True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1968

Gary put on an unhurried smile on his face upon seeing her guilty and embarrassed reaction.

He found her adorable for always blushing so easily.

Celeste was even more embarrassed to see him smiling at her. He then said, "Celeste, you finally recalled that. Shouldn't you make it up to me for breaking the promise?"

Celeste's body stiffened upon hearing the words "make it up to me", and her shoulders dropped.

Staring at him, Celeste pursed her lips and said with no expression, feeling as if she was being subjected to judgment, "It's up to you."

Gary's lips curled up slightly into a somehow sinister smile.

He lowered his gaze and looked at Celeste, saying slowly, "All right then, since you said so."

Celeste hesitated before forcing herself to ask, "What are you trying to do? It's still daytime and everyone's still around."

"Daytime?" Gary smirked, and that made Celeste's heart skip a beat.

"Were you thinking that I would do that to you in broad daylight?" Gary asked with a smile as his eyes roamed around her body, before fixating on her chest.

Celeste was startled. She clearly still had doubts, especially after noticing his gaze full or desires.

Was she wrong?

Wasn't Gary thinking about that?

He had always been talking about that, why wouldn't he be thinking of that as a punishment towards her then?

However, it did seem to her that she made the wrong guess.

Gary's expression seemed to tell otherwise.

Celeste's cheeks turned redder. She felt like she was the one with dirty thoughts.

However, as Gary was continuing to make fun of her, she blushed even harder.

She said in frustration, "I was overthinking then."

Gary smiled faintly as if he was calling her out for her dirty thoughts.

Celeste really couldn't bring herself to face him. She felt like she was no longer rational.

Just as Celeste was feeling extremely tortured with the embarrassment, Gary finally said something slowly.

"You didn't overthink. That was exactly what I had in mind. It's the best compensation a young, passionate and strong man like me could ever ask for."

Celeste's eyes suddenly widened as she realized he was doing that on purpose.

Was he that happy to see her blushing?

Gary laughed out loud.

"Celeste, we indeed know each other the best." Gary approached her and said in a whisper, "We are clearly on the same wavelength to be thinking of the same thing at the same time."

Celeste was dumbfounded.

What did he mean?

She wasn't thinking about it at all.

There didn't seem to be any way for her to explain herself.

Celeste felt really awkward. She was just making an assumption based on her experience, and she was actually right.

However, she wasn't thinking about doing that. She didn't even want that.

"I wasn't thinking of it. Stop the nonsense," Celeste denied strongly.

"Did you not?" Gary clearly did not believe her words. "You were the one bringing it up first, claiming that it was still daylight and all."

He kept teasing her and she couldn't stop blushing.

"I was just making a wild guess based on my experience. Didn't you admit you were really thinking of that too?" Celeste tried to defend herself.

"That's why I said we're on the same wavelength," he argued.

Celeste felt like she was making things worse the more she explained. She tried to just step away from him, as she felt like his presence was too overwhelming for her. She started to even feel breathless.

Yet, he kept approaching her so despicably despite her trying to back away from him.

"Stay away from me, and keep some distance between us. I want to talk properly." Celeste could only take another step back.

Gary caught up again and approached Celeste step by step, forcing her to retreat again and again.
