Chapter 2053
"Don't cry." Gary tried to wipe away Celeste's tears, but she couldn't stop crying.
He blamed himself for all that had happened, especially with her crying this hard. He had sinned.
The more he didn't want this, the more he had hurt her and made her cry.
They had just wanted to find somewhere dark to watch a movie and spend some time alone, but who knew she would cry again from watching a movie.
He knew she must be sad because the male and female lead couldn't be together.
It was just like their relationship, which was reaching its end.
There was no way for them to continue on, but they were reluctant to part.
Even without words, Gary would feel sad whenever he saw Celeste's tears.
In the past few days, she had cried again and again, even when they were on the cruise. She was also crying when they were talking about breaking
up.
Gary's heart was about to shatter. How could he call himself a man when he had made the woman he loved suffer so much pain?
Feeling the warm tears on his hand, he didn't know how to respond to this.
Realizing that she was showing her weakness and vulnerability, she turned her head away and escaped his reach.
Taking a deep breath, Celeste tried to calm herself down.
After a few minutes, she had gotten her mood well-adjusted.
Only then did she turn to face Gary again.
"It has nothing to do with you. I was just too immersed in the movie," she said.
However, she didn't plan for this to happen. It was as if she was a sore loser.
How could he not understand that she was lying?
She wasn't feeling great, and neither did he.
Gary sighed. He wanted to continue being with Celeste, but he knew it would bring them both torture.
She felt uncomfortable because she couldn't get over this.
But he was forcing her to.
Well, he couldn't force her anymore.
He knew he couldn't rush things and should give her the space and time she needed. Otherwise, nothing good would come out of this. Soon, the movie ended.
Celeste took a look at her watch and saw that an hour and a half had passed.
"Let's go back." She stood up.
Gary nodded and got up to go back with her.
The Jones Residence seemed livelier than ever when they got home. There were lights everywhere, unlike any other day, and everything seemed festive.
Confused, she stared at the hall with her eyes wide.
Seeing that Celeste and Gary had come back together, Grace was relieved.
She said to them, "We're celebrating today."
Gary frowned.
Celeste was also surprised. "What day is it? What are we celebrating?"
"Looks like Gary hasn't told you yet." Grace smiled and said, "Heinz and Gary went to the Civil Registrar's office today and got Gary's surname changed. He's officially a Jones now."
Celeste immediately looked at Gary with surprise in her eyes.
He did tell her that he was going to the Civil Registrar's office, but she did expect him to change his surname.
This was great news.
She turned to look at Gary.
But he turned his face away, looking a little embarrassed.
Looking at her son, Grace snorted, "How could you not tell Celeste important news. Now you're officially a member and the heir of
Th
vel.ch
Jones Family."
"Haven't I always been so?" Gary said indifferently, "I don't understand why it is so important to get my name changed."
"Of course it is," Grace said, "How
would feel if your children don't
share your surname when you get married to Celeste?"
Hearing this, Gary turned to look at Celeste.
WY
Celeste felt a little awkward. For a moment, she didn't know how to face Gary and Grace.
Not to mention getting married to Gary and having children together.
They were still deciding what to do with their
relationship.
Who knew what the future would bring?
"Alright, as long as you're happy." Gary wasn't too keen on this matter.
He was neither happy nor disappointed.
Since things had gone in this direction, he would just go with the flow. He didn't mind changing his surname.
What was more, he had already broken Celeste's heart. He didn't want to see both his mother and Heinz sad. Sometimes, compromising was the better option.
Gary, too, felt that there were times when he could let things go easily.
"This is great! Congratulations, Aunt Grace." After regulating her mood, Celeste smiled and sent her blessings to Grace.
Gary said, "You two talk. I'll be going upstairs."
Then, he went upstairs.
Celeste and Grace looked at him as he left them both downstairs. Grace said, "He must be feeling embarrassed, so he left."
Speechless, Celeste thought that no one knew Gary better than his mother.
Grace knew Gary so well.
It was true that he felt embarrassed.
Gary, who was walking up the stairs, heard these words. He paused for a brief moment before continuing up.
Grace noticed the furrow on Celeste's face and knew that Celeste had been through a lot.
She was a woman, so she knew how Celeste felt.
But she didn't know what would happen in the future.
It seemed like a tough journey laid ahead for both Celeste and Gary.
And everything was dependent on Celeste's boundaries - her last straw, her bottom line.
With that, Grace took Celeste's hand and brought her to the sofa, saying, "Chat with me for a bit."
"Okay." Celeste nodded.
Celeste followed Grace to the sofa.
They chatted leisurely with each other.
"I was so happy to find that they
were going to the Civil Registrar' et
office today." Grace said, "Do you know why Gary has not changed his surname until today?" Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After a pause, Celeste shook her head.
Grace smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's been a long while, but Heinz had been married before knowing me."
Celeste nodded as she had seen news about this before.
But it was the first time she had heard of it from Grace.
"Gary had always been mad at Heinz for hiding the fact that he had been married from us."
