True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1533

"But how can you handle it if you don't go back?" Celeste asked anxiously, "Why don't you book a ticket back to Boston? Besides, this internship is meaningless to you. You have done very well. What difference would it make if you missed one day?"

In Celeste's point of view, his company should be the most important thing right now.

Gary could tell just how much Celeste was worried about his career.

This made him feel very warm within. She actually cared about him.

He smiled and comforted her, "Celeste, you said that I am excellent, right? Don't you believe that I can handle this matter remotely?"

Celeste was stunned. "I just think that it is really dangerous to handle such affairs from a distance."

"Celeste, you have to believe that I can handle this. If he is strong enough to cause any level of problems for me, he would never have cooperated with me in the first place. Besides, I have always considered my men carefully before I choose them. Do you understand?"

"Do you think that everything is under your control?" Celeste looked at him and thought of the events between them. He always thought that he was in control, but when she wanted to break up with him, he could not do anything about it.

Who could be certain about what was going to happen?

After hearing what Celeste had said, Gary instantly understood that Celeste had thought of the relationship issues between them.

Gary had to admit that sometimes, Celeste was able to hit the nail on the head. She was very sharp when it came to some things.

He hesitated for a moment and told Celeste with a very serious attitude, "Celeste, let me put it this way. I don't just have this one company. Besides, the companies that I am working part-time right now are for my future businesses and to find talents. I don't need to make a lot of money now."

"However, the reason for their cooperation with me is different. Some people want to make enough money for the rest of their lives in one go. They are eager for quick success. Our ideas are different, so there will definitely be conflicts, which may cause sparks and different opinions." "Either I would be the one to convince them, or they would have to convince me. But he couldn't, so he chose to threaten me and breach our contract.

"You should know we learn something new after every problem. After this wave, the debris will be washed away, and only gold will be left behind."

Celeste was shocked by his words.

She had always known that Gary was confident, but when she heard him talk about these things, she felt that Gary really did think about everything. He was also ready to accept any outcome.

After that, Celeste realized that she must have been too concerned again, and this excessive concern for him was probably something that Gary didn't need.

Celeste pursed her lips and mocked herself, "It seems that I was too silly and foolish. You didn't actually need my concern."

"No, in fact, I really do need your concern." Gary smiled faintly. "Actually, I'm glad that you care so much about my company and my career. Thank you so much, Celeste." Celeste looked down and didn't say anything else.

She just thought that she was overthinking, so she quickly said, "Since it is alright, then why did you put up such an expression?" "Expression?" Gary was stunned. He smiled and asked, "What kind of expression? Celeste, were you watching my expressions?"

Celeste was embarrassed by his questions and muttered, "You just seemed depressed. You were angry just now, weren't you? You looked so angry, but you still denied it."

Gary was stunned for a moment before he showed her a mischievous smile. "Celeste, you've misunderstood me. The reason why I'm depressed isn't because of them, but because of my health."

"What's wrong with your health? Is there anything wrong with your body?" Celeste suddenly got nervous. Her tone became very urgent, and her voice was full of worry.

Gary stared at her thoughtfully with a hint of embarrassment. "Actually, my body has never been comforted. That's why. You know that a man's body will change after abstinence. In short, if he suddenly stops eating meat, there will be a strange reaction. The man won't have any place for him to release his hormones. This will cause him to lose his temper easily."

He said these words openly.

Celeste immediately understood that he was teasing her.

She pursed her lips and felt a little annoyed. She simply turned to look out of the window and said coldly, "Come on, let's have our dinner."

Celeste completely ignored his issue. Gary smiled and started his car. He drove Celeste to a western restaurant.

They ordered some food and found a place to sit.

They finished their meal in about 40 minutes. Celeste was not immersed in the romantic setting of the restaurant. She was only eager to go back and study. Therefore, it was difficult for Gary to make their date romantic, for Celeste kept urging him, "I have to return to my studies. Hurry up and eat."

He dared not dawdle at all.

When the two of them returned to their house in Oxford, Gary realized that the house was clean.

This time, he was rather surprised. He turned to look at Celeste and asked, "Is this place often cleaned up?"

Celeste placed her bag on the sofa. This place had actually been cleaned just three days ago.

She had to go back to school every two or three days. After that, she would come back here and clean this place up for an hour.

Back then, it was because of her poor health. After she recovered, she decided to take good care of this place.

She thought she should face life with a positive attitude.

Gary watched how silent she was. After thinking for a while, he understood. "Celeste, did you clean this place up?" Celeste nodded and answered him faintly.

His eyes instantly lit up with surprise.

He thought that since Celeste would come over to clean up, it meant that she actually still cared about their home. What did it mean?

It meant that she was actually very concerned about their relationship.

But she had been neglected by him until she was scared. That was why she wanted to run away.

But in fact, Celeste also fantasized about having a future with him, right?

Of course, this could all just be part of Gary's imagination.

However, this discovery really comforted him. He felt that he was still able to have a happy future with Celeste.

For a moment, he was really happy. He quickly walked towards Celeste and looked at her.

Under his intense gaze, Celeste felt nervous. She wanted to turn around and do something else, but Gary suddenly grabbed her wrist. He stopped her.

Gary quickly held Celeste's hands tightly.

Celeste subconsciously withdrew her hands.

Gary immediately said, "Celeste, please don't reject me."

He lowered his head and looked at her. His pitch-black eyes were penetratingly sharp.

His voice also got a little hoarse. "I am really happy, y'know? Thank you. You still care about our home."

Celeste felt a little embarrassed, as if she was caught red-handed. She struggled to withdraw her hand, but she could not.

She could only keep a straight face. After a while, she said coldly, "Don't get me wrong. I have no other intentions. It is just that this place needs cleaning, and I just so happened to have the time to do so. Before you decide to sell this house, I will definitely help you clean it up regularly."

Gary's eyes froze on the spot.

His heart almost sank after hearing Celeste's cold words. But when he saw Celeste's awkward expression, he immediately understood that she was lying.

His heart was filled with joy once more. He stretched out his hands and hugged Celeste tightly. After that, he leaned over and held Celeste's arms. He forced her to look at him.

Celeste was a little nervous, but she could only look up at him.

She noticed that his eyes were focused on hers. His gaze slowly slid down her face and slowly descended down her collar.

Celeste was so nervous that she asked him in a hurry, "What are you looking at?"

Gary was not angry. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself."

As he said that, he was still holding Celeste tightly. "Give me a hug, just give me a hug for a while, okay? I just want a hug." Gary's tone was very fragile. He was actually pleading. At that moment, Celeste did not know how to refuse.

She felt greatly embarrassed.

But he held her tightly in his arms. His arms were broad, warm and firm.

Slowly, Celeste let go of her awkwardness and embarrassment. She slowly relaxed her stiff body and leaned against his chest.

She leaned against him and listened to his heartbeat. A trace of dampness slowly filled her eyes.

None of them spoke, and the silence continued.

Both of their hearts were thumping. Gary quickly lowered his head. His forehead was facing Celeste's, and the tips of their noses were touching.

In that instant, their breathing was intertwined.

All at once, Gary took a deep breath.

He wanted to reach for Celeste's lips, but she immediately noticed it and showed a little resistance.

Gary immediately whispered, "I won't kiss you. Don't move, okay?"

Celeste dared not move anymore, but she could clearly feel him exerting strength on his strong muscles to hold her in that position.

During that long period of silence, their eyes were very close to each other. His eyes were dark.

Celeste looked up at him and found that his Adam's apple was moving.

Celeste immediately understood. In truth, he had been restraining himself. He wanted to kiss her a while ago, but she resisted, so he gave up.

Since when did this insufferably arrogant boy learn to be modest and even enough to restrain himself?

At the same time, Celeste's heart was filled with inexplicable bitterness. There was also a sense of resistance coming from her bones, for she was not confident enough to be with him.

Celeste's face heated up, and she whispered for him to stop, "That's enough. Let go of me."

Gary asked in a low voice, "Celeste, are you really not going to let me kiss you?"

Celeste tensed up again and said in a low voice, "Gary, you promised me."

Gary blinked. His deep eyes were filled with great regret.

He did agree, but he could not hold it back anymore.

What was he supposed to do?
