True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 1671

Celeste looked up into Gary's eyes and saw the absolute sincerity in them. She pursed her lips astears welled up in her eyes.

"Thank you," She said.

Gary pulled her into his embrace and the two of them lay down. He whispered in Celeste's ear,"Don't think about it okay? Just sleep."

"I can't sleep," Celeste's mind was in a mess.

"Are you going to think about it all the time?" Gary asked softly.

"My thoughts are all jumbled up, and I'm afraid," Celeste muttered.

"Are you afraid that Sinclair will come and see you all of a sudden?" Gary asked.

Celeste nodded.

"It's fine. I'm sure that day will come, and we have to face it even though we're afraid," Other thanCeleste leaving him, Gary was afraid of nothing else.

In fact, he was looking forward to Sinclair's appearance.

When the time came, he would humiliate that shameless old man.

However, he wondered if he should tell Grace and Heinz about Celeste's true origin.

It would be better for him to tell them so they were mentally prepared rather than letting the news bea surprise to them.

"Let's leave it for later. It's still in the middle of the day back home, so I'll call Heinz and mom to warnthem."

"No. Don't tell Aunt Smith and Uncle Jones," Celeste shook her head.

"Silly girl, if we don't tell them, the news outlets will," Gary replied.

Celeste was rendered speechless as she looked over at Gary. She was hesitant, "Will the reportersfind out?"

"Do you think Sinclair would give up on you so easily? How could he give up such a goodbargaining chip? Once news breaks of you being his daughter, all his scandals will beovershadowed."

"Although scandals are very popular, society is quick to forget. If he leaks the news that you're mygirlfriend and his daughter to the press, he could get some positive coverage. Up until this point,Heinz still has a lot of influence in Northern City, so I think we should tell mom and Heinz," Garyexplained his concerns.

"I'm afraid they'll look down on me," Celeste was still young - barely 21 - so she was worried aboutplenty of things.

"Don't be afraid. They're not that kind of people. My maternal grandmother is far more despicablethan Sinclair," Gary tried his best to comfort Celeste, "Mom's been through a lot, and she won't takethings at face value. She knows the difference between you and Sinclair."

Nevertheless, Celeste was still very hesitant.

Gary comforted her once more before picking up his phone to call his mother.

Grace was very surprised to receive her son's call, "It must be the wee hours of the morning overthere. Is there an emergency?"

"Mommy," Gary's tone was calm as he started, "There's something I need to tell you."

Celeste tensed up, and she looked at Gary with huge amounts of worry brewing in her eyes.

Gary gave her a comforting look and reached out to take her hand.

"What's the matter?" Grace asked.

"Okay, it's about Celeste's family background. We managed to find out that she's actually Sinclair

Stone's daughter," Gary said.

"Okay, so?" Grace's tone was as calm as stagnant water.

Both Gary and Celeste were stunned.

"Mom, don't you find it strange? Aren't you even a little bit shocked?" Gary asked.

"So what if she's Sinclair's daughter? To me, Celeste is my daughter and your girlfriend. She's goingto be my daughter- in- law, so it doesn't matter whose daughter she is," Grace was a veryexperienced woman, and she dealt with things very calmly.

Celeste was astonished.

Meanwhile, Gary shot Celeste a reassuring look.

Celeste felt relieved instantly.

"Actually, your father looked into Celeste's background long ago, and we knew she was Sinclair'sdaughter already. We know about what he did, and we also know that her birth mother is YannieMiller, Cindy White's childhood best friend. We hesitated on whether we should tell you this," Gracedecided to tell Gary now that he knew the truth.

"Mom, when did you guys find out?" Gary asked.

"Nearly four years ago," Grace replied.

"Four years, and yet you tell us now?"

"Mhmm, I would have never told you if you didn't say anything. I know you find it odd that I neverever told you guys about it although I knew," Grace replied.

"I do find it incredibly strange," Gary muttered.

"This is because Sinclair has a wife, and he doesn't even know Celeste exists. Celeste's birthmother is dead, and your father and I decided not to bring up the past in order to not bother her.This was a selfish desire on our part as we only want Celeste to be happy. Everything else does notmatter."

Grace's words touched Celeste's heart and she felt very warm.novelbin

There was a fuzzy feeling in her chest.

"Yeah, I don't think it's important either. Celeste is Celeste, and that's enough for me. It doesn'tmatter whose daughter she is," Gary replied.

"That's right, Gary. You're my son and the eldest son of the Jones family. I raised you all on my ownuntil you were five. You're a man, and you don't have to rely on your in-law's family. If Celeste isworried we will be bothered about her true origins, tell her not to be. Also, tell Celeste that Heinz

and I aren't that shallow. I'm displeased to hear that she thinks so lowly of us." "Aunt Smith, I'msorry," Celeste sobbed as she apologized.

Grace immediately laughed as soon as she heard Celeste speak, "Silly girl, I knew you would beworried about this. Are you afraid that Sinclair's scandals will affect the Jones family?"

"Well, I don't plan on acknowledging him at all. I don't want anything to have to do with him,"Celeste spoke her mind immediately.

"Celeste, that's all up to you. It's your choice, and we won't interfere with that. However, we willalways support you no matter what you choose. Rest assured of that," Grace reassured Celestefirmly.

"Thank you, Aunt Smith," Celeste thanked her sincerely.

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Grace's tone was comforting as she chuckled, "Though, whendid you guys find out? Does Sinclair know that Celeste is his daughter?"

Gary replied, "He knows. It's a long story, mom, but I'm worried he'll leak this to the press and usethis as leverage with the Jones family. He wants to rise to power again."

"He wants to use Celeste?" Grace asked.

"Yup, that's right."

"Was he happy to know that he is Celeste's father?"

"He was ecstatic."

Sinclair was happy even though Michael had just forced himself on Sinclair.

"What I'm asking is, is he happy he's a father? I don't want to know if he's happy because she's yourgirlfriend," Grace corrected herself.

"He should be," Gary recalled Sinclair's eagerness to see Celeste's photos. He didn't seem to befaking it. With that, Gary admitted, "To be fair, I think he's really happy to have Celeste as hisdaughter."

"Okay, fine. Either way, Celeste has the final say over whether or not she wants to acknowledgeSinclair as her father. As for Sinclair trying to use the Jones family to his advantage, Heinz will dealwith it. If he can't, that's all on Heinz. If everything goes well, then it will all be okay. Just make sureto sleep well and eat well. Celeste, make sure to not worry so much. It's bad for your health."

"I got it, Aunt Smith. I know what to do," Celeste's heart was very warm.

"That's a good girl. Go and get some rest, okay?" Grace reminded Celeste.

"All right mom, we'll hang up now," Gary quickly hung up the phone.

He looked at Celeste and asked, "Are you happier after that phone call?"

Celeste nodded and said, "I think I worry too much. Your mom is right. I should just go with the flow.C'mon Gary, let's go to bed."

"Are we going to sleep, or are you implying something else?" Gary teased.

Celeste was surprised and she felt a little embarrassed. She tried to laugh it off,"Aren't you tired?"

Gary replied, "I'm not. I'm actually quite turned on. Looking at the four of them getting it on, it'sactually quite exciting despite the fact that it's so shameless. You know how I am."
