Celeste felt very guilty because Aunt Grace had noticed that she had argued with Gary.
Gary didn't say a word after he came home, and he went upstairs with a gloomy face.
Anyone would be suspicious if they saw that.
Of course, Celeste also felt very helpless.
Thinking of what he said in Lawrence's villa, Celeste still felt a little sad. She had been too impulsive just now.
She shouldn't have agreed to Gary so recklessly.
They'd agreed on waiting till after New Year's, but Gary suddenly changed his mind.
That wasn't an easy decision to make.
Celeste didn't know what happened to Gary, but she figured that he must have encountered some trouble that caused him to make this decision.
He spared her no mercy as if their previous love was nothing but a mere inconvenience to his life. Men were so ruthless sometimes.
However, Celeste felt that Gary wasn't a heartless person.
He must have some secrets that he found hard to reveal.
Celeste was also very sorry that Grace could tell that they quarreled.
She didn't know what to say to Grace, so she kept her gaze down and avoided looking Grace in the eyes.
"Celeste, you need to be kinder to yourself," Grace said as she hoped that Celeste could stay strong.
"Aunt Grace, I'm doing fine," Celeste whispered. "Don't worry about me. I'm doing great. You and Uncle Heinz care about me, and Gary and the others love me. I feel very lucky and content indeed."
"Ah, you're always so sensible Celeste. I know that you're worried about me and my pregnancy, but you have to tell me if Gary bullies you, okay?"
Grace couldn't bear to see Celeste so sad. She was hiding such unbearable pain inside without telling anyone.
It must be very uncomfortable for Celeste, and Grace was worried that she would fall sick.
If she bore all her burdens alone, then she would collapse one day.
Grace was also worried that Celeste would become depressed after a while.
After all, she'd lived a tough life.
However, Celeste still shook her head with a faint smile on her face. She tried her best to make herself calm, and she looked up at Grace.
She faced Grace with a serene expression on her face. She looked very tough, but it made Grace feel even sorrier for her.
"Aunt Grace, don't worry. I'm doing fine. I told Gary that I would be seeing her tomorrow," Celeste said.
Grace understood in an instant that Celeste was talking about Cindy.
Grace was taken aback. "Have you decided on going tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Celeste nodded vigorously. "Gary also said that he would accompany me."
"Of course he should go. I'll beat him up if he doesn't." Grace supported Celeste all the way.
Celeste smiled at Grace. If she kept talking to Grace, she felt that she would break down eventually as her calm facade was cracking.
"He didn't really agree with me seeing her, but he was okay with it later." Celeste pursed her lips. "Go and rest, Aunt Grace. I'll sort my things out before I go see Cindy in the morning." "All right, head on up. Don't hesitate to tell the butler if you need anything."
"All right, Aunt Grace." Celeste quickly left Grace's room.
Grace sighed as Celeste shut the door. Celeste kept everything inside her, and she never said a word about it to anyone. Judging by how distant the two seemed when they walked inside, they hadn't solved their problems yet.
They even dared to put up an act in front of Grace.
She picked up the phone and called Heinz.
"Are you in the study now?"
"Yeah," Heinz replied to his wife's question before he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, honey?"
"Hurry back to the room, I have something to tell you." Grace did not give Heinz a chance to reply before she hung up.
After she hung up on Heinz, he was stunned for a moment before he rushed out of the study.
He saw his wife reclining on the bed after he pushed the door open. Grace seemed sad.
