True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1387

Gary froze. He never really wanted to force Celeste to do anything in the first place. He just wanted to express his emotions towards her.

They had been sleeping together for a long time, and he had already gotten used to the warm feeling of them leaning against each other.

But what Celeste said made him feel turned off in an instant.

"Do you think that whenever I hug you, it means that I want to do it?" Gary felt a little suffocated as he retorted.

Celeste still remained calm as usual. She asked faintly, "Isn't that so?"

Gary was left speechless after hearing that

He felt a little bit confused.

He never knew that this was how Celeste had thought of him.

"Then let's not do it," Gary said gloomily, "I can still hug you to sleep, right?"

"I'm tired."

Her sentence stopped him in his tracks once

more.

Gary felt quite upset. His hands stiffened and he stopped reaching out for Celeste.

Celeste didn't turn around either. She laid quietly on her side and did not intend to turn around to look at him at all.

She had her back turned towards him all the time. It was obvious that she did not feel like talking and was ignoring him.

The absolute silence felt very irritating.

Gary couldn't fall asleep at all. The girl he loved the most was lying next to him. He was only twenty years old. As a hot-blooded youth full of passion, how could he possibly fall asleep?

Furthermore, they were not completely on good terms at the moment, so he felt a little bit uncomfortable.

Celeste continued to ignore him.

Gary tossed and turned around many times, but he could not fall asleep.

Eventually, he finally sat up and climbed out of bed.

He stood on the floor and looked down at Celeste, observing her slender figure on the bed.

With her back to him, he could not see her facial expressions at all. She was as still as a stone, as

if she had really fallen asleep.

She was wearing the most conservative pajamas, which covered her up from head to toe.

Celeste was avoiding him.

Gary was really uncomfortable. She was clearly angry and still didn't believe in him. To her, he was probably no better than a b*stard.

He wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, he couldn't find the courage to say anything. He turned around and went to the bathroom instead, and saw that there were dirty clothes piled up in the laundry basket.

Under normal circumstances, Celeste would have already cleaned and washed the clothes for him.

But this time, she did not touch them at all.

He looked at the basket of dirty clothes and picked them up. Then, he left the room and went to the room next door to throw those dirty clothes into the washing machine. He decided to wash them overnight.

Standing in front of the washing machine, he stared at all the shiny functional buttons on the panel. His head was hanging, and a look of desolation was splattered across his face. In fact, he looked like a kid who had done something wrong.

Although Gary felt really upset, once he thought of Celeste who was so determined to avoid him, he felt extremely discouraged. He really wanted to stay close to her.

He took a deep breath with determination, turned back and walked to the bedroom as if he had made up his mind. Then, he went towards Celeste and lowered his head to look at her.

She was not asleep, and her eyes were wide open. However, her opened eyes were empty and hollow, devoid of any emotions.

That very instant, a wave of pain washed across Gary's heart. It was as if someone had grabbed him by the heart and his lungs, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

He never knew that his girl was hurting so bad.

It was all his fault.

He squatted down in front of Celeste and laid on the edge of the bed, staring into her eyes.

Yet, Celeste chose to turn around and faced the other side of the bed. She refused to look at him and continued to avoid him.

Gary's handsome brows furrowed. He could no longer stand seeing her giving him the cold shoulder. With that, he got up and turned Celeste over to face him with a swift motion.

His grip was a little too strong. He sat on the edge of the bed and clutched Celeste's shoulders, preventing her from moving or turning away.

It hurt when he grabbed her shoulder. Celeste had no choice but to look up at him, coldness still tainting in her eyes.

Gary pursed his lips bitterly and said with a tone filled with regret, "I'm sorry, Celeste. I apologize."

Celeste did not speak.
