True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2054

Celeste was surprised. She knew about this matter but not the whole story.

Indeed, at first, Gary had been concerned about the fact that Heinz had been married before. And to have such a man as his father hurt his pride. But more than that, he felt like it wasn't fair to his mother.

But if he hadn't called Heinz Dad nor changed his surname because of this, didn't it mean Gary hated Heinz?

Celeste had a complicated expression on her face.

Many people would've felt as Gary did.

Grace was so open-minded to be able to accept Heinz, despite knowing that he had been married. She went through so much and finally got together with him. And they even had so many children together and were living happily.

Grace must have overcome so much grasp her happiness.

But would she be able to accept what Gary had done?

Gary did not do it intentionally, so perhaps she could forgive him.

However, Celeste felt that she wasn't able to do it for now. She wanted to ask Grace how she overcame everything and let go of the past. But she did not say a word.

As if she had already seen through Celeste's thoughts, Grace smiled and said, "Are you curious why I never minded that Heinz had been married? And the fact that he kept it from me?"

Celeste was surprised. She was amazed that Grace could see through her.

She was indeed very curious because it was similar to what she was experiencing.

She wanted someone to act as her guide.

But when she came across that someone, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

She couldn't help feeling anxious.

How could she not feel surprised to have her thoughts pointed out by Grace?

Since it was brought up, Celeste nodded and said, "Yes. How did you overcome it?"

"I was bothered. Butthen, I realized I was bothered because he had lied and kept his previous marriage from me. It wasn't because he was married before," replied Grace.

Celeste's jaw dropped.

Grace continued, "It happened when I hadn't got to know him, so he wasn't in the wrong."

"It's understandable for him to have known others and had a different life before me."

"Then their relationship ended. When he got to know me, he was already out of that relationship. As for me, I never got in between them either."

"What I cared about was the fact that he never came clean about his previous marriage, making him a liar by omission."

"I thought of this matter for some time."

Celeste was stunned to hear such direct words from Grace.

She nodded and listened carefully.

Grace continued, "I even asked myself whether I loved Heinz and if I cared for him. If I did care, was it really love?"

"The answer was clear, I love him, so I should be more understanding. He was afraid that I would leave him."

"The fact that he kept it from me meant that he loves me a lot. When I thought of that, my thoughts cleared up."

"Life is short. Why not enjoy it while you can? Why linger on stuff that makes us unhappy?"

Celeste was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

"It's such a rare thing to find someone you love and who loves you back. Only then could two people grow old together. It would have been torturous to have to spend your life with no feelings for each other. As long as there's love, nothing is impossible."

"I've asked myself the same questions again and again. Do I love him? Do I want to be with him forever? Or do I want to leave and end my suffering?"

"But would leaving really end my suffering?"

"Maybe not either."

Grace was right.

Celeste had to agree that separating might not lead to happiness.

"I might be sad, but it wasn't worth separating with my lover for something like this." Grace continued as she observed Celeste.

Celeste was also stunned, her heart in turmoil.

She analyzed her words, knowing why Grace was telling her all of that.

She knew she would never be happy if she left Gary, but what should she do now?

But if she told him that she didn't mind at all, it would be lying to him.

Celeste felt that she could not do it.

She refused to be a liar. Not to Gary and not to herself.

She had no way of ignoring it as it would lead to a festering bitterness in her heart.

She envied Janice.

Very much.
