True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1364

Celeste looked down as her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was as red as a tomato. After a while, she nodded seriously.

Maria sat down at the edge of the bed and mumbled in a daze, "Oh my God. You... You two really did it. H-he is so fast!"

She really didn't expect Gary to be so quick.

Furthermore, she didn't expect Celeste to be so sure. They just met each other, but they already decided that they'll be together for the rest of their lives. Was that even possible?

Celeste knew that Maria was her best friend. She would not hide anything since they were that close to each other.

Although it was a little embarrassing, she still didn't hide it from Maria.

"You should keep this to yourself. I still don't know what to do about Aunt Smith. In short, I feel a little sorry," Celeste lowered her head, "But I don't want to miss out on Gary." Maria nodded. Instead, she admired Celeste very much.

"Celeste, don't worry. My aunt has suffered a lot, but she is smart and has always been good to you. Maybe she took you in as her future daughter-in-law?" Maria comforted her, "Don't worry about what my aunt will say. Did you forget that she has been helping you and Gary all this time?"

Celeste stared blankly for a moment. She was a bit hesitant and mumbled, "Did she?"

Why didn't she feel it before?

"Doesn't she always video call Gary in front of you? She's trying to create opportunities for you two with video calls."

Celeste thought for a while and nodded.

It seemed that there was a time like this.

It was true. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that Grace would video call Gary in front of her every time and then get them to call each other

That was especially true when he came to London for the first time.

Now that Celeste thought about it, she realized that if it wasn't for Grace asking her to speak to Gary after those video calls, it might have been difficult for her to get along well with him. Grace actually created opportunities for them to get along.

After that, there were a few times when she and Gary had quarreled. Gradually, they started to understand each other.

"Think about it. Didn't it occur many times?"

"Yes," Celeste nodded her head. "Now that I think about it, it seems that there really was such a thing."

"So, don't worry about my aunt," Maria was really surprised by Celeste and was excited. She continued to pry, "Hey, Gary was the one who took the initiative, wasn't he?"

With this question, Celeste's blushes that finally faded a little returned in a flash. Her entire face was once again scarlet.

She smiled awkwardly and nodded as she was too shy to look at Maria.

"Haha, I'm right! If he hadn't taken the initiative, you wouldn't have taken the initiative either," Maria couldn't help but snicker, "Your personality is like that of a lamb led to the slaughter." She had known Celeste for a long time, so of course she knew that Celeste would not make the first move.

"I'm not that slow, am I?" Celeste seemed to protest, "If I'm not willing to concede, he won't be able to do it even if he wants to." "Huh?" Maria was shocked. After listening to Celeste's explanation, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Celeste, you really shocked me. When did you suddenly become so bold?"

Celeste was also stunned and smiled embarrassedly, "No. I've always been very bold." "Naha, that's right," Maria couldn't help but laugh, "Ignore what I said. You're very brave. Others are afraid of Gary, but you like him very much."

"He's outstanding," Celeste defended Gary as if it was a matter of fact, "He's intelligent. Even if he doesn't like to interact with girls, it just shows how pure he is."

"Tsk, tsk," Maria realized that Celeste was defending Gary, so she clicked her tongue and sighed, "You really love him. In my opinion, these are all bad habits of his. To you, every trait of his seems positive." Celeste nodded seriously and continued, "It's true. A boy who is pure and wary of others will never get along well with a girl."

"That's because of his horrid personality," Maria also insisted on sticking with her own argument, "It's a personality defect." "Don't tell me that the boy you like should be friends with all the girls?"

"As long as he knows his limits, I think it shouldn't be a problem," Maria shrugged and couldn't help but chuckle, "Think about it this way. Gary doesn't really like to interact with girls, but if he suddenly had a female friend who was rather nice to him one day, what would you think?"

Celeste was stunned. For a moment, she fell into silence.

"Just look at you, I know that you never really thought about it carefully," Maria commented solemnly, "If he has a female friend, does it mean that he could place her in his heart as well? In fact, he may be treating the girl the same way as he is treating you now. Who knows? Maybe the two of you are in similar positions in his heart!"

Celeste's expression was slightly dazed. For some reason, a voice suddenly rang in her mind.

It was the voice of the girl who called him that afternoon before they got intimate.

Somehow, that voice came to her mind all of a sudden.

Looking at Celeste's silence, Maria was a little worried and tried to explain, "Of course, I just wanted to remind you that. Don't think about it too much. As you said just now, maybe your opinion is right." Celeste didn't speak. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Well, don't be absent-minded," Maria sighed heavily, "It's really amazing. Both of you are so impulsive."

Maria suddenly thought of Liam. She remembered how stubborn she had been to kiss Liam forcefully. Furthermore, she even said those mean words to him. She suddenly felt that she was too timid compared to Celeste.

"Maria," Celeste finally came back to her senses and called out to her, "It's not as if what you said is unreasonable."

"Do you also think it makes sense?" Maria was a little surprised, "What changed your mind?"

"Nothing," Celeste shook her head, "I think that no matter what happens, it's fate. I don't want to think too much about it. I just want to be brave once. If not, how will I live my life? For the sake of Gary, I don't think I'm wrong."

"It's great that you can think of it this way," Maria grinned, "You're brave. That's right, I should learn from you."

Celeste was momentarily taken aback and immediately thought of something. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to ask Maria, "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you something. Is Liam still important to you?"

Maria was stunned by Celeste's question, and there was a hint of frustration in her eyes. She smiled bitterly and pursed her lips. She didn't want to admit it, but when she thought of Liam's phone call, she eventually revealed her thoughts, "I never changed my mind about him."

Celeste was astonished. This time, she really couldn't believe it.

Only now did she realize that Maria's feelings for Liam had never changed.

That was why she chose to be in the same school as Liam.

Many things in life could be construed as hints. It was clear that Maria wanted to be together with him.

She looked at Maria and encouraged her, "Then let's be brave this time. No matter what the result is, we won't know until we try."
