True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1433

The next day after they arrived at Oxford, the butler, Pedro, called and told Gary, "Young Master Gary, Miss Janice is back."

Being woken up by the phone call early in the morning, Gary was in a very bad mood. "Get her to pack up and fly back to Boston." "But is this appropriate?" Pedro felt rather bad. "After all, she's a girl. It's not right to drive her away."

Gary snorted softly, finding Pedro interesting. "Seems like you haven't understood something."

"Young Master Gary, don't be mad at me." Pedro was shocked.

"Make sure Janice leaves." Gary was resolute. "Also, Celeste is my girlfriend. Didn't my mom tell you?"

"What?" Pedro was taken aback once again. "Madam didn't say that. She only said Miss Simpson wasn't your girlfriend."

"Well, now you know," Gary replied.

"I do. I'll ask Miss Simpson to leave right now,"

Pedro hurriedly said.

Gary figured Janice might not leave so easily, so he said, "If she doesn't want to leave, ask the driver to send her to a hotel."

"Got it."

Pedro understood that he shouldn't have assumed things so easily after Gary issued his instructions.

"I'll make the arrangements."

Gary saw that Celeste was staring at him after he hung up the phone. He immediately smiled in greeting."Are you awake?"

Celeste nodded; a bright smile appeared on the corner of her cherry-red lips. "I was woken up by your phone call. It's time to get up anyway."

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Gary smiled as well. "Good. Looks like you're in a good mood."

"You too." Listening to the conversation on the phone, Celeste knew Gary had taken her feelings into account, and he made Janice leave. She was indeed very glad about that.

In addition, it was good news that Janice had returned safely to London.

Meanwhile, in London.

Upon receiving Gary's instructions, Pedro immediately shifted his attitude and said to

Janice, "Miss Simpson, why don't I help you pack your things."

"Pack up my things?" Janice asked in surprise. "Mr. Butler, I haven't decided to leave yet."

"Oh, really?" He smiled and said, "Then, you can stay in a hotel first. There are many hotels in London, and Mr. Smith isn't at home. He didn't say to welcome you either, so we can't make any arrangements without further instructions."

Janice frowned slightly. "Didn't you call Gary?"

"Miss Simpson, he asked you to stay in a hotel." Seeing Janice didn't want to leave, in addition to her previous attitude, Pedro felt that she was interested in Young Master Gary, but he never clarified. Now that he'd announced Celeste was his girlfriend, he had to do something for her.

"I see. Okay, I get it." Janice was stunned for a moment after hearing that, and she replied to him in a wry tone. "I'll pack up and leave immediately. Sorry to bother you."

She did not make a fuss and left with her things very quickly.

"I'll ask the driver to take you there," Pedro said to her.

"There's no need for that." Janice shook her head and said, "I can leave by myself. Thank you for your hospitality."

After that, she left with her suitcase.

After leaving the villa, Janice went to the airport to catch a flight back to the United States.

When she was about to board the plane, she sent a message to Gary. "I'll be boarding the plane to Boston in five minutes. Thank you for your help. I'll return the money to you after you're back. Thank you for taking care of me, and please say hi to your girlfriend for me."

Gary checked his watch after he received the text. It was already in the afternoon.

Then, he replied with an okay.

After that, he spent a few moments in deep thought.

When Celeste walked over to him, she noticed he was in a daze. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? Do you have something on your mind?"

Gary immediately returned to his senses and shook his head. "Nope."

"Really?" Celeste shrugged. He looked to be bothered by something.

"Oh, Janice sent me a message saying she's gone back to Boston." Gary showed it to her.

Celeste took a look at it and saw the perfunctory reply he sent back.

Then, she nodded in satisfaction.

She should have been happy that Janice left. However, for some reason, she had an indescribable feeling.

Janice's words echoed in her mind, and Celeste felt rather upset. No matter how, she didn't seem like a person who would give up so easily.

As soon as she lowered her gaze, Gary snaked his arm around her waist. In a gentle and doting voice, he asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"No." Celeste shook her head.

"Hey, cheer up. You should be happy that demon has left." Gary smiled and gently hugged her.

Celeste nodded and lowered her gaze, not allowing Gary to notice the flash of sorrow and worry in her eyes.

She was still distressed, but she was confident there would be a solution to this.

With that in mind, Celeste calmed down soon after.

Meanwhile, back home.

Maria managed to sign the contract and bought the rights with Leah and Ernest's help.

Moreover, She had become friends with Leah.

Ernest also arranged for her family to be hospitalized.

Maria's family had returned home as well, but she hadn't had a chance to catch up with them as she'd been too busy researching.

Zachary realized that his daughter seemed to be very busy, and he wanted to ask her about it a few times. However, he decided to just observe her in the end.

Finally, after five days of observation, he found the right time to go into Maria's room and ask her.

"Maria, what have you been up to lately?"

"Dad." Maria was sorting out documents when she heard her father's voice. She raised her head and looked at Zachary.

She was already 20, yet her father only seemed to get more dashing with age. Honestly, he aged like fine wine, and Maria had to admit that her mother's taste in men was superb.

"What are you reading about?" Zachary came over and glanced at the computer. He was surprised to find that she was looking at information about public relations courses. "Are you looking to study public relations?"

"Yes." Maria immediately smiled and felt a little embarrassed. "I'm seriously considering it; I'm not messing around."

"I know." Zachary burst into laughter. "I didn't say you were, but I'm surprised that you're so serious about it. Don't you want to take a break?"

"I did." She smiled and said, "I do leave the house. Public relations is just a recent development."

"Can you tell me why you want to study this?"

"It's useful." Maria looked at her father, and she could tell that he was worried from his gaze.

She was astonished and quickly comforted her father. "Dad, are you worried about me? It's okay; I know what I'm doing."

"What are you going to do after you graduate?" Zachary sat down opposite his daughter and chatted about her current situation.

"Will you be mad if I tell you?" Maria looked at her father tentatively.

Hearing this, Zachary instantly frowned.

"Dad, don't jump to conclusions." Maria said with a smile, "It's not like I won't get a proper job. I know what I'm doing. It's just that it may not be what you want me to do." Although Zachary still had a frown on his face, he calmed down a little. He looked at his daughter kindly and said, "Let's see what it is first."

"It's like this. After I graduate, I want to be a manager and enter the entertainment business," Maria said.

"Show business?" Zachary frowned once again.

"You don't want to work at our company?"

"Dad, I want to start my own business," Maria said, "I want to work in the industry I like. Second, starting my own business gives me a sense of achievement."

"But, what about our family business?"

"You and mommy are still young. Besides, there's always my brother. If you don't think he can manage it, or that you don't trust outsiders, then just have another kid with mom. I have no objections to that. My real dream is to start an entertainment company," Maria replied.

Zachary frowned at his daughter as he was still worried. "Maria, did you study at the University of London just to pursue your idol?"

Dumbfounded, Maria laughed and said. "Dad, why would you ask me such a question? What do my studies have to do with me pursuing my idol?"
