True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 2183

Smiling, Gary held Celeste's hand as they continued walking forward.

"So you still think Mr. Trevino is more suitable for Sylvia, huh?"

Celeste nodded. "Yes, you think so too, don't you?" "So, does that mean you're following your man's choices now?" He turned to look at Celeste with a tender smile.

She blushed. "C'mon, how can you make fun of me?"

"You look so pretty when you blush." He sincerely thought it felt amazing to regain his love.

Her head lowered, Celeste felt even more self-conscious now at his words, not daring to look at him anymore.

She didn't ask him about Janice or how he settled the matter. They had never talked about her since that last discussion, so she didn't know if Janice was still in Northern City or had returned to Boston.

Chigo had already left when they returned from their stroll.

Sebastian was nowhere to be seen too, probably with Chigo.

Later, Gary brought Celeste to visit his greatgrandfather. Delighted to meet Celeste, William gave her a big gift.

The two of them accompanied him for lunch happily.

In the blink of an eye, nine days passed. Lowell decided to go back to Boston. When he brought it up, Gary added, "Celeste and I should go back too; we should take the same flight."

"The three of us?" Lowell thought he was just going to be an awkward third wheel.

Though hesitant, he still decided it would be better if he flew solo.

"Yeah," Gary said.

"I don't want to be a third wheel," Lowell mumbled.

Gary may have looked indifferent on the outside, but he knew Lowell had been hiding from him lately.

Although Lowell was happy every time he saw the couple together, he'd leave right after a quick greeting as if he was avoiding them.

Gary had a good idea why he'd do so as he had been feeling guilty about being the indirect cause of the couple's break up.

However, logically speaking, the Janice incident had nothing to do with Lowell at all.

After experiencing so much, Gary had become much more mature, no longer letting his emotions do the thinking for him.

He sat down and thought about a lot of things, reflecting over and over again during Celeste's departure.

He thought he was the problem in their relationship. In the end, everything had to do with him and not any external factors.

So it was no one else's fault, much less Lowell's.

Fortunately, he reconciled with Celeste, and it was all history.

But Lowell was still avoiding them even until now. Gary could understand he probably feared anything he said might lead to their another breakup.

Seeing how badly Lowell was avoiding them, Gary thought he was once bitten, twice shy.

It seemed to have scarred him deeply; that wasn't good.

Hence, his suggestion to fly to Boston together was so that their relationship would go back to how it was before and not deliberately avoid each other like that, or everyone would feel awkward.

"Have you forgotten there'll be plenty of others as well in that flying contraption? You won't be the only third wheel there," Gary said, "Or do you want Celeste and me to book the entire plane?"

Stumped, Lowell said with a smile, "If possible, I suggest you do that."

As far as he knew, Gary had earned a lot on his own, so it'd be nothing even if he took a private jet.

"Am I the type of person to do something like that?" Gary retorted.

Lowell shrugged and said, "C'mon, walk a mile in my shoes. Do you know how awkward things get when I see you two all lovey-dovey when I'm all alone?"

"Don't give me your shoot. If you are a man, face it head on instead of trying to run away all the time." Gary rebuked, "Don't think I don't know what's on your mind. It's all in the past now, don't give yourself so much burden. It has nothing to do with you."

Looking straight into Gary's eyes, Lowell felt touched.

He tugged lightly at the corner of his lips and looked away, not wanting Gary to see him in such a state.
