True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1395

Celeste clenched her fingers tightly, the knuckles of her slender fingers to drain of colour. She pursed her lips into a tight line. She did not want anyone to see the true emotions beneath her eyes. "Celeste, don't you think Gary is really annoying?" Janice was not sensitive enough to notice Celeste's change of emotions. She continued bombarding her with questions.

"Of course Celeste thinks I'm annoying," Gary took the chance to say, "Didn't you notice? Whenever my sister sees me, she always avoids me."

Gary's harsh behavior made Celeste very upset. She felt very tired. The overwhelming exhaustion in her surged out again, but she was no longer angry. The only feeling remaining was sorrow.

At that moment, he was flirting with another girl in front of her. It was really mean of him to treat her like this.

Celeste looked up with a clear look in her eyes and smiled, "How could you say that? Stop joking, Gary, you are not annoying. I just think that you're quite boring. It's a good thing Miss Simpson is here, as she's a really interesting person,"

Gary's eyes narrowed after hearing Celeste's words. A dangerous and deadly glint flashed in his eyes.

He never knew that Celeste would despise him so much.

In her eyes, he was a boring person.

"He's boring?" Janice laughed, "Haha, I don't think so. I think Gary is a very interesting person. Celeste, why do you think he is boring?"

Celeste lifted her gaze and looked at Janice. Janice's face was sparkling with interest.

She turned to look at Gary too. His had a faint smile on his face with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Go ahead, tell me," Gary commented and narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not behave like a gentleman, and his tone was very mean as he provoked her, "My sister, can you tell me why you find me boring?" Celeste's face turned slightly pale. Her head hurt a little. Now, both Janice and Gary wanted to know why.

Although she was feeling sad, their behaviour made her feel more and more emotional.

Celeste 's personality was unique. The more chaotic the situation, the more she could resist the pressure and keep her cool.

After a slight smile, Celeste answered calmly, "This question came so suddenly, so I can't recall anything at the moment. Why don't you tell me instead, Miss Simpson. Why do you find my brother interesting?" Gary had a serious look on his face, while his gaze was ice-cold.

Celeste was also very stubborn. She straightened her back and looked at Gary, grinning at him with a composed look on her face.

The reflection of Celeste's charming face could be seen in Gary's dark eyes. He gazed at her smile and fair skin, then realized that her gaze held no concern nor care towards him at all.

He was going mad, but he could not show it. This made him even more depressed, and he felt that the air was heavy around him.

"Normally, he likes to joke around and push people away. Also, he can cook pretty well. I often eat his cooking, and I can assure you that it's delicious. You probably don't know that your brother is a good chef right?" Janice couldn't stop praising Gary for his cooking skills, "Your brother usually makes really good Northern City cuisine. We can't get Northern City cuisine in Boston, and even if we get it in restaurants, they don't taste as good as his cooking,"

Celeste was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Janice also knew about his good cooking skills, and it looked like she had tasted his cooking more than once.

"I never knew," Celeste smiled and looked at Gary. She continued to speak in a sarcastic tone, "I didn't know my brother had such amazing cooking skills. I thought he only knew how to fry eggs or ham. It's such a pity, I've never tasted the Northern City cuisine made by him before, so I can't evaluate his skills."

"It's okay. When we get back to London, you can have Gary prove his skills at home," Janice suggested, "After all, we are going back to London soon anyways."

Celeste smiled, "Sure. If I have the time, that would be nice."

As she spoke, she looked at Gary. Her eyes were clear and sparkly. The brighter her gaze was, the more irritated Gary felt.

Every word she said was like a slap on his face. He felt uncomfortable and upset.

"Of course that would be nice," Janice agreed, "Gary, what do you say?"

Gary's eyes met Celeste's, and his thin lips curled up into a smile, "Since my sister wants to try my cooking so much, when we go back to London, I'll cook for you. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Gary," Celeste answered swiftly, "I hope I have the honour to try your food."

Gary's deep and serene eyes were filled with a tornado of emotions. After a while, he finally chuckled, "Of course, it is a brother's job to cook for his sister."

Celeste's eyelids twitched for a moment. However, she just kept quiet.

"Celeste, why do you think that your brother is boring? Tell me," It seemed like Janice insisted on knowing.

Celeste took another look at Gary and said to Janice, "For example, the interesting things that Miss Simpson mentioned feel very boring to me. After all, I have never experienced them before. So I'm sorry, I can't think of anything specific."

Janice froze for a moment. She felt that Celeste's tone sounded a little bit annoyed.

She blinked her eyes and looked at Celeste. She asked Celeste suddenly, "Celeste, are you feeling a little bit jealous?"

"That's right, I'm jealous," Celeste answered naturally.

Gary's eyes widened.

Celeste met his gaze and said slowly, "The time

I've spent with my brother is very short and limited. I can count the number of times we have met each other using all ten of my fingers. Compared to Miss Simpson, I am nothing."

"Wait. Your brother has been in America for four years, but you didn't go pay him a visit either," Janice was also shocked.

"He didn't allow me too," Celeste spoke frankly, "Gary always makes his own decisions. He is used to ordering other people around and being superior to others. So, I've never been to the United States." "Well, the next time you go to Boston, look for me. Don't look for him," Janice said with a sense of obligation, "If you come to the United States, I'll welcome you instead."

"Thank you. I think I'll go to the United States in the future," Celeste expressed her own stance naturally.

In the past, she would have taken care of Gary's feelings.

Now that she thought about it, she felt that she was being ridiculous.

If someone liked her, why would he refuse to see her for four years?

Over the past four years, they were not really far away from each other. However, he would not visit her, and he would not allow her to come find him either. In other words, he did not love her at all. Celeste was just too naive. She had held onto inexplicable hope in the past for their relationship.

Now that everything was over, there was no need to take care of Gary's feelings anymore.

In the future, she would travel to more places when she had the time. She wanted to experience more things in life, and that would be a real blessing for her.

When she thought about things this way, Celeste smiled. That smile was vibrant and full of relief, as if she had finally let go of everything.

Gary looked at her with uncertainty in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Janice nudged Gary's arm with her elbow and looked at him seemingly affectionately.

Just like that, Gary came back to his senses. He tilted his head to look at Janice and frowned.

"As a brother, you are quite mean," Janice criticized him, "Why didn't you let Celeste visit you in the United States?"

Gary chuckled, "In the past, she chose to study with Ernest in London. This was her choice. Since she likes London so much, she shouldn't come to

the United States."

Celeste's breathing became heavy. She could tell from his tone of voice that he was blaming her, and he was still holding a grudge against her.

She just laughed, "Gary, it seems like you have forgotten some details. That year, I suggested that the three of us should study abroad together, but you did not allow Ernest to study in the United States. I guess now I know that you were just worried we'd spoil your plans."

There was a hint of mockery in Celeste's tone, causing Gary's pupils to contract violently.

He gulped, and goosebumps started to form on the creases between his eyebrows. He looked at Celeste with a livid expression on his face.

Celeste looked at him too, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She seemed afraid but somewhat brave at the same time.

She had a mocking look in her eyes, as if she had seen through everything.

She wanted to let him know that she understood it all. There was no need for him to hide anything anymore.

She finally saw his true colours.

However, whenever she looked at Janice and him sitting together like a beautiful couple, she still felt tears welling up in her eyes. Her chest still felt

heavy.

"Really?" Janice was a little confused and asked, "Gary, why didn't you let your sister and brother go to America?"

Gary's face was calm as he scoffed, "Let's stop talking about nonsense. Don't you guys want to eat? Aren't you guys hungry?"

"Yes, I'm hungry. Let's order some food," Janice could detect the tense atmosphere and immediately changed the topic.

"I'm indeed hungry. I would like one serving of smoked salmon and mutton. Also, give us one serving of haggis, an entree, and some dessert," Celeste ordered.

Janice was surprised and gasped, "Celeste, these sound like famous delicacies from Edinburgh. So you do know a lot about the food here!"

"Is that so?" Celeste only smirked, "I know quite a lot about Edinburgh, but not as much as you know my brother."
