary smiled in reply and said, "Just taking a drive to think about things."

Celeste wet her lips for a moment before she nodded. "Alright. Be careful, okay? Don't stay out too long."

"Okay, go to bed early." Gary turned around and left.

When the door closed again, Celeste was left alone in the room.

She stayed still for a very long time.

Celeste was intuitive, and she wagered that Gary had left because he felt awkward as well.

After all, things between them were a little stiff.

Alas, she could not calm down. There were some things she just couldn't get over.

It was impossible for her to do it.

After Gary left, Celeste couldn't read another page of the book anymore as her brain refused to process any words.

She rubbed her temples and began to browse the news.

Gary drove out of his home and cruised the streets aimlessly.

The streets were still bustling in winter, and the cold did not stop people from going out.
