True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 1416

Janice didn't say anything. She just looked at Gary with her puppy dog eyes. Those bright eyesstained with tears looked so innocent and fragile.

Whenever Celeste looked at Janice, she couldn't help but feel her heart tighten as well. A sense ofpity and empathy would arise within her.

Men probably preferred women like this more.

She looked at Ava.

With that, the two of them left silently.

Gary looked up and saw that Celeste and her friend had already reached the door. He called outsoftly, "Celeste."

Celeste turned around and looked at Gary from a distance. She flashed him a faint yet distant smile,"We'll be back soon. Don't worry, my dear brother."

She was smiling.

Her smile looked warm, but Gary felt as if she was somewhere far, far away.

It was as if she was no longer in his grip.

Gary suddenly felt that his heart was empty.

His brow creased. By the time he wanted to say something, Celeste had already left.

Ava finally asked, 'Are you alright?"

Celeste smiled, but her heart was deathly silent, "I'm fine."

"But you look very pale," Ava looked as if she knew everything, and even her smile was full of deepsympathy.

Celeste touched her face. After a while, she smiled pallidly, "I was scared. Now, seeing that she isfine, I'm relieved. There are some things that I've let go of."

"Your brother," Ava tried to hint, "I can see that the relationship between you two is not so simple."

"That's right," Celeste nodded again, "Exactly, I love him. I once thought that if I were to marrysomeone in my life, it'd be that man. No other man would enter my eyes ever again."

Ava shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "Now that you are saying such, I don't think you have thesame thought anymore."

"No, I still love him now," Celeste said with a lonely smile, "I just don't know how to be with himanymore. We've already agreed on breaking up. He will be my brother, and I will be his sister. Nomore, no less."

Ava looked at her and wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.

Celeste laughed and said softly, "It doesn't matter. Just say what you want to say. I should be muchstronger than before."

"Celeste, you deserve better," Ava said this to comfort her and to help her tie up some loose knots,"Of course, you should make your own decisions."

Celeste nodded, "I understand. Thank you, Ava. Let's go."

When they arrived at the mobile phone shop, they took out the broken mobile phone and bought asimilar one. They then requested the staff there to help them change the SIM card and transfer thecontents of the old phone into the new phone.

The moment the phone was unlocked, Celeste saw a folder on the phone containing photos.

Inside, there were many pictures of Gary and Janice. Her smile was bright and radiant in thepictures.

Affection was lingering within Gary's gaze.

Celeste felt that his gaze on Janice's face was terribly glaring.

She didn't really want to look at them anymore.

Ava also saw it. She held Celeste's hand and encouraged her, "Look, there are some things thatyou should look at clearly. It's better than escaping from reality."

With that, Celeste looked up and observed all the photos again.

Some of the pictures consisted of three people. The other was a few years older than Gary andJanice, and he was very good-looking. He was gentle and very tall.

Celeste could tell that this person was Lowell Jones.

After all, Maria had shown her a photo of Lowell before.

Now that she recalled it, it was strange. Gary had never shown her photos of Lowell before. Otherthan Gary himself, everything else she knew was from Maria and Ernest.

She felt that her relationship with Gary was a little too confidential.

It was just like a dream. Now, it was time to wake up.

Celeste looked at the photos of the three of them and found out that in every picture, Janice wastilting her head subconsciously towards Gary.

In psychology, if a person took the initiative to approach a person, it meant that they subconsciouslyaccepted that person.

Gary was tilting his head slightly in Janice's direction as well. Even though his movement was notas obvious as Janice's, it was still obvious.

Lowell, who appeared in the few photos, looked more like an outsider.

There were unlimited photos there. At an estimate, Celeste flipped through around a few hundredphotos.

She had seen all that she could see.

After paying for the phones, she packed the two phones together and went back with Ava.

Ava did not say a word.

When they reached the main hall, Celeste saw Gary and Janice sitting on the sofa in the main hall.

Gary was sitting alone on a sofa and Janice was sitting opposite him, sipping silently on something.

Celeste and Ava walked over together and handed the phones to Janice.

"That fast?" Janice looked up. When she saw Celeste and Ava, she immediately flashed a smile atthem, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Celeste smiled as well.

"How much is it? I'll pay you," Janice said.

"You don't need to pay me. It's a gift," Celeste said in a calm voice, "A welcome gift, and also anapology gift."

"But..." Janice looked at Gary with hesitation.

At that moment, Gary's gaze fell on Celeste's expression. He did not move his eyes away for eventhe slightest bit, looking particularly focused and worried.

When Celeste noticed his stares, she smiled at Gary and said, "Send Miss Simpson back to herroom. I'll go upstairs and order Miss Simpson some dinner. She'll feel much better after eatingsomething."

"Celeste," Gary was hesitant. His tone was filled with concern.

Instead, Celeste shook her head. Her smile was gentle and devoid of any emotion.

The more she treated him like that, the more unsure Gary was of what she was thinking.

He had a feeling that Celeste seemed to be drifting further and further away from him.

Celeste said to him, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me tomorrow. Miss Simpson was inshock just now, so she needs to rest well."

Her behavior was very well-mannered, making it impossible for Gary to see through Celeste'sintentions.

He had a bad feeling.

Such a feeling frightened him. He was really afraid that he'd lose Celeste since she felt more andmore distant by the second.

"Miss Simpson, enjoy your meal and have a good sleep. Everything will be better," After saying thatto her, Celeste turned around and went upstairs with Ava.

She ordered room service for Janice and Gary. The waiter sent the food straight to Janice's room.

Then, Celeste and Ava went upstairs together.

When they reached Gary's door, Ava asked, "Do you want to stay here or go back with me?"

"I don't have a room card. I can only go back with you," Celeste shrugged helplessly.

Ava sighed, "Then let's get another room for you. I think you may need somewhere to yourself for awhile."

Celeste was stunned. She smiled and nodded, "That's true. I need some silence."

Ava pointed to the room next to Gary's and explained, "Let's get this room. Just now, I rememberthat someone had checked out of the room just now. You can stay in this room for now."

Celeste knew that Ava's suggestion was constructive.

"Okay, let's get this room," She immediately found a waiter and checked in the room next door. Aftergetting the key card, she went in.

She rested in her room the entire time and did not leave.

Meanwhile, in the hall downstairs.

Gary glanced at Janice and said coldly, "I'll take you upstairs."

Seeing that his attitude was still so indifferent and distant, Janice's pupils constricted violently andnodded.

She stood up.

Gary helped her bring the phones that Celeste had bought and prepared to leave.

Janice's aggrieved voice suddenly came from behind, "I can't walk. Ca-can you hold me?"

Gary's body stiffened. He turned around and swept his pitch-black eyes over Janice. In a deepvoice, he asked, "You can't walk, can you?"

"I really can't walk anymore," Janice still looked very pitiful in her torn-up clothes. She stared atGary, waiting for him to come over and carry her.

However, Gary only glanced at her before turning to look at the front desk of the lobby. Then, hewalked over and spoke a few words to the lobby manager.

Soon, a waiter pushed a wheelchair over.

Gary thanked the waiter. He took the wheelchair and walked over, telling Janice, "Since you can'twalk, here. I'll push you."

Janice pouted and her eyes were full of astonishment. However, she still sat on the wheelchair andmuttered, "You are really full of good ideas."

Gary ignored her and pushed her upstairs.

After reaching the door of her room, Gary grunted, "Give me your room key card."
